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 the interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its fall occurrence policy by not conducting a post-fall investigation to determine the reasonable cause of the fall and reviewing the fall care plan with new interventions.

This applies to one of three residents (R2) reviewed for falls in a sample of 14.The findings include:R2 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with an admitting diagnosis including dementia, hemiplegia, hemiparesis, heart failure, and urinary tract infection (UTI).A review of the fall log and nursing progress notes documented that the two falls occurred to R2 on 10/30/25 and 11/7/25.On 12/24/25 at 12:25 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/Fall coordinator) stated, I am the one investigating after a resident fall and then revising the fall care plan with new interventions. I don't have the post-fall investigation completed for R2 for the falls on 10/30 and 11/7. I know I am supposed to investigate and update the fall care plan with new interventions based on the root cause of the fall.A review of R2's fall care plan indicates any revisions with new interventions to prevent further falls following the falls on 10/30/25 and 11/7/25.A review of the facility presented the Fall Occurrence policy reviewed on 6/30/25 document:5.

The fall coordinator will review the incident report and may conduct his/her own fall investigation to determine the reasonable cause of the fall8.

The fall coordinator will add the interventions to the resident's care plan.
