- Failure to Ensure the Nursing Home Area Remained Free of Accident Hazards and Risks and Provides Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F323 date July 27, 2017
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to perform a root cause analysis [to] reduce falls for [2 residents] reviewed for falls.” Additionally, “the facility failed to implement a system to ensure toilet safety frames were maintained in a safe manner for [19 residents] reviewed for loose toilet safety frames.”
One investigation involved a severely, cognitively impaired resident who “requires extensive assist of one for transfers and was unsteady when moving was seated to standing position and transfer between bed and chair or wheelchair.” The resident’s Care Area Assessment identified the resident as “a potential for falls with difficulty maintaining sitting balance and impaired balance during transitions with one fall since admission without injury.”
The medical records indicated that the resident “had an actual fall with no injury related to decreased mobility, cognitive deficits, and impaired safety awareness. The Care Plan directed the staff to ensure that the resident was wearing grip or socks, did not wear shoes, check with the resident as staff passed by and asked him if he needs anything.”
On July 26, 2017 at 1:24 PM, the resident “was in bed when his alarm [use to alert the staff] sounded. At 1:30 PM, the staff assisted [the resident] into a chair next to the nurse’s station by the Registered Nurse (RN).”
Seven minutes later at 1:37 PM, the resident “was observed on the floor lying on his left side next to the chair.” The RN asked the resident “if he was trying to get up by himself [and the resident stated that] he was.” A few minutes later, the resident “was asked what happened. The resident replied that “he did not know where he was going.”
On May 12, 2017, the incident report indicated that a visitor found the resident “on the floor lying on his right side in front of the dresser in his room.”
