Based on interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure one of two
sampled residen (Resident 1) remained free from accident hazards.
* Resident 1 sustained 6 falls while having resided in the facility. Resident 1 sustained the falls on 9/15
(twice), 9/21, 9/26, 10/11, and 10/24/23. After Resident 1 ' s fourth fall in the facility, the facility ' s IDT
recommended and implemented the 1 to 1 staff supervision on Resident 1. However, the 1 to 1 supervision
was not always provided to Resident 1. As a result, Resident 1 sustained another fall on 10/24/23, resulting
in multiple fractured ribs which required the ORIF surgery for Resident 1 ' s right seventh through 10thribs.
Findings:
Review of the facility ' s P&P titled Falls Management Program revised 1/2019 showed the purpose of the
fall management program is to provide residents with a hazard free environment, adequate supervision and
reduce risk factors leading to falls and injury. The facility will provide residents with adequate supervision to
prevent accidents. It is also the policy of the facility to investigate the circumstances surrounding the
resident fall and implement actions to reduce the incidence of additional falls and minimize potential for
injury. The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) will reassess the risk factors contributing to falls and (implement)
interventions to minimize recurrence of falls and injury during the initial, quarterly, and annual assessment,
post fall, and when a significant change of condition is identified.
Review of the facility ' s P&P titled Safety and Supervision of Residents revised 7/2017 showed the 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. Our individualized, resident-centered
approach to safety addresses safety and accident hazards for individual residents. The interdisciplinary
care team shall analyze information obtained from assessments and observations to identify any specific
accident hazards or risks for individual residents. The care team shall target interventions to reduce
individual risks related to hazards in the environment including adequate supervision. Implementing
interventions to reduce accident risks and hazards shall include the following: communication specific
interventions to all relevant staff, assigning responsibility for carrying out interventions, and ensuring that
interventions are implemented. The type and frequency of resident supervision is determined by the
individual resident ' s assessed needs and identified hazards in the environment.

to 1 sitter at the time of her fall. RN 1 stated the 1 to 1 sitter was to provide constant supervision, always
having Resident 1 within sight of the assigned 1 to 1 staff. RN 1 stated constant supervision was provided
to Resident 1 due to Resident 1 having episodes of confusion, forgetfulness, and being a fall risk with
multiple falls in the facility. RN 1 stated if staff was not with Resident 1, Resident 1 would try to get up from

s 1 to 1 staff. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 required constant supervision, and he was required to keep
Resident 1 within his sight as Resident 1 was a fall risk and had the tendency to get up out of bed on her
own without assistance. CNA 1 stated at the time of Resident 1 ' s fall, he was also assigned to care for
other residents in addition to Resident 1. CNA 1 stated if he had to leave Resident 1 to provide care for
other residents, CNA 1 would ensure another staff member would provide 1 to 1 observation of Resident 1

supervision. The DON stated Resident 1 was to be provided constant visual 1 to 1 supervision by the
facility staff. The DON stated 1 to 1 constant supervision was implemented due to Resident 1 ' s episodes
of confusion, unsteady gait, and history of multiple falls at the facility. The DON stated Resident 1 ' s
responsible party was also informed Resident 1 was to receive constant 1 to 1 supervision by the facility
staff as per the IDT meetings on 9/27 and 10/23/23.
The DON stated the facility had conducted an investigation specific to Resident 1 ' s fall sustained on
10/24/23 at 2330 hours. The DON stated CNA 1 should not have left Resident 1 unsupervised at the time of
Resident 1 ' s fall. The DON stated her expectation was CNA 1 should have ensured another staff member
was in place to provide constant supervision of Resident 1 before CNA 1 left Resident 1 and/or when
Resident was no longer within CNA ' s sight.

for Resident 1, at the time of her fall on 10/24/23 at 2330 hours. CNA 1 stated he was assigned as Resident
1's 1 to 1 staff. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 required constant supervision, and he was required to keep
Resident 1 within his sight as Resident 1 was a fall risk and had the tendency to get up out of bed on her
own without assistance. CNA 1 stated at the time of Resident 1's fall, he was also assigned to care for other
residents in addition to Resident 1. CNA 1 stated if he had to leave Resident 1 to provide care for other
residents, CNA 1 would ensure another staff member would provide 1 to 1 observation of Resident 1 while
he provided care to other residents.
CNA 1 was asked to describe what had occurred on 10/24/23 at 2330 hours, at the time Resident 1
sustained a fall. CNA 1 stated another resident had activated a call light, at which time CNA 1 left Resident
1. CNA 1 stated he went to the nursing station, to locate another staff member who could provide 1 to 1
supervision for Resident 1, as to allow CNA 1 to answer the call light. CNA 1 stated he went into the
nursing station for approximately one minute at which time Resident 1 fell. CNA 1 stated he could not see
Resident 1 from the nursing station at the time Resident 1 fell.
On 12/5/23 at 1338 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with the
DON. The DON stated she had attended Resident 1's IDT meetings on 9/27/23 at 1326 hours, and
10/12/23 1401 hours. The DON verified the IDT recommended Resident 1 would be provided 1 to 1
supervision. The DON stated Resident 1 was to be provided constant visual 1 to 1 supervision by the
facility staff. The DON stated 1 to 1 constant supervision was implemented due to Resident 1's episodes of
confusion, unsteady gait, and history of multiple falls at the facility. The DON stated Resident 1's
responsible party was also informed Resident 1 was to receive constant 1 to 1 supervision by the facility
staff as per the IDT meetings on 9/27 and 10/23/23.
The DON stated the facility had conducted an investigation specific to Resident 1's fall sustained on
10/24/23 at 2330 hours. The DON stated CNA 1 should not have left Resident 1 unsupervised at the time of
Resident 1's fall. The DON stated her expectation was CNA 1 should have ensured another staff member
was in place to provide constant supervision of Resident 1 before CNA 1 left Resident 1 and/or when
Resident was no longer within CNA's sight.
