During an interview on 12/20/24 at 11:01 a.m., the Administrator said Resident #1's care plan should have been updated to include a fall mat.

During an interview on 12/19/24 at 11:07 a.m., CNA C said she was aware Resident #1 was supposed to have a fall mat place adjacent to her bed when she was lying in bed. She said she was trained on which residents were at risk for falls and who required fall mats. She said Resident #1's fall mat was moved away from her bed when Resident #1 was transferred to her Geri-chair because the Geri-chair was hard to move over the fall mat. She said she transferred Resident #1 to bed on 11/08/24 and forgot to put the fall mat next to the bed. She said the fall mat was moved away from the bed but was available. She said residents were at risk of serious injuries if fall mats were not in place. During an interview on 12/19/24 at 12:02 p.m., LVN A said Resident #1 had fallen from her bed on 11/08/24 and sustained a 3 cm laceration above her right eye. She said Resident #1 was assessed with no additional injuries. She said Resident #1 was transferred to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. She said the fall mat was folded up at the end of the bed. She said the fall matt was supposed to be on the floor when Resident #1 was lying in bed. She said Resident #1 returned to the facility with 5 sutures above her right eye. She said residents were at risk of serious injuries if fall mats were not in place. During an interview on 12/20/14 at 8:42 a.m., QA LVN D said Resident #1's care plan was not updated to include a fall mat. She said she did not know why the care plan was not updated to include a fall mat. She said she took over updating care plans June 2024 and Resident #1's care plan update was missed. She said residents were at risk of serious injuries if fall mats were not in place. During an interview on 12/20/24 at 11:01 a.m., the Administrator said Resident #1's care plan should have been updated to include a fall mat. He said it was probably a miscommunication that Resident #1's care plan update to include a fall matt was missed. He said residents were at risk of serious injury if the fall mat interventions were not in place as required per the resident care plan.
