Based on record review, staff interview, and review of the policy, the facility failed to conduct a timely
post-fall investigation. This affected one (#76) of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was
89.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #76 revealed an admission date of 11/23/22, with diagnoses
including: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute kidney failure (AKF), dementia without
behavioral disturbance, and hypertension. Review of the fall risk assessment for Resident #76 dated
05/28/23 revealed resident was at risk for falls.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for Resident #76 dated 07/01/23 revealed resident
was cognitively impaired and required supervision and set up help with activities of daily living (ADLs.)
Review of the nurse progress note for Resident #76 dated 07/25/23 revealed the resident had an
unwitnessed fall and was found in his room lying on the floor perpendicular to his bed. Resident #76
reported he had fallen but couldn't state when the event had occurred. Resident #76 was sent to the
hospital via 911 for an evaluation due to hip pain.
Review of hospital notes for Resident #76 dated 07/25/23 revealed hip x-rays for resident were negative for
fracture. Resident was found to have a urinary tract infection (UTI) and returned with orders for antibiotics.
Review of the care plan for Resident #76 updated 08/07/23 revealed resident was at risk for falls.
Interventions included the following: call light and personal items within reach when in room, anticipate
needs and encourage resident to use call light, encourage resident to wait for assistance and not risk falls,
ensure assistive devices readily available, ensure clutter free walkways, and minimize environmental
hazards, maintain bed in lowest position with brakes on, communicate with members of the Interdisciplinary
Team (IDT) to ensure continuity of care.
Review of the facility post-fall investigation for Resident #76 dated 08/07/23 revealed the IDT met to discuss
the resident's fall from 07/25/23. The facility was unable to determine root cause of the fall, but suspected
UTI was a predisposing factor. The resident was treated for UTI and had no further falls since the fall on
07/25/23.

(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0689
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
not conduct a post fall investigation of Resident #76's fall on 07/25/23 until 08/11/23. DON confirmed the
post fall investigation should be done as soon as possible after the fall and Resident #76's fall investigation
was done 13 days post-fall.
Review of the policy titled Fall Program dated January 2020, revealed the facility would identify all residents
who have a high risk for falls and to ensure adequate interventions are in place to prevent injury. When a
resident had a fall, the facility would complete a post fall investigation within 24 hours.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144308.
