A nursing note for Resident 1, dated March 28, 2025, at 3:20 p.m. revealed that the nurse aide informed the nurse that the resident had fallen. The nurse entered the room, and the resident was observed on the left side of the bed on the floor on his right side. The resident stated that he fell and his hip hurts. The resident was assessed by the nurse prior to moving him from floor and back into bed. The resident had small scratches to his right elbow. The areas were cleansed with saline and left open to air. No other injuries were noted at this time. The physician, hospice, and the resident's family member were notified of the incident. New orders were received for an x-ray of his right hip and right femur (the upper leg bone, extending from the hip to the knee) and for bilateral landing mats (mats placed to cushion the fall of a resident who rolls out of bed). The resident was medicated with Oxycodone (a narcotic pain medication to treat moderate to severe pain) for pain and will monitor.
