F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few MOBILITY: The resident is total dependent of (X2) staff for repositioning and turning in bed. Date Initiated: 01/09/21. Revision on 03/03/21. The resident is at risk for falls related to gait/balance problems, incontinence, poor communication/comprehension through the review date, Date Initiated: 01/09/21. Psychoactive drug use , unaware of safety needs Date Initiated: 01/09/21, Revision on: 11/26/24. Interventions included review information on past falls and attempt to determine cause of falls. Record possible root causes and remove any potential causes if possible. Educate resident/family/caregivers/interdisciplinary team as to causes. Date Initiated: 01/09/21. The resident had an actual fall on 6/12/24 with minor injury. Date initiated and revision on 06/19/24. Interventions included Record, Monitor/document /report PRN (as needed) x 72 hours to physician for signs or symptoms: Pain, bruises, change in mental status, new onset: confusion, sleepiness, inability to maintain posture, agitation. Neuro-checks x 72 hours. Wing Mattress in place. Date Initiated: 06/19/24. Record review of Resident #1's fall risk evaluation dated 03/25/24 documented a score of 15 indicating she was a high fall risk. Resident #1's fall risk evaluation dated 06/12/24 (the same day she fell from her bed) documented a score of 7 indicating she was a low fall risk. Record review of the facility provider investigation report dated 06/19/24 revealed Resident #1 had a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and Intellectual Disability Disorder (IDD). She was obese. She lived in a nursing home. She was supposed to have 2 staff assigned for ADL's. On 6/13/24, only one staff was cleaning her up/changing bed sheets, and Resident #1 fell from her bed when staff rolled her to the side. This caused injury to legs and back. Resident #1 went to a local hospital for x-ray with no breaks noted, but still had some pain and soreness. This has happened in the past which is why she had 2 staff assigned for changing/bathing and used a mechanical lift. Staff should have asked for assistance from an additional staff. Checked and released from the hospital. Expectation/Desire for resolution: staff need to follow Resident #1's plan to have 2 staff assist with ADL's. Record review of the facility incident reports dated 06/01/24-06/30/24 indicated Resident #1 experienced an un-witnessed fall on 06/12/24 at 4:05 pm. During a phone interview with the complainant/case worker on 01/15/25 at 12:29 pm, she said Resident #1 told her how she fell and was complaining of ankle pain, (resultant to the fall) because staff was providing incontinent care in bed with one staff member. Resident #1 told her she was bruised, had pain in her ankle and back, and they gave her Tylenol for her pain. Resident #1 told her that 2 staff was required and was in her orders. The Case Worker said the facility did not prevent it (the fall) because they were not following orders. She said she nor Resident #1 knew the names of the staff. She said Resident #1 was able to use her call light and kept it in her right, contractured hand and could press the button with her thumb. In an interview with ADON C on 01/15/25 at 4:15 pm, he said the resident should have had 2 staff for incontinent care. He said he recalled when he was informed that Resident #1 rolled out of bed. He said CNA B no longer worked at the facility and was suspended for the incident then terminated because she admitted to performing incontinent care alone. In an interview with Resident #1 on 01/16/25 at 11:10 am she stated she remembered falling out of bed in June 2024. She could not remember which side of the bed she fell from. She said it made her mad and she was still mad because they were supposed to use two people and they did not. She remembered having to go to the hospital and being in pain. In an interview with CNA E on 01/16/25 at 11:55 am, she said she mainly worked on the 100 hall and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675717 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 5 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675717 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few had worked at this facility for 15 years. She said she knew Resident #1 very well. She said CNA B went in to change Resident #1 by herself and she fell. She said the next thing she knew, there was an ambulance picking Resident #1 up. She said she heard other staff members saying CNA B thought she had enough room on the bed to turn her by herself. She said she did not really know what was going on at first because she was showering another resident at the time. She said Resident #1 was and is a 2-person assist for everything. She said she did not know why CNA B did not find or ask anyone for help. She said CNA B wasn't very talkative. She said Resident #1 returned to the facility later the same night. She asked Resident #1 if she was ok the next day and she gave her a hug and Resident #1 said ow, and that her right side hurt. CNA E said she did not notice any bruising at that time. She said Resident #1 was hurting for several days. She said Resident #1 was afraid to turn on the shower bed. Resident #1 required reassurance from herself and her partner CNA (whoever it was on her shift). She said Resident #1 had never been able to help turn, even with ¼ rails-she has not had them for a very long time. CNA E said when Resident #1 did, we would put her hand on it because it made her feel like she was helping. She said she thought Resident #1 had gotten better. CNA E said Resident #1 had no family but had a case worker. She said staff knew which residents required 2-person assists by looking at their charts and care plans on the kiosk. She said Resident #1 always had a scoop mattress. She said once Resident #1 got moving to turn, she would just keep going because of her weight and contractures. She said she had not heard of any other falling incidents since. CNA E said it was important to know what they were getting into (the resident's needs) not only for their safety but the resident's safety too. She said the CNA's had skills checkoffs every few months. She said ADON C did the monitoring. He would say, I want to see you wash your hands, or I want to see you do peri care. She said she had not witnessed any type of abuse in the past year. She said staff were in-serviced over ANE (abuse, neglect and exploitation) probably 2-3 times per month. She said the ADM was the abuse coordinator. If she witnessed abuse she would intervene, make sure resident was safe, report to the ADM, then have a nurse assess. If you see resident to resident altercation, you intervene and separate and call the nurse or the ADM. They are typically taken to their rooms, and from there they are assessed by the nurse. In an interview with ADON D on 01/16/25 at 1:05 pm, she said she recalled the incident in June 2024. She said before and after the incident the resident told her she fell off the bed and hit her head and wanted to go to the hospital. She said the resident could not move enough by herself to fall out of bed. She said she spoke to the CNA B who told her the resident fell out of bed. She said CNA B was suspended pending the investigation. She said she and ADON C typically conducted suspensions, and they suspended CNA B for not doing what she was supposed to, meaning performing incontinent care without another staff member. ADON D said the facility educated staff on kardex's and checking the kardex's to make sure if the residents were a 1- or 2-person assist to prevent harm to the resident. She said they had monthly mandatory in-services with different topics with all staff attending. She said they held the monthly mandatory in-services over a period of 2 days so both shifts got the education. She said Resident #1 requested to be sent to the ER. She said if Resident #1 hit her head, they would start the neuro checks regardless for the required 72 hours. She said the process for evaluating if a resident needed to transfer, they call the doctor to let them know they were transferring a resident and there should be an order for it. She said there was no order for the transfer. She said the resident returned to the facility at 11:04 pm the same day. She said this was a witnessed fall because CNA B was in the room. She said the nurse documented it as an unwitnessed fall, but it didn't make sense because CNA B told her she was in the room. emergency room record requested at this time.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few pm, she said the emergency room records were not in Resident #1's chart. She said the receptionist was supposed to scan hospital, emergency room, any kind of transfer notes. She said each nurse's station had a box for documents including after hours, and she and/or ADON C checked the documents for appointments, new orders, etc., then took them to the receptionist to scan in. During a phone interview with LVN F on 01/16/25 at 2:08 pm, she said she knew Resident #1 . She recalled when she fell out of bed and that was the only time she had ever fallen out of bed. She said CNA B told her that she rolled the resident onto her side and left her to go out of the room to get something and when she came back, the resident had already fallen. She asked her what happened after she assessed Resident #1, and the resident told her CNA B left and then she fell, and CNA B was in there by herself. She said CNA B was terminated because of the incident. She said Resident #1 was crying and upset and she had worked with her for a long time. She said Resident #1 was credible. She said the facility sent her out just to make sure she was ok. She said she did not think Resident #1 hit her head. She said she took care of Resident #1 the next day and did not recall any bruising. She said she did not recall if the resident was in pain. She recalled the resident did not break anything.
