Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on record review, interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to prevent a resident from falling out
of bed. This resulted in Actual Harm when Resident #11 fell out of bed and was transferred to the hospital
where she was found to have a thoracic (section of the spine between the neck and end of ribs)
compression fracture. This affected one (Resident #11) out of three residents reviewed for falls. The facility
census was 38.
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #11 revealed an admission date of 01/06/21. Diagnoses included
type two diabetes mellitus without complications, generalized anxiety disorder, hypertensive heart disease
without heart failure, depression, moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, age-related osteoporosis without
current pathological fracture, acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, intervertebral disc disorders with
radiculopathy lumbar region, muscle weakness, and unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without
behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety.
Review of the plan of care, initiated on 09/09/22, revealed Resident #11 was at risk for falls related to
balance problems, muscle weakness, lack of coordination, dementia, and diabetes mellitus. Interventions
included anticipating and meeting the resident's needs, ensuring call light is within reach, encouraging the
resident to use the call light for assistance, and physical therapy evaluation and treatment as ordered or as
needed.
Review of the plan of care, revised on 12/12/24 revealed Resident #11 had activities of daily living self-care
performance deficit related to activity intolerance, impaired balance, lack of coordination, history of right
femur fracture, diabetes mellitus, and need for varying levels of assistance. Interventions included extensive
assistance by one staff for turning and repositioning in bed at least every two hours and as necessary.
Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 01/13/25, revealed Resident #11 had
moderately impaired cognition. Resident #11 required setup assistance for eating, partial/moderate
assistance for oral hygiene, and was dependent for toileting, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and bed
mobility.
Review of the incident report, dated 02/16/25, revealed Resident #11 was found face down on the floor
between her bed and recliner and could not provide a description of what happened. Resident #11 was
transported to the hospital via ambulance. No injuries were noted, but staff were unable to fully assess the
resident due to her position on the floor.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0689
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of the hospital history and physical dated 02/16/25 revealed Resident #11 was seen in the
emergency room following the fall. The assessment indicated imagining studies determined Resident #11
had a non-displaced oblique fracture (a fracture where the bone breaks at an angle but the broken pieces
remain in their original position) through the left T1 transverse process (wing-like sides of the first vertebra
of the thoracic spine often caused by trauma or muscle contraction). Resident #11 was given a
thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis (TLSO) brace.
Review of the progress note dated 03/02/25 revealed a nurse was alerted by the aide that Resident #11
was throwing things around the room. Upon entry to Resident #11's room, she was hanging off the bed and
was repositioned back in bed by the nurse and the aide.
During an interview on 03/13/25 at 11:50 A.M., Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #92 stated Resident #11
required significant assistance with positioning. CNA #92 stated Resident #11 often slid to the left side of
the bed so she would place a pillow on Resident #11's left side to help with her leaning.
During an interview on 03/13/25 at 2:29 P.M., the Interim Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident #11
was found between her bed and recliner on her left side with a pillow and blanket under her hip. The Interim
DON reported she was unaware of Resident #11's leaning to the left side of the bed and verified there had
been no interventions in place to prevent Resident #11 from falling out of bed. The Interim DON stated she
would have explored the use of bolsters or another intervention if she had been made aware. The Interim
DON also advised she was unaware that Resident #11 had been found hanging out of the bed after the fall
on 02/16/25 that resulted in a fracture.
Review of the policy titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, revised March 2018, revealed based on current
data, staff would identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks to try to prevent the resident
from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00163256.
This is an example of continued non-compliance from the survey dated 01/30/25.
