Resident 53 informed CRCA Student 21 that there was water running all over the floor as the shower floor was even with the rest of the bathroom floor, and there was no towel on the floor. CRCA Student 21 informed her she would wipe the floor once she assisted her into the shower. Resident 53 stood up from the commode, holding onto the grab bar by the commode and, I started going down. When she stood up, she went down. CRCA Student 21 started grabbing towels right away and wiped up the water from the floor, before anyone else came into the room. They pressed the call light for assistance, but no one came, so CRCA Student 21 left to get help. Two staff members came to assist with getting her up from the floor. Resident 53 was quite sore the previous day. Staff placed ice packs on her back and used a cream to soothe the pain. She obtained a cut on her backside from the fall. The resident who lived in that room with her had many things of her own in the bathroom, including a plastic cabinet, and when she fell, she cut her back on the edge of the plastic cabinet. She had a bandage over it now. An interview was conducted with Family Member 20, on 11/18/25 at 2:40 p.m., in the presence of Resident 53.

CRCA 21 assisted her out of bed and into her wheelchair and pushed her into the bathroom. After they got into the bathroom, she questioned not wearing any socks, and that was when CRCA 21 informed her it was okay, because she was going immediately into the shower. Resident 53 should have insisted she wanted to wear socks, but didn't. There were no towels down on the floor either, while the shower water was running and she was still on the commode. CRCA 21 did not put any towels down until after she fell. She had another shower yesterday and it went well. They didn't turn the water on until after she got into the shower and it only took a minute for it to warm up. The other room had an adjustable shower head in the shower too, just like her current shower, so staff could have pointed the water away from her to let it warm up, like they did for yesterday's shower. She was leery during yesterday's shower, but it went fine. An observation of Resident 53's shower and bathroom were made on 11/21/25 at 11:24 a.m. during the above interview.
