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 each resident received adequate
supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for
accidents.
CNA A failed to get assistance from another staff member when providing Resident #1, who required two
staff for assistance with all ADLs, a bed bath on 12/05/24. During the bed bath, CNA A asked Resident #1
to turn to her side. When the resident turned she fell to the floor, which resulted in the resident sustaining a
fracture of her right femur (thigh bone).
The noncompliance was identified as past noncompliance. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 12/05/24
and ended on 12/05/24. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
This failure could place residents at risk for serious injury or harm, decline in health, and decreased quality
of life.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included hypertension (high blood pressure),
seizure disorder, cellulitis of right lower limb (bacterial infection that affects the skin and underlying tissue),
fibromyalgia (chronic condition that causes widespread pain and tenderness in the body), and muscle
wasting. The resident had a BIMS score of 9 which indicated her cognition was moderately impaired. The
MDS further reflected Resident #1 was dependent for shower/bathing which indicated the helper did all the
effort or the assistance of two or more helpers was required for the resident to complete the activity.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan revised on 12/16/24 reflected the resident had an ADL self-care
performance deficit. Interventions included the resident required the assistance of two staff for bathing and
bed mobility.
Record review of Resident #1's bathing status in the [NAME] system (documentation system used by
reference key resident information for their nursing care plan) printed on 01/13/25 reflected the resident
required the assistance of two staff members.
Record review of the facility's Provider Investigation Report dated 12/05/24 reflected the following:

resident was alert and oriented and able to recall the incident when she fell during care. The resident said
CNA A was giving her a bed bath, and the aide asked her to turn to her side. The resident said she was
turning over onto her side as she was holding on the repositioning bar and fell on the floor. She said CNA A
was usually able to catch her when she rolled over, but this time she was not able to. Resident #1 said she
was sent to the hospital and had surgery on her leg, as she pointed to her right leg. Resident #1 stated
CNA A usually bathed her alone and never had a helper. The resident stated she preferred two people
because she felt safer. Resident #1 said she was not experiencing much pain from her fracture but had
discomfort due to the cellulitis in her legs.

the resident to turn to her side. She stated the resident grabbed the repositioning bar on the bed, threw her
leg over her left leg and that was when the resident fell over on to the floor. CNA A stated she then called
for the nurse to assist, and the resident was assessed. CNA A stated Resident #1 was on an air mattress,
and it was inflating at the time the resident was turning to her side. CNA A said she was aware Resident #1
required two staff for care, but she was not able to find someone to help her. CNA A said she asked another
CNA, whose name she could recall, for help. She stated she did not get any help, so she bathed the
resident alone. She stated she had bathed the resident alone in the past. The CNA said she felt safe
bathing the resident alone because the resident was able to help turn in bed.
Interview on 01/13/25 at 1:23 PM with LVN B revealed she was called by CNA A to Resident #1's room and
noticed the resident was on the floor. CNA A told her the resident was trying to turn in bed during a bed
bath, and the resident fell. LVN B said during Resident #1's assessment, the resident was complaining of
pain and noticed the resident's toes were bleeding and other areas of her body such as her side, so she
was transferred to the hospital via EMS. LVN B stated Resident #1 required two staff member for care
because she was a bariatric resident and for safety. The LVN said she did not know CNA A was caring for
Resident #1 alone, and she did not recall the aide asking anyone for help during the bed bath. LVN B
further stated the aides could look in the [NAME] system to verify if a resident required one or two staff
members during care or ask a charge nurse.
Interview on 01/08/25 at 1:28 PM with CNA D revealed she had worked at the facility for about a year and
cared for Resident #1. CNA D said Resident #1 was bed bound per choice and required two staff members

Interview on 01/08/25 at 2:07 PM with CNA E revealed she worked with Resident #1 and the resident was
bed bound. CNA E said the resident required two staff members for all care including bed baths because
she was bariatric and needed more support. CNA E further stated Resident #1 had never been a
one-person care resident.
Interview on 01/08/25 at 2:39 PM with RN F revealed Resident #1 was bed bound and required two staff
members for all care including bed baths because the resident was bariatric and one staff member could
not adequately care or clean the resident up during ADL care.
Interview on 01/08/25 at 2:29 PM the ADON revealed Resident #1 was bed bound and rarely got out of
bed. She said the resident was a two-person assist for all care at all times because she was on an air
mattress and could easily roll out of bed and for overall safety. The ADON was made aware CNA A had
bathed Resident #1 alone, but the aide was not able to explain why she had not requested for help but only
stated she had not seen anyone else. The ADON stated it appeared to her that CNA A had not looked for
anyone to help her with the resident. The ADON further stated they immediately began to re-in-service
(training) for all nursing staff re-educating them on the importance of using two staff member if the resident
required it. They also identified all the residents that required two staff members for care they were
monitoring and making observations to ensure two staff were assisting when needed. The monitoring
began after the incident with Resident #1 and would be on-going for six weeks to ensure safety.
Interview on 01/13/25 at 8:36 AM with the DON revealed she was told Resident #1 was getting a bed bath
by CNA A and while the resident was turning to her left side with the assistance of the repositioning rail,
Resident threw her leg over too far and continued to roll until she fell out of the bed. Resident #1 was
assessed, and they noticed she had bruising to the top of her feet and was complaining of pain throughout
her body but mostly to her right knee. The resident was transferred to the hospital where she was
diagnosed with a right leg fracture. The DON said Resident #1 required two staff members for care due to
being a bariatric resident and for safety. The DON stated CNA A admitted knowing Resident #1 required
two staff members for care, but the aide told them she had not been able to find assistance but if she would
asked her (DON) she would have assisted. The DON also said if aides did not know if a resident was a one
or two person for care, they could look in their [NAME] computer system. After the incident, CNA A was
suspended pending their investigation and had a 1:1 counseling and re-in-service (training) on resident
care and the aide was pulled from working with Resident #1. The other nursing staff were re-educated on
using the [NAME] computer system to ensure a resident required a one- or two-person assistance during
care. The DON further stated they had identified all the residents that required two people and were going
to monitor but watching care for those resident for 6 weeks.
Record review of the facility's Safe Patient Handling policy revised December 2005 reflected the following:
The facility has a program to promote and assure safe patient handling for both the resident and the
employee. The policy includes identification, assessment and interventions to provide a comfortable, safer
transfer, repositioning and resident movement.
