What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure fall interventions were implemented and thorough post-fall investigations were conducted. This affected one (#2) of three residents reviewed for fall prevention in a facility census of 79. Findings include: Review of the medical record revealed Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included malignant neoplasm of the upper right lobe lung and bronchus, acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and hypercapnia, type II diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, pneumonia, bacteremia, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, generalized anxiety, major depression, shortness of breath and chronic fatigue. Review of the most current Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment revealed Resident #2 was assessed with moderately impaired cognition, utilized a wheelchair for mobility, required supervision/touching assistance with activities of daily living, partial to moderate assistance with toileting and chair/bed transfer, was always continent of bowel and bladder, had no falls since admission, and was not at risk for pressure ulcer development with no skin breakdown. In addition, the resident received oxygen therapy and hospice services. Review of fall risk assessments completed on 11/17/25, 12/23/25, and 12/26/25 revealed Resident #2 was assessed at high risk for falls. Review of Resident #2's nursing plan of care revealed a revision on 11/20/25 to address the resident's activity of daily living (ADL) self-care performance deficit related to congestive heart failure, chronic fatigue, generalized weakness. Interventions included the resident required a one person assist with transfer and toileting. Further review revealed, on 12/07/25, a nursing plan of care was revised to address Resident #2's episodes of bladder and bowel incontinence related to congestive heart failure, and diabetes. Interventions included to administer medications per physician order, assist with toileting needs, periodically evaluate the resident's pattern of urination and episodes of incontinence, and report if the resident had no output. In addition on 12/07/25, a plan of care was revised addressing Resident #2's risk for falls related to decreased strength and endurance, functional problems, generalized weakness, history of falls, needs assistance with ADLs. Interventions included to educate the resident and family to call for assistance before transferring, keep food/fluids within reach, implement preventative fall interventions/devices, maintain the call light within reach, educate the resident to use the call light, maintain needed items within reach, monitor for changes in mobility, and provide non-skid footwear. Review of a fall occurrence evaluation dated 12/23/25 at 9:00 P.M. revealed Resident #2 was found on the floor in her room by her bed, sitting on her buttocks. Resident #2 indicated she was attempting to use the bathroom when the fall occurred and no injury was documented. Interventions included to educate the resident and family to call for assistance before transferring, keep food/fluids within reach, and provide non-skid footwear. There was no intervention to include attempting a toileting schedule or assistant to bathroom which was the nature of the resident's fall.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete post fall risk evaluation dated 12/23/25 noted Resident #2 to have sustained previous falls, used a crutches, cane or walker, assessed with weak gait. Review of a fall occurrence evaluation dated 12/26/25 at 4:00 A.M. noted Resident #2 was discovered by staff passing in hall and noticed the resident scooting along on the floor. Resident #2's mask was sitting on resident's bed, and the bedside commode and walker were at the resident's bedside. Resident #2 indicated she was using the bathroom when she got shaky and sat on the floor so she did not fall and hurt herself. Vital signs were taken, a head-to-toe assessment was performed, and all findings were within normal limits with no new injuries or skin issues noted. Further review revealed the facility initiated a fall protocol with interventions including to educate the resident and family to call for assistance before transferring, keep food/fluids within reach, and provide non-skid footwear. There was no intervention to include a toileting schedule or assistant to use the bathroom which was the nature of the resident's fall. In addition, there was no documentation indicating interventions in place at the time of the fall when the resident was last observed or whether the resident's call light was activated or not. Observation on 12/30/25 at 1:40 P.M. noted Resident #2 seated on the bedside. Resident #2 was noted with anti-embolism stockings applied to the bilateral lower extremities with the socking toes dangling from the feet and not securely in place. There were no slip resistant footwear was applied to the resident's feet. Observation on 12/31/25 at 3:35 A.M. revealed Resident #2 was seated on the bedside commode with no slip resistant footwear applied. At 3:36 A.M., interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #300 revealed she was unaware the resident was up at the bedside without supervision. LPN #300 indicated Resident #2 was to be assisted by staff to transfer from the bed and not to self-transfer. On 12/31/25 at 8:35 A.M., interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), during a review of Resident #2's medical record, verified no interventions were implemented to determine Resident #2 bowel and bladder habits or toileting schedule. The DON confirmed Resident #2 sustained falls related to self-transferring to the toilet and bedside commode, and according to the fall investigation documentation for the falls occurring on 12/23/25 and 12/26/25, no information was obtained to determine fall interventions in place at time of fall, when Resident #2 was last observed, or if the call light activated at time of the falls. Review of facility falls policy, dated September 2021, revealed based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falls. The staff, with the input of the attending physician, will identify appropriate interventions to reduce the risk of falls. If a systematic evaluation of a resident's fall risk identifies several possible interventions, the staff may choose to prioritize interventions. If falling recurs despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional interventions, or indicate why the current approach remains relevant. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or until the reason for the continuation of the falling is identified as unavoidable. If the resident continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the situation and whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions.This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2689209.
