taken and were within normal limits. Resident #11 reported no pain and had no observed injuries.
Notifications were made and Resident #11's care plan was updated to include a two person assist.
Review of the Resident #11's fall investigation dated 11/20/24 revealed Resident #11 had a witnessed fall in
his room. It was noted Resident #11 was being taken care of by the aide. The aide was turning Resident
#11 on his right side when his weak leg gave out on him. Resident #11 was able to grab hold of the bar on
the side of the bed and slide himself down to the floor. It was noted Resident #11 was paralyzed and his
legs went over the side of the bed. Resident #11 was assessed and no injuries were observed at the time
of the incident. Notifications were made.
Review of Resident #11's progress notes revealed on 11/22/24 the facility's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT)
met and discussed Resident 11's fall that occurred on 11/20/24 at 9:16 P.M. The Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) was providing care to Resident #11 when the fall occurred. Resident #11 was rolled onto his right
side and his feet went over too far on the bed. Resident #11 was able to lower himself to the floor by
holding onto the enabler bars. Resident #11 was assessed for injuries none were noted at the time.
Resident #11 was assisted up from the floor back into the bed. Upon further evaluation it was noted
Resident #11 had no control from waist down due to being a paraplegic. Due to Resident #11's paraplegia
diagnosis he required additional assistance with bed mobility. A new fall intervention was implemented for
bed mobility to be performed with two caregivers at all times.
Interview on 12/31/24 at 9:00 A.M. with CNA #112 revealed Resident #11 required assistance with bed
mobility and transfer. CNA #112 reported one person assistance was required for Resident #11 being
repositioned and being provided care in the bed and two staff were needed for transfer. CNA #112 reported
Resident #11 was cooperative with care. CNA #112 reported she was not working at the time of Resident
#11's fall but reported she had been informed Resident #11 was receiving care and fell off the side of the
bed. CNA #112 stated she was not aware of what care was being provided but was aware the CNA who
was providing care was currently off on maternity leave.
Interview on 12/31/24 at 9:06 A.M. with Resident #11 found him to be alert and aware. Resident #11
reported the CNA assisted him into the bed and was turning him to provide incontinence care. Resident
#11 reported CNA had not made sure he was positioned properly in the bed and when he was turned, he
was too far to the side of the bed. Resident #11 stated when the CNA flopped his leg over for him to be
turned, he rolled right out of the bed toward the window. Resident #11 reported he hung on to his mobility
bar and was able to hold himself up, so he didn't fall all the way down, but stated it was the CNA who was
responsible for him rolling out of bed. Resident #11 also reported the aides continued to provide repositing
and care with one staff other than when he was transferred using the mechanical lift device (Hoyer).
Resident #11 reported two staff assisted him with transfer in the lift.
Interview on 12/31/24 at 10:17 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the CNA who was witness
to Resident #11's fall on 11/20/24 was no longer working. The DON reported she had taken her statement
during the fall review. The CNA reported she had been providing care to Resident #11, who was paraplegic,
when the momentum of his top leg being moved over his bottom leg caused Resident #11 to go over the
side of the bed. The DON verified Resident #11 went over the side of the bed and had caught himself using
his mobility bar so he did not fall to the floor. The DON reported Resident #11 then lowered himself to the
floor and was transferred back to bed by two staff using a mechanical lift device (Hoyer). Resident #11 was
examined and had no injuries at the time.
Follow up interview on 12/31/24 at 10:37 A.M. with the DON verified Resident #11 had been
