She said after the fall on 9/14/2024 they were instructed by the DON to make more frequent rounding and make sure he was visible. She said she did not update Resident #1's care plan after the last two falls. She said care plans should be updated to ensure interventions are documented and put in place. The ADON said the MDS nurses take the workload and update the care plans and the ADMIN said a Corp. MDS nurse would update care plans since a MDS nurse quit last week (9/11/24 or 9/12/24). She said it was her understanding MDS A and MDS B would update care plans. She said she was not told it was her responsibility to update the care plan. She said Resident #1's last two falls were discussed in the morning meeting on 9/16/2024 with the IDT. The ADON said MDS A, MDS B and DON were in the morning meeting held on 9/16/2024. She said interventions were discussed related to Resident #1 with the IDT. She said she expected MDS A and MDS B to update Resident #1's care plan interventions.

MDS would monitor after the MDS nurse quit. She said Resident #1's fall interventions should have been update by care management (MDS A and MDS B). She said after a fall the IDT, which consisted of nurses, MDS nurses, DON and ADON, should discuss if interventions should be modified or new ones implemented. She said interventions were discussed in the morning meeting (9/16/2024) and the care management team was present. The DON said the care plan interventions should be updated so they can be seen in the cna's point of care. She said the care plan interventions should have been specific to Resident #1's needs after his two recent falls. She said Resident #1's care plan was not updated after the falls or the morning meeting (9/16/2024) where his falls were discussed. She said Resident #1 was at risk of injury because his interventions were not available to facility staff. She said the interventions she gave to LVN A and LVN B after Resident #1's falls were to monitor him closer and frequently. Interview on 9/17/2024 at 2:23 p.m. the ADMIN said the Corp. MDS was supposed to take over for the MDS nurse that quit. She said the Corp. MDS kept in contact with the care management team (MDS A and MDS B) by email.

Interview on 9/18/2024 at 12:36 p.m. the ADMIN said there was not a time frame to update the care plan. She said she was not able to answer when an intervention needed to be updated and that would be a question for the DON and nursing staff. She said the issue with Resident #1 happened over the past weekend and they were not able to update the care plan. She said Resident #1's care plan was not updated after his fall, but the staff should have verbally communicated any new interventions put in place after the falls.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some plan. She said resident care plans should be a working document to mitigate what happened. She said Resident #1's care plan should be individualized to address his falls in his room and outside of his room. She said she was not the responsible for taking over for the MDS nurse that quit. Interview on 9/18/2024 at 1:51 p.m. with the Corp. MDS B said she was a traveling MDS nurse and helped out 1 to 2 days a week when needed at a facility. She said care plans are blueprints of what the resident needs. She said an acute issue, like a recent fall, should have been updated by the facility MDS nurses. She said her responsibility was to help update quarterly and annual care plans. Observation and Interview on 9/18/2024 at 3:45 p.m. revealed Resident #1 was lying in bed and his bed was not in the low position. CNA B said she was not sure why the bed was not in the low position. She said Resident #1 may have used the remote control for the bed. She removed the bed remote that was wedged between the mattress and bed frame. She said Resident #1 has used the remote before, but she had not notified a nurse of this behavior. She said the bed should be in the low position because Resident #1 is a high fall risk. Interview on 9/19/2024 at 12:34 p.m. the DON said Resident #1 was discussed in the morning meeting on 9/16/2024. She said a different wheelchair was discussed but was ruled it out because it would have been restrictive. She said a helmet was discussed but ruled out because they felt he would not wear it. She said they had not tried deterring him from pulling up on the handrails by not sitting him on the hall next to the handrails. She said the care management team (MDS nurses) should have updated the care plan right there in the meeting, but it was missed. She said she thought the failure happened over the weekend and she was not on her computer, so she provided verbal interventions. She said she told staff to monitor Resident #1 more frequently and that meant more rounding than the normal every 2 hours. She said the care plan was not updated timely for the interventions to care over to the CNAs POC, which would have made them aware of fall interventions for Resident #1. Interview on 9/19/2024 at 7:30 p.m. with LVN B, said CNA C notified her Resident #1 was in his room, fell forward out of his wheelchair, fell on the floor and hit his head (on 9/14/2024). LVN B said she went to the Resident #1's room and he had a tear on his right elbow, skin tear to his fifth digit, an abrasion to his right thigh and top of his head. LVN B said the DON told her to fill out the incident report, fall assessment and treat his injuries. LVN B said she was not instructed to update Resident #1's care plan. LVN B said the DON instructed her to complete additional rounding (q 4 hours) and add a fall mat. She said she did not update Resident #1's interventions. LVN B said care management (MDS nurses) was responsible for updating the care plans. Interview on 9/19/2024 at 12:47 a.m. with MDS A said Resident #1's care plan was not updated until 9/18/2024 after surveyor intervention. She said the care plan interventions are carried over to the POC for CNAs to have access as to what the interventions were. She said the intervention was to keep Resident #1 at the nurses' station while he was awake so the nurse could see him.

She said Resident #1's last two falls were discussed in the morning meeting on 9/16/2024 with the IDT. The ADON said MDS A, MDS B and DON were in the morning meeting held on 9/16/2024. She said interventions were discussed related to Resident #1 with the IDT. She said she expected MDS A and MDS B to update Resident #1's care plan interventions. She said care plan interventions for Resident #1 should have been updated to address his recent falls and Resident #1's behavior of pulling up on handrails. She said the interventions are carried over to the cna's plan of care after the care plan is updated. Interview on 9/17/2024 at 2:06 p.m. with the DON said she was aware of Resident #1's last two falls. She said she was notified and instructed the staff to monitor him more frequently. She said Resident #1 should have had fall mat placed on the side of his bed. She said she could not explain why the mat was not there. Surveyor explained earlier observations revealed Resident #1 did not have a mat while he laid in bed. She said she was not sure why he did not have a mat and they would put one out. She said a helmet was not considered because, Resident #1 did not like to take off his caps. She said another type of wheelchair was not considered because the IDT felt it would be restrictive. She said Resident #1's care plan was not updated after the falls or the morning meeting (9/16/2024) where his falls were discussed. She said Resident #1 was at risk of injury because his interventions were not available to facility staff. Interview on 9/17/2024 at 3:08 p.m. with CNA A (via contracted Spanish interpreter) said she was Resident #1's aide. She said she was not told he had two falls during the past weekend. She said she was not informed of any updates to Resident #1's interventions. She said there was not a mat placed at the bedside earlier in the morning when the resident was in the bed. She said a mat was placed at Resident #1 bedside today at approximately 2:00 p.m. She said she would check in the POC for any new updates related to resident interventions and she did not see new fall interventions for Resident #1. Interview on 9/18/2024 at 1:22 p.m. with the Corp. MDS A nurse said she reviewed Resident #1's care plan and said it needed to be cleaned up and we should have showed each fall that occurred. She said resident care plans should be a working document to mitigate what happened. She said Resident #1's care plan should be individualized to address his falls in his room and outside of his room. She said she was not aware that Resident leaned out of his chair on both falls and that he pulls himself up when he is positioned along the handrails in the hallways. Interview on 9/18/2024 at 1:51 p.m. with the Corp. MDS B said she was a traveling MDS nurse and helped out 1 to 2 days a week when needed at a facility. She said care plans are blueprints of what the resident needs. She said an acute issue, like a recent fall, should have been updated by the facility MDS nurses. Interview on 9/18/2024 at 2:40 p.m. with LVN A, said she worked with Resident #1 while he ate lunch on 9/15/2024. She said Resident #1 leaned forward and pushed back from the table, which was his normal behaviors. She said this was his normal behavior.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some yelled out his head hurts. She said she was not told to update Resident #1's care plan. She said she was told by the DON keep a closer eye on him, which meant to keep him in our eyesight. She said Resident #1's leaning was not new, but it was more exaggerated. She said she was aware Resident #1 had a fall the day prior but was not told about new or updated interventions in his care plan. She said his normal interventions were to anticipate his needs and follow the fall protocol. She said the ADON said we needed to update his care plan because this behavior was not new, but it was more frequent. LVN A said the DON and ADON was responsible for updating the care plans. Interview on 9/18/2024 at 3:12 p.m. with Resident #1's PCP, said she was notified Resident #1 had a fall on 9/14 and he was in his wheelchair, had a hematoma to his head and the nurse [LVN B] said the hematoma was expanding. The PCP said she was at the facility when Resident #1 had the second fall on 9/15/2024 around lunch time. She said he had a raised bump on his head. She said he had tears rolled down his face. She said she observed him today (9/18/2024) in his wheelchair trying to get up using the hand railing. She said she was not sure who updated the care plans but said it was important to include behaviors that caused a risk to the resident's safety and to implement interventions to help to prevent injuries. Observation and Interview on 9/18/2024 at 3:45 p.m. revealed Resident #1 was lying in bed and his bed was not in the low position. CNA B said she is not sure why the bed was not in the low position. She said Resident #1 may have used the remote control for the bed. She removed the bed remote that was wedged between the mattress and bed frame. She said Resident #1 has used the remote before, but she had not notified a nurse of this behavior. She said the bed should be in the low position because Resident #1 is a high fall risk. An interview was attempted on 9/18/2024 at 4:22 p.m. with LVN B by phone. Interview on 9/19/2024 at 8:35 a.m. with Therapy Director said all residents are evaluated after every fall. She said due to Resident #1's cognition, he could not learn new things and the therapy performed would maintain skills he had. She said he had poor safety awareness. She said he required queuing because he will attempt to get up, and it is not safe for him to do so. She said therapy was not effective for preventing fall for Resident #1 and it was for maintenance. Interview on 9/19/2024 at 7:30 p.m. with LVN B, said CNA C notified her Resident #1 was in his room, fell forward out of his wheelchair, fell on the floor and hit his head (on 9/14/2024). LVN B said she went to the Resident #1's room and he had a tear on his right elbow, skin tear to his fifth digit, an abrasion to his right thigh and top of his head. LVN B said the DON told her to fill out the incident report, fall assessment and treat his injuries. LVN B said she was not instructed to update Resident #1's care plan. LVN B said the DON instructed her to complete additional rounding (q 4 hours) and add a fall mat. She said she did not update Resident #1's interventions.
