Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident to ensure the comprehensive care plan described the services and interventions to be used to attain and maintain the residents' practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 1 (Resident #2) of 10 residents reviewed for care plans.The facility failed to implement a person-centered fall prevention care plan with interventions for Resident #2 to meet medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs.The facility failed to implement added interventions of providing a therapy evaluation, failed to drop the seat of his wheelchair, and failed to add non-skid material to wheelchair after fall resulting in fracture. These failures could place residents at risk of not having individual needs met, a decreased quality of life, and cause residents not to receive needed services.Record review of an undated face sheet revealed Resident #2 was an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the diagnoses of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (a type of brain injury where bleeding occurs in the space between the brain and the thin membrane covering it), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), and convulsions (a sudden, violent, irregular movement of a limb or of the body, caused by involuntary contraction of muscles and associated especially with brain disorders).Record review of an admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had a BIMS of 12 which indicated a mild cognitive impairment. Resident #2 required partial to moderate assistance with ADLs such as toileting, transfer, and bathing. Resident #2 had 1 fall with major injury, had a seizure disorder, and had verbal and other behaviors 4 to 6 days per week.Record review of a care plan conference worksheet dated 10/02/2025 revealed a care plan conference was held with Resident #2 and his family members along with the DON, ADON, Administrator and Social Worker to discuss Resident #2's recent fall. The worksheet revealed interventions agreed upon by the family for therapy to evaluate Resident #2's wheelchair to drop the seat.Record review of a care plan dated 10/03/2025 titled History of Falls with major injury stated Resident #2 leaned forward to lock his wheelchair and fell out of his wheelchair. His interventions were listed as therapy evaluation for a restorative program, non-skid material to seat, and x ray of bilateral hips related to complaint of pain. Facility failed to follow interventions of therapy evaluation, and non-skid material to seat of wheelchair.During an interview on 10/20/2025 at 10:00 a.m., Family Member #1 of Resident #2 stated they attended a care plan meeting on 10/02/2025 after a fall that caused a fractured hip. She stated they discussed therapy evaluating Resident #2 for safety and to drop his seat. Family Member #1 stated therapy never evaluated Resident #2 even after they confirmed his hip fracture, he had surgery and returned to the facility, nor did they drop his seat to increase his safety. Family Member #1 stated that put Resident #2 at risk for a repeat fall with a surgically repaired fracture.During an interview on 10/20/2025 at 11:00 a.m., LVN C stated she was the nurse for Resident #2 when he fell.

brakes and slid in slow motion to the floor. She stated she was surprised he had a fracture from the fall because it was a slow soft fall. LVN C stated the interventions were for Resident 2 to be evaluated by therapy, Resident #2's wheelchair seat was to be dropped to prevent him from sliding out when locking his brake. LVN C stated Resident #2 was to have nonskid material in his seat as well. LVN C stated she was told therapy could not evaluate him because of his payer source. LVN C stated she never saw Resident #2 in a wheelchair with a drop seat or nonskid material in his chair.During an interview on 10/22/2025 at 10:00 a.m., the MDS Coordinator stated it was the job of the DON and herself to update all care plans. She stated she was unsure how she missed adding the care plan interventions for a therapy evaluation and a dropped seat for safety. She stated she was also uncertain why the intervention of nonskid material to the chair was not carried out. She stated it was the job of the entire facility to read the care plans and carry out the interventions.During an interview on 10/22/2025 at 11:00 a.m., the DON stated Resident #2 was private pay and had no funding for therapy services. She stated a restorative nursing plan was written for Resident #2. She stated it was initiated 10/13/2025 when he returned from the hospital where he had surgery on his hip. She stated therapy had to evaluate him and drop his seat if it was a safe intervention and they would have provided the nonskid material to put in his chair, but because he was not evaluated before he went to the hospital on [DATE], he had not gotten the nonskid material. She stated not following interventions decided on during the care plan meeting could have resulted in further injury to the residents from another fall. During an interview on 10/22/2025 at 11:30 a.m., the Administrator stated it was important to follow interventions decided on by the IDT (interdisciplinary team). He stated it was important because the interventions were put in place to keep the residents healthy and safe. The Administrator stated Resident #2 had a care plan meeting on 10/02/2025 following a fall that injured the resident. He stated it was decided that therapy would evaluate him for safety in his wheelchair. Resident #2 was not evaluated by therapy because he was private pay, and the cost had to be approved by the family. Resident #2 eventually went to the hospital to have surgery on his fractured hip. The Administrator stated therapy evaluated him for a restorative program when he returned from the hospital, but he was not evaluated for a dropped seat or nonskid material for his wheelchair.Record review of the facility's policy dated 07/20/2021 titled ‘Comprehensive Care Planning revealed The facility will develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with the resident rights that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment.services that are to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. The facility will establish, document, and implement the care and services to be provided for each resident to assist in attaining or maintaining his or her highest practical quality of life.
