F 0600 Review of Resident R2's MDS Section GG- Functional Abilities were as follows: Level of Harm - Actual harm - Toileting was coded a 1- dependent, helper does all the effort Residents Affected - Few - Shower/Bathe Self was coded a 2- Substantial Maximum Assistance, helper does more than half the effort - Roll left and right was coded a 1- dependent, helper does all the effort Review of Resident R2's care plan dated 5/22/25, indicated Activity of Daily Living Functional Bed Mobility Assistance. Long term goal indicated resident will accept assistance of two for bed mobility, and tasks while on air mattress. Approach indicated is to provide assist of two at all times for bed mobility related tasks. Air mattress will increase and decrease pressure with rolling, and movement and may increase risk for injury. Review of a written witness statement dated 6/14/25, from NA Employee E1 stated, Resident rolled out of bed. When asked, Did you know or were you aware that Resident R2 was a two assist for bed mobility? NA Employee E1 stated, No. When asked, Did you have the assignment sheet? NA Employee E1 stated, Yes, but I do not know if that was on there. I saw a metal box and I asked the resident to lean towards me, more on your back and I stood in the doorway to talk to the nurse to ask what it was and to get a new patch on the wire. At that time, I heard a loud bang and then my worst fear came true, my resident fell out of bed.

At the time of the incident, the resident had a care plan and assignment sheet indicating that two caregivers were required for bed mobility and personal care, but the NA stated that she was unaware that a second caregiver was required, although the assignment sheet clearly reflects this instruction. MD, family, and Adult Protective Serviced notified. The NA was removed from the schedule. Education will be provided to all aides regarding the requirement for two-person assistance with bed mobility. In addition, staff will be instructed to review their assignments thoroughly prior to the start of each shift to ensure awareness of residents' specific care needs and safety precautions.
