During an interview on 11/10/2025 at 02:59 p.m., the RNAC stated the procedure for her knowing if a resident had a fall was to attend the interdisciplinary team meetings in the morning and to review the risk management reports.

She stated for Resident #1, she coded there was no falls, but he did have a fall according to a risk management report. She stated this error would not have impacted Resident #1's care because the staff provide care according to the resident's care plan. During an interview on 11/10/2025 at 04:30 p.m., the DON stated a documentation error on the fall history of a MDS assessment would not impact a resident's care if the interventions for the fall was care-planned.
