The nursing home “failed to ensure residents were free from accident hazards and received adequate supervision to prevent accidents. Specifically, the facility failed to ensure neurological assessments were initiated, completed and followed up on after each fall for [one resident].”
The nursing home also failed to “initiate and implement interventions [that] prevent further falls for [the resident]., Update the resident’s Care Plan after each fall with new interventions, ensure sidewalks were not hazardous to residents requiring assistive devices, and ensure that the electrical room door was locked to prevent easy access.”
The investigative team reviewed the resident’s June 16, 2018 MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment showing that the resident “had not had a fall since the prior assessment. However, the record revealed that the resident [did have a fall] on May 19, 2018, with injuries.”

Specifically, the facility failed to ensure residents were informed of [medications] with Black Box warnings.” The facility also failed to involve resident or their representatives in decision-making regarding medication use.”
The nursing home did not “assess and monitor targeted behaviors, nonpharmacological interventions, and pain versus behavior symptoms for [one resident].” The facility also “failed to ensure medications were not left on the floor.”

Specifically, “the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection control program that included surveillance of the facility’s infections, which would ensure the use of antibiotics were appropriate; and adequately trained staff on infection control practices.”
