floor. LVN A said she ensured Resident #1 was breathing, obtained her vitals, notified the physician, called EMS, and then notified the family. LVN A said the time documentation discrepancy for physician notification between the incident report and progress note was her fault. LVN A said she completed her incident report with the correct times and then when she completed her progress noted she clicked 10:30 p.m. for physician notification time. LVN A said she did not realize her mistake until the following day, and it was too late to change the documentation. LVN A said she had 2 issues going at the same time 1 with Resident #1 and another resident in the memory care unit which resulted in the time discrepancies. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 11:17 a.m. the Physician said he was unsure of what time he was contacted by the facility regarding Resident #1 on 7/15/25. The Physician said he knew the facility had woken him up when they called on 7/15/25 to report Resident #1 had fallen. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 11:23 a.m. the DON said the facility did not have a policy regarding accuracy of documentation. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 12:25 p.m. the DON said she expected nursing documentation to reflect a description of what was going on (incident, change of condition, etc.) and the action taken. The DON said time of notifications should be the same on an incident report and progress note. The DON said the importance of accuracy of documentation was to paint an accurate picture of what was going on and the actions taken at the time.
