SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Create and put into place a plan for meeting the resident's most immediate needs within 48 hours of being admitted NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure licensed nursing staff revised a fall care plan for one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) after Resident 1's fall on 1/4/2025, 7/28/2025, 4/30/2025, and 7/28/2025.These deficient practices resulted in Resident 1 not having effective interventions in place to minimize future falls and injuries, placing Resident 1 at risk for future falls.
Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including paranoid schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought) and bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs).During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated 10/3/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had fluctuating capacity to understand and make decisions.During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 8/28/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognitive skills for daily decision making were moderately impaired (ability to think and reason).
The MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision from staff for activities of daily living such as eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, dressing, shower/bathing and personal hygiene.During a review of Resident 1's fall care plan, dated 12/3/2024, the care plan indicated Resident 1 fell on 1/4/2025, 1/10/2024, 4/30/2025, and 7/28/2025.
The care plan indicated the interventions were not revised after Resident 1's falls.During a review of Resident 1's Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation (SBAR- a communication tool used by healthcare workers when there is a change of condition among the residents), dated 7/28/2025, the SBAR form indicated Resident 1 had a witnessed fall on 7/28/2025.During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/15/2025 at 12:27 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, Resident 1's care plan for falls, dated 12/3/2024, was reviewed.
The care plan indicated on 1/4/2025, 1/10/2025, and 4/30/2025, the care plan's interventions were not revised after Resident 1 had a fall. LVN 1 stated care plans must be revised after every fall and new interventions must be developed. LVN 1 stated if a care plan was not revised after a fall, there would be no additional interventions to minimize Resident 1's falls.During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/15/2025 at 1:10 p.m. with Registered Nurse (RN) 1, Resident 1's care plan for falls, dated 7/28/2025, was reviewed.
The care plan indicated Resident 1 had a fall on 7/28/2025 and interventions were not developed. RN 1 stated the care plan was incomplete because interventions were not developed to minimize falls or injuries from a fall.During a concurrent interview and record review on 10/15/2025 at 3 p.m. with RN 1, Resident 1's care plan for falls, dated 12/3/2024, was reviewed.
The care plan indicated on 1/4/2025, 1/10/2025 and 4/30/2025, Resident 1 had a fall, and the care plan interventions were not revised. RN 1 stated interventions had to be developed after every fall because the last intervention did not work. RN 1 stated this practice was unsafe for Resident 1 because the previous interventions did not work to prevent another fall and Resident 1 needed new interventions to minimize falls.During a review of facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Falls and Fall Risk, Managing, dated 4/2018, the P&P indicated if a fall reoccurs despite initial interventions, staff will implement additional or different interventions, or indicate why the current approach remains relevant.
The P&P indicated staff would implement a resident centered fall prevention plan to reduce the specific risk factors of falls for each resident at risk or with a history of falls.
The P&P indicated if the resident continues to fall, staff will re-evaluate the situation and determine if whether it is appropriate to continue or change current interventions.
