On 08/25/25 at 11:54 AM, CNA M stated Resident R28 was able to transfer himself with staff assistance when he gets shaky. She reported Resident R28 knew when he needed to have a bowel movement and would turn on his call light for staff to walk with him to the bathroom. CNA M stated the resident was at risk for falls when he gets shaky, but he was good about letting the staff know when he needed to walk, and the staff assisted him to prevent him from falling.

On 08/26/25 at 12:36 PM, Administrative Nurse E confirmed Resident R28 was supposed to have a leg bag for urine collection for his catheter because the resident had fallen related to getting tangled in the catheter tubing and collection bag when transferring himself and toileting. She confirmed the care plan conference dated 08/21/25 included the discussion of the resident’s fall and review of the existing interventions.

Administrative Nurse E said the use of a leg bag as a fall intervention was discussed and added to the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) on 08/22/25 to ensure staff would check for the leg bag placement.

On review of the resident’s TAR, she confirmed the staff had signed the leg bag as used from 08/22/25 to current date, but said the leg bag had not been used because the resident refused, though it was not documented. Additionally, she verified the resident’s fall on 08/21/25 lacked a thorough investigation, with an intervention initiated to prevent further falls.

On 08/26/25 at 12:56 PM, Administrative Nurse F confirmed on 08/21/25, staff identified concerns related to the resident’s multiple falls, and interventions were discussed during a care plan conference. She confirmed Resident R28 had a diagnosis of dementia and often forgot to use his call light when going to the bathroom. Administrative Nurse F verified Resident R28's Care Plan included to use a leg bag for the collection of urine from the catheter to prevent the resident from getting tangled in the straight drain urine collection bag and tubing when toileting himself.

On 08/26/25 at 01:10 PM, Administrative Nurse F verified the staff had signed Resident R28's TAR to indicate the resident had the leg bag in place, and he did not have a leg bag in place. She reported the direct care staff confirmed the leg bag had not been used as an intervention to prevent falls since 07/09/25.

The facility policy titled Fall and Fall Risk, Managing F-F689” dated 06/2025, documentation included, “ . based on previous evaluations and current data, the staff will identify interventions related to the resident's specific risks and causes to try and prevent the resident from falling and to try to minimize complications from falling.”
