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 ensure an environment free of accident
hazards was provided, when the bed alarm was not implemented for one of five residents reviewed for falls
(Resident 1). In addition, Resident 1's fall risk assessment was not updated to reflect newly identified fall
risks discussed during the interdisciplinary team (IDT - a group of healthcare professionals who work
together for the common goal of the resident) meeting. These failures had the potential to result in further
falls and injuries for Resident 1.

Further review of Resident 1's medical record indicated there was no updated post fall evaluation for
Resident 1.
On January 28, 2025, at 1:13 p.m. an interview was conducted with the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).
The CNA stated Resident 1 did not have a bed alarm in use and that she was not informed by nursing staff
that a bed alarm should be in place for Resident 1.
On January 28, 2025, at 2:12 p.m., a concurrent interview and record review were conducted with the
Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN). The RN stated during the resident's IDT meeting, the team determined
that Resident 1 should have a bed alarm and that an update to the post fall evaluation should be
completed. The RN further stated Resident 1's care plan should have been implemented after January 20,
2025, as part of a fall prevention intervention. The RN stated, interventions outlined in care plans should be
carried out and that post-fall interventions should be updated to reflect the current fall risks of residents at
risk for falls. The RN stated, an update to Resident 1's fall risk assessment was not conducted. The RN also
stated, the bed alarm should have been placed, and an updated fall prevention evaluation should have
been completed to mitigate further fall risks for Resident 1.
On January 28, 2025, at 3:33 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The
DON stated Resident 1 had one fall in the facility and that during the IDT meeting on January 20, 2025, it
was determined that Resident 1 would benefit from having a bed alarm and that an updated post fall
evaluation should be conducted. The DON stated a few days after the meeting, the care team determined
that Resident 1 no longer needed the bed alarm and that the care plan should have been updated to reflect
this change. The DON stated it was facility policy to update the fall evaluation after a resident experiences a
fall to determine current fall risks and needs. The DON stated an updated post-fall evaluation was not
conducted for Resident 1 and stated that it should have been completed to provide the most up-to-date and
accurate assessment of fall risks, ensuring appropriate interventions to prevent further falls.
The facility policy and procedure titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, dated 2001, indicated,
.individualized, resident-centered approach to safety .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 .implementing
interventions to reduce accident risks and hazards shall including the following .communicating specific
interventions to all relevant staff .assigning responsibility for carrying out interventions .ensuring that
interventions are implemented; and documenting interventions .falls .
The facility policy and procedure titled, Falls-Clinical Protocol, dated 2001, indicated, .the staff .will continue
to collect and evaluate information until either the cause of the falling is identified, or it is determined that
the cause cannot be found or is not correctable .the staff .will identify pertinent interventions to try to
prevent subsequent falls and to address the risks of clinically significant consequences of falling .
