Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, select facility policy, facility investigative documentation, and staff and resident
interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure necessary assistance with activities of daily living
and supervision were provided to prevent an accident that resulted in a major head injury resulting in harm
for one of ten sampled residents (Resident 1).Findings include: A review of facility policy entitled Fall
Management System last reviewed [DATE] revealed, it is the facility policy to provide appropriate
evaluations and interventions to prevent falls and minimize complications if a fall occurs. Closed clinical
record review for Resident CR1 revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
including dementia (a progressive disorder causing memory loss and impaired judgment), muscle
weakness (loss of muscle strength), hypertension (high blood pressure), and a history of falling (previous
episodes of losing balance). An admission Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS, a federally mandated
standardized assessment process conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated [DATE],
indicated the resident was moderately cognitively intact with a BIMS (brief interview to assess cognitive
status) score of 13 (13 to 15 represents cognitively intact) and required the assistance of staff for activities
of daily living (ADL'S, basic selfcare tasks such as dressing, bathing, toileting, and ambulation). A physical
therapy discharge note dated [DATE], included a functional skilled assessment to include the resident's
level of ambulation and documented that the resident ambulated 10 feet following staff setup with a roller
walker (a two wheeled walking device used for balance and mobility). The note described gait training
(instruction to improve walking safety and coordination) with the roller walker to normalize gait pattern. A
review of the resident's care plan for ADL selfcare performance, revised [DATE], documented the resident
as independent for transfers and ambulation with the roller walker. A review of facility investigative
documentation and nursing progress notes dated [DATE], at 11:45 AM revealed Resident CR1 was found
on the floor of the locked dementia dining/activity room next to a recliner chair. The resident's wheelchair
was located behind her. Employee 3 (LPN, licensed practical nurse) assessed the resident and
documented no apparent injury. The resident was placed back into the recliner chair. The report indicated
she had slipper socks on. There was no evidence that the roller walker was present in the room at the time
of the incident. Documentation reflected that the resident stated, I was getting up and my legs got tangled. I
tried to walk by pushing the wheelchair and I fell on my butt. A therapy referral was initiated, and the
resident was educated to use the roller walker when ambulating or transferring. A new physician's order
dated [DATE], directed staff assistance of two persons with the roller walker for all transfers and ambulation.
The resident's care plan and electronic Kardex were updated to reflect the change in ambulation/transfer
status to assistance of two staff with the roller walker. A witness statement dated [DATE], from Employee 1
(Activity Aide) documented that she did not witness Resident CR1's fall but found the resident sitting on the
floor.

During an interview on [DATE], at 1:00 PM, Employee 1 stated she was assisting other residents in the
activity room and did not recall whether Resident CR1 had her walker in the room, stating probably not
because the resident was seated in the recliner. A review of facility investigative documentation and nursing
notes dated [DATE], at 8:05 AM revealed the resident was being assisted by Employee 2 (Nurse Aide) from
her bed to a standing position when she leaned forward and fell into the wall. The Registered Nurse (RN)
Supervisor was notified. The resident was found face down between the bed and wall with her right arm
under her body and a laceration (deep cut) noted to the right temple area (side of the head) with blood
surrounding the head and face. Documentation indicated the resident was unresponsive for three minutes
before responding to verbal stimuli. Resident CR1 indicated she had pain in her right arm and was noted to
have a hematoma (blood underneath the skin) to her right wrist emergency medical services were called,
and the resident was transported to the hospital. Education was provided at that time to Employee 2 (Nurse
Aide) regarding using proper assistive devices when transferring a resident. A written witness statement
dated [DATE] (no time indicated) revealed Employee 2 (Nurse Aide) stated Resident CR1 Sat up on the
side of the bed. She was going to the bathroom. I was with her when she stood up. She pulled on the right
side of her night gown. She leaned forward, fell face first on the floor, hitting her head on the wall. I got
Employee 3 (LPN) right away. During an interview on [DATE], at 2:00 PM Employee 2 (Nurse Aide) stated
she was performing morning care for Resident CR1 on the morning of [DATE]. She explained that she
assisted the resident to a seated position on the edge of the bed and stood her up by herself. Employee 2
stated the resident began to pull on her gown, leaned forward, and fell into the wall next to the bed.
Employee 2 stated she was aware the resident utilized a roller walker for transfers and ambulation and that
the walker was not in the room at the time of the fall. She further stated she believed the resident was an
assist of one with a roller walker and could not remember if she reviewed the electronic Kardex (the
facility's electronic care assignment system used to identify resident care needs) prior to providing care that
day. A written witness statement dated [DATE], at 10:50 AM from Employee 3 (LPN) documented that upon
entering Resident CR1's room, the resident was lying prone (face down) on the floor with her head facing
away from the nurse, positioned with her head toward the mirror and her feet toward the bed. A copious
(plentiful) amount of blood was noted surrounding the resident's head. The Registered Nurse (RN)
Supervisor was immediately notified. During an interview on [DATE], at 1:45 PM Employee 3 (LPN) stated
that Resident CR1's first fall had occurred on [DATE], when therapy staff were not on duty. She stated that
nursing staff implemented an interim increase in the resident's assistance level following that fall, pending
therapy evaluation. Employee 3 stated that the physician was contacted after the [DATE] fall and issued a
new order for the updated assistance level of two persons for assistance and ambulation with rollator
walker. A review of hospital documentation dated [DATE], revealed the resident sustained a 7 centimeter
(cm) scalp laceration that was closed with 5 sutures and a CT scan (computed tomography scan, a
specialized X-ray imaging test producing detailed internal images) identified an acute right sided subdural
hematoma (a collection of blood between the brain and its outer covering) with mass effect (pressure on
brain tissue) and an 8 millimeter (mm) midline shift (displacement of the brain from its normal position). The
resident was admitted to the trauma intensive care unit (TICU) with the subdural hematoma, brain swelling
and compression, right hand contusion, and left knee and thigh ecchymosis (skin discoloration from
bleeding under the skin). The resident returned to the facility on [DATE], and on [DATE], experienced an
episode of unresponsiveness and a change in condition. The resident was hospitalized and returned on
[DATE]. Documentation indicated the resident's condition continued to decline. Hospice services were
initiated on

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of controlled drug records and select facility policy and staff interview, it was determined the facility
failed to implement pharmacy procedures for reconciling controlled drugs and records accounting for their
administration for two of 10 residents sampled (Resident 2 and 3). Findings include: A review of the facility's
Medication Administration policy reviewed November 2024 revealed that medications are prepared only by
licensed nursing staff, medical staff, pharmacy or other personnel authorized by state laws and regulations
to prepare medications. Prior to administration, the medication and dosage schedule on the resident's
medication administration record (MAR) is compared with the medication label. Administration of the
medication is documented immediately after it is given.Clinical record review revealed Resident 2 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of dementia (a progressive disorder causing memory loss
and impaired judgment), anxiety and mood disorder. A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS, a
federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care)
dated September 4, 2025, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired with a BIMS (brief
interview to assess cognitive status) score of 3 a score of 0-7 indicates severe cognitively impairment),
required assistance for activities of daily living and received antianxiety medication. A physician's order
dated September 8, 2025, directed administration of Ativan 0.5 mg (an anti-anxiety medication) by mouth
every 6 hours as needed (PRN) for anxiety. The resident's September 2025 individual resident-controlled
substance record (a prescription drug that is regulated by federal and state laws because it has the
potential for abuse dependence or addiction) accounting for Resident 2's supply of the controlled drug, and
nursing staff's removal of doses for administration of Ativan 0.5 mg revealed that nursing staff signed out
doses of the controlled medication for administration to the resident on the following dates and times:

AMReview of the corresponding September 2025 MAR (medication administration record) did not contain
documentation showing those medications were administered as ordered. Clinical record review revealed
Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of dementia and anxiety. An annual MDS
dated [DATE], revealed that Resident 3 was severely, cognitively impaired with a BIMS score of 3 and
required assistance for activities of daily living and received antianxiety and pain medication. The resident
had a physician order dated May 10, 2025, for Ativan 0.5 mg (an antianxiety medication) one tablet by
mouth every 6 hours as needed for anxiety/restlessness. The resident's August 2025 individual
resident-controlled substance record accounting for Resident 3's supply of the controlled drug, and nursing
staff's removal of doses for administration of Ativan 0.5 mg revealed that nursing staff signed out doses of
the controlled medication for administration to the resident on the following dates and times: August 1,
