was reaching for something and fell out of bed hitting the back of her head. The resident was in severe pain
and was sent to the ER. This form indicated a QAPI 5 Whys - Root Cause would be completed yet this
section was not filled out. Review of the Summary authored by the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the
call light was in reach, non-skid socks on both feet, the reacher was next to the resident and the resident
had two falls in the past day. There was no indication in the investigation that the fall mat was in place at the
time of the fall. There was also no documentation of a root cause analysis to determine how best to prevent
further falls.
A review of a fall assessment dated [DATE] revealed a score of 21 indicating a high risk for falls.
Review of the facility fall investigation including the facility forms titled Personnel QAPI Statement of Falls,
dated 03/06/25 and authored by CNA #304 who was assigned to the resident this day, revealed on
03/06/25 at 1:00 P.M. Resident #77 sustained a fall. The description of the fall was she was laying on the
floor beside her bed. R stated she was trying to get to the sink. The rest of the form was blank except for
the CNA's signature so there was no information pertaining to when the resident was seen by staff, when
she was last toileted, any fall interventions in place, details of the physical environment nor any information
pertaining to the QAPI 5 Whys - Root Cause to determine

circumstances involved with the fall. Review of the Summary authored by the DON revealed the resident
was found laying on the floor in her room on her left side parallel to the bed with no obvious injuries. The
resident stated she got up to go to the sink. The call light was in reach. She is able to self-propel her
wheelchair but leans forward when doing so and does not stay in a common area for staff to monitor.
Interventions included notification to doctor and daughter and she will be observed every hour for her
whereabouts and doings. There was no information in the summary to identify if she had on proper
footwear, and did she fall from her bed or the wheelchair. There was also no mention of the conditions of
the physical environment in her room nor a root cause analysis to determine how best to prevent further
falls.
A review of a fall assessment dated [DATE] revealed a score of 21 indicating a high risk for falls.
Review of the facility fall investigation including the facility forms titled Personnel QAPI Statement of Falls
dated 03/16/25 and authored by CNA #293, revealed on 03/16/25 at 2:10 P.M. she heard an abnormal
sound and found the resident in her room sitting on the floor. The resident was last seen in her wheelchair
and had on shoes. There was no mention by CNA #293 if any fall interventions were in place. Another
statement of falls dated 03/16/25 and authored by RN #274 revealed she became aware of the fall by an
abnormal sound. The resident was in her room, laying on her left side, feet at the middle of the bed and her
head on the recliner. The resident had been in a wheelchair since 11:00 A.M., was last repositioned and
toileted at 2:00 P.M. and was also seen at 11:45 A.M., 12:00 P.M. and 1:45 P.M. The resident had on shoes.
Devices listed included floor mat and non-skid pad to the wheelchair. The problem statement and reasons
why the fall occurred included: resident leans to the left side, resident refused to go with activities and
refused to leave the room - hit and pinched staff. It was noted a pillow was placed to the left side. Review of
the Summary authored by the DON revealed the fall occurred on 03/16/25 at 2:10 P.M. The resident was
found on the floor laying on her left side. An area of purpura opened on her left hand measuring 0.5
centimeters (cm) by 0.5 cm by 0.1 cm. The resident was unable to state what happened. She had a
tendency to lean forward in her wheelchair. She cannot self-propel her wheelchair recently. She was
wearing shoes. The wheelchair was tipped on its left side. A pillow was placed on her left side prior to the
fall to try and prevent her from leaning to her left. She refused to leave her room prior to the fall and was
hitting and pinching staff. The conclusion was that she tipped over her wheelchair by leaning to the left side
reaching for something. The purpura on her left hand rubbed the floor causing it to open. Interventions
included notification to doctor and daughter, vital signs and assessment and resident to be up in Broda
chair for positioning. There were no further details regarding whether the fall was witness or unwitnessed or
if the resident was supervised or unsupervised in her wheelchair in her room.
A review of a fall assessment dated [DATE] revealed a score of 20 indicating a high risk for falls.
A review of the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) dated 02/01/25 to 02/28/25 revealed the body pillow
to the open side of the bed and the fall mat were not documented as in place until 02/24/25.
On 04/01/25 at 4:00 P.M. an interview with ADON #210 verified the fall investigations dated 02/03/25 ,
02/22/25, 02/23/25 at 4:00 A.M., 02/23/25 at 2:00 P.M., 03/06/25, and 03/16/25 lacked completed
Personnel QAPI Statement of Falls and complete root cause analyses to prevent future falls. ADON #210
also verified the floor mat to the side of the bed that was listed as an immediate intervention for the fall on
02/23/25 at 4:00 A.M. was not ordered for Resident #77 until 02/24/24 and the fall occurring for the second
time on 02/23/25 at 2:00 P.M. when documented made no mention of the fall mat

being in place when the resident fell.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 04/01/25 at 1:00 P.M. an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #239 revealed she was the nurse called
to the room on 02/03/25. RN #239 could not recall if Resident #77 had any altered mental status the day of
the fall. RN #239 verified Resident #77 slipped out of bed trying to get up unassisted. RN #239 verified
Resident #77 was high risk for falling.
Residents Affected - Few
On 04/01/25 at 1:30 P.M. an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #242 revealed she was the
nurse called to the room on 02/22/25. LPN #242 stated Resident #77 was slightly agitated on that day and
she placed Resident #77 on hourly checks. LPN #242 also stated Resident #77 would often swing legs over
the side of the bed, and confirmed Resident #77 was high risk for falling.
On 04/01/25 at 4:15 P.M. an interview with RN #274 revealed she was the nurse assigned to Resident #77
on 03/16/25. RN #274 stated Resident #77 was very agitated on 03/16/24 and was unattended by staff
when she fell from the wheelchair at 2:10 P.M. RN #274 confirmed Resident #77 was a high fall risk.
A review of the policy titled Falls Protocol, dated 11/13/25, revealed for an individual who has fallen staff will
attempt to find possible causes within 24 hours of the fall. Causes refer to factors that are associated with
or that directly result in a fall. If the cause of the fall is unclear, if the fall may have a significant medical
cause such as stroke or an adverse drug reaction, or if the individual continues to fall despite attempted
interventions, a physician will review the situation and help identify contributing causes. Many categories of
medications, and especially combinations of medications in several of those categories, increased the risk
of falling. The staff and physician will continue to collect and evaluate information until either the cause of
falling is identified, or it is determined that the cause cannot be found or that finding a cause would not
change the outcome or the management of the fall in fall risk. Based on the preceding assessment, the
staff and physician will identify pertinent interventions to try to prevent subsequent falls and to address risk
of serious consequences of falling. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will
try various relevant interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of falling, until falling
reduces or stops or until a reason is identified for its continuation. The staff and physician will monitor and
document the individual's response to interventions intended to reduce falling or the consequences of
falling. If the individual continues to fall, the staff and physician will reevaluate the situation and consider
other possible reasons for the residents falling and will reevaluate the continued relevance of current
interventions. As needed, the physician will document the presence of uncorrectable risk factors, including
reasons why any additional search for causes is unlikely to be helpful.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Numbers OH00163927,

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and policy review, the facility failed to ensure medications remained in original
packaging. This affected one resident (Resident #77) of three residents reviewed for medication
administration. The facility census was 87.
Findings include:
A review of medical records for Resident #77 revealed a date of admission of 12/19/24 with diagnoses
including Parkinson's disease, repeated falls and dementia with mild psychotic disturbance.
Review of physician orders dated 12/19/24 revealed an order for nuplazid (a medication used to treat
hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease psychosis) 34 milligrams one capsule by
mouth daily to start on 12/20/24.
Review of the significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #77 had severe cognitive impairment. There were no hallucinations, delusions or behaviors noted.
On 03/24/25 at 12:02 P.M. an interview with the daughter of Resident #77 revealed she obtained the
nuplazid from a specialty pharmacy for Resident #77.
On 03/25/25 at 1:32 P.M. an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed during a review of
Resident #77's nuplazid medication administration by the nurses, the DON discovered Licensed Practical
Nurse (LPN) #231
was taking any remaining nuplazid pills from a currently opened bottle and pouring them into the newest
bottle of nuplazid brought into the facility by Resident #77's daughter so the bottles of nuplazid were being
combined into one bottle. The DON verified this was not proper medication storage, as each bottle should
have been maintained separately.
On 03/25/25 at 3:55 P.M. an interview with the daughter of Resident #77 revealed she had knowledge of
the nuplazid pills being combined into one bottle.
On 03/26/25 at 8:22 A.M. an interview with Registered Nurse (RN) #255 revealed she counted the nuplazid
pills on 03/04/25 with the daughter of Resident #77 and there were 39 pills in the bottle. RN #255 stated the
new bottles of nuplazid come in counts of 30. RN #255 stated she knew a nurse combined the bottles.
On 03/27/25 at 7:50 A.M. an interview with LPN #231 revealed she had combined two bottles of nuplazid
into one when the daughter handed her two bottles of the medication.
A review of the policy titled; Medication Storage dated October 2013 revealed medications will be kept in
the original packaging dispensed by the pharmacy.
This deficiency represents non-complaince identified during the investigation of Complaint Number
