Observation on 02/07/24 at 8:40 A.M. revealed Resident #62's toilet did not have a raised seat. Interview on 02/07/24 at 8:41 A.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #325 revealed no residents on the secured unit, where Resident #62 was located, had raised toilet seats.

Appropriate interventions will be identified to reduce the risk of falls. Interventions, if successful in preventing falls the interventions will continue and if unsuccessful and the resident continues to fall the staff will re-evaluate the situation and determine whether interventions are appropriate to continue or if current interventions need to be changed. Review of the policy titled, Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Center, dated September 2021, stated a comprehensive, person-centered care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to the resident's physical, psychosocial and functional needs is developed and implemented for each resident with ongoing assessment and care plan revisions as information about the resident and the resident condition change.
