SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to safely transfer a resident with a mechanical lift following the resident's fall.
This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for falls in the sample of 3.
The findings include: R1's Face Sheet showed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include but not limited to osteopenia (Low bone density), femur fracture, and gait abnormalities. R1's 9/23/25 Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) showed moderate cognitive impairment with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 12 out of 15.
The MDS showed R1 had Range of Motion (ROM) limitations, both upper and lower, to one side of her body.
