unwitnessed fall resulting in large gash above right eye and swelling and bruising to right eye.
Record review of a care plan, undated, for Resident #186 indicated he was at risk for bleeding and injury
associated with daily use of anti-platelet medications (Clopidogrel). Care plan also indicated that he had an
actual fall on1/16/23 with injury and interventions included to monitor, document, and report to MD any
signs/symptoms of pain, such as bruises, change in mental status, or agitation.
Record review of a facility 24-hour report dated 7/12/23 for the dates of 1/16/23 through 1/17/23 indicated
that resident had fallen on 1/16/23 and neurological assessments were initiated immediately after fall.
24-hour report indicated that Resident #186's neurological assessment on 1/16/23 at 5:41 pm his CGS was
15 indicating mild head injury. At 6:12 pm on 1/16/23, his score was a 10, indicating a moderate head injury.
There was no documentation of physician notification regarding this decline.
Record review of hospital paperwork in Resident #186's electronic medical record indicated that Resident
#186 was admitted to ICU on 1/17/23 at 5:40 pm.
Record review of progress note dated 1/19/23 indicated that Resident #186 readmitted to facility with
diagnoses: right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage (a bleed that occurs within the brain parenchyma, the
functional tissue in the brain); right temporal horn IVH (a bleeding into the brain's ventricular system, where
the cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates through towards the subarachnoid space. It can result
from physical trauma); bilateral subdural hematomas (a dangerous condition where blood collects under the
skull, putting pressure on the brain and causing damage or death); left temporal horn IVH (a bleeding into
the brain's ventricular system, where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates through towards the
subarachnoid space. It can result from physical trauma).
Record review of a progress note dated 1/21/23 for Resident #186 indicated that he passed away on
1/21/23 at 9:23 am.
During an interview with DON on 7/11/23 at 4:00 pm, she said that she was not employed by this facility at
that time but that she was employed by hospice services on 1/16/23. She said that she had started as the
facility DON in February 2023. She said that she had come to the facility to assess Resident #186 on
1/16/23 and she noticed a change from his baseline, and he was unresponsive. She said that she was
unable to reach a family member to see what they wanted to do, so she had him sent out to the emergency
room. She said in cases where she could not reach family members regarding hospice residents, she
would use nursing judgement and sent out for evaluation. She said that any resident that suffered a fall with
possible head injury should be sent out for evaluation.
During an interview with Resident #186's family member on 7/11/23 at 4:34 pm, she said that the facility did
notify her of the fall on 1/16/23 and that she had told them to send him to the ER if they thought that he
needed to go. She said that she was under the impression that the nurse would use her judgement to
decide if he needed to go. She said that if she had known the severity of the situation, she would have
insisted they send him out. She said that once he was in the ICU at the hospital, the doctors there told her
that he had five brain bleeds and that there was nothing that they could do. She said that before the fall, he
had been active and alert, he just was unable to speak due to a stroke. She said that she had him sent
back to the nursing facility because the hospital said that they could not do anything for the bleeding on his
brain.

the fall. She said she had been at the nurse's station and was notified by a CNA of the resident's fall. She
said she did an assessment and took vital signs on Resident #186. She said around 3:30 pm, he was found
laying on the floor and had been trying to get up on his own without assistance. She said that he fell in his
room while ambulating unassisted, and he pointed to the bathroom to indicate he was trying to go to the

indicating a moderate head injury. There was no documentation of physician notification regarding this
decline. Resident remained in facility and received no interventions.
Record review of hospital paperwork in Resident #186's electronic medical record indicated that Resident
#186 was admitted to ICU on 1/17/23 at 5:40 pm.
Record review of progress note dated 1/19/23 indicated that resident readmitted to facility with diagnoses:
right frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage (a bleed that occurs within the brain parenchyma, the functional
tissue in the brain); right temporal horn IVH (a bleeding into the brain's ventricular system, where the
cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates through towards the subarachnoid space. It can result from
physical trauma); bilateral subdural hematomas (a dangerous condition where blood collects under the
skull, putting pressure on the brain and causing damage or death); left temporal horn IVH (a bleeding into
the brain's ventricular system, where the cerebrospinal fluid is produced and circulates through towards the
subarachnoid space. It can result from physical trauma).
Record review of a progress note dated 1/21/23 for Resident #186 indicated that he passed away on
1/21/23 at 9:23 am.
During an interview with DON on 7/11/23 at 4:00 pm, she said that she was not employed by this facility at
that time but that she was employed by hospice services on 1/16/23. She said she had started as the
facility DON in February 2023. She said she had come to the facility to assess Resident #186 on 1/16/23
and she noticed a change from his baseline, and he was unresponsive. She said she was unable to reach a
family member to see what they wanted to do, so she had him sent out to the emergency room. She said in
cases where she could not reach family members regarding hospice residents, she would use nursing
judgement and sent out for evaluation. She said that any resident that suffered a fall with possible head
injury should be sent out for evaluation.
During an interview with Resident #186's family member on 7/11/23 at 4:34 pm, she said that the facility did
notify her of the fall on 1/16/23 and that she had told them to send him to the ER if they thought he needed
to go. She said she was under the impression that the nurse would use her judgement to decide if he
needed to go. She said if she had known the severity of the situation, she would have insisted they send
him out. She said once he was in the ICU at the hospital, the doctors there told her that he had five brain
bleeds and there was nothing they could do. She said before the fall, he had been active and alert, he just
was unable to speak due to a stroke. She said she had him sent back to the nursing facility because the
hospital said they could not do anything for the bleeding on his brain.
During an interview with physician office staff on 7/12/23 at 9:00 am, surveyor was informed that physician
was not currently in office, but staff could take a message. Message left with return phone number for
physician to call regarding incident on 1/16/23. No return call received from physician before exit from
facility.
During an interview with LVN L on 7/12/23 at 10:18 am, she said she had worked for the facility from
November of 2022 to March of 2023. She said she had worked days in the unit and was working the day of
the fall. She said she had been at the nurse's station and was notified by a CNA of the resident's fall. She
said she did an assessment and took vital signs on Resident #186. She said around 3:30 pm, he was found
laying on the floor and had been trying to get up on his own without assistance. She said that he fell in his
room while ambulating unassisted, and he pointed to the bathroom to

indicate he was trying to go to the bathroom. She said he had a gash on his forehead on the right side. She
said she called the hospice nurse, and the DON at the time. She said the DON at that time came back to
the unit and assessed the resident, cleaned his wound, and put steri-strips in place. She said he was not
sent to the hospital. She said she was monitoring him every 30 minutes and the wound was still bleeding.
She said she notified hospice again about the bleeding. She said she was doing neurological checks,
checking pupils with her penlight, and checking his grips. She said his grips were strong. She said his
pupils were not dilated; they were normal at 2mm. She said he was moving around a lot, acting restless,
moaning, and groaning. She said she worked until 6 pm that evening. She said she had called and spoke to
his wife and explained about the fall. She said their protocol was to notify hospice regarding incidents with
any hospice residents and hospice would instruct on what to do. She said there were no in services done
regarding the incident.
During an interview with LVN C on 7/12/23 at 3:00 pm, she said she had called the hospice the night
Resident #186 fell because she had wanted to send him to the emergency room due to the wound
continuing to bleed, but hospice said that they were against sending him out unless the wife wanted to send
him out. She said she spoke to a family member and notified them of his condition regarding the contusion
and that it continued to bleed, but she said to just monitor him for now. She said she did not notify the
physician because it was their policy to just notify hospice for hospice residents.
Record review of a facility policy titled Falls - Clinical Protocol dated 2001, with revision date of March,
2018, indicated .the nurse shall assess and document/report the following: .recent injury, especially fracture

injury until the resident is stable and delayed complications such as .subdural hematoma have been ruled
out or resolved .
Record review of a facility policy titled Change in a Resident's Condition or Status dated 2001, with revision
date of February 2021 indicated .the nurse will notify the resident's attending physician or physician on call
when there has been a(an): .need to transfer the resident to a hospital/treatment center .

notified. The Administrator was provided with the IJ template on 07/12/23 at 11:30 am.
On 7/13/23 at 3:35 pm, the facility was informed the IJ was removed. However, the facility remained out of
compliance at a severity level of actual harm with a scope of isolated due to the facility's need to monitor
and evaluate the effectiveness of their plan of removal and corrective actions.
