Interview on 4/17/204 at 1:00pm the DON said the first time Resident #1 fell off the bed they ordered an x-ray and once they had the results, they sent her to the hospital. She said the CNA D had her turned on her side and with the below the knee amputation, she fell off the bed. She said the in-service was only with the CNA D. She said the second time Resident #1 fell off the bed it was with CNA C, she was giving her a bed bath and had her on her side. She said while she was bathing Resident #1, CNA C she stepped away to get a fresh basin of water and when she was in the restroom getting the water Resident #1 cried out and said she was slipping and fell off the bed. She said CNA C had already started the bed bath. She said they only in-serviced the CNAs individually as they were isolated incidents.
Interview on 4/17/24 at 1:03pm CNA C said she had worked at facility since July 2023, she said she had washed Resident #1's front side and had asked her to roll over on her side. She said she noticed the water was dirty, so she was going to walk in the bathroom and change the water out, she said Resident #1 was holding on the rail with her good hand and she was on her side. She said Resident #1 had said she was slipping when she was changing the water out of the basin and when she came back from the bathroom she was already on the floor. She said Resident #1 did not tell me she was going to fall, or I would not have left her. She said Resident #1 was not feeling good that day and wanted a bed bath instead of a shower. She said afterward the ADON called her in the office and instructed her on the correct procedures in a bed bath and not to leave Resident #1 by herself anymore. She said the ADON made her sign a sheet and in-service sheet. She said as far as a bed bath, they discussed with management they don't give Resident #1 bed baths by themselves anymore. She said Resident #1's bed baths should have been with two people. She said anytime she did anything with her from then on, she did it with two people. She said management told them to use two people now. When asked if she knew if Resident #1 had a history of falls with bed baths, she said yes, she did but she said Resident #1 did not feel good and wanted a bed bath. She said she was going to do a shower and had everything set up for that. She said she had been in-serviced prior to that maybe 2 or 3 months ago. She said everybody was in-service with the first fall but with the second fall she was in-service by herself. She said with the first in-service it was a general how to give a resident a bed bath. She said there was no discussion to make Resident #1 a 2-person assist after the first fall; it was only after the second fall. When asked why it was important to have everybody on the same page, she said it was for safety reasons to prevent the falls from happening. She said if it had been made clear before the bed bath Resident #1 was a 2-person assist, it would have been preventable.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 1:58pm the DON said the care plan should have been updated timely after Resident #1's second fall.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 2:24pm CNA D said when Resident #1 fell off the bed on 12/13/2023 she was giving her a bed bath. She said she only determined the level of assistance needed when she was performing a task on her own and realized she could not do it safely without help. She said she would then have called for help from time to time. She said there was nothing on a [NAME] or care plan that she could refer to find out how much assistance she needed to care for a resident, she said a nurse would let them know if a resident needed assistance with feeding.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 2:16pm Resident #1 said the first time she fell she was oily, and the bed was oily. She said she was turned close to the edge of the bed, and she lost her balance and fell out of the bed. She said she could not hold her grip on the bed rails because she was weak. She said she got pushed too close to the edge of the bed, she could not hold her grip and she fell off the bed. She said she did not want the CNAs again because they caused her to fall off the bed. She said she should have had 2 CNAs help her not one. She said when she fell the first time, she broke her hip and they had to repair it at the hospital. She said the second time she fell out of the bed a different CNA was giving her a bed bath. She said the CNA left and went to throw out the bath water and she left her turned on her side. She said she should have never been left on her side like that. She said she could not reposition herself. She said when she fell the second time she landed on her hip. She said she needed a bigger bed mattress as she was too big for the bed and when they turned her, she was at the edge of the bed. She said she had to go to the hospital, but her leg still was not healed from the first fall.
Interview in 4/18/2024 at 9:08am ADON A said she had worked at the facility for a year and a half. She said she did most of the in-services. She said Resident #1 should have been deemed a 2 person assist after the first fall because it's an intervention. No other interventions were put in place. The staff can access the [NAME] (Care Plan for CNA) and it was in their POC (Point of Care) documentation, and they get report, the nurse was supposed to provide the information to them. I'm not sure when it's in the POC if it populates in the [NAME]. I believe Resident #1 should be 2 persons assist. She said the [NAME] pulls from the Care Plan. The [NAME] was the documentation system for the CNAs and the Care plan too. Staff should have known by [NAME] and nursing staff how to provide care for the residents. She said the [NAME] pulls from the Care Plan. The [NAME] was the documentation system for the CNAs and the Care plan too.
Interview on 4/19/24 at 10:22am the DON said the interventions from the IDT (Interdisciplinary Team) meeting they had after Resident #1's first fall were not all put into place for the resident and while receiving bed bath resident rolled off the bed a second time. She said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital and once she returned from hospital there were supposed to be interventions for fall mats placed/wider bed/2 person assist with care, education done with CNA and all staff, falling star identifier. She said Resident #1's second fall happened on 4/1/2024 and the resident was gone for a while, there was a delay and so when Resident #1 was readmitted the interventions didn't all get put in place for the resident. The fall mats, the education for the staff, the falling star identifier, the wider bed and the 2 person staff assist with care and updating the care plan were not put in to place. She said they got missed got missed because Resident #1 was delayed returning to the facility after the second fall. She said Resident #1's family had been looking to send her to another facility.

Interview on 4/17/204 at 1:00pm the DON said the first time Resident #1 fell off the bed they ordered an x-ray and once they had the results, they sent her to the hospital. She said CNA D had her turned on her side and with the BKA she fell off the bed. She said the in-service was only with the CNA D. She said the second time Resident #1 fell off the bed it was with CNA C, she was giving her a bed bath and had her on her side. She said while she was bathing Resident #1, CAN C she stepped away to get a fresh basin of water and when she was in the restroom getting the water Resident #1 cried out, she was slipping and fell off the bed. She said CAN C had already started the bed bath. She said they only in-serviced the CNAs individually as they were isolated incidents.
Interview on 4/17/24 at 1:03pm CNA C said she had worked at facility since July 2023, she said she had washed Resident #1's front side and had asked her to roll over on her side.

She said Resident #1 did not tell me she was going to fall, or I would not have left her. She said Resident #1 was not feeling good that day and wanted a bed bath instead of a shower. She said afterward the ADON called her in the office and instructed her on the correct procedures in a bed bath and not to leave Resident #1 by herself anymore. She said the ADON made her sign a sheet and in-service sheet. She said as far as a bed bath, they discussed with management they don't give Resident #1 bed baths by themselves anymore. She said Resident #1's bed baths should have been with two people. She said anytime she did anything with her from then on she did it with 2 people. She said management told them to use 2 people now. When asked if she knew if Resident #1 had a history of falls with bed baths, she said yes, she did but she said Resident #1 did not feel good and wanted a bed bath. She said she was going to do a shower and had everything set up for that. She said she had been in-serviced prior to that maybe 2 or 3 months ago. She said everybody was in-service with the first fall but with the second fall she was in-service by herself. She said with the first in-service it was a general how to give a resident a bed bath. She said there was no discussion to make Resident #1 a 2 person assist after the first fall; it was only after the second fall. When asked why it was important to have everybody on the same page, she said it was for safety reasons to prevent the falls from happening. She said if it had been made clear before the bed bath Resident #1 was a 2 person assist, it would have been preventable.

She said Resident #1 was not feeling good that day and wanted a bed bath instead of a shower. She said the ADON called her in and told her about the correct procedures in a bed, not to leave her alone anymore and made her sign an in-service sheet. She said as far as a bed bath they discussed with management, and they do not do Resident #1 by themselves anymore, they should be two people. Anytime she does anything with Resident #1 now she does it with 2 people. She said they told us to use 2 people now. When asked if she knew Resident #1 had a history of falls with bed baths, she said yes, she did but she said Resident #1 did not feel good and wanted a bed bath. She said she was going to do a shower and had everything set up for that. She said she had been in-service prior to that maybe 2 or 3 months ago. Everybody was in-service with the first fall. But with the second fall she was in-service by herself. With the first in-service it was a general how to give a resident a bed bath. There was no discussion to make Resident #1 a 2 person assist after the first fall it was only after the second fall. She said it was important for everyone to be on the same page for safety reasons to prevent the falls from happening. She said if had been made clear before the bed bath she was a 2 person assist, it would have been preventable.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 1:58pm the DON said with the first fall, they did in-services only with CNA D and not the other staff, she said with the second fall she did in-services with [NAME]. She said staff had done their minimum yearly competencies and there was no policy on how frequently they had to do in-services. She said they had the Relias system (Training system) and those were the yearly competencies. She said she thought it had included safety. When asked how often training was given on safety when providing care, she said they had done the monthly infection control. She said Resident #1's bed baths were two persons as of this last fall. She said Resident #1 was not deemed necessary by Physical Therapy after the first fall. She said Physical Therapy did not recommend Resident #1 to be a 2 person assist. She said Resident #1's normal activity level was she rarely ever wanted to come out of her room, she had seen her out of bed less than 10 times, and she was physically able to sit in a chair but did not want to. She said for quite a while she had been sleeping a lot. When asked how soon the care plan should have been updated after Resident #1's second fall, she said the care plan should have been updated timely. She said she did not feel there was a safety issue with Resident #1, and she did not feel feel there was an established pattern with her falling out of bed on 2 separate occasions. She said to the CNA, Resident #1 was a one person assist at the time. She said she did not think she could have prevented the incident aside for calling for help from someone to refill the basin. She said it was not known Resident #1 would lose strength in her arms.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 2:24pm CNA D said when Resident #1 fell off the bed on 12/13/2023 she was giving her a bed bath. She said she was washing her backside, and, in the process, she rolled off the bed. She said it happened so fast and Resident #1 did not provide a warning. She said Resident #1 had grab bars to support herself and she tried to grab Resident #1 to prevent her from falling but she slipped out of her hands. She said Resident #1 at the time was a one person assist for most activities and she did not know her to be a high fall risk. She said she called for help and referred her to the nurse. She said Resident #1 was yelling in pain. She said the ADON gave her one to one training on bed baths, and it was determined she did so correctly. She said she had not had another training since then. She said there was no Kardex (Care Plan for CNAs that tell them how much assistance a resident needs), nothing hanging on the walls to show care plans for residents with regards to assistance levels. She said she only determined the level of assistance needed when she was performing a task on her own and realized she could not do it safely without help. She said she would then have called for help from time to time. She said they all got verbal training or reporting from nurses which determined the level of care needed for each resident. She said there was nothing on a Kardex or care plan that she could refer to find out how much assistance she needed to care for a resident, she said a nurse would let them know if a resident needed assistance with feeding.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 2:16pm Resident #1 said the first time she fell off the bed she was oily, and the bed was oily. She said she was turned close to the edge of the bed, and she lost her balance and fell out of the bed. She said she could not hold her grip on the bed rails because she was weak. She said she got pushed too close to the edge of the bed, she could not hold her grip and she fell off the bed. She said she did not want the CNAs again. She said she should have had 2 CNAs help her not one. She said when she fell the first time, she broke her hip and they had to repair it at the hospital. She said the second time she fell out of the bed a different CNA was giving her a bed bath. She said the CNA left and went to throw out the bath water and she left her turned on her side. She said she should have never been left on her side like that. She said she could not reposition herself. She said when she fell the second time she landed on her hip. She said she needed a bigger bed mattress as she was too big for the bed and when they turned her, she was at the edge of the bed. She said she had to go to the hospital, but her leg still was not healed from the first fall.
Interview on 4/17/2024 at 3:00pm CNA E said she had worked at the facility for 3 weeks, she said she had training as a CNA so she would know her responsibility with the resident's bed bath, bathroom, cleaning, wiping changing diapers, transferring to wheelchair and back to bed. She said the facility trained her on what to do and what she can do for the residents. She said when you look at the chart you know how to take care of the people. She said from her training she knew if residents needed one or 2 people assistance. She said she had worked on 300 halls. She said most of the 2-person assistance were located on 200 halls. She said Resident #1 needs 2 people assist. She said the nurse that attends to her asks for assistance. She said Resident #1 needs 2 people to change her and she felt confident in who needed how much care in the building. She said most of the residents she knew by looking, assessing them and could tell how much help they needed.
Interview on 4/18/2024 at 8:43am Physical Therapist A said he worked with Resident #1 going on 2 years since April of 2022. He said they did yearly in-services and they in-serviced the staff on transfers and Hoyer lifts. He said he knew Resident #1. He said Resident #1 had a fall and a fracture with the left leg, and they had seen her for therapy before and after that point. He said they worked with her on her mobility status. He said she had always been able to assist with her right arm, she would roll using her right hand up and over and they had to help her so she could hold and stabilize herself. He said he did not know how she fell off the bed the second time and said he knew with therapy she was able to assist with some help to the right. He said he did not know if she was lethargic. He said he did not know Resident #1 fell out of bed twice. He said they were working with her in therapy. He said they were putting with max or total dependent with 1 person. He said she needed verbal cues. He said he would not have left her when getting her bath, he would not have stepped aside, he would have rolled her to her back. He said he would not have left Resident #1 on a sideline position and left unattended. He said they had to be always with Resident #1, do not leave her there. He said given Resident #1's history since her condition has declined to add two people to care and this would be a strong recommendation for bathing. If they had to take their hands off to bathe her, Resident #1 would have been a two person assist and with her history for precautions. He said Resident #1 had become weaker and just from a tolerance position. He said he could bathe Resident #1 but he would be touching her and not stepping away.
Interview in 4/18/2024 at 9:08am ADON A said she had worked at the facility for a year and a half. She said she did most of the in-services. She said she did skills check off with CNA D the first time Resident #1 fell off the bed. She said she did a 2 person assist on transferring in-service with all CNAs. She said the second time Resident #1 fell off the bed she did a one-to-one in-service with CNA C on bed positioning, making sure there was a second person assisting, bed leveled for safety. She said nurses, CNAs, CMAs received skills check off in December 2023 on transfers, and they focused on the first fall, that specific incident and what they needed to do moving forward. This was a general training, and they did resident specific training with CNA D and CNA C. She said they covered every 2 hours turning resident, and they got turning training in the skills check off. She said CAN C's training was to make sure someone was there to assist them with turning. She said after Resident #1 fell a second time she did training with CNA C with Resident #1. She said Resident #1 should have been deemed a 2 person assist after the first fall because it's an intervention. She said no other interventions were put in place. The staff could have accessed the Kardex (Care Plan for CNA and it is in their POC documentation, and they get report, the nurse was supposed to provide the information to them. She said she was not sure if its in the POC it populates in the Kardex. She said she believed Resident #1 should have been 2 persons assist. She said the checkoffs went over bed baths, 2 pers assists, everything, so no need to do individual in-services, staff should have known by Kardex and nursing staff how to provide care for the residents. She said the Kardex pulls from the Care Plan. The Kardex was in the documentation system for the CNAS and the Care plan too.

She said she would help press the call light to make them come faster. She stated before Resident #1's fall (4/1/2024), the resident only received help from one person when being changed. She said she did not know whether it was because they were shorthanded and could not get the extra help, but they were typically alone when providing her care. She said she overheard the bed bath happening when Resident #1 fell recently, she heard when Resident #1 yell I'm slipping, I'm slipping and she heard her hit the ground.
