was lying with her face down on the floor. Resident #1 said it hurt so bad and she was scared she may not
make it. She said she got a bruise on her arm from the fall and her back was hurting worse than it normally
did.

resident, she would tell the DON and the Abuse Coordinator/Administrator. RN A stated fall risk residents
had a band on their wrist. RN A stated she would make sure fall risk residents had their call lights in reach
and would check on them more frequently. If a resident had fallen, she would do assessments of the
resident. If the resident was alright, she would help them up with assistance and continue neuro checks. If
the resident was not alright, she would not move them and 911 would be called. The DON, doctor and
family would be notified of the fall.
Interview on 4/25/24 at 1:54 p.m. with CNA B, she stated if she saw a staff member abusing or neglecting a
resident, she would report it to the administrator. She stated they did abuse/neglect trainings almost every
week. CNA B said fall risk residents would have a fall mat, bed at the lowest level, she would make sure the
resident had the things they needed, and the call light was in reach. CNA B stated if she found a resident
that had fallen, she would call out for a nurse and the nurse would complete assessments on the resident.

asking her to check Resident #1's wound as the bandage was saturated. LVN C started getting her supplies
together when CNA D came back and told her Resident #1 had fallen. LVN C went down to Resident #1's
room and found the resident on the floor. She said the resident did not hit her head on the chair next to her
bed but was holding onto it for dear life. LVN C said Resident #1 should always have 2 CNAs in the room
during care from then on.
Interview on 4/25/24 at 2:11 p.m., CNA D stated she changed Resident #1's brief, had her on her side and
noticed the bandage on her back was saturated. CNA D went to get LVN C to look at resident #1's wound.

she only heard Resident #1 tell her to hurry up. CNA D said she went down the hall to get LVN C and when
she started to come back, CNA B was at Resident #1's doorway saying she fell. CNA D ran back to LVN C's
office and told her Resident #1 had fallen. CNA D said she was talked to by the DON, did trainings with the
ADON and LVN C told them there needed to always be two people in resident #1's room from now on.
