According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing issues, and three out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to follow its policy and a resident’s Plan of Care to ensure adequate supervision was provided for [one resident], who had a high risk for falls, had multiple falls with injuries without close supervision provided and new interventions put into place to further prevent falls and injury.”
A review of the resident’s Admission Record indicated that the resident was conserved (protecting someone who cannot properly provide their own mental, personal needs).” The resident Fall Risk Evaluations from July 5, 2018, through September 7, 2018, “indicated the resident had a fall score greater than twenty. According to the fall risk assessment, a total score of ten or more represent a high risk.” The resident has an unsteady gait but able to stabilize with staff assistance for required supervision with ambulating in the facility.”
The Resident’s Post-Fall Assessment documented at 8:00 PM on August 20, 2018, indicates that the resident was observed “walking in the hallway of the facility when suddenly [the resident] lost her balance and fell.” The staff interventions included educating the resident “on using the call light system for assistance and referred the resident to rehabilitation services for screening for balance status.”
While the resident began ambulating independently on August 14, 2018, she “refused to use a wheelchair and was at risk for repeated falls.”
The resident’s x-ray tests indicated “there was no acute fracture to the left shoulder.” The subsequent Post-Fall Assessment dated September 7, 2018, at 6:30 PM indicated that the resident “had an unsteady gait and mobility and was a high risk for falls and was walking toward the patio when [the resident] suddenly fell.”
A Nurse’s Note dated 2:45 PM on October 20, 2018, indicated that the resident “was found on the floor in her room with left forehead swelling measured 2.0 x 3.0 cm. The note indicated [that the resident stated] she was walking to her bed, lost her balance, and fell to the floor.”
On October 28, 2018, at 2:45 PM, the resident “was found on the floor next to her bed and sustained a 2.0 x 3.0 cm bump to the right side of her forehead.”
