person-centered care plan to meet each resident's medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs for 1
of 14 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for care plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's fall risk care plan accurately addressed and included a fall mat.

Record review of facility investigation dated 11/12/24 indicated Resident #1's the facility would update
Resident #1's care plan to include fall mat.
During an interview on 12/19/24 at 9:45 a.m., the ADON said Resident #1's diagnoses included
Parkinson's. She said Resident #1 was able to roll herself while lying in bed. She said Resident #1 was at
risk for falls. She said she thought Resident #1's care plan included a fall mat due to previous falls. She said
Resident #1's care plan should have included a fall mat to prevent serious injuries. She said she did not
know why Resident #1's fall risk care plan did not include a fall mat. She said residents were at risk of
serious injuries if fall mats were not in place.
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 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.
Record review of the facility's Safety and Supervision of Resident Policy dated 2001 (revised July 2017)
indicated Our facility strives to make the environment as free from accident hazards as possible. Resident

During an interview on 12/18/24 at 9:45 a.m., the ADON said Resident #1's diagnoses included
Parkinson's. She said Resident #1 was able to roll herself while lying in bed. She said Resident #1 was at
risk for falls. She said she thought Resident #1's care plan included a fall mat due to previous falls. She said
Resident #1's care plan should have included a fall mat to prevent serious injuries. She said she did not
know why Resident #1's fall risk care plan did not include a fall mat. She said residents were at risk of
serious injuries if fall mats were not in place.
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.
Record review of the facility's Safety and Supervision of Resident Policy dated 2001 (revised July 2017)
indicated Our facility strives to make the environment as free from accident hazards as possible. Resident
safety and supervision and assistance to prevent accidents are facility-wide priorities. 4. Implementing
interventions to reduce accident risks and hazards shall include the following: a. Communicating specific
interventions to all relevant staff; b. Assigning responsibility for carrying out interventions; c. Providing
training as necessary; d. Ensuring all interventions are implemented; and e. documenting interventions.
Record review of facility's Managing Falls and Fall Risk policy dated 2001 (revised March 2018) indicated:
Based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's
specific risks and causes to try to prevent the resident from falling and to try and minimize complications
from falling. 6. If underlying causes cannot be readily identified or corrected, staff will try various
interventions, . 7. In conjunction with the attending physician, staff will identify and implement relevant
interventions (e.g., hip padding or treatment of osteoporosis, as applicable) to try and minimize serious
consequences of falling.
