F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm An IDT note dated 9/6/24 at 9:50 am, indicated on 9/5/24 at 8:45 am Resident 1's roommate shouted for help. A CNA went into the room and found Resident 1 on the floor. Resident 1 was lying on her back on the floor next to her bed. IDT recommended interventions to prevent further falls were Continue current plan of care. Residents Affected - Few An IDT note dated 9/13/24 at 8:19 am, indicated Resident 1's roommate shouted for help on 9/13/24 at 6:10 am. Resident 1 was found lying on her stomach with her face against the oxygen concentrator (a machine used to provide supplemental oxygen from the environment) with blood on the floor. Resident 1 had a 1 cm by 0.3 cm laceration with bruising to the bridge of her nose, a 1 cm by 0.2 cm laceration to the left cheek, a raised lump to the left temporal region, bruising to the left eye and a chipped front tooth. IDT recommended interventions to prevent further falls were therapy to do a post-fall evaluation, physician to reevaluate Resident 1's medications, and keep the television on for a diversion. During an interview on 9/19/24 at 1:15 pm, Resident 2 stated she witnessed Resident 1 fall on 9/13/24. Resident 1 got out of bed and fell to the floor. Resident 1's head and nose were bleeding and there was too much blood on the floor. Resident 2 stated that she frequently takes care of Resident 1 because the staff don't watch her. Resident 2 stated, There was nobody on the floor (unit). I had to look around for someone to tell that she fell. During an interview on 9/19/24 at 1:18 pm, CNA A stated [Resident 1] gets up out of nowhere. We try to supervise her as much as possible, but she is unpredictable. [Resident 1] has had numerous falls. Anytime [Resident 1] would start to dangle her feet off the side of the bed, [Resident 2] would alert us. During an interview on 9/19/24 at 1:20 pm, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) B stated that Resident 2 would alert staff if she thought Resident 1 was going to fall. During an interview on 9/19/24 at 1:47 pm, family member (Fam) C stated [Resident] 1 has had many, many falls, they don't supervise her She had repeated falls and got a massive brain bleed from one of them. Recently she fell and hit her face. They didn't tell me her face and nose were bruised I told [the facility] if you don't want her to fall the only way to stop it is to get a sitter (one-on-one supervision). The Social Services Director told me I was free to hire a sitter. The clinic that [Resident 1] goes to for Huntington's disease offered to come to the facility to help give them recommendations to stop these falls, but the facility didn't take them up on the offer. During an interview on 9/26/24 at 12:30pm, the Huntington's disease clinic Social Worker (SW) stated it is usual for Huntington's disease patients to have falls, but there are ways we know to mitigate that. SW stated that her concern was the number of falls that were unobserved. SW stated that showed that Resident 1 needed more supervision. SW stated that the facility kept changing Resident 1's care plan and then changing it back without evaluating the effectiveness of what they were doing. Every fall seemed to be met with a medication review. Resident 1 should have been moved to a room within eyesight of staff at all times due to her uncontrolled movements and urge to get up. Resident 1 should have had a scheduled toileting program (help the resident ambulate to the bathroom every three to four hours, or according to the individualized program) so she didn't fall in the morning, for instance. SW stated that she tried to give the facility advice and offered to come there in person to do an in-service for free, but the facility never followed through. During an interview on 9/19/24 at 2:30 pm, the Social Services Director (SSD) reviewed Resident 1's (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555682 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 5 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555682 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few care plan. SSD confirmed that the current interventions were not enough. SSD stated that she was trying to get the family to help get a sitter. The CNAs can't help her, they have to go to other rooms. It seems to be a financial issue that we don't hire sitters. During an interview on 9/19/24 at 2:15 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed Resident 1's care plans. DON stated We don't have one-on-one sitters in this building We don't have the staff to do that. DON stated Resident 1 was not appropriate for the facility due to her need for supervision. During an email conversation on 10/10/24, at 11:19 am the administrator stated We will hire a specific position for a sitter for residents like this. We've also assigned an extra CNA to that resident hall to make sure we have an extra set of eyes. At 12:03 pm, the administrator stated, The one-on-one sitter was a suggestion from rehab, and we discussed in IDT we wouldn't be able to provide a sitter 24/7.
