F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on record review, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to notify Resident #21's family of a resident's fall in a timely manner. This affected one (Resident #21) of three residents reviewed for family notification. The facility census was 83. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #21 revealed an admission date of 08/15/23 with diagnoses of Parkinson's disease without dyskinesia, muscle weakness, and vascular dementia. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment completed 09/26/24 revealed Resident #21 was cognitively intact. Review of Resident #21's General Durable Power of Attorney (POA) form dated 04/20/23 revealed the resident's wife was the POA for healthcare and listed in the medical record as emergency contact number one. Review of the Resident Preferences Evaluation dated 08/26/24 revealed It is very important for the resident to have their family or a close friend involved in discussions about their care. Review of the incident report dated 09/28/24 revealed Resident #21 was exiting the restroom when he slid down to the floor, landing on his bottom. An assessment completed post-fall revealed he was alert and oriented to person, with no injuries found. The report revealed the physician was notified on 09/28/24 at 1:57 A.M., and the spouse was notified on 09/28/24 at 4:36 P.M. Review of the progress notes dated 09/28/24 revealed Resident #21 slid down to the floor while in the restroom with no injury. The medical record did not have evidence that the POA/family were notified of the fall. The progress note dated 09/28/24 at 5:15 P.M. revealed Resident #2's POA was contacted regarding the resident's fall, which occurred approximately 15 hours after the incident. Interview on 10/09/24 at 11:30 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #900 confirmed Resident #21's family/POA was not notified timely after the fall. RN #900 confirmed this nurse observed the fall however did not notify the family immediately after stabilizing the resident and informing the doctor. Interview on 10/09/24 at 1:32 P.M. with RN #999 confirmed family members should be notified as soon as practicable of a resident's fall. Interview on 10/09/24 at 1:58 P.M. with the Administrator, Director of Nursing, and Regional Director of Clinical Operations #1 confirmed family members should be notified immediately after a resident's fall.
