Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of two sampled
residents (Resident 1) with a history of falls remained free from accidents.
* The facility failed to ensure the care plan problem was revised to address Resident 1's fall incident on
8/28/23. Resident 1 had another fall on 8/30/23. This failure put Resident 1 at risk for further falls and
serious injuries.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Care Plans - Comprehensive revised October 2010 showed assessments
of residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the resident and the resident's
condition change.
Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 9/1/23. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility
on [DATE], and discharged on 8/30/23, to the acute care hospital due to a fall incident.
Review of Resident 1's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 8/14/23, showed Resident 1 was a medium risk for falls.
The Fall Risk Evaluation dated 8/16/23, showed Resident 1 was a high risk for falls.
Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 8/15/23, showed Resident 1 had diagnoses including
dementia (a loss of memory, language, problem–solving and other thinking abilities that are severe
enough to interfere with daily life) and repeated falls among others.
Review of Resident 1's Progress Notes, under Change of Condition section showed Resident 1 fell at the
facility on 8/15/23 at 0542 and 2315 hours, 8/18, 8/21, 8/28, and 8/30/23.
Review of Resident 1's MDS 3.0 Summary dated 8/16/23, showed Resident 1 was cognitively impaired.
Further review of the medical record showed Resident 1 required one person assistance with transfersand
locomotion.
Review of Resident 1's IDT (Interdisciplinary Team – a group of healthcare professionals with
various areas of expertise who work together toward the goals of their clients) notes showed Resident 1 got
out of bed without calling for assistance and the IDT had provided the fall recommendations such as crash
mats (a protective foam pad placed on the ground, used as protection in case of falling), low bed, frequent
checks, and room close to nursing station to increase visual checks after Resident 1 fall incidents.

Further review of the closed medical record showed Resident 1 had the 72 Hour Neuro – Checklists
(a tool that looks at how appropriately the person responds in the three key areas – eye opening,
verbal, and motor response) completed on 8/15, 8/18, 8/21, and 8/28/23.
Review of Resident 1's care plan problem addressing Risk for Falls related to actual falls initiated on
8/15/23, showed Resident 1 had fallen on 8/18, 8/21, and 8/30/23. However, Resident 1's plan of care failed
to show Resident 1's fall incident on 8/28/23.
Further review of the closed medical record failed to show any care plan problem addressing Resident 1
not calling for assistance and any documented evidence the staff had revised the plan of care to address
the resident's fall incidents.
On 9/1/23 at 1431 hours, a concurrent interview and closed record review was conducted with LVN 1. LVN
1 stated Resident 1 had multiple falls at the facility. LVN 1 further stated the care plans wererevised for
every fall incident. LVN 1 verified and acknowledged the above findings.
On 9/1/23 at 1633 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON was informed and
acknowledged the above findings. The DON further stated the care plans should have been revised to
reflect the resident's careneeds and necessary fall preventive interventions.
