Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on review of facility policies, investigation reports, clinical records, and staff education records, as
well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from
neglect for one of seven residents reviewed (Resident 2), resulting in harm to Resident 2 due to a fall that
resulted in fractures.
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding abuse and neglect, dated April 13, 2023, indicated that the facility was to
provide protection for the health, welfare and rights of each resident by developing and implementing
written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation
of resident property.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 2, dated March 30, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact,
required the extensive assistance of two staff for transfers, required limited assistance with ambulation
(walking), was only able to stabilize and balance herself with staff assistance, and had no recent falls. The
resident's care plan, dated March 25, 2023, revealed that she required one staff member and a wheeled
walker for transfers.
A nursing note, dated May 20, 2023, at 11:09 p.m. revealed that the nurse aide was yelling for help and
Resident 2 was found lying on the ground on her stomach, and there was a large amount of blood under
her face, which was coming from the resident's nose. The bridge of the resident's nose was swollen with
bruising and a laceration, and she was transferred to the hospital. A CT-scan (diagnostic test), dated May
21, 2023, revealed the resident had a fracture of the nasal bone.
The facility's investigation dated May 20, 2023, revealed that Resident 2 requested that Nurse Aide 1 walk
with her, and Nurse Aide 1 followed the resident with her wheelchair as the resident walked with her rolling
walker. When Nurse Aide 1 asked the resident to turn and go back to her room the resident said she was
dizzy, and before the resident could be seated, she fell forward. The resident has a history of being dizzy
and receives medication three times a day. The investigation determined that Nurse Aide 1 was not using a
gait belt at the time of the fall. Nurse Aide 1 stated that she thought the resident did not need a gait belt
since it was not care planned.
The facility's new employee training checklist, dated January 25, 2023, revealed that Nurse Aide 1
completed training regarding transfer/ambulation with a gait belt.
An interview with Nurse Aide 1 on June 5, 2023, at 2:47 p.m. confirmed that she did not use a gait
