Review of physician orders for Resident #41 revealed an order dated 11/08/23 for a mattress to be placed on the floor to the open side of the bed. Review of the MDS assessment for Resident #41 dated 12/29/23 revealed the resident was cognitively impaired and required substantial/maximum assist for transfers and activities of daily living.

The Surveyor attempted to interview Resident #41 on 02/08/24 at 2:35 P.M. but the resident was unable to participate in an interview or answer questions due to cognitive impairment. Interview on 02/08/24 at 2:47 P.M. with LPN Unit Manager #215 confirmed Resident #41 was supposed to have a mattress placed on the floor to the open side of the bed when the resident was in bed to prevent injuries from falling.

Review of facility policy titled Falls and Managing Falls Risk dated August 2022 revealed staff would identify interventions related to residents' specific fall risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and try to minimize complications from falling. An evaluation of a resident's fall risk would be completed and interventions would be initiated. Review of facility policy titled Care plan and Comprehensive Care Plans dated 03/16/23 revealed the facility would implement the interventions included the resident's care plan. The care plan interventions should be derived from a thorough analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment. Residents had the right to receive services or items named in the care plan. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00150632 and Complaint Number OH00150381.
