Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on observation, clinical record review, review of facility documents, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to protect the rights of a resident to be free from neglect by not providing
the services necessary to avoid physical harm resulting in fractures for one of two residents reviewed
(Resident 1).
Findings include:
An observation of Resident 1 on January 23, 2024, at 11:35 AM revealed she was in an activity with her
head down. An alarm box was noted on her wheelchair.
Clinical record review for Resident 1 revealed that the facility admitted her on September 8, 2023. A
progress note date December 29, 2023, at 9:15 PM revealed that the nurse aide (NA) notified the
registered nurse (RN) that Resident 1 fell and hit the back of her head. Resident 1was observed by the RN
sitting in the hallway on the carpeted floor near the parlor. Resident 1 was bleeding from the back of her
head and was noted to have a laceration on the right side of the back of her head. The RN notified the
certified registered nurse practitioner and received orders to send Resident 1 to the emergency room.
Further clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 returned from the emergency room on December
30, 2023, at 11:03 AM. She was wearing a cervical soft collar. Review of the emergency room report
revealed that she had a displaced fracture (bone breaks in two or more places and moves out of alignment)
of the left sixth cervical vertebrae (near the base of the neck) and a transverse process remote deformity (a
break or crack in one of the wing-like sides at the back of a vertebrae) of the thoracic vertebrae T3 (middle
section of your spine, third segment of the 12 thoracic vertebrae). She also had 9 sutures intact to the right
posterior (back) scalp laceration.
Review of the facility's investigation into Resident 1's fall revealed that Employee 1 forgot to move the alarm
box from the resident's chair to her bed on December 29, 2023, at approximately 8:30 PM. A witness
statement from Employee 1, NA, indicating that she neglected to move the alarm box from Resident 1's
chair onto her bed.
Review of Resident 1's care plan entitled Potential for Falls initiated on September 8, 2023, revealed an
intervention for Resident 1 to have a silent bed and chair alarm for resident safety.
Further clinical record review for Resident 1 revealed a care plan for activities of daily living self-care
performance deficit with an intervention that was initiated on September 22, 2023, indicating Resident 1
required the assistance of one to ambulate and transfer in her room and in the hallway

Residents Affected - Few
Review of the nurse aide point of care (POC) documentation (a computerized system where resident care
needs are identified and documented) for Resident 1 revealed that Employee 1 had access to the care
plan. The care plan indicated that Resident 1 was to have silent bed and chair alarms. Review of the POC
task for Resident 1 revealed that she was to have mobility monitors bed and chair alarms for resident safety

The facility's investigation revealed that Employee 1 was educated on December 29, 2023, at 9:15 PM on
following the resident's care plan. She was also educated on January 3, 2024, on abuse and the facility's
policy and procedure on abuse.
Review of Employee 1's personnel file revealed that she received annual education for falls on November 6,
2023, that included fall prevention. She also received annual education on care plans in December 2023,
and that a resident's care plan provides direction to staff on what care and services a resident required.
Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on January 23, 2024, at 9:50 AM revealed that the facility
only educated Employee 1 and that they did not educate other staff that would be responsible for fall
prevention and following care plans, to prevent this from reoccurring.
The above findings were reviewed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of
Nursing on January 23, 2024, at 12:00 PM.
The facility failed to prevent neglect that resulted in harm for Resident 1.
