Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents received services with
reasonable accommodation of the resident needs for two of three sampled residents (Residents 2 and
Resident 3). Resident 2 and Resident 3, who were at risk for falls, did not have the call light (an alerting
device for residents to call for assistance) within the resident ' s reach.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential for not meeting Residents 2 and 3's needs for assistance.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 3 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted the resident on 7/10/2024 with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (an alteration in
consciousness due to brain dysfunction), essential hypertension (an abnormally high blood pressure that
was not a result of a medical condition), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way
the body processes blood sugar [glucose]).
During a record review of Resident 3 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident
assessment tool), dated 10/1/2024, the MDS indicated the resident ' s cognitive (mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills was severely impaired.
During a record review of Resident 3 ' s Fall Risk Assessment, dated 10/27/2024, the Fall Risk Assessment
indicated the resident had a total score of 12. A total score above 10 represented high risk for falls.
During a record review of Resident 3 ' s Care Plan on falls, last revised on 10/27/2024, indicated the
resident was high risk for falls. The Care Plan intervention indicated to be sure the resident ' s call light was
within reach and encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 11/14/2024 at 10:34 a.m. with the Assistant Director of
Nursing (ADON), the ADON observed Resident 3 ' s call light hanging on the television (TV) rack located at
the right head part of the resident ' s bed. The ADON stated Resident 3 ' s call light was not within the
resident ' s reach. The ADON stated the residents used the call light to call nursing staff for assistance. The
ADON stated Resident 3 ' s needs had the potential to not be met. The ADON stated Resident 3 had the
potential to stand up unassisted, fall, and sustain an injury if the resident was unable to reach and use the
call light to request nursing staff for assistance. The ADON stated the facility failed to ensure Resident 3 ' s
call light was within the resident ' s reach.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents receive the
necessary care based on the assessed individual needs to prevent accidents and minimize injuries for one
of the three sampled residents (Resident 1) by failing to:
1. Provide Resident 1 with fall mats (a soft, cushioned pad placed on the floor, designed to help absorb the
impact of a fall and minimize injuries) on both sides of the resident ' s bed.
2. Ensure Resident 1 ' s risk for falls was communicated to the facility staff. The list of fall risk residents on
the huddle report (a short meeting held to allow everyone on the team to know specific important
information about patients) documents was inconsistent.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause falls with injury or harm to Resident 1 and other residents.
Findings:
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility
admitted the resident on 9/14/2024 with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD
- a lung disease characterized by long term poor airflow), age-related osteoporosis (a disease that causes
bones to become weak and more likely to break), and essential hypertension (an abnormally high blood
pressure that was not a result of a medical condition).
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident
assessment tool), dated 10/16/2024, the MDS indicated the resident ' s cognitive (mental action or process
of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills was moderately impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 1
required moderate assistance (helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the
effort.
During a record review of Resident 1 ' s Fall Risk Assessment, dated 10/19/2024, the Fall Risk Assessment
indicated the resident had a total score of 16. A total score above 10 represented high risk for falls.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:02 a.m., Resident 1 was observed
sitting on a wheelchair inside Resident 1 ' s room. Resident 1 ' s room surrounding was observed with
Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2). CNA 2 stated Resident 1 used either side of the resident ' s bed to
get off the bed. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 ' s overbed table was observed on top of the resident ' s fall mat
located at the left side of the Resident 1 ' s bed. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 should have a fall mat on both
sides of the bed. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 could get off the right side of the bed, the side without a fall mat,
and had the potential to fall and sustain an injury.
During an observation and concurrent interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:08 a.m., with Licensed Vocational
Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 stated Resident 1 ' s overbed table was observed on top of the resident ' s fall mat
located at the left side of Resident 1 ' s bed. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 was able to get off the bed from either
the left or the right side. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 ' s overbed table had the potential to cause injury or harm
if the resident got off the left side of the bed. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 had the potential to fall and sustain
an injury such as fracture (broken bone). LVN 1 stated

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a follow up interview on 11/14/2024 at 11:15 a.m. and a concurrent record review of nurse station 1 '
s Huddle Report, dated 10/2024 and 11/2024, reviewed with LVN 1, the Huddle Report indicated there
were multiple days with Resident 1 not identified as high risk for falls. LVN 1 stated huddles were conducted
at the start of every shift and the huddle report was completed. LVN 1 stated inconsistent information in the
huddle book had the potential to cause confusion that may lead to an accident such as resident falls.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 11/14/2024 at 12:14 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated a
huddle was a process to better communicate between the facility staff. The DON stated a huddle report
should be done every shift. The DON stated the incomplete huddle reports meant the huddle was not done
or the report was taken out for facility staff meeting purposes and was not returned in the huddle report
binder. The DON stated Resident 1 had a risk for falls. The DON stated Resident 1 ' s fall mats should be on
both sides of the resident ' s bed. The DON stated Resident 1 had the potential to fall and sustain an injury.
The DON stated the facility failed to provide a fall mat on both sides of Resident 1 ' s bed for safety.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (PnP) titled, Managing Falls and Fall Risk, last
reviewed on 1/2024, the PnP indicated based on previous evaluation and current data, the staff will identify
interventions related to the resident ' s specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling
and to try to minimize complications from falling. The PnP indicated if underlying causes cannot be readily
identified or corrected, staff will try various interventions, based on assessment of the nature or category of
falling, until falling is reduced or stopped, or until the reason for the continuation of the falling is identified as
unavoidable.
