On April 2, 2025, at 12:59 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Administrator, Employee E1, and the Assistant Director of Nursing, Employee E2. Staff confirmed, according to the comprehensive care plan and MDS assessment dated [DATE], Resident R1 requires 2-person assistance for bed mobility, turning, repositioning, and dressing.

It was noted that during the February 14, 2025, screening for Resident R1, the assessment indicated, 1 person assist was required for dressing, but no documentation was made regarding the number of people needed for bed mobility, which is a required detail. A previous Rehab Screening, conducted on November 1, 2024, documented 1-person assistance was needed for both bed mobility and dressing. However, this information was not reflected in Resident R1's care plan and contradicted the MDS assessment dated [DATE]. Employee E6 acknowledged, she signs off on care plan revisions but was unable to provide an explanation as to why Resident R1's care plan was not updated accordingly. On April 2, 2025, at 2:15 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Assistant Director of Nursing, Employee E2, regarding nurse aides' knowledge of which residents require a 1-person assist versus a 2-person assist. Employee E2 reported that, according to the nurse aides' task documentation, it was revealed the nurse aides had been documenting providing 1-person assist to Resident R1 both before and after the incident. The facility failed to provide appropriate staff assistance during morning care to Resident R1 which resulted in actual harm to Resident R1 who sustained a fall and was found with a vertical laceration beginning at the midline of the forehead and extending toward the scalp. This injury exposed the frontal bone and required 35-40 stitches to close the wound. 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1) Management 28 Pa Code 211.10(d) Resident care policies 28 Pa.
