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 observation, interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) reviewed for falls was accurately assessed for the risk for falls. * Residents 1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE], showed multiple inaccurate entries, which resulted for the resident to have a lower score for a fall risk. This failure had the potential for the resident to experience adverse events related to falls.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing revised 10/2024 showed the staff will identify specific risks and causes to try and prevent falls. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 10/28/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was discharged to home on 6/28/25. Further review of Resident 1's closed medical record showed the resident had an unwitnessed fall on 6/2/25, at 2310 hours. Review of Resident 1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] at 0441 hours, showed multiple inaccurate entries for Resident 1 including no falls for the resident when the resident had two falls in the past three weeks. Resident 1 had a fall in the facility on 6/2/25 at 2310 hours; and one on 5/11/25, in the community, which resulted in severe injury and subsequent hospitalization and transfer to the facility.

LVN 3 verified Resident 1's Fall Risk Assessment had multiple inaccuracies, which included the number of falls and the medications Resident 1 was taking.

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **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 the resident's medical record was complete and accurate for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). * Resident 1's 72 Hour Neuro Check - List had incorrect time intervals between the one hour and two hour neuro check section, which resulted in all subsequent time entries to be delayed by one hour. This failure posed the risk for the resident's care needs not being met as his medical record information was inaccurate.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Neuro Assessment revised 10/2024 showed neuro assessments will be conducted after any unwitnessed fall. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 10/28/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and was discharged to home on 6/28/25. Review of Resident 1's 72 Hour Neuro Check - List dated 6/2/25, at 2310 hours showed Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall. Review of Resident 1's 72 Hour Neuro Check - List dated 6/3/25, showed the time entries for the required time intervals for neuro checks for Resident 1. The interval between the three one-hour required neuro checks showed time entries of 0140, 0240, and 0340 hours. The neuro check time intervals then changed to every two hours and the next time interval for the neuro check would have been at 0540 hours. The time interval on the neuro check sheet showed an entry at 0640 hours, which was an incorrect time interval by one hour. On 10/29/25 at 0640 hours, an interview and concurrent closed medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with LVN 3. LVN 3 verified Resident 1's 72 Hour Neuro Check - List entry was inaccurate.
