Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
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 follow its policy and procedure (P&P) titled
Charting and Documentation in accordance with professional standards of practice for one of five sampled
residents (Resident 1), when the facility staff did not complete documentation of Resident 1's fall or
possible injuries and did not follow up with cervical (neck) x-ray results for three weeks following Resident
1's fall on 7/25/25.This failure resulted in delay in assessment and treatment for Resident 1 due to a
potential injury following the fall on 7/25/25.During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR- a
summary of information regarding a resident which includes patient identification, past medical history,
insurance status, care providers, family contact information and other pertinent information), the AR
indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis for fusion of spine cervical region
(surgical procedure that joins two or more bones in the neck to create a stable structure), functional
quadriplegia (not able to move all four limbs but no damage to the brain or spinal cord), inflammatory
spondylopathy (disease that causes pain, stiffness and inflammation to areas that attach to bones), chronic
pain syndrome, spinal stenosis cervical region (condition in which the spinal canal puts pressure on the
spinal cord and nerves).During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment
tool used to identify cognitive (mental processes) and physical functional level assessment] dated 6/17/25,
the MDS indicated, Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS screening tool used to assess
resident cognitive level) score was 15 out of 15 (0 - 7 indicated severe cognitive impairment [memory loss,
poor decision making skills] 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, (13 -15) cognitively intact) which indicated
Resident 1 was cognitively intact.During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/15/25 at 11:03 a.m.
with Resident 1, Resident 1 was observed sitting up in wheelchair and appeared to limit movements with
arms and neck. Resident 1 stated that on 7/25/254, staff were wheeling him out to the courtyard using the
backdoor. Resident 1 stated that for the wheelchair to go through the door, the staff member had to tilt the
chair backwards. Resident 1 stated he fell backwards instantly when the chair was tilted. Resident 1 stated
he felt as if he had fallen forcefully onto the ground because he hit the back of his head and neck on the
floor. Resident 1 stated the staff assisted him off the floor and offered to transfer him to the acute care
hospital, but Resident 1 stated he refused. Resident 1 stated the pain was lingering following the fall but
was informed by the facility staff that the x-rays taken were negative for injury or fracture. Resident 1 stated
the pain did not go away due to a previous medical procedure but stated the pain had been felt at all times
since the fall.During a review of Resident1's, Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident environment remained free
from accident hazards and that residents received assistance devices to prevent accidents for one of seven
sampled residents (Resident 1) when nursing staff were aware Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)s used a
regular wheelchair to transport Resident 1 over an elevated threshold (a strip of wood, metal, or stone
forming the bottom of a doorway) to the smoking area, CNA 5 wheeled Resident 1's wheelchair pulling him
backwards in order to get Resident 1 over the threshold and tilted, causing Resident 1 to fall back. Nursing
staff did not evaluate the hazardous nature of the path of travel or the unsafe technique to tilt the
wheelchair. Nursing staff did not consider a physical therapy evaluation for a new wheelchair with anti-tilt
bars.These failures resulted in the unsafe practice of transporting Resident 1 which caused an avoidable
accident on 7/25/25, Resident 1 struck the back of his head onto the concrete floor, suffering avoidable pain
and injury to his neck.During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR- a summary of information
regarding a resident which includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care
providers, family contact information and other pertinent information), the AR indicated, Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis for fusion of spine cervical region (surgical procedure that
joins two or more bones in the neck to create a stable structure), functional quadriplegia (not able to move
all four limbs but no damage to the brain or spinal cord), inflammatory spondylopathy (disease that causes
pain, stiffness and inflammation to areas that attach to bones), chronic pain syndrome, spinal stenosis
cervical region (condition in which the spinal canal puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves).During a
review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment tool used to identify cognitive

not to tilt the wheelchairs. The ADM stated he was unaware if Resident 1's path to go outside had not been
assessed for safety.During an interview on 9/12/25 at 11:17 a.m. with the DOR, the DOR stated that
Resident 1's path was not assessed prior to the fall on 7/25/25 because it was a supervised path with staff
having to push Resident 1 outside. The DOR stated, it was Resident 1's preference to utilize the fire escape
door to enter and exit the facility when attending his smoke breaks. The DOR stated it was the staff taking
Resident 1 outside, decision to determine if the wheelchair needed to be tilted or if they

needed to pull Resident 1 backwards to get through the door. The DOR stated the fire escape door that
Resident 1 was using, was not meant for daily access therefore it was not equipped to get Resident 1
outside safely. The DOR stated that ultimately if the staff member determined the safest way to get
Resident 1 outside was to pull him backwards and tilt the wheelchair to keep him from falling, then that was
the best way.During an interview on 9/12/25 at 11:23 a.m. with LVN 2, LVN 2 stated Resident 1 was being
assisted outside by the staff on 7/25/25. LVN 2 stated the CNA 5 was pulling Resident 1 backwards going
outside, once the threshold was passed, the concrete was slanted down. LVN 2 stated Resident 1's
wheelchair wasn't tilted by the CNA 5 at the time of fall but rather the wheelchair tilted backwards during the
path outside. LVN 2 stated the CNAs, and all staff members knew not to pull any residents into the facility
backwards as LVN 2 had repeatedly informed the facility staff regarding this practice. LVN 2 stated Resident
1 had used that door every time he went outside and was not informed by anyone in the facility that the fire
escape door could not be used.During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/12/25 at 12:07 p.m. with
Resident 1, Resident 1's wheelchair located in Resident 1's room was observed, the wheelchair appeared
new with anti-tilt bars located on the back of the wheelchair next to the wheels. Resident 1 stated staff
would use the fire escape door before and at the time of the fall to take him outside for smoking breaks
because it was wider and could fit his wheelchair without risk of injury. Resident 1 stated he was not pulled
backwards all the time it was certain staff that would do that. Resident 1 stated he had requested a new
wheelchair because the wheelchair that was given to him was not safe and would sometimes tilt, which he
informed the facility staff of the issues. Resident 1 stated since the wheelchair was already tilting on its
own, when the staff member took him outside on 7/25/25, the concrete going downhill caused the
wheelchair to completely hit the ground backwards. Resident 1 stated the motion of pulling the wheelchair
backwards could have caused the wheelchair to tilt backwards.During an interview on 9/12/25 at 1:20 p.m.
with the minimum data set nurse (MDS), the MDS nurse stated Resident 1 had used the fire escape door
when he was given a bigger wheelchair. The MDS nurse stated the facility made an exception to allow
Resident 1 to use the fire escape door because it was a wider door for the wheelchair being used at the
time of admission. The MDS nurse stated after Resident 1 received a new manual wheelchair that would fit
through the designated resident door leading outside, Resident 1 continued to use the fire escape door.
The MDS nurse stated the path leading outside was never assessed for safety.During an interview on
9/16/25 at 1:32 p.m. with the DON, the DON stated on 7/25/25 Resident 1 was being wheeled out by CNA
5 when he fell. The DON stated CNA 5 lost control of the wheelchair causing Resident 1 to fall going
through the fire escape door. The DON stated the wheelchair itself was safer going backwards due to the
risk of Resident 1's wheelchair bumping the threshold that would have caused him to go forward. The DON
stated it was safer to use the designated resident door that all residents in the facility used because it had
rails and the concrete wasn't made to go downward.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure
(P&P) titled, Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, undated, the P&P indicated, . Based on previous evaluations
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. a fall is defined as
unintentionally coming to rest on the ground, floor or other lower level.During a review of the facility's P&P
titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, dated 7/2017, the P&P indicated, . Our facility strives to make
the environment as free from accident hazards as possible. Resident safety and supervision and assistance
to prevent accidents are facility-wide priorities. Employees shall be trained on potential accident hazards
and demonstrate competency on how to identify and report accident hazards and try to

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure pain management was provided to
residents for one of five sampled residents, (Resident 1), when Resident 1 suffered a head and neck injury
on 7/25/25, nursing staff did not assess Resident 1's pain, administer medications to effectively address the
pain in accordance with professional standards of practice and the facility's policy and procedure Pain
Management. On 7/25/25, staff tilted Resident 1's wheelchair backward in order to transport Resident 1 to
the smoking area and Resident 1 fell backward, striking his head onto the concrete ground. Afterwards,
Resident 1 complained of head and neck pain that radiated to the right side and nurses did not effectively
treat the pain.These failures resulted in Resident 1 feeling unheard of, experiencing avoidable uncontrolled
and unmanaged pain due to delay in assessment and treatment following the fall on 7/25/25.During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR- a summary of information regarding a resident which
includes patient identification, past medical history, insurance status, care providers, family contact
information and other pertinent information), the AR indicated, Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with diagnosis for fusion of spine cervical region (surgical procedure that joins two or more bones in
the neck to create a stable structure), functional quadriplegia (not able to move all four limbs but no
damage to the brain or spinal cord), inflammatory spondylopathy (disease that causes pain, stiffness and
inflammation to areas that attach to bones), chronic pain syndrome, spinal stenosis cervical region
(condition in which the spinal canal puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves).During a review of
Resident 1's Minimum Data Set [MDS a resident assessment tool used to identify cognitive (mental
processes) and physical functional level assessment] dated 6/17/25, the MDS indicated, Resident 1's Brief
Interview for Mental Status [BIMS screening tool used to assess resident cognitive (understanding through
thought, experience and senses) level] score was 15 out of 15 (0 - 7 indicated severe cognitive impairment
[memory loss, poor decision making skills] 8-12 moderate cognitive impairment, (13 -15) cognitively intact)
which indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact.During a concurrent observation and interview on 8/15/25
at 11:03 a.m. with Resident 1 in Resident 1's room, Resident 1 was observed sitting up in wheelchair and
observed to limit movements with arms and neck. Resident 1 stated on 7/25/25, staff were wheeling him
out to the courtyard using the back door. Resident 1 stated for the wheelchair to go through the door, the
staff member had to tilt the chair backwards. Resident 1 stated he fell backwards instantly when the chair
was tilted. Resident 1 stated he felt as if he had fallen forcefully onto the ground because he hit the back of
his head and neck on the floor. Resident 1 stated the staff assisted him off the floor and offered to transfer
him to the acute care hospital, but Resident 1 stated he refused. Resident 1 stated the pain was lingering
following the fall but was informed by the facility staff that the x-rays taken were negative for injury or
fracture (break in a bone). Resident 1 stated that prior to the fall, he had preexisting pain due to a previous
medical procedure but stated since the fall the pain had increased and was now consistent to the neck area
and back.During a review of Resident 1's, Progress Note, dated 7/25/25 10:25 a.m., the note indicated, .

reviewing the x-ray results in the electronic medical record (EMR), there was no indication that the facility
staff followed up with obtaining the results for the cervical x-ray. LVN 1 stated it was important to follow up
with reports and complete all documentation to ensure there was no delayed trauma, to address all aspects
of the situation, to find a root cause and to properly address any injury. LVN 1 stated the lack of follow up

care professionals and the resident and/or the resident's representative will develop, implement, monitor
and revise as necessary interventions to prevent or manage each individual resident's pain. The
interdisciplinary team and the resident and/or the resident's representative will collaborate to arrive at
pertinent, realistic and measurable goals for treatment. The interdisciplinary team is responsible for
developing a pain management regimen that is specific to each resident who has pain or who has the
potential for pain. Reassess and adjust the medication dose to optimize the resident's pain relief while
monitoring the effectiveness of the medication and work to minimize or manage side effects. Facility staff
will notify the practitioner, if the resident's pain is not controlled by the current treatment regimen. If
re-assessment findings indicate pain is not adequately controlled, the pain management regimen and plan
of care will be revised as indicated. If a resident reports or there are signs of increased pain, the facility
should evaluate whether there is a time or day pattern to ensure that the problem is not due to drug
diversion .
