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 (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 366129 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 11 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 366129 B.

F 0689 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 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.

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.
