Findings include: Resident #44 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of end stage renal disease, hypoglycemia, pseudobulbar, anxiety, delirium, depression, auditory hallucinations, altered mental status and muscle weakness. Review of the comprehensive assessment for a significant change dated 11/14/19 revealed the resident required extensive assistance with bed mobility and transfers. The resident was unsteady moving from seated to standing position, moving on and off the toilet, and surface-to surface transfers. Review of the resident record revealed the resident sustained a fall on 07/08/19 during the supper meal in the dining room.
