An intervention, revised 5/23/24, was to provide two staff assistance with a stand-up lift with transfers on and off the shower chair for safety. The 8/10/25 Change of Condition evaluation indicated she had warmth and swelling to her left leg/knee area, and it was painful to touch. Her pain level, on a scale of one to ten, was a five. She needed more assistance with activities of daily living and had a decline in transferring. The 8/13/25 follow up reportable incident and investigative file was provided by the DON (Director of Nursing) on 8/18/25 at 12:20 p.m. The 8/13/25 follow up reportable indicated, on 8/10/25 at 2:01 p.m., Resident B was noted to have swelling and pain to her left leg. An x-ray was taken and indicated an acute oblique distal femur fracture. She was sent to the emergency room for further evaluation, and an investigation was initiated. The follow-up section indicated, Based on investigation findings, injury occurred during transfer. Staff member educated on appropriate transfer. The investigative file included the 8/10/25 x-ray of her left femur. The impressions were an acute displaced distal femur fracture.An interview was conducted with the DON on 8/18/25 at 12:36 p.m. She indicated Resident B had a prosthetic knee and they thought her knee somehow twisted when transferred into the stand- up lift by CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) 2. CNA 2 transferred Resident B several times that day, once from bed into her wheelchair to go to the dining room for breakfast, once from her wheelchair into the shower chair in the shower room, again from the shower chair back into her wheelchair, and from her wheelchair back into bed. Afterwards, she had swelling and pain to her knee. CNA 3 was also present for transfers during the shower. Resident B had dementia and was unable to inform them of what happened. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 4 was the nurse present that day, who assessed Resident B. An interview was conducted with CNA 2 on 8/19/25 at 10:58 a.m. She indicated Resident B required two-person assistance to transfer using the stand-up lift. On 8/10/25, she transferred her in the morning, during her shower, and into bed after the shower. CNA 3 assisted CNA 2 with the transfers by helping to support Resident B while being transferred. Resident B was weak during the morning transfer and then vomited in the dining room during breakfast. She and CNA 3 assisted her into the shower. After returning her to bed, CNA 2 informed LPN 4 that Resident B's left leg did not look the same as her right leg. Resident B did not have the ability to really move herself without assistance. If she were to have fallen, she would have needed assistance to get up. CNA 2 thought Resident B had an accident, but she did not think it happened on her shift. An interview was conducted with LPN 4 on 8/18/25 at 1:34 p.m. She indicated Resident B required two-person assistance to transfer using the stand-up lift. They needed two staff for safety reasons, so one could guide the resident and the other to lift her up, as both maneuvered the resident during the lift. She did not assist with any transfers of Resident B on 8/10/25. She was walking with another resident by the shower room. CNA 2 called her name, so LPN 4 peaked her head into the shower room and saw CNA 2 hooking Resident B up to the stand-up lift by herself. LPN 4 only saw CNA 2 in the shower room at this time. Resident B did not appear to be in pain when she saw her in the shower room. Soon afterwards, CNA 2 requested she come to Resident B's room to look at her left leg. Resident B's left leg was sore, as she flinched back and said ouch, when LPN 4 touched it. She did not know who, if anyone was involved in Resident B's transfer back into bed after the shower. An interview was conducted with CNA 3 on 8/18/25 at 2:04 p.m. She indicated Resident B required two-person assistance to transfer using the stand-up lift.

The 4/8/25 Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment indicated she was cognitively intact. An interview was conducted with Resident 4 in her room on 6/3/25 at 10:37 a.m. She opened her mouth, pointed to a front, bottom tooth and indicated the tooth needed to come out. She saw a dentist about a year ago, and they were supposed to take it out, but never did. The 1/17/23 physician's order indicated she may be seen by the dentist. The 6/26/23 dental care plan, last revised 1/10/25, indicated she had oral/dental health problems due to some missing teeth. The goal was for her to be free of chewing problems, infection, pain, and/or bleeding in the oral cavity. An intervention was to coordinate arrangements for dental care and transportation as needed/ordered. The 10/13/23 dental note indicated she had natural dentition with root tips and fractures noted. Recommendations for follow-up were exams and cleanings with up to three hygiene visits during the next six months. The first visit to be completed within ninety days. There was no information in the clinical record to indicate any follow-up exams or cleanings were done during the six months following her 10/13/23 dental visit. An interview was conducted with the SSD (Social Services Director) on 6/4/25 at 2:00 p.m. She indicated she spoke with their dental provider and was informed Resident 4's insurance was canceled, but she was now eligible to be seen again, so the provider would be sending a new consent form for her to be seen at their next visit. She was unsure what happened, but they were taking care of it. On 6/5/25 at 10:23 a.m., the NC (Nurse Consultant) provided the 5/15/24 dental note from an outside provider. It indicated the recommended and discussed course of treatment was for extraction of three teeth. The treatment plan was presented by the business assistant and signed by Resident 4. The next visit was for extractions after medication consultation. The 5/15/24 social services note, written by the SSD as a late entry, indicated Resident went to an outside dentist today. The treatment plan includes the extraction of 3 teeth (1 broken and 2 loose). However, the resident only wants the broken tooth out. She states that she will let the 2 loose teeth fall out on their own. She was educated on the need to extract but still wanted only the broken tooth out. Dentist will call and schedule appointment for the procedure. There was no information in the clinical record to indicate follow-up with the dentist after the 5/15/24 teeth extraction recommendations. An interview was conducted with the Practice Manager of the outside dental provider, who saw Resident 4 on 5/15/24. She indicated they never heard back from Resident 4's physician after they sent out a medical clearance form for contraindications to hold blood thinner medication for the extractions. They sent the form three times but never got a response from the physician. The facility also never reached out to them after Resident 4's 5/15/24 appointment. An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 6/5/25 at 10:42 a.m. She indicated Resident 4 did not want to follow through with the extractions recommended at her 5/15/24 appointment, because she thought it would ruin her appearance.

Based on interview and record review, the facility administered a resident his antipsychotic medication in excessive dosage for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medication. (Resident H) Findings include: The clinical record for Resident H was reviewed on 5/21/24 at 1:50 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, psychotic disorder with delusions, major depression, and dementia. The psyche (psychiatric/psychological) services care plan, revised 6/23/23, indicated he received services through the facility's provider related to major depression, psychotic disorder, and dementia. An intervention was medication management though the facility's provider. An interview was conducted with Family Member 11 on 5/21/24 at 1:57 p.m. She indicated she thought Resident H was receiving too many psychotropic medications at the facility. He had a medication change regarding one of his antipsychotic medications earlier this year, but the facility never notified her of the change. The 2/9/24 psyche note read, Resident has a history of delusions and agitation, none noted today. Continue Risperdal 0.5 mg twice daily. Continue to monitor for new or worsening delusions or behaviors. The 2/9/24 physician orders indicated to administer two 0.25 mg tablets (0.5 mg total) of Risperdal two times a day, starting 2/9/24. The electronic health record indicated Resident H received 0.5 mg of Risperdal 3 times a day between 2/10/24 and 2/15/24. An interview was conducted with the DON on 5/23/24 at 12:52 p.m. She indicated there was no verification the facility notified Family Member 11 of Resident H's 2/9/24 Risperdal medication change. They probably called Family Member 11 to inform her, but she was likely unavailable, and the call was not documented. The 2/16/24 Note To Attending Physician/Prescriber indicated Resident H had been taking Risperidone 0.75 mg in the morning and 0.5 mg in the evening. On 2/9/24, a provider progress note indicated a plan to decrease Risperidone to 0.5 mg BID (twice daily.) The 0.75 mg morning order was discontinued and a new order for 0.5 mg twice daily was added, but the existing 0.5 mg evening order remained active in the facility's electronic health record. This resulted in a current dose of 0.5 mg three times daily which was not intended. Recommend immediate update of [name of electronic health record] orders to match provider intended order of 0.5 mg BID. The 2/23/24 physician/prescriber response section of the note read, Risperdal dose corrected to 0.5 mg bid. An interview was conducted with the DON (Director of Nursing) on 5/24/24 at 11:11 a.m. She indicated on 2/9/24 she entered a new Risperdal order of 0.5 mg twice daily, discontinued the 0.75 mg morning order for Risperdal, but did not discontinue the 0.5 mg evening order of Risperdal. The 2/9/24 Risperdal change should have been a decrease, but in error, it was an increase. The Use of Psychotropic Medication policy was provided by the DON on 5/24/24 at 12:57 p.m. It read, Residents are not given psychotropic drugs unless the medication is necessary to treat a specific condition, as diagnosed and documented in the clinical record, and the medication is beneficial to the resident, as demonstrated by monitoring and documentation of the resident's response to the medication(s). 3.1-48(a)(1)

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure all falls and associated follow-up related to each fall, were documented in the clinical record, a thorough post-fall investigation was conducted, including, but were not limited to, verification of following the current care plan interventions were implemented for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for falls. (Resident B and D) Findings include: 1. The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 7-20-23 at 12:04 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Huntington's disease and dementia. Her most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 6-19-23, indicated she was non-verbal, had short-term and long-term memory problems and was severely cognitively impaired; was non-ambulatory and used a wheelchair for mobility, she required extensive assistance of two or more persons to totally dependent for all activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, turning and repositioning, toileting and mobility. A fall risk assessment, dated 4-25-23, identified this resident as a moderate fall risk on 4-25-23. An updated fall risk assessment, dated 7-3-23, post-fall, identified this resident as a high fall risk. Resident B's clinical record indicated on 7-2-23 at 11:30 a.m., Writer was called by staff that patient is on the floor. Found patient lying on her left side close to bed. [sic] upon assessment, hematoma [bruise] noted on left forehead and scratch on left knee. Alert and able to move all extremities. Ice pack applied on forehead, first aid performed on left knee. prn [as needed] Tylenol given. On call NP [nurse practitioner], daughter and DON [Director of Nursing] made aware. Neuro check [neurological exam] initiated. A review of the fall by the Interdisciplinary Team was conducted the next day, which identified fall mat not down and bed was not in the lowest position, as a contributing factor to the unwitnessed fall. A facility document, identified as an incident report, and specified to be, Privileged and Confidential - not a part of the Medical Record, was provided by the facility as a part of the facility's investigation for Resident B. It indicated the unwitnessed fall occurred on 7-2-23 at 9:30 a.m. It indicated Resident B was found by RN 7, after notification by an unspecified CNA, lying on the floor on her left side and close to her bed. It indicated Resident B was assessed to have a hematoma on her left forehead and a scratch to her left knee, but was alert and able to move her extremities and notifications were made to her daughter, the nurse practitioner on call and the DON. It indicated neurochecks were initiated and no injuries post investigation. Predisposing factors identified were confusion, impaired memory and incontinence. A review of the post-fall neurochecks for Resident B indicated she was neurologically stable for 72 hours post-fall. In an interview with a family member on 7-21-23 at 11:01 a.m., she indicated a sibling had been notified by the facility of Resident B's fall on the morning of 7-2-23. She specified it had been a long-term intervention that her mom's bed was to be left in the lowest position and with the floor mat in place whenever someone is not directly working with her. She added in the fall notification, the facility stated Resident B had been found on the floor, with no floor mat in place and the bed was not in the lowest position. She indicated the facility had not provided clear information on how this happened or who was responsible. She elaborated she arrived after the fall and was with her mother from about 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and she had taken multiple pictures of her mother's facial and shoulder bruising from the fall. She shared Resident B had been care planned for some time for her to be gotten up for all meals and fed in her broda chair. The day of the fall, she learned Resident B was still in bed and fed breakfast in bed around 9:00 a.m. The main reason for this is that she is a choking risk, because of her Huntington's diagnosis. The family member noted the signs on her mother's wall, related to be gotten up in the morning and to eat all meals in her chair and a turning schedule appeared the next day (7-3-23) and was informed the DON had put those in place. She added on the day of the fall, but after the fall, she observed a male staff member transfer her mother and he scooped her up and held her like you would a baby to move her.

I fed her with the bed in low position, as usual, and the side rails were in the up position. The side rails were not padded at that time. I lowered the head of the bed some, not flat, when I finished feeding her. I found out about her falling from the nurse, [name of RN 7], before lunch time. I left [name of Resident B] right after I fed her to go work with my patients. Nothing was mentioned to me about how she was found. I had not moved the floor mat beside her bed when I fed her, because there's not a reason to. CNA 4 was not scheduled to work during the survey. Attempts to contact CNA 4 by telephone were unsuccessful. An investigation note, signed by the DON and dated 7-3-23, indicated CNA 4, stated he was scheduled to get resident in question up for the morning; he stated when he left resident's bedside, the nurse and a CNA was there.
