Based on review of policies and clinical records, as well as observations and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans that included specific and
individualized interventions to address the care needs of residents for two of three residents reviewed
(Residents 1, 3), resulting in a fall with a head injury.
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding assistive devices and equipment, dated September 14, 2023, indicated that
devices and equipment that assisted with resident mobility, safety and independence were provided for
residents, which included wheelchairs, walkers and canes. Recommendations for the use of devices and
equipment were based on the comprehensive assessment and documented in the resident's plan of care.
The facility's care plan policy, dated September 14, 2023, indicated that the comprehensive,
person-centered care plan included measurable objectives and time frames, and described the services
that were furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and
psychosocial well being.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 1, dated August 23, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired,
required extensive assistance with transfers, had limited range of motion to his upper extremities, used a
wheelchair, had a history of falls, and had diagnoses that included dementia and traumatic brain injury
(sudden injury that causes damage to the brain). The resident's care plan, dated September 14, 2023,
revealed that he was at risk for falls and used a wheelchair.
Investigative documents for Resident 1, dated November 15, 2023, revealed that the resident was on the
floor lying in front of his wheelchair with the nurse aide standing beside him. The resident was stabilized,
the bleeding was stopped from the laceration, and he was assessed by the registered nurse.
A statement from Registered Nurse 1, dated November 15, 2023, revealed that when she came upon the
situation to help staff, it was noted that Resident 1's foot rests for his wheelchair were in the bag hanging on
the back of the wheelchair.
There was no documented evidence that a care plan was developed to address Resident 1's specific and
individualized interventions and care needs related to using foot rests on his wheelchair prior to falling from
his wheelchair. However, the foot rests were hanging on the back of the chair and

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on review of policies, investigative reports, and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to take precautions to prevent injury to a resident caused by not having
foot rests on his wheelchair during transport for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 1), resulting in a
fall with a head injury.
Findings include:
The facility's policy regarding assistive devices and equipment, dated September 14, 2023, indicated that
devices and equipment that assisted with resident mobility, safety and independence were provided for
residents, which included wheelchairs, walkers and canes. Recommendations for the use of devices and
equipment were based on the comprehensive assessment and documented in the resident's plan of care.
An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and
care needs) for Resident 1, dated August 23, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively impaired,
required extensive assistance with transfers, had limited range of motion to his upper extremities, used a
wheelchair, had a history of falls, and had diagnoses that included dementia and traumatic brain injury
(sudden injury that causes damage to the brain). The resident's care plan, dated September 14, 2023,
revealed that he was at risk for falls and used a wheelchair.
Investigative documents for Resident 1, dated November 15, 2023, revealed that the resident was on the
floor lying in front of his wheelchair with the nurse aide standing beside him. The resident was stabilized,
the bleeding was stopped from the laceration, and he was assessed by the registered nurse.
A statement from Registered Nurse 1, dated November 15, 2023, revealed that Nurse Aide 2 went to the
nurse's desk after she was involved in an incident with Resident 1. She stated that she was assisting
another resident in the dining room and Resident 1 was in the dining room as well, and he began asking for
help to get back to his room. She continued to help the resident she was with, but Resident 1 continued to
ask her for help, so she began pushing him back to his room because he would not stop asking her for
help. Nurse Aide 2 did not have foot rests on while she was pushing Resident 1 back to his room. Nurse
Aide 2 stated that he was leaning forward and then he put his feet down and fell forward. When Registered
Nurse 1 came upon the situation to help staff, it was noted that Resident 1's foot rests for his wheelchair
were in the bag hanging on the back of the wheelchair.
An emergency room report, dated November 15, 2023, revealed that Resident 1 was being pushed in his
wheelchair and fell forward landing on his face and sustained a facial laceration measuring 5.0 centimeters
(cm).
An e-mail sent from the Director of Nursing to staff, dated November 16, 2023, revealed that Resident 1
had a fall, was transported by the nurse aide without foot rests, and received eight staples on his forehead.
Interview with Nurse Aide 2 on November 29, 2023, at 3:11 p.m. confirmed that Resident 1 was in the
dining room, needed someone to push him back to his room, and he fell on the floor. She stated that she
did not add anything to his wheelchair.
