In a follow-up interview on 2/10/25 at 9:20 am with CNA A, she stated on average she would guess it

depended on how fast it dried outside and the weather.
During an interview on 2/10/25 at 9:50 am with the Adm revealed he was not aware that Resident #5 was
not being assisted to get out of bed because of the lack of a sling. He stated soon after the observation
yesterday another sling was found. He also had talked to the laundry person and told her if a sling were
needed, she could dry it in the dryer. The Adm stated it should not be happening that Resident #5 was told
a sling was not available to get her up. He stated all residents have the right to get out of bed when they

Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to immediately notify the resident's representative(s) when
there was a significant change in the resident's physical and psychosocial status for one (Resident #4) of
seven residents reviewed for changes in condition.
1. The facility failed to notify Resident #4's RP of Resident #4 being hit by a peer on 2/3/25.
2. The facility failed to notify Resident #4's RP of a visit to the ER after Resident #4 had a fall on 2/7/25 with
an onset of increased confusion.
These failures could put residents at risk of not having their care needs and health changes communicated
and addressed with their responsible party.
Findings included:
Review of Resident #4's undated face sheet reflected an [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease with early onset (a progressive disease that
destroys memory, thinking and behavior, interfering with daily functioning), cognitive communication deficit
(reduced ability to communicate needs), and dementia (brain impairment of at least two brain functions).
Responsible Parties are listed as Resident #4 and RP E.
Review of Resident #4's payment MDS assessment, dated 1/25/25, reflected a BIMS score of 9, indicating
moderate cognitive impairment.
Review of Resident #4's quarterly care plan, initiated 1/28/25, reflected focus areas of diet and falls.
Review of Resident #4's Progress Notes from 1/13/25 through 2/8/25, revealed there were no entry on the
notes for 2/3/25. Continued review revealed on 2/7/25 RN D documented at 11:20 pm that a weekly skin
assessment was completed. At 11:32 pm Pt sent to hospital for evaluation post unwitnessed fall, skin tear
and new onset of confusion. On 2/8/25 at 10:09am Resident #4 was noted to have returned from the ED
with orders for an antibiotic for seven days. No diagnoses or other orders were noted.
Review of an IR dated 2/7/25 included Pt found laying down on the floor in room next to wheelchair with
blood from the right wrist due to skin tear. The predisposing physiological factors included check marks
indicating confusion and impaired memory. People notified were listed as the physician, DON, and Resident
#4 herself.
During an interview on 2/9/25 at 9:54 am, Resident #4's RP E revealed they did not know that Resident #4
had been hit by another resident or that she had been sent to the ER after a fall. RP E stated although they
had not been able to be as involved in Resident #4's care, they still would like to be notified of those types
of events. RP E stated the frequency of events like this would indicate whether Resident #4 was in a safe
place and that would be something they are interested. RP E stated they had been notified of Resident #4's
admission into the facility but had not been notified since that time. RP E stated Resident #4 was not able to
make decisions on her own which was why she was on a secure unit, she no longer had safety awareness.

and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public for one (secure hall) of three halls reviewed
for physical environment.
The facility failed to ensure an exit door on the secured unit contained an alarm to alert staff if a resident
exited the door.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of injury or harm.
Findings included:
Review of the facility Midnight Census report dated 2/9/25 revealed there were 7 residents listed as residing
on the secure unit.

During an observation and interview on 2/8/25 at 12:48 pm with CNA F revealed he believed that the exit
door contained an alarm that went off when it was opened. CNA F was not certain how to turn the alarm
off. He stated he would normally ask the Administrator, who was not at the facility on that day. CNA F stated
he had not observed any residents trying to go out the door. Observation of the exit door revealed there
was a small box to the right of the door on the wall. There was no indication of the box being connected to
the door.
During an observation and interview on 2/9/25 at 9:30 am with the Adm revealed there was a problem with
one of the secure unit exit doors. He stated they were aware and had ordered an alarm for the door. He
stated there was no functioning alarm at that time. Observation of the exit door revealed when opened, it
opened to an outside fenced area. No alarm was detected or heard. The Adm confirmed the seven
residents housed on the secure unit were there for their safety has they had a history of UDs or attempts .
He stated he was not aware of any attempts of UD since those residents were admitted to the newly
opened secure unit a little over a month ago. The Adm stated there was always a staff member on the unit,
making sure the residents were safe. When asked what happened if a resident went out the door while staff
was providing personal care to another resident unaware that someone went out, he stated they would be
in a fenced in area that contained a tall fence.

2/3/25 that someone had pulled the wires from the door alarm. He stated he did not know why anyone
would do that, but it was not repairable. He stated, on 2/4/25, he ordered a new alarm. He stated, on 2/6/25,
he put a temporary alarm up so the staff would know if someone went out. The Maintenance Technician
stated he did not know what had happened to make that alarm nonfunctioning, but tomorrow morning, he
would make sure there was a functioning alarm.
