**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurses were able to demonstrate
competency in assessment related to fall risk for 1 of 23 residents reviewed for fall risk assessments
(Resident # 1).
The facility failed to ensure LVN B was competent to accurately assess fall risks on 04/03/2025 and

assessment tool. After reviewing the assessments, she stated the assessments were not accurate, and that
he was a high fall risk. She stated it was important to complete accurate assessments for the safety of the

that's not right. She stated she expected her nurses to complete accurate assessments because accurate
assessments lead to appropriate interventions and good outcomes. She stated CNA A should ensure
Resident #1's bed was at its lowest position for his safety and per his comprehensive care plan, and CNA A
should have been aware of his fall history. She stated this information was accessible to all CNAs via the
facility's POC system but this was populated from resident assessments so it might not have been
indicated. DON further stated that Resident #1 had no injuries and accidents between April and the recent
diagnoses of fracture, and that he probably obtained the fracture during a previous fall at the facility. She
stated that the interventions the facility have implemented have been effective, but she would re-assess if a
fall mat would be appropriate.
In a follow up interview with the DON on 06/06/2025 at 2:41 PM she stated I think we've done everything to
prevent [Resident #1's] falls. She stated that the fracture appeared to be in the healing stages and was not
an acute injury. She stated she still thought it was a residual injury from the fall in April . She stated she has
now implemented a fall mat for Resident #1 and will work on getting a low low bed. She stated these
interventions were not in place previously but will be in place moving forward to prevent further incidents
and/or injury.
In interview with the facility Administrator on 06/06/2025 at 10:22 AM, she stated she felt the interventions
they had in place for Resident #1 to prevent injury were effective. She stated she was not aware of what
more could be implemented to prevent further falls, incidents, and injury. She stated it was the DON's
responsibility to review each resident's falls and add needed interventions as necessary. She stated she
expected her nurses to complete accurate assessment data and this was the responsibility of the clinical
team led by the DON.
Review of facility policy, Fall Management, rev. 05/05/2023, revealed The facility will identify each resident
who is at risk for falls and will plan care and implement interventions to manage falls . The Fall Risk
Evaluation assists in identifying the appropriate preventative interventions that will be recorded on the
resident's care plan . The care plan reflects individualized interventions that are reassessed and revised as
needed .
Review of facility policy, Care Plan Process, Person Centered Care, rev 05/05/2023, revealed The facility
will develop and implement a baseline and comprehensive care plan for each resident that includes the
instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that meets professional
standards of quality care . Thru ongoing assessment, the facility will initiate person-centered care plans
when the resident's clinical status or change of condition dictates the need such as . falls.
