What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0689 Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' environment remained free from accident hazards and the residents received adequate supervision and assistance to prevent accidents for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accidents. The facility failed to provide Resident #1 with adequate supervision and fall interventions on [DATE] when Resident #1 fell and received a laceration to the back of his head and a trace subarachnoid hemorrhage of the anterior interhemispheric fissure (a specific pattern of bleeding, often indicating a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery). This failure could place all residents at risk for serious injury and accidents.Findings include: Record review of Resident #1's admission record, dated [DATE], indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male who had diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (a broad term for brain dysfunction caused by non-traumatic, systemic issues like chemical imbalances, organ failure, or infections, rather than direct brain injury), peripheral vascular disease, also known as peripheral artery disease, (a condition that occurs when blood vessels narrow or become blocked, reducing blood flow to the body. Peripheral vascular disease can affect any blood vessel outside of the heart, but it most commonly affects the legs and feet), acute kidney injury (AKI), (the sudden, often reversible loss of kidney function, developing within hours or days. It causes rapid accumulation of urea, creatinine, and fluid, leading to symptoms like decreased urine, swelling, and fatigue), and diabetes (a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood). Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 14 which reflected Resident #1 was cognitively intact and had no functional limitation impairment on both of his lower extremities in range of motion. The MDS also reflected Resident #1 required set-up or clean-up assist for Chair/bed-to-chair transfer: The ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair (or wheelchair) and for Sit to stand: The ability to come to a standing position from sitting in a chair, wheelchair, or on the side of the bed. (-Helper sets up or cleans up; resident completes activity. Helper assists only prior to or following the activity.) Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, dated [DATE] and revised [DATE], indicated he had an ADL self-care performance deficit r/t Mild Cognitive Impairment, Metabolic Encephalopathy. Goal: Resident #1 would express satisfaction with type of activities and level of activity involvement when asked through the review date. Interventions included: TRANSFER: The resident requires set up to touching assistance with transfers X 1 staff. Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, dated [DATE] and revised on [DATE], indicated he had had an actual fall with no injury r/t Unsteady gait. [DATE] - fell attempting to self-transfer, no injury noted. [DATE] - Fell attempting to self-transfer to toilet, no injuries noted. [DATE] - slid out of bed, no injuries noted. [DATE] -fall at beside with abrasion to left pinky knuckle: ST protocol. [DATE] Witnessed fall with no injury. [DATE] fall in room no injuries noted. [DATE] Fall in restroom, bruising to left elbow, skin intact. [DATE] Fall in room, laceration to back of head.

(See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

In an interview on [DATE] at 12:29 PM, FM stated she had no concerns with the facility at all. She stated she was aware of the fall Resident #1 had yesterday morning. She stated she felt the facility was doing all they could to prevent falls and they were assisting him with everything, he is just a hard headed man and won't listen to anybody. She stated he had a history of getting up by himself and he was very impatient and did not want to wait on anyone to come help him so he just did not push the call light. She stated she was at the hospital the whole time with Resident #1 and he could not remember how he fell.

She stated the staff constantly reminded him and warned him all the time about falling and she had heard them do that many times when she was visiting. In an interview on [DATE] at 1:08 PM, the DON stated she was in-servicing staff regularly on abuse and neglect, rounding, falls/fall prevention, and resident rights. She stated if a resident fell, the CNA should get the nurse and the nurse should assess the resident immediately and depending on if there were injuries or not that would determine what they did next.

She stated her expectations for residents that were a fall risk were to make sure they were safe, frequent checks, at least required 2 hour checks, and for staff to follow the interventions put in place such as fall mats. She stated for fall risk residents she would have expected to decrease their falls and increase their safety. She stated she was aware that falls were going to happen but to decrease the severity of the outcomes of the falls would have been her expectation. She stated stricter interventions may have assisted with decreasing the outcomes of falls. In an interview on [DATE] at 2:26 PM, the MD stated he had no concerns for the facility for what they have done to try and prevent falls for the residents. He stated Resident #1 was a stubborn man and he kept transferring without calling for help.

In an interview on [DATE] at 5:06 PM, the ADM stated she was in-servicing staff regularly on abuse and neglect, rounding, falls/fall prevention, and resident rights. She stated if a resident fell, the CNA should get the nurse, and the nurse should go right away and assess the resident for any injuries from head to toe.

She stated staff should be rounding on their residents every 2 hours at least. She stated staffing was good and they used agency as needed. She stated she felt as though the staff could meet the needs of their residents. She stated for fall risk residents she would expect for the resident to feel safe, have decreased falls, and have a decreased severity of injuries for falls that may occur, and she feels it is their responsibility to make sure that happens.
