review of facility policy, clinical record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
develop care plans that included instructions to provide person centered care for bed mobility for three of
four residents (Resident R2, R3, and R4).
Findings include:
Review of the facility Comprehensive Care Planning Policy last reviewed 1/2/24, indicated the facility must
develop a comprehensive person centered care plan for each resident that includes measurable objectives
and timetables to meet the resident's medical, nursing, and mental, and psychosocial needs that are
identified in the comprehensive assessments.
Review of Resident R2's admission record indicated she was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with

needs) dated 7/31/24, indicated diagnoses were current. Section GG0170-Mobility indicated the resident
was dependent with the ability roll from lying on back to left and right side, and return to lying on back on

and right side, and return to lying on back on the bed. It was indicated the helper does more than half the
effort.
Review of Resident R3's care plan dated 7/8/24, last revised 9/25/24, indicated the resident was at

that the resident had fallen out of bed. Arrived to resident's room and observed resident lying supine in bed
with a nurse aide holding a towel to the resident's face. The nurse aide indicated while he was performing
care on the resident, he rolled the resident out of bed. The resident struck the left side of his face on a
metal folding chair that was in the room. A laceration was observed to the left upper cheekbone with
swelling and bruising extending under the eye and into the eyelid area. The resident was on Eliquis

for further evaluation.
Review of Resident R1's hospital report dated 10/30/24, indicated the resident sustained a 1.5 cm facial
laceration and a periorbital (refers to the tissues surrounding or lining the orbit of the eye) hematoma
(collection of blood outside the blood vessels) of the left eye after a fall. The resident's laceration was
repaired with steri-strips (thin adhesive bandages that help close shallow cuts or wounds).
Review of the facility report submitted to the Department of Health on 10/31/24, at 10:39 a.m. by the
Director of Nursing (DON) indicated on 10/30/24, Resident R1 was rolled out of bed and struck the left side
of his face on a metal folding chair that was located on the right side of the bed. Resident R1 sustained a
1.5 centimeter laceration to the left upper cheekbone with swelling and bruising that extended under the
eye and into the eyelid area. It was indicated the resident was a two person assist related to being ordered
a mechanical lift for transfers. At the time of the incident there was only one aide present.

resident's transfer status in the clinical record. OT, Employee E9 stated I really don't think we put bed
mobility in an order. It was indicated the ADON is responsible for entering orders from therapy.
