Inspection Findings

FF0689
Quality of Life and Care Deficiencies
Potential for More Than Minimal Harm

identified or implemented, stating they did not believe the fall occurred because the resident would not have been able to get off the floor without assistance. C. A record review of Resident 2's Face Sheet revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident 2 had diagnoses of dementia, hemiplegia (one-side paralysis), and weakness. A record review of Resident 2's MDS, dated [DATE], revealed the resident had a BIMS score of 5/15, which indicated sever cognitive impairment. Resident 2 required full assistance with toileting and dressing. Resident 2 also required moderate assistance with bed mobility and transfers. A record review of an Event Report for Resident 2 with a date of 7/8/2025 revealed the resident was self-ambulating to the bathroom when they bent down to retrieve a tissue from the floor and lost their balance, resulting in a fall.

The intervention implemented was the application of gripper socks while ambulating.

There was no evidence of a root cause analysis beyond balance was conducted or additional fall prevention interventions were developed to address the mobility deficit. An interview on 8/27/2025 at 10:45 AM with the NHA and DON revealed that the root cause of Resident 2's fall on 7/8/2025 was identified as a loss of balance and underlying weakness.

The NHA and DON confirmed the fall was unwitnessed, and since it was unclear whether the loss of balance was related to the resident's foot slipping, no additional interventions beyond gripper socks were developed or implemented.

Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken by the facility are encouraged to contact the facility or their state survey agency directly.

Corrections may have been made: This report reflects conditions observed on the date of the survey. The facility may have implemented staffing changes, additional training, policy revisions, or other corrective actions since this report was issued.
