actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for one of three sampled residents (R3) when the interdisciplinary team (IDT)
did not develop a new intervention after R3 fell on 3/14/25.
This failure has the potential risk for R3 to sustain another fall and possible injuries.
Findings:
An unannounced visit was made on 3/26/25 to investigate a facility report of a fall R1 had on 3/14/25. Three
residents were selected who had an actual fall within 30 days. R3 was sampled for the investigation.
During a review of R3 facesheet (demographics) indicated R3 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including heart failure, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease. R3 Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated
[DATE] indicated R3 was severely cognitively impaired and had a history of two falls with injuries.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/26/25 at 1:30 pm with R3 in R3's room, R3 was sitting
in a recliner. There was a sign posted in the room indicating Call Don't Fall. R3 stated he did not recall
falling in his room.
During a concurrent interview with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and record review of R3 chart on
3/26/25 at 1:40 pm, LVN reviewed the fall risk assessment and stated the last assessment date was
3/14/25. LVN stated R3 scored 21 which indicated a high risk for falls.
During a concurrent interview with Quality Assurance Nurse (QAN) and record review of R3 chart on
3/26/25 at 1:54 pm., QAN reviewed the IDT note for the fall on 3/14/25 and care plan for falls and stated
IDT recommended to continue the plan of care for R3. QAN stated IDT did not need to develop new
interventions every time a fall happens if the current interventions were already in place. QAN reviewed the
interventions that were in documented in the current care plan for at risk for falls and stated there were no
new interventions developed after the fall on 3/14/25.
During a review of R3 post-fall nursing note dated 3/14/25, indicated R3 was found on the floor in his room.
