Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to perform an accurate fall assessment for one of 17 residents
(Resident 49) after a fall.
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to result in Resident 49 to have recurrent falls and could have lead
to improper care planning.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 49's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 49 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnosis of lack of coordination and muscle weakness.
During a review of Resident 49's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/24/2024, H&P indicated Resident
49 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 49's Care Plan titled Resident is high fall risk and risk for injury dated
12/31/2024, the care plan interventions indicated to follow facility fall protocol.
During a review of Resident 49's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 2/25/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 49 was able to understand and be understood by others. The MDS indicated
Resident 49 required set up for eating and moderate assistance with oral hygiene. The MDS indicated
Resident 49 required maximal assistance with toileting hygiene, showering/bathing, dressing, putting on
and taking off footwear, and personal hygiene.
During a review of Resident 49's Fall Risk Evaluation dated 3/21/2025 at 10:55 p.m., the Evaluation did not
indicate Resident 49's fall on 3/21/2025. The Evaluation did not include Resident 49's level of
consciousness, gait (manner of walking) and/or balance, and medications. The evaluation did not indicate a
fall risk score.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/23/2025 at 10:43 a.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated the Fall Risk Evaluation was not done properly and did not indicate Resident 49's
fall on 3/21/2025, level of consciousness, gait and/or balance, and medications. The DON stated that not
having a complete and correct assessment could lead to improper care planning and interventions for
Resident 49. The DON stated it could also lead to a recurrent fall and the nurse should have completed the
assessment completely to have a correct fall score and to determine the resident's risk of falling.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a care plan for three of four
sampled residents (Resident 43 and Resident 44 and Resident 12) by failing to:
1. Develop a care plan for Resident 43's Restorative Nursing Assistance (RNA) services.
2. Develop a care plan for the use Resident 44's antipsychotic (class of medications used to treat mental
illness) medication Risperdal (type of antipsychotic medication that treats mental health conditions such as
schizophrenia [a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought] and bipolar disorder
[sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to
elevated periods of emotional highs]).
3. Implement a care plan addressing Resident 12's fingernails.
These deficient practices had a potential to result in inconsistent implementation of the care plan that may
place Resident 43, Resident 44, and Resident 12 at risk of inadequate health care.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 43's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 43 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction
(blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to damage or death of brain tissue), hemiplegia and
hemiparesis (hemiplegia refers to complete paralysis on one side of the body, while hemiparesis describes
a more mild weakness or partial paralysis on one side), and quadriplegia unspecified (partial or complete
loss of motor function in all four limbs).
During a review of Resident 43's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/1/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
43 does not have the mental capacity to understand and make medical decisions.
During a review of residents 43's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a mandated resident assessment tool), dated
12/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 43 had cognitive impairment (ability to think and reason). The
MDS indicated Resident 43 was dependent with activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such
as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves), transfer (moving
between surfaces to and from bed, chair, and wheelchair), and bed mobility (how resident moves from lying
to turning side to side).
During a review of Resident 43's physicians orders dated 9/30/2024, the physicians orders indicated an
order for Restorative Nurse Assistance (RNA) program for passive range of motion (PROM, the movement
of a joint by an external force, such as a therapist or a machine, without the patient's active muscle
contraction) to the bilateral (pertaining to both sides) lower extremities (BLE) and bilateral upper extremities
(BUE) daily, 5 times a week, as tolerated.
During an interview on 3/23/2025 at 3:00 p.m. with Registered Nurses (RN) 1, RN 1 stated the care plan
was the care nurses must provide to residents. RN 1 stated the care plan was personalized and based on
the residents condition. RN 1 stated residents in the RNA program would need to have an RNA care plan.
RN 1 stated the care plan would include a goal and interventions for Resident 43. RN 1

repositioning, dated 3/18/2025, the care plan interventions included monitoring the resident for any signs of
discomfort, entrapment, or injury and to regularly check bed rails during ADL care.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/22/2025 at 1:44 p.m. with RN 1, Resident 7's bed rail
assessment, dated 3/4/2025 was reviewed. RN 1 stated the side rail recommendation was for bilateral side
rails and side rails were indicated and served as an enabler to promote independence. RN 1 stated side
rails were recommended since 3/4/2025 and there was supposed to be side rails at the time of Resident 7's
fall on 3/15/2025.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/23/2025 at 2:04 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 7's care plan dated 3/4/2025 and 3/18/2025 was reviewed. The DON stated Resident 7's
family requested to have side rails for fall precautions and as an enabler because Resident 7 was legally
blind and the side rails were for the resident to hold on to when staff provided care. The DON stated there
should have been side rails since 3/4/2025 because the bed rail assessment indicated Resident 7 needed
side rails. The DON stated Resident 7 did not have side rails at the time of her fall on 3/15/2025. The DON
stated the bed rail assessment was created on 3/4/2025 but the bed rail care plan was created on
3/18/2025. The DON stated the care plan should have been done at the time of the assessment and the
bed rail care plan was late and so the problem was not addressed and the interventions were not in place.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care
Planning, dated 8/24/2023, the P&P indicated additional changes or updates to the resident's

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of seven residents (Resident 43
and Resident 44), with limited range of motion (ROM, the extent of movement of a joint), received
restorative nursing program (designed to improve or maintain the functional ability of residents) care five
times a week daily as indicated in the physician order.
This deficient practice had the potential to place Residents 43 and 44 at increased risk for ROM decline.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 43's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 43 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction
(blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to damage or death of brain tissue), hemiplegia and
hemiparesis (hemiplegia refers to complete paralysis on one side of the body, while hemiparesis describes
a more mild weakness or partial paralysis on one side), and quadriplegia unspecified (partial or complete
loss of motor function in all four limbs).
During a review of Resident 43's History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/1/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
43 does not have the mental capacity to understand and make medical decisions.
During a review of residents 43's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a mandated resident assessment tool), dated
12/17/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 43 had cognitive impairments (ability to think and reason). The
MDS indicated Resident 43 was dependent with activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such
as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves), transfer (moving
between surfaces to and from bed, chair, and wheelchair), and bed mobility (how resident moves from lying
to turning side to side).
During a review of Resident 43's physicians orders dated 9/30/2024, the physicians orders indicated for
Restorative Nurses Assistance (RNA) program for passive range of motion (PROM, the movement of a joint
by an external force, such as a therapist or a machine, without the patient's active muscle) to the bilateral
(pertaining to both sides) lower extremities (BLE) and bilateral upper extremities (BUE) daily 5 times a
week as tolerated.
During a review of Resident 43's Nursing Rehab/Restorative report dated 2/2025, the report indicated
Resident 43 did not receive RNA services on 2/3/2025, 2/4/2025, 2/12/2025, 2/14/2025, 2/17/2025,
2/21/2025, 2/25/2025, 2/26/2025, 2/27/2025, and 2/28/2025
During a review of Resident 43's Nursing Rehab/Restorative report dated 3/2025, the report indicated
Resident 43 did not receive RNA services on 3/3/2025, 3/6/2025, and 3/11/2025,
During a review of Resident 43's Weekly Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, group of different disciplines working
together towards a common goal of a resident) progress notes - Restorative Nursing, the progress notes
indicated there was no weekly progress notes for the weeks ending 3/7/2025, 3/14/2025 and 3/21/2025.

prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide side rails as ordered for one of 30 sampled
residents (Resident 7).
This deficient practice caused Resident 7 to fall and had the potential to cause Resident 7 to have injuries
from the fall.
Findings
During a review of Resident 7's admission Record, dated 3/23/2025, the admission Record indicated
Resident 7 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnosis
including muscle weakness (decreased strength in the muscles), glaucoma (an eye disease that gradually
damages the optic nerve and can lead to blindness), and legal blindness (a significant level of vision loss).
During a review of Resident 7's History and Physical (H&P), dated 3/6/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 7
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 7's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a mandated resident assessment tool), the MDS

hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 7 was dependent on staff for sitting to standing and for chair to bed
transfer. The MDS indicated Resident 7 required substantial assistance from staff for rolling left and right,
sitting to lying, and lying to sitting on the side of the bed.
During a review of Resident 7's order summary report, dated 2/26/2025, the report indicated bedside
railings (1/2) applied to the bed due to poor bed mobility and poor trunk control.
During a review of Resident 7's bed rail assessment, dated 3/4/2025, the assessment indicated bilateral
side rails were recommended. The assessment indicated the side rails were indicated and served as an
enabler to promote independence.
During a review of Resident 7's care plan titled, The resident has high risk for falls, dated 3/4/2025, the care
plan interventions indicated the resident needed a safe environment.
During a review of Resident 7's Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR)

1 saw Resident 7 sitting on the floor. RN 1 stated Resident 7 was sitting on the floor and she did not have
side rails in place. RN 1 stated Resident 7 did not have side rails until 3/17/2025.
Residents Affected - Few
During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/22/2025 at 1:44 p.m. with RN 1, Resident 7's bed rail
assessment, dated 3/4/2025 was reviewed. RN 1 stated the side rail recommendation was for bilateral side
rails to serve as an enabler to promote independence. RN 1 stated side rails were recommended since
3/4/2025 and there was supposed to be side rails at the time of Resident 7's fall on 3/15/2025.
During an interview on 3/23/2025 at 2:04 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident
7's family requested Resident 7 to have side rails for fall precautions and as an enabler because Resident 7
was legally blind. The DON stated the side rails were for Resident 7 to hold on to when staff provided care.
The DON stated there should have been side rails since 3/4/2025 since the bed rail assessment indicated
Resident 7 needed side rails but Resident 7 did not have side rails at the time of her fall on 3/15/2025. The
DON stated she was not sure how long Resident 7 did not have side rails. The DON stated not having the
side rails in place did not honor the family's preference and the side rails could have prevented the fall from
occurring.
During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Fall Management Program, dated
3/13/2021, the P&P indicated the purpose is to provide residents a safe environment that minimizes
complications associated with falls.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow the pureed diet (diet that
involves consuming foods that are blended, mashed, or strained to a smooth, pudding-like consistency,
making them easier to swallow for individuals with chewing or swallowing difficulties) recipe during
breakfast by serving liquid consistency French toast.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in inadequate nutrition status and placed the residents at a
high risk of choking (person can not breath due to blocked airway).
Findings:
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/22/2025 at 7:32 a.m. with [NAME] 1, [NAME] 1 was
observed plating a pureed diet, which consisted of pureed French toast and pureed eggs. The French toast
plated in a cup was liquidly. [NAME] 1 stated the plate was a pureed diet and the bread should have more
consistency and not be as watery. [NAME] 1 stated he would add more bread and blend it to make it the
