Interview on 10/01/24 at 10:07 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #60 was at high risk for falls due to a history of falls, unsteady gait, dementia, and being restless at times. The DON stated Resident #60 was ambulatory with the use of a walker and would ambulate in the hallways of the facility with staff assistance. At times, Resident #60 would not be content to sit in the recliner or lay in bed and would be known to pack her suitcase with her belongings, verbally stating she wanted to leave the facility. She also shared the resident was known to have increased restlessness in the evening/nighttime and she had observed this when she sometimes worked the evening shift on the floor. The facility had moved Resident #60 from her original room on the back hallway to a room closer to the nurses' desk and on a higher trafficked hallway for better monitoring of Resident #60. The DON shared nurses were to assess the resident, check for injuries, complete paperwork and notifications. If the nurse could not determine an intervention to implement, they would contact the nurse on-call for ideas. The DON then stated the fall would be reviewed in the risk meeting to make sure the paperwork is completed, and an intervention had been implemented. Further interview revealed the resident had fallen on night shift, 09/04/24 and when she (the DON) worked the floor as an aide on 09/05/24, we (she did not indicate who the other staff was) went in to reposition Resident #60 for breakfast and she was complaining of her right leg hurting. The DON stated she had the nurse call (the physician) for X-ray orders. The X-rays were completed and that is how the facility learned the resident had fractures and she was sent to the ER for evaluation. Interview on 10/01/24 at 11:35 A.M. with RN #163 revealed the process for completing a post fall assessment, implementation of fall interventions and updating the fall care plans for residents had been the responsibility of RN #163 to help with the administrative nurse's workload but her administrative job responsibilities had been removed. Interview on 10/01/24 at 11:45 A.M. with the DON confirmed Resident #60 did not have fall interventions implemented for falls which occurred on 07/21/24, 07/28/24, 08/26/24 and 09/04/24. The DON stated there should be interventions implemented for each fall that occurs with a resident.
