**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of clinical records, interviews with staff, facility documentation and policy, it was determined that the
facility failed to implement fall interventions for one of two residents reviewed for falls. (Resident CL1)
Findings include:
Review of Resident CL1's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses including cerebral palsy (group of neurological disorders that affect movement), muscle
weakness, need for assistance with personal care, and abnormalities of gait and mobility. Resident CL1 had
a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15, indicating intact cognitive function.
Review of Resident CL1's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated resident assessment
and care screening), dated April 13, 2025, indicated that the resident had an upper extremity impairment on
one side, and lower extremity impairment on both sides. The resident utilized wheelchair for mobility and
required substantial/maximal assistance with showers; and extensive assistance with bed mobility (how
resident moves to and from lying position, turns side to side, and positions body while in bed.)
Review of Resident CL1's current care plan revealed a care plan for falls related to deconditioning,
date-initiated January 5, 2025. Interventions included low bed in lowest position at all times, except during
care.
Continued review of Resident CL1's clinical records revealed a nursing note dated April 28, 2025, which
indicated, resident fell at 10:15 p.m. and complained of pain on the head. The resident hit her face on the
nightstand.
Review of facility fall investigation dated April 28, 2025, revealed that the resident fell at 10:15 p.m. and hit
her head on the nightstand. Review of resident statement revealed, I slid off the bed while on my side.
Interview with the Director of Nursing, conducted on May 5, 2025, at 10:52 a.m. revealed, the aid was
bathing the resident on the air mattress. The resident was on her side, on the bed and lying on the middle
of the bed. The Nurse Assistant, Employee E5, noted redness on her bottom and went to the door to ask for
some cream and the resident had fallen.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Interview with the Nurse Assistant, Employee E5, conducted on May 5, 2025, at 12:10 p.m. revealed that
the resident was positioned in the middle of the bed, on her right side facing the door; and the bed was in
the average position at the hips when I went up to the door to ask for cream. Further interview confirmed
that Employee E5 had not placed the bed in the lowest position and on the back side, prior to leaving the
resident unattended.
Residents Affected - Few
Follow-up interview with the Director of Nursing, conducted on May 5, 2025, at approximately 1:30 p.m.
confirmed that the resident's bed should have been lowered before the Nurse aide, Employee E5 walked
away from the resident to request the cream because she was no longer providing direct care.
