prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to provide adequate
supervision to ensure safety during smoking, prevent falls, and prevent injuries from resident care
equipment.
Actual Harm occurred on 01/01/2020 when the facility failed to have effective interventions in place and
provide Resident #7, who was at high risk for falls and had a history of falls, adequate supervision resulting
in the resident sustaining an unwitnessed fall from her wheelchair and sustaining a fractured left hip and
pelvis. This affected one resident (#7) of three residents reviewed for accidents. Additionally, one resident
(#11) of one sampled resident reviewed for smoking was not provided adequate supervision during
smoking, and one resident (#13) of three residents reviewed for accidents did not have their wheelchair
modified to prevent injuries.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #7's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included malignant neoplasm of upper lobe right bronchus or lung, malignant neoplasm,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and atherosclerotic heart disease.
Review of Resident #7's fall risk assessment dated [DATE] revealed she was at high risk for falls.
Review of Resident#7's progress notes revealed on 11/13/2019 at 5:45 P.M. the resident fell from her bed
onto the floor. Resident #7 was unable to answer questions due impaired cognition and communication. A
floor mat was placed on the floor beside her bed.
Review of Resident #7's plan of care regarding falls initiated on 11/27/2019 revealed she was at risk for falls
and to have commonly used articles within easy reach, maintain a clear pathway and her bed locked.
Review of Resident #7's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment, dated 11/29/2019 revealed her speech
was clear, sometimes she was understood, sometimes she understands, her short-term and long-term
memory was impaired, she had no recall and her decision making was severely impaired. Resident #7 had
no indicators of psychosis, no behaviors and did not reject care.
Review of Resident #7's progress notes revealed on 01/01/2020 the resident was found on the floor of her
room. There was no evidence a floor mat was in place at the time of the fall (as implemented after the
11/2019 fall). The note stated Resident #7 was encouraged to eat meals in dining area, educated on proper
use of call light, and encouraged to ask for help. It could not be determined what fall safety interventions
were in place prior to and at the time of the fall and following the fall it could not be determined that new
interventions were individualized and effective for the resident. Resident #7's fall resulted in a skin tear to
right inner and outer knee, right forearm and right elbow. On 01/02/20 at 1:45 P.M. Resident #7 complained
to the Hospice nurse that she had left leg and hip pain. The Hospice nurse directed the staff to send the
resident to the emergency department. Resident #7 was assessed to have a fractured left hip and pelvis.

of effective and individualized fall safety interventions being in place at the time of the fall. Following the fall,
new interventions were to educate and encourage Resident #7 to use her call light and encourage her to
eat in the dining area. (However, the resident was assessed to have severely impaired decision making
skills, no recall ability and long and short term memory impairment).
Residents Affected - Few
Record review revealed Resident #7 sustained a fall on 01/11/20. Review of the post fall investigation dated
01/13/2020 revealed on 01/11/2020 at 12:57 P.M. the resident had fallen from the bed to the floor. There
was no evidence the fall mat was in place to the floor at the time of the fall. A new intervention was added
for half side rails and a new wheelchair with working brakes.
Review of Resident #7's undated post fall investigation revealed on 01/28/2020 at 4:23 P.M. the resident fell
from her wheelchair trying to self-transfer to her recliner chair. There was no evidence of any fall safety
interventions being in place and effective at the time of the fall. Following the fall, the new safety
intervention was Resident #7 being educated on the use of the call light and to ask for help. However, again
the resident was assessed to be cognitively impaired and this interventions would not be effective or
individualized for the resident.
Observation of Resident #7 on 02/10/2020 at 1:15 P.M. revealed her feet were off the footrest of her
wheelchair and Resident #11 asked the Director of Nursing (DON) to reposition Resident #7 as she looked
uncomfortable. The DON placed Resident #7's feet on the footrest but her feet were then hanging over the
footrest. The DON pushed Resident #7 back to her room telling her they would bring her back out. At 1:20
P.M. the DON went to the administrative area and Resident #7 was still in her room. At 1:37 P.M. Resident
#7 was observed in her room in her recliner chair with her feet elevated. Her call light was not within reach.
Observation of Resident #7 on 02/12/2020 at 9:57 A.M. revealed she was in her room in her recliner chair,
asleep, leaning to the right and her feet were elevated. Resident #7's call light was not in reach.
Interview with the DON on 02/12/2020 at 10:08 A.M. confirmed Resident #7's call light was not in reach
(which was a safety intervention for the resident). The DON gave the call light to Resident #7 and instructed
her to use it to call for help, asked the resident if she needed pain medication or to be repositioned.
Resident #7 was sleepy and did not respond.
Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #105 on 02/12/2020 at 10:51 A.M. revealed she was not
aware of Resident #7 using a call light. LPN #105 revealed staff needed to check on the resident a lot when
she was no in a common area (due to her fall risk and inability to use her call light for assistance).
Interview with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #135 on 02/12/2020 at 11:26 A.M. revealed Resident
#7 did not use a call light. STNA #135 revealed staff assisted the resident to bed to sleep at night and the
resident frequently sat in her recliner chair during the day.
Interview with Corporate Registered Nurse #115 on 02/12/2020 at 3:00 P.M. confirmed educating Resident
#7 on the use of the call light to prevent falls was not an appropriate intervention for her. Corporate
Registered Nurse #115 confirmed limited interventions to prevent falls were implemented with Resident #7
and also verified Resident #7 sustained a fall with fracture on 01/01/20 due to a lack of adequate
supervision and effective and individualized fall safety interventions being in place for the resident.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation and interview the facility failed to maintain the floor in the 100 hall and dining area in
a clean and sanitary manner and to ensure the surface was safe for those who walk through this area. This

coming off of some pieces of the laminate flooring exposing the particle board.
Interview with RN #115 confirmed the above findings at the time of the observation.
