needed minor assistance for bleeding. Decision made to transport to local hospital due to resident
condition, height of fall on head/face, and size of hematoma with associated blood thinner use.
Review of hospital records dated 04/10/25 at 7:27 A.M. revealed the ER noted per EMS Resident #109 was
being cleaned when the patient fell out of bed, over bed guard. Resident #109 fell, hitting her head.
Resident #109 had swelling and abrasion to forehead, bridge of nose, and bleeding from mouth.
Review of hospital records dated 04/10/25 at 7:40 A.M. revealed ER physician noted Resident #109 was
being turned, or something similar and was rolled out of bed. Resident #109 landed on her face. Resident
#109 presented with obvious trauma to the face, including some loose teeth.
Review of Resident #109's physician orders revealed an order dated 04/10/25 every day and night shift to
cleanse hematoma with normal saline, pat dry, apply double antibiotic ointment, leave open to air.
Review of the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) Follow Up Note for the incident date 04/10/25 at 5:55 A.M.
revealed Resident #109 was at risk for falls related to a history of falls, atrial fibrillation, history of
cerebrovascular accident, and seizures. Fall interventions put into place were fall mats to bedside, Resident
#109 to be screened to assess bed mobility, and nonpowered mattress. The IDT note did not identify the
root cause of the fall.
A request was made for the fall investigation related to Resident #109's fall and only a statement from CNA
#280 was provided. There was no evidence of a thorough investigation being completed.
Observation on 04/21/25 at 12:20 P.M. of Resident #109 revealed the resident was lying on a flat mattress
without bolsters or a perimeter mattress, with her feet floating on a cushion, fall mats were on the floor on
each side of the bed. Resident #109 was not interviewable at the time of the observation.
Interview on 04/22/24 at 4:53 P.M. with EMT #650 revealed when they arrived at the facility, Resident #109
was already back in bed, and the mattress she was on had an attached rail on it or like a small speed
bump. EMT #650 stated the EMS team had difficulty getting Resident #109 from the mattress to the gurney
due to the mattress' side support rail. EMT #650 stated he was concerned an individual would have to exert
a lot of effort to get Resident #109 over that bump by themselves. The staff member, possibly a nurse,
onsite told him only one aide was performing personal care, and that one aide was attempting to remove
the draw sheet out from under Resident #109, by herself, which caused Resident #109 to roll out of bed.
EMT #650 stated Resident #109 was not able to move or brace herself against a fall and had significant
visible injuries, including teeth that appeared damaged, a large contusion to her head, and the bridge of her
nose. Resident #109 was transferred to a local hospital.
Interview on 04/23/25 at 3:10 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #280 stated she was providing
incontinence care, and Resident #109 was a one person assist for personal care prior to the fall. CNA #280
stated she rolled Resident #109 away from her and she was trying to pull out the draw sheet, the mattress
and the bolsters leaned away from her and Resident #109, which allowed Resident #109 to roll out of bed.
CNA #280 checked on Resident #109 and she was responsive. CNA #280 called for help. Two nurses and
CNA #280 were able to lift Resident #109 up and put her back in bed. CNA #280 stated she was
suspended for her next scheduled shift and returned the next day for disciplinary education. CNA #280
stated she was told at the time of the re-education that Resident #109's alternating pressure bed could be
made firmer during point of care and then turned back to the prescribed

setting when the resident was not receiving care. CNA #280 stated she was not aware of that function of
the mattress prior to the fall. CNA #280 stated if she had been aware of that function and trained fully on
the use of the mattress prior to providing care to Resident #109, she felt the fall would not have occurred.
Interview on 04/24/25 at 2:30 P.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) revealed the facility's practice was to
educate staff on providing care as instructed in the care plan, such as after a fall. While re-educating CNA
#280 after the fall on 04/10/25, it was discovered CNA #280 was following the current plan of care. DON
stated the root cause of the 04/10/25 fall was a decline in Resident #109's bed mobility, which was
determined by therapy's reassessment of her mobility after the fall. DON stated the mattress was changed
out in an abundance of care, as a low air loss mattress could contribute to accidents and falls. DON did not
specifically recall speaking to CNA #280 about utilizing the autofirm setting on the low air loss mattress for
care, however if CNA #280 stated that they discussed it during her re-education, then it probably happened.
Review of Fall and Accident Management, dated 06/2019, revealed the facility will work to 1. Identify
hazard(s) and risk(s) to decrease the risk of injury; 2. evaluate and analyze hazard(s) and risk(s).
Additionally, A score above 10 indicates an increased risk of falling.
Review of alternating pressure mattress manual revealed the mattress had an Autofirm mode which
provided maximum air inflation to assist both resident and caregiver during resident care and transfer.
Under general repositioning, it was note Autofirm mode may be helpful to achieve a firm surface for
repositioning purposes.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00164933.
