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, and record review, the facility failed to revise fall interventions to prevent repeated
falls for one of four residents (Resident 1). Resident 1 was at risk for fall.
As a result, Resident 1 suffered an unwitnessed fall on 6/07/2025 and was transferred to a general acute
care hospital (GACH - a health facility having professional responsibility and an organized medical staff that
provides 24-hour inpatient care) for further evaluation and care. The deficient practice also had the potential
for Resident 1 to sustain serious injury and death.
Findings:
During a record review, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified dementia (a condition in which a person
loses the ability to think, remember, learn, make decisions, and solve problems), displaced fracture of the
neck of the femur (thigh bone), lack of coordination, and difficulty walking.
During a record review, Resident 1's Care Plan (CP- a guideline for nurses to help them create and achieve
a solid plan of action in the treatment of a patient)) on decline functional mobility and difficulty walking was
created on 11/14/2024. The CP had a revision date of 6/06/2025. There CP goals and interventions did not
reflect Resident 1 fell again on 6/07/2025.
During a record review, Resident 1's Fall Risk Assessment (evaluates a person's likelihood of falling and
identifies factors that increase their risks) dated 2/12/2025 indicated, Resident 1's fall risk score was three
(a score of 10 or above represents high risk for falls).
During a record review, Resident1's CP on actual fall incident initiated on 2/12/2025 and revised on
6/08/2025, indicated Resident 1 had a fall on 6/07/2025. The CP goal indicated Resident 1 will not sustain
any injury from actual fall for a month. The CP interventions included to attend to Resident 1's needs
immediately, to remind the resident to use the call light (a communication device that allows patients to
request assistance from nurses or other healthcare staff), call light within reach, instruct Resident 1 to get
up slowly and sit at the edge of the bed then stand up, and all items necessary that Resident 1 needed
must be reachable. The CP goals and interventions did not reflect that Resident 1 fell again on 6/07/2025.
During a record review, Resident 1's CP on non-compliant with safety initiated on 2/18/2025. The CP goal
indicated Resident 1 will have no further fall or injury from fall daily in the next 90 days. The CP did not
reflect revised goals and interventions in how the facility would prevent repeated

patient. The report also indicated, Resident 1's account of the fall seems to change on repeat questioning.
During a record review, Resident 1's GACH's Hospital Classification Declaration, dated 6/07/2025,
indicated, Resident 1 was at high risk for additional falls due to Resident 1's age ([AGE] years old),
diagnoses including and mild dementia.
During a record review of Resident 1's Fall Risk assessment dated [DATE] indicated, Resident 1's fall risk

During an interview on 6/18/2025 at 2 PM with Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated Resident 1's
dementia is getting worse.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/23/2025 at 2:17 PM with Licensed Vocational Nurse
(LVN) 1, Resident 1's CP for actual fall incident on 6/07/2025 was reviewed. LVN 1 stated the CP did not
indicate any revisions done for the fall of 6/07/2025. LVN 1 stated, the CP does not tell me it was or wasn't
done. LVN 1 stated whenever a resident has another fall incident, LVN 1 creates a new care plan rather
than revise the initial CP to address a new/repeated fall incident. LVN 1 stated for every fall, there should be
another care plan. LVN 1 stated the initial CP interventions of placing the call light within reach and
reminding the resident not to get up without assistance were not effective regardless of how many times we
educate. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 may continue to have multiple fractures.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/23/2025 at 2:43 PM with Registered Nurse
Supervisor (RNS) 1, Resident 1's CP for actual fall incident on 6/07/2025. RNS 1 stated the interventions of
the call light being within reach and reminding the resident not to get up without assistance, were not
appropriate given Resident 1 has dementia and forgetfulness. RNS 1 stated I don't' think it's helping
[Resident 1] .if we come up with a safety .a better way for [Resident 1] .such as every now and then, visual
check. When asked if the stated interventions helped prevent Resident 1 from falling again, RNS 1 no,
because 9Resident 1] fell again. RNS 1 stated a new CP should be written for each fall incident. RNS 1
stated only the revision date of 6/07/2025 was updated in the resident's CP and that the CP's goals and
interventions were not revised to reflect Resident 1's most recent fall incident.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/23/2025 at 3:32 PM with Director of Nursing (DON),
Resident 1's CP on actual fall incident on 6/07/2025 was reviewed. DON acknowledged and stated that the
CP indicated revision date was changed, but the CP goals and interventions were not
changed/revised/updated to reflect Resident 1's most recent fall incident. DON stated that the facility
expects the licensed nurses to follow the documentation and fall P&P, the in-services on fall
risk/management. DON stated, this is what our problem is, they are not listening.
During a record review, the facility policy and procedures (P&P - policy explains the rules and presents
them in a logical framework while procedures outline the step-by-step implementation of various tasks)
titled Care Plans, Comprehensive Person-Centered reviewed date of 12/2016 indicated, Assessments of
residents are ongoing and care plans are revised as information about the residents and the residents'
condition changes.
During a record review, the facility P&P titled Dementia - Clinical Protocol reviewed date of 3/2015
indicated, The IDT (Interdisciplinary Team - a group of different healthcare professionals working together
towards a common goal for a resident) will identify and document the resident's condition and level of
support needed during care planning and review changing needs as they arise.
During a record review, the facility P&P titled Fall and Fall Risk, Managing reviewed date of 12/2007
indicated, The staff will monitor and document each resident's response to interventions intended to reduce
falling or the risks of falling. The P&P also indicated, If the resident continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the
situation and whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions.
