The DON stated Resident 1 was steady on her feet and there had been no other care plan created prior to her current fall on 2/9/2026.
The DON stated Resident 1 was still at risk for falls due to her use of psychotropic medications (a class of prescription drugs designed to affect the mind, emotions, and behavior by altering the chemical balance of neurotransmitters in the brain).
