did rounds on because we knew she had these behaviors.On 7/16/2025, I witnessed Resident R2 fall in the common area. Resident R2 was consistently trying to stand up since had gotten up that morning. I was charting at the nurse's station and continuing to walk back and forth to redirect her and have her sit down. I had my back turned and was walking back to the nurses' station when I heard something move. As I turned around, I saw Resident R2 attempt to walk and fall on her right hip.There were two CNA's on duty that early morning, but they were both assisting a resident out of bed that required two-person assistance. We have many residents that require two-person assistance on this unit. This unit typically has a census of 43-50 residents and most of them have dementia and behaviors. I was the one responsible to monitor the residents in the common area at the time since the two CNA's were occupied providing care. However, I do not feel as if this is adequate staffing to properly care for all these residents.Resident R2's Fall Care Plan intervention added on 7/11/2025 shows Resident R2 should be placed in common area while awake for close monitoring.Facility Fall Prevention and Management Policy with last review date of 2/2025 states in part but not limited to the following: The facility will identify and evaluate those residents at risk for falls, plan for preventative strategies, and facilitate as safe an environment as possible. Residents at risk for falls will have fall risk identified on the interim plan of care with interventions implemented to minimize fall risk.
