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
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that included measurable
objectives and time frames to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs, for 1
(Resident #1) of 3 residents reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for Resident #1 to address the
risk for falls and the fall mat.
This failure could place the residents at risk of not receiving appropriate interventions and care to meet
their current needs.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 12/14/24 reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an
original admission date of 11/15/24. Her diagnoses included: hydrocephalus (buildup of fluid in the brain
ventricles), encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), muscle wasting and atrophy, dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing), cognitive communication deficit, acquired absence of unspecified breast, and gastrostomy
status (opening in the stomach for feeding).
Record review of Resident #1's fall risk evaluation dated 11/15/24 reflected a score of 7 which indicated a
low risk.
Record review of Resident #1's initial baseline care plan dated 11/15/24 reflected Resident #1 was not at
risk for falls.
Record review of Resident #1's MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 did not have a BIMS
conducted as she was never/rarely understood. Resident #1 was total dependence for bed mobility. Falls
were not addressed on the MDS assessment.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 12/14/24 reflected risk for falls and the fall mat were not
care planned.
Interview and observation of Resident #1 on 12/14/24 at 12:00 PM revealed Resident #1 was
non-interviewable. Resident #1 had a fall mat in place on the left side of her bed.
Interview with CNA D on 12/14/24 at 12:50 PM revealed CNA D said Resident #1 had the fall mat in

place, but she was not aware if Resident #1 had any falls. CNA D said maybe the fall mat was placed just
as a precaution.
Interview with LVN B on 12/14/24 at 1:10 PM revealed LVN B said Resident #1 had not fallen during her
stay but she had a fall mat in place as a precaution.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with ADON P on 12/14/24 at 2:15 PM revealed ADON P said Resident #1 had not experienced
any falls during her stay. ADON P said she was not sure why Resident #1 had a fall mat in place.
Observation of Resident #1 on 12/18/24 at 11:20 AM revealed Resident #1 had a fall mat in place on the
left side of her bed.
Interview with MDS N on 12/18/24 at 1:10 PM revealed MDS N said Resident #1 did not trigger for risk of
falls during the initial admission assessments. MDS N said the fall risk evaluation on 11/15/24 indicated
Resident #1 was at low risk for falls. MDS N said the initial baseline care plan indicated that Resident #1
was not at risk for falls which would then not trigger the comprehensive care plan to include risk for falls.
MDS N said the assessing nurse should have indicated Resident #1 was at risk for falls on the initial
baseline care plan based on the fall risk evaluation, which would have triggered the risk for falls on the
comprehensive care plan. MDS N said if there was a fall mat placed by the nurses, then the staff should
have communicated that with the team so the care plan could be updated. MDS N said the team was not
notified that the fall mat was implemented. MDS N said the nurses implemented interventions at times
based on their nursing judgement. MDS N said she was not sure who placed the fall mat. MDS N said a fall
mat would be considered an intervention and the fall mat would need to be care planned. MDS N verified
the fall mat was not care planned for Resident #1 and a risk of falls was not care planned for Resident #1.
MDS N said it was important for the fall mat and the risk for falls to be care planned so that staff were
aware of the resident's needs, knew how to care for the resident, ensured the intervention was
implemented, and to avoid any incident.
Interview with the DON on 12/18/24 at 2:45 PM revealed the DON said Resident #1 had not experienced
any falls. The DON said Resident #1 had the fall mat placed as a precaution. The DON said it had been
brought to his attention that the care plan was not updated for Resident #1. The DON said the fall mat was
implemented as a nursing judgment and should have been communicated to the team. The DON said the
fall mat should have been care planned. The DON said Resident #1's initial fall risk assessment indicated
she was at low risk for falls so the care plan should have included the risk for falls and the interventions
which included the fall mat. The DON said although the risk was noted as low, the risk was still there and
should have been care planned. The DON said Resident #1 was not negatively impacted by not having the
risk for falls or the fall mat care planned. The DON said Resident #1 was at risk of the staff not knowing how
to care for her. The DON said it was important for the fall mat and the risk for falls to be care planned to
ensure the interventions were implemented and for the staff to know what to do for Resident #1 specific to
her needs.
