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 interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive assessment and described the services that were to be furnished to attain or maintain the resident's highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, for 2 of 5 residents (Residents #1 and #2) reviewed for comprehensive care plans. 1. The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan with interventions to address Resident #1's behavior of unbuckling the seat belt when transported in the facility van. On 6/13/2025, Resident #1 fell forward while being transported and sustained a laceration to her forehead. 2. The facility failed to develop a person-centered care plan with interventions that addressed Resident #2's fall on 06/18/2025. An IJ was identified on 07/12/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 3:30 PM. While the IJ was removed on 07/13/2025 at 4:20 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolation and severity of potential for more than minimal harm due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of their plan of removal. These failures could affect residents who have care areas not addressed by the care plans by not having their behavioral needs identified and addressed and putting them at risk of not having their health and safety needs met. The findings included:1. Record review of Resident #1's admission Record (Face Sheet) dated 07/11/2025 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old resident admitted to the facility on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE] and was discharged on 06/13/2025. Diagnoses listed on the admission Record included heart failure, kidney failure with dependance on dialysis (medical treatment to filter waste and excess water from the blood through a specialized machine), syncope (irregular heartbeat), bradycardia (slow heartbeat), and vascular dementia (impaired cognitive thinking due to constricted blood flow). Record review of Resident #1's MDS, a Quarterly assessment dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 5 out of 15 which indicated her cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired; was dependent for transfers, and had no other behavioral symptoms not directed toward others. Record review of Resident #1's Physician Order Summary Report, dated 07/12/2025, revealed an order initiated on 01/17/2025 for dialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 12:00 PM at a local dialysis center. Record review of Resident #1's Nurses Notes from 03/11/2025 to 06/12/2025 revealed there was no notation of Resident #1 trying to stand up during transport or for trying to unbuckle her seatbelt in the facility van during transport. Record review of Resident #1's Nurses Notes dated 06/13/2025 by the DON, revealed Resident had a fall. Location: in facility van during transport to dialysis. Cognition/Behavior at Time of Event: Cognitive Impairment. The fall caused a skin tear to above left eyebrow.new/bleeding.Administrator received call from Van Driver of resident fall in van.

noted on floor and on resident's hair. Cream colored emesis (vomit) noted on wc [wheelchair] and unable to check vs [vital signs]. Respirations slow and irregular. 911 called per van driver. Ems arrived and transported to ER. The MD was notified on 06/13/2025 at 12:02 PM. Resident #1's Responsible Party was notified on 06/13/2025 at 11:52 AM. Interventions in place prior to fall: None, Interventions initiated in response to fall: none. Record review of Resident #1's Nurse's Notes dated 06/13/2025 by LVN H revealed the nurse received a call from the hospital emergency room regarding Resident #1's medication list which was faxed to the hospital and the nurse was informed the resident had another episode of vomiting at the hospital and was intubated (a tube inserted into the mouth and throat to hold open the airway so air can be pushed in and out of the lungs via machine) at that time. Record review of Resident #1's Event Nurses' Note-Fall, dated 06/13/2025, revealed the resident had an unwitnessed fall in the facility van during transport to dialysis sustaining a skin tear above her left eyebrow. Resident #1's responsible party was notified on 06/13/2025 at 11:52 AM and her physician was notified on 06/13/2025 at 12:02 PM. Under Interventions in place prior to this fall had None of the above was checked. Under Interventions initiated in response to this fall had None of the above checked and no interventions were listed. Record review of hospital records dated 6/20/2025 revealed Resident #1 had a CT (Computed tomography - type of imaging using x-ray techniques to obtain detailed images) of head was completed 06/19/2025 and showed no acute intracranial finding. Further review reviewed Resident #1 was treated for and placed on seizure precautions and treated also for sepsis-resolved (condition where the body's responses to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs), likely secondary to aspiration pneumonia (lung infections caused by inhaling something other than air into your lungs, such as food or vomit), and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (noted she converted to normal sinus rhythm on 6/16/2025). Telephone interview with Family Member #1 on 07/11/2025 at 12:08 p.m. revealed Resident #1 was no longer in hospital and had been moved to a different nursing facility but was still fighting an infection and very weak. He stated Resident #1 had a history of falls but expected the facility to know this and take appropriate precautions. He stated he felt the facility should have sent extra staff instead of just the driver to help take care of vulnerable residents. During interview with the Van Driver on 07/09/2025 at 3:57 PM, she stated she had pulled out of facility to transport Resident #1 to dialysis when she heard Resident #1 make a loud noise, checked her rearview mirror and saw Resident #1 vomiting. The Van Driver stated she started to pull over to get off the road when she saw Resident #1 stiffen up and fall forward, landing face first on the floor of the van. She stated she called the Administrator, who instructed her to call 911. Further interview revealed the Van Driver stated she had secured Resident #1 securely inside the van but believed Resident #1 unfastened the seatbelt as she had done that before on at least 2 occasions in the past. Further interview with the Van Driver on 07/10/2025 at 4:15 p.m. revealed that she stated there were two other prior incidents of Resident #1 removing her seatbelt and trying to stand up in the van. She stated the first incident happened about 2 months prior to the June 13th incident, where Resident #1 took her seatbelt off and she told Resident #1 to keep her seatbelt fastened because she could fall. She stated the second incident happened about 2 weeks prior to the June 13th incident, where Resident #1 attempted to pull herself up to standing by pulling on the seat in front of her during transport. The Van Driver stated she reported one of the incidents to LVN -A, and one incident to the Administrator, who told her to contact therapy to ask what could be done, and therapy told her they could tilt her wheelchair backwards so she couldn't grab things. During an interview with LVN-A on 07/10/2025 at 11:44 a.m., she stated that sometime during that first week of June 2025, the Van Driver came to the Nurse's station after returning Resident #1 back to facility from

dialysis, and told her, the DON and former ADON, who were all standing at the nurse's station, that Resident #1 had tried to stand up in the van during transport. LVN-A stated she educated Resident #1 about not standing up in the van, that it was dangerous, and she stated Resident #1 denied that she had done that. LVN-A further stated that she did not report the incident to anyone because the DON was standing at the Nurse's station with her when the Van Driver reported the incident and had instructed her to educate Resident #1 on not unbuckling her seatbelt. During an interview on 7/11/25 at 9:41 AM, the Activity Director stated that he and the other Van Driver were the only 2 employees that transported residents. The Activity Director stated he transported Resident #1 several times and he had seen her undo her seatbelt in the past. He stated he educated Resident #1 to not unbuckle her seat belt, but she got anxious and unbuckled it. He stated he reported the incident to the Van Driver so that she could monitor for the behavior. Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022 for The resident is risk for falls due to dx [diagnosis] of syncope [irregular heartbeat]. Resident had action [sic] fall in facility van causing laceration to forehead initiated 07/03/2022 and revised 06/14/2025 revealed it did not address the resident's behavior of unbuckling the seat belt and no new interventions were listed. Record review of Resident #1's other Care Plan focus areas revealed there was no care plan for her behaviors of trying to unbuckle the seatbelt and standing up when transported in the van. Interview on 07/10/2025 at 4:30 PM with the Administrator revealed she had never been informed of Resident #1 unbuckling or standing up in the van. She stated she had been informed by the Van Driver of an incident that occurred about 2 months prior to the current incident, where the Van Driver reported Resident #1 had attempted to slide out of her wheelchair and that was when she suggested the Van Driver check with therapy to see if wheelchair could be modified. Interview on 07/11/2025 at 11:45 PM with PT B revealed she confirmed a CNA had asked what could be done about Resident #1 leaning forward in wheelchair. PT B stated she instructed the CNA and Resident #1's family member how to recline the wheelchair and there was no documentation available about the instruction provided. Interview on 07/11/2025 at 11:46 AM with Administrator, revealed had she known about prior incidents of Resident #1 unbuckling her seat belt and trying to stand up in van, she would have assigned an escort to accompany Resident #1 during transport or sought other ambulance transportation services. Interview on 07/12/2025 at 2:04 PM, MDS Nurse RN C stated if a resident had a behavior of removing their seatbelt while being transported, the Administrator would be informed along with the DON, and any interventions implemented would be care planned. MDS Nurse RN C stated Resident #1's Care Plan and MDS were completed by anther MDS nurse who no longer worked in the facility. MDS Nurse RN C reviewed Resident #1's care plan for falls and stated she did not see anything in Resident #1's Care Plans about her behavior of unbuckling the seatbelt when transported in the facility van, and only had just one statement about the resident having a fall in the facility van causing a laceration to her forehead. MDS Nurse RN C stated the harm of not having the behavior of unbuckling the seatbelt during transport in the care plan could result in an injury. Interview on 07/12/2025 at 2:15 PM with the Administrator, she stated the process for reporting resident behaviors was for the nurse to document in the resident's chart the behavior so it could be discussed in daily meetings or directly tell the DON or Administrator. She stated the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) would be responsible for developing interventions to address the behavior to ensure the resident's safety. The Administrator stated it was her understanding that the behavior [of unbuckling the seatbelt] was not addressed in Resident #1's care plan and the harm could result in further injury. 2. Record review of Resident #2's admission record dated 07/08/2025 revealed she was an [AGE] year-old woman admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: Vascular

Dementia-Severe (impaired cognitive thinking due to constricted blood flow), Schizoaffective Disorder (a mental health condition that includes both symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusion and mood disorders), and Poly- osteoarthritis (condition where cartilage in multiple joints wears down causing bones to rub against each other leading to pain and stiffness). Record review of Resident #2's Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 4, indicating severe cognitive impairment and she was assessed as needing substantial/maximal assistance for transfers. Record review of Resident #2's Nurses Notes dated 06/18/2025 at 6:06 p.m. by LVN-I, revealed the resident had an unwitnessed fall from the low bed in her room onto the floor next to the bed sustaining a skin tear that was 2cm. to her right hand, and complaining of head, neck, right arm and right leg pain.

Record review of Resident #2's Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022 for The resident is risk for falls r/t Poor communication/comprehension.Resident H/O fall out of bed due to self positions to the point of being on the edge initiated 07/03/2022 and last revised 07/07/2023, revealed it was not revised to address the resident's actual fall on 06/18/2025 and no new interventions were listed. Record review of Resident #2's other focus areas of Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022 revealed there was no care plan or new interventions which addressed her fall on 06/18/2025. Interview with CNA-K on 07/09/2025 at 1:52 p.m. revealed she stated she had completed check and change with Resident #2 about an hour before her fall and stated she put the bed in the lowest position, and the head of bed was just slightly elevated. Then as she was walking down hall with LVN-H to leave at end of her shift, she heard Resident #2 mumbling, looked in her room and saw her on the floor, face down. She stated she also observed the bed was not in the lowest position, and the head of the bed was straight up at 90-degree angle. The fall mat was in place by her bed. Interview with LVN-H on 07/10/2025 at 10:40 a.m. revealed she works day shift and was getting ready to leave for the day when she heard Resident #2 talking from her room, and when she went to check on her, found Resident #2 lying on the mat on the floor next to her bed. LVN-H stated she observed that Resident #2's head of bed was up to the full 90 degrees, and the bed was not in lowest position, and stated that Resident #2 had been observed to work the bed controller in the past. LVN H stated she believed Resident #2 had accidentally changed position of bed as she manipulated the bed controller. She stated they always make sure her call light was within reach but does not believe she understands its purpose as Resident #2 will push the button on the call light, but when they answer, she cannot say what she needed or why she activated the light. Interview on 07/10/2025 at 5:59 p.m. with LVN-I revealed she works night shift and had just come on duty on 6/18/2025 when she was called into Resident #2's room after she had been found on the floor. She stated Resident #2 was lying on the mat on the floor next to her bed, and that the mat had been in place. However, she noted the bed was not in its lowest position and the head of the bed was in an upright position and stated Resident #2 will take the bed controller and randomly press buttons on it, which can move her bed out of the lowest position. LVN-I stated they have done interventions to keep her from falling again, such as moving the bed controller to the end of the bed to keep her from moving the bed up higher and moving things away from her bed that she can grab, like the drawers out of her dresser. Interview with the DON on 07/11/2025 at 8:28 a.m. revealed all acute incidents such as falls are discussed in the morning team meetings and the team discusses actions/interventions needed. She did not remember specifically what was discussed regarding Resident #2's fall on 6/18/2025.

The DON stated that the MDS Nurse is responsible for revising the care plan per the quarterly and annual MDS assessments, and the DON and ADONs are responsible for updating care plans for acute changes. The DON did not know why there was no care plan revision done following Resident #2's fall on 06/18/2025 and -stated that could result in staff not being aware of the care needs of the residents, and could result in acute events such as falls happening again. During an interview with the Administrator on 07/11/2025 at 10:16 a.m., the Administrator stated that Resident #2's fall on 06/18/2025 was addressed by the team in the morning clinical meeting to review causes of the fall and devise new interventions to prevent other falls in future. The Administrator stated that interventions were put into place, including moving furniture to create a safe space, and moving the bed controller away from Resident #2's reach, so that she could not move the bed out of the recommended low bed position. The Administrator further stated however, that Resident #2's care plan was not revised to include these new interventions to prevent further falls but should have been. She stated that either the MDS Nurse or DON can update the care plan to include new focus areas and interventions after discussion in the morning clinical meeting and did not know why Resident #2's care plan was not revised. The Administrator stated not updating the care plan to include all relevant new information such as interventions put in place to prevent falls, could result in staff not having the needed information to care for the Resident properly. Record review of facility policy titled Fall Policy, undated revealed The DON or designee will be responsible for investigating all resident falls to attempt to determine the cause and need for new interventions as requires and Appropriate interventions will be addressed immediately on the interdisciplinary plan of care. Reassessment will occur after each fall. Record review of facility policy titled Comprehensive Care Planning, undated, revealed The resident's care plan will be reviewed after each Admission, Quarterly, Annual and/or Significant Change MDS assessment, and revised based on changing goals, preferences and needs of the resident and in response to current interventions. This was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 07/13/2025 at 3:30 PM. The facility Administrator and Area Regional Director of Operations were notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template on 07/13/2025 at 3:30 PM. On 07/13/2025 the facility provided a plan of removal. The Plan of removal was accepted on 07/13/2025 at 7:05 PM.

The Medical Director was notified of the immediate jeopardy situation on 7/12/25 at 5:54 PM by the facility Administrator. Ad Hoc (something done for a specific, immediate need) QAPI meeting will be held on 7/11/25 to discuss the IJ and review plan of removal. Any falls/incidents that occur over the weekend will be reported to the facility administrator and/or DON. On 07/12/2025, the facility Administrator was in-serviced one-one-one by the Area Director of Operations about ensuring interventions are put into place following an incident. Signature verbalized understanding. All behaviors will be reported to facility Administrator/DON; interventions will be discussed with IDT and interventions implemented and care planned. Behaviors will be documented in chart and reviewed daily in stand-up. All new interventions added to the care plan will be shared with the staff in a written update on the facility dashboard (in the electronic documentation system) available to all direct care staff. DON/ADON/Administrator will review entries on the dashboard and follow to assure that the changes were implemented and added to the resident care plan and kiosk as appropriate. If a resident unbuckles their seatbelt during van transportation, the van will be pulled over at the nearest safe place. The driver will sit with the resident and call for assistance. Real time computer software key word alert and the 24-hour report will be reviewed in morning stand up 5x weekly by the intradisciplinary team, to assess for any documented changes in resident behavior or other incidents. Any interventions will be put in place and added to the facility dashboard for the staff review. Prior to any van transport, the Administrator/DON will review, with the van driver, any special needs for resident safe transport and put them in place prior to the beginning of transportation. Any modifications will be noted on the van transportation calendar. Monitoring: DON and Administrator will review all falls, incidents and accidents and unsafe behaviors during the morning meeting to ensure appropriate interventions have been implemented. These will continue to be reviewed 5x weekly until the identified issue has been resolved and interventions are in place. The weekend supervisor will review the real time system and 24-hour report and report any newly identified issues to DON/Administrator. Identified incidents, accidents and or unsafe behaviors will be added to a tracker for Administrator and DON to complete with interventions and weekly follow up to assure that said interventions are in place and satisfactory to assure the residents' safety. If it is determined not to be effective, new interventions will be added and tracked. This will be done for a period of 6 weeks or until substantial compliance is achieved, reviewed by the QAPI committee prior to any changes. DON and Administrator will review all falls, incidents and accidents during the weekly Standard of Care Meeting to ensure appropriate interventions have been implemented and plan of care updated to assure staff know how to care for resident after an event or change in condition. Monitoring will take place weekly for a minimum of 6 weeks. The above will be reviewed during the facility monthly QA meeting for no less than 60 days, or until the Administrator determines substantial compliance has been achieved and maintained. Incidents involving van transport will be reviewed 5x weekly in morning meetings to determine if there were any incidents. The IDT will discuss any necessary interventions to prevent future events and update the residents' plan of care as appropriate. This will continue for a period of 6 weeks and PRN thereafter as determined by the QAPI committee. Regional Compliance Nurse/Area Director of Operations will review incidents and accidents at least once weekly to assure that appropriate interventions are in place to address incidents, accidents and changes in condition were made at the facility level.

The DON stated they would review which residents need to have an escort or need to have a contracted transport company take a resident to dialysis if needed. The DON said they had an Ad Hoc QAPI meeting on 7/11/2025 with the department heads, the Administrator, the Area Director of Operations; and the Medical Director was informed by the Administrator. The DON said she and the ADON would review the 24-hour summary to see if there were any changes that happened such as falls or behaviors and to see if they were reviewed. The DON stated the resident's dashboard would be reviewed throughout the day for any falls or behaviors that would need to be addressed. The DON said she and the Administrator were reviewing residents who were going to be transported, and it was discussed if the resident needed to have an escort. The DON stated the SOC meeting was held weekly on Fridays, and they would review residents who had a fall or accident to see if any interventions were needed. In an interview on 07/13/2025 at 2:23 PM, the Administrator stated the interventions implemented included re-educating all staff on reporting unusual occurrences, and an employee could not return to work unless they received the training. The Administrator said all staff were provided her phone number to contact her to report any abuse or unsafe behaviors. The Administrator stated a monitoring tool was implemented to review all falls in the morning meeting

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 interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure that the resident's environment remained free of accidents and hazards as possible and each resident received adequate supervision to prevent accidents for 2 of 2 residents (Residents #1 and #2) reviewed for accidents. 1. The facility failed to identify and address hazards and risk in Resident #1's environment when staff failed to ensure they addressed Resident #1's behavior of unbuckling the seatbelt during transport in the facility van. On 06/13/2025, Resident #1 sustained a fall during van transport, with the seat belt noted to be on the wheelchair but the fastener unlatched, resulting in a laceration to her forehead. 2. The facility failed to identify and address hazards and risk in Resident #2's environment when staff failed to ensure they addressed Resident #2's fall on 06/18/2025. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 07/11/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 10:39 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 07/13/2025 at 4:20 p.m., the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity of potential for more than minimal harm due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of their plan of removal. This failure could place residents at risk for accidents injuries, hospitalization and death related to unsafe vehicle transport. The
findings included: 1.Record review of Resident #1’s admission record dated 07/08/2025 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old woman admitted on [DATE] with re-admission on [DATE], and with diagnoses which included: End-Stage Renal disease (condition where kidneys lose the ability to remove waste and balance fluids in balance requiring dialysis); Syncope (fainting or temporary loss of consciousness) and collapse; Vascular Dementia (impaired cognitive thinking due to constricted blood flow) and Bradycardia (slow heart beat). Record review of Resident #1’s Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed she had a BIMS score of 5, indicating severe cognitive impairment, and was assessed as being dependent for transfers, and had no behavioral symptoms. Record review of Resident #1’s Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022 revealed a focus area for “The resident is risk for falls due to dx [diagnosis] of syncope,” and included “Resident had action [sic] fall in facility van causing laceration to forehead” initiated 07/03/2022 and revised 06/14/2025. There were no interventions listed which addressed the resident’s behavior of unbuckling the seat belt and no new interventions for this fall were listed. Record review of Resident #1’s other focus areas in her Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022, revealed there was no other focus areas for her behavior of trying to stand up during transport or for trying to unbuckle her seatbelt in the facility van during transport. Record review of Resident #1’s Physician Order Summary Report, dated 07/12/2025, revealed an order initiated on 01/17/2025 for dialysis at 12:05 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at a local dialysis center. Record review of Resident #1’s Nurses Notes from 03/11/2025 to 06/12/2025 revealed there was no notation of Resident #1 trying to stand up during transport or for trying to unbuckle her seatbelt in the facility van during transport. Record review of Resident #1’s Progress Note dated 6/13/2025 at 11:22 a.m. by the DON revealed “Resident had a fall. Location: in facility van during transport to dialysis. Cognition/Behavior at Time of Event: Cognitive Impairment. The fall caused a skin tear to above left eyebrow.

Blood noted on floor and on resident’s hair. Cream colored emesis (vomit) noted on wc [wheelchair] and unable to check vs [vital signs]. Respirations slow and irregular. 911 called per van driver. Ems arrived and transported to ER…” The MD was notified on 06/13/2025 at 12:02 PM. Resident #1’s Responsible Party was notified on 06/13/2025 at 11:52 AM. “Interventions in place prior to fall: None, Interventions initiated in response to fall: none.” Record review of Resident #1’s Nurse’s Notes dated 06/13/2025 by LVN-H revealed the nurse received a call from the hospital emergency room regarding Resident #1’s medication list which was faxed to the hospital and the nurse was informed the resident had another episode of vomiting at the hospital and was intubated (a tube inserted into the mouth and throat to hold open the airway so air can be pushed in and out of the lungs via machine) at that time. Record review of Resident #1’s Event Nurses’ Note-Fall, dated 06/13/2025, revealed the resident had an unwitnessed fall in the facility van during transport to dialysis sustaining a skin tear above her left eyebrow. Resident #1’s responsible party was notified on 06/13/2025 at 11:52 AM and her physician was notified on 06/13/2025 at 12:02 PM. Under “Interventions in place prior to this fall” had “None of the above” was checked. Under “Interventions initiated in response to this fall” had “None of the above” checked and no interventions were listed. Record review of hospital records dated 6/20/2025 revealed Resident #1 had a CT (Computed tomography – type of imaging using x-ray techniques to obtain detailed images) of head was completed 06/19/2025 and showed “no acute intracranial finding”. Further review revealed Resident #1 was treated for and placed on seizure precautions and treated also for sepsis-resolved (condition where the body’s responses to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs), likely secondary to aspiration pneumonia (lung infections caused by inhaling something other than air into your lungs, such as food or vomit), and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (noted she converted to normal sinus rhythm on 6/16/2025). Telephone interview with Family Member #1 on 07/11/2025 at 12:08 p.m. revealed Resident #1 was no longer in hospital and had been moved to a different nursing facility, but was still fighting an infection and very weak. He stated Resident #1 had a history of falls, but expected the facility to know this and take appropriate precautions. He stated he felt the facility should have sent extra staff instead of just the driver to help take care of vulnerable residents. During an interview on 07/09/2025 at 3:57 p.m., the Van Driver stated that she loaded Resident #1 in the van on 06/13/2025, leaving facility at 11:16 a.m. and after pulling out onto the road, she heard Resident #1 make a loud noise, and saw in the rear-view mirror that Resident #1 had vomit coming from her mouth. She stated that as she attempted to turn to pull off to the side of road, she saw Resident #1 stiffen up and fall forward out of the wheelchair and land face down on the floor of the van. The Van Driver stated she called the Administrator who told her to call 911. The Van Driver further stated that she had secured Resident #1 securely in her wheelchair into the van with 4 straps that were attached to the L-bar of Resident #1’s wheelchair frame, but stated she believed Resident #1 had unbuckled her seatbelt, because she had unbuckled her seatbelt during transport in the past. Further interview with the Van Driver on 07/10/2025 at 4:15 p.m. revealed that she stated there

were two other prior incidents of Resident #1 removing her seatbelt and trying to stand up in the van. She stated the first incident happened about 2 months prior to the June 13th incident, where Resident #1 took her seatbelt off and she told Resident #1 to keep her seatbelt fastened because she could fall. She stated the second incident happened about 2 weeks prior to the June 13th incident, where Resident #1 attempted to pull herself up to standing by pulling on the seat in front of her during transport. The Van Driver stated she reported one of the incidents to LVN -A, and one incident to the Administrator, who told her to contact therapy to ask what could be done, and therapy told her they could tilt her wheelchair backwards so she couldn’t grab things. During an interview with LVN-A on 07/10/2025 at 11:44 a.m., she stated that sometime during that first week of June 2025, the Van Driver came to the Nurse’s station after returning Resident #1 back to facility from dialysis, and told her, the DON and former ADON, who were all standing at the nurse’s station, that Resident #1 had tried to stand up in the van during transport. LVN-A stated she educated Resident #1 about not standing up in the van, that it was dangerous, and she stated Resident #1 denied that she had done that. LVN-A further stated that she did not report the incident to anyone because the DON was standing at the Nurse’s station with her when the Van Driver reported the incident and had instructed her to educate Resident #1 on not unbuckling her seatbelt. During an interview with the DON on 07/10/2025 at 4:54 p.m., the DON stated she was never made aware of any prior incidents of Resident #1 taking off her seatbelt or trying to stand up out of her wheelchair during van transport. Interview on 07/10/2025 at 4:30 p.m. with the Administrator revealed she had inspected the van after the incident and observed vomit on the chest strap when she pulled it out from the retracting device, indicating the chest strap had been in place across Resident #1’s chest when she first started to vomit and believed Resident #1 may have pressed down on her abdomen with her hand when she vomited, accidentally pushing on the release button of the seatbelt. When asked about any prior incidents, the Administrator stated that the Van Driver had informed her of an incident where Resident #1 had attempted to slide down out of her wheelchair, could not remember the exact date, but thought it might have been a couple of months prior to the current incident, and that was when she suggested the Van Driver check with therapy to see if wheelchair could be modified. She stated the Van Driver never told her Resident #1 had unbuckled her seatbelt or tried to stand up in van. She stated the Van Driver came back and told her therapy stated the wheelchair could be tilted back slightly, and they agreed that was what they were going to try to do to address the problem. The Administrator further stated that if Resident #1 had intentionally tried to undo her seatbelt or stand up in the van during transport she would expect that to be reported to her, but no one ever had. She stated the team never met to discuss the incident reported to her of Resident #1 trying to slide out of the wheelchair and the intervention they discussed about the therapy assessment of the wheelchair was never care planned but should have been. Interview with PT - B on 07/11/2025 at 11:46 a.m. revealed she confirmed a CNA had come down to ask about what could be done about Resident #1 leaning forward in wheelchair and PT-B instructed CNA and Resident #1’s family member how to recline the wheelchair. No documentation available as Resident #1 was not on services at this time. Interview with the Activity Director on 7/11/2025 at 9:41 a.m. revealed that he also transports residents in the van to recreational activities, but will also transport residents at times to their medical appointments when the primary Van Driver is out sick. He stated the primary Van Driver and he are the only staff who transported residents at the facility. The Activity Director stated he had

transported Resident #1 in the van many times and had observed her undo her seatbelt or try to stand up in van during transport several times. The Activity Director further stated he educated Resident #1 not to unbuckle her seat belt, but stated she would get anxious at times and forget. The Activity Director stated he reported this behavior of unbuckling her seatbelt during transport to the primary Van Driver so she could be aware and monitor but did not report the incidents to anyone else. During a telephone interview with the Van Driver on 07/11/2025 at 11:54 a.m., she stated that she did not recall the Activity Director ever informing her or warning her about Resident #1’s behavior of unbuckling her seatbelt during transport. During an interview with the Administrator on 07/11/2025 at 11:46 a.m., the Administrator stated that had she known Resident #1 had incidents of unbuckling her seatbelt in van during transport, she would have assigned an escort to go along with her during transport or contracted with local company for ambulance transportation services for Resident #1. 2. Record review of Resident #2’s admission record dated 07/08/2025 revealed she was an [AGE] year-old woman admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: Vascular Dementia-Severe (impaired cognitive thinking due to constricted blood flow), Schizoaffective Disorder (a mental health condition that includes both symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusion and mood disorders), and Poly- osteoarthritis (condition where cartilage in multiple joints wears down causing bones to rub against each other leading to pain and stiffness). Record review of Resident #2’s Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 4, indicating severe cognitive impairment and she was assessed as needing substantial/maximal assistance for transfers. Record review of Resident #2’s Nurses Notes dated 06/18/2025 at 6:06 p.m. by LVN-I, revealed the resident had an unwitnessed fall from the low bed in her room onto the floor next to the bed sustaining a skin tear that was 2cm. to her right hand, and complaining of head, neck, right arm and right leg pain. Under “Interventions in place prior to this fall” had “Floor mat, Low bed.” Under “Interventions initiated in response to this fall” had “Floor mat, Low bed, neuro-checks.” Record review of Resident #2’s Nurses Notes dated 06/18/2025 at 10:55 p.m. by LVN-I revealed resident had returned from the ER with a diagnosis of right knee patella (kneecap) fracture, with knee immobilizer in place. Record review of Resident #2’s Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022 for “The resident is risk for falls r/t Poor communication/comprehension….Resident H/O fall out of bed due to self positions to the point of being on the edge” initiated 07/03/2022 and last revised 07/07/2023, revealed it was not revised to address the resident’s actual fall on 06/18/2025 and no new interventions were listed. Record review of Resident #2’s other focus areas of Care Plan initiated 07/03/2022 revealed there was no care plan or new interventions which addressed her fall on 06/18/2025. Interview with CNA-K on 07/09/2025 at 1:52 p.m. revealed she stated she had completed check and change with Resident #2 about an hour before her fall and stated she put the bed in the lowest

position, and the head of bed was just slightly elevated. Then as she was walking down hall with LVN-H to leave at end of her shift, she heard Resident #2 mumbling, looked in her room and saw her on the floor, face down. She stated she also observed the bed was not in the lowest position, and the head of the bed was straight up at 90-degree angle. The fall mat was in place by her bed. Interview with LVN-H on 07/10/2025 at 10:40 a.m. revealed she works day shift and was getting ready to leave for the day when she heard Resident #2 talking from her room, and when she went to check on her, found Resident #2 lying on the mat on the floor next to her bed. LVN-H stated she observed that Resident #2’s head of bed was up to the full 90 degrees, and the bed was not in lowest position, and stated that Resident #2 had been observed to work the bed controller in the past. LVN H stated she believed Resident #2 had accidentally changed position of bed as she manipulated the bed controller. She stated they always make sure her call light was within reach but does not believe she understands its purpose as Resident #2 will push the button on the call light, but when they answer, she cannot say what she needed or why she activated the light. Interview on 07/10/2025 at 5:59 p.m. with LVN-I revealed she works night shift and had just come on duty on 6/18/2025 when she was called into Resident #2’s room after she had been found on the floor. She stated Resident #2 was lying on the mat on the floor next to her bed, and that the mat had been in place. However, she noted the bed was not in its lowest position and the head of the bed was in an upright position and stated Resident #2 will take the bed controller and randomly press buttons on it, which can move her bed out of the lowest position. LVN-I stated they have done interventions to keep her from falling again, such as moving the bed controller to the end of the bed to keep her from moving the bed up higher and moving things away from her bed that she can grab, like the drawers out of her dresser. Interview with the DON on 07/11/2025 at 8:28 a.m. revealed all acute incidents such as falls are discussed in the morning team meetings and the team discusses actions/interventions needed. She did not remember specifically what was discussed regarding Resident #2’s fall on 6/18/2025. The DON stated that the MDS Nurse is responsible for revising the care plan per the quarterly and annual MDS assessments, and the DON and ADONs are responsible for updating care plans for acute changes. The DON did not know why there was no care plan revision done following Resident #2’s fall on 06/18/2025 and -stated that could result in staff not being aware of the care needs of the residents, and could result in acute events such as falls happening again. During an interview with the Administrator on 07/11/2025 at 10:16 a.m., the Administrator stated that Resident #2’s fall on 06/18/2025 was addressed by the team in the morning clinical meeting to review causes of the fall and devise new interventions to prevent other falls in future. The Administrator stated that interventions were put into place, including moving furniture to create a safe space, and moving the bed controller away from Resident #2’s reach, so that she could not move the bed out of the recommended low bed position. The Administrator further stated however, that Resident #2’s care plan was not revised to include these new interventions to prevent further falls but should have been. She stated that either the MDS Nurse or DON can update the care plan to include new focus areas and interventions after discussion in the morning clinical meeting and did not know why Resident #2’s care plan was not revised. The Administrator stated not updating the care plan to include all relevant new information such as interventions put in place to prevent falls, could result in staff not having the needed information to care for the Resident properly. Record review of facility policy titled “Fall Policy”, undated revealed “The DON or designee will be responsible for investigating all resident falls to attempt to determine the
