An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12/14/21 at 3:15 PM. The DON was asked if resident call lights should be hung on the wall and not within the Resident's reach and revealed call lights should be accessible to residents. When asked why Resident #8's call light was hung on the same wall which the bed is positioned against and not within reach of the Resident, the DON was unable to provide an explanation. When queried regarding Resident #8's fall in the facility on 6/20/21 with resulting femur fracture and if the Resident's call light was in reach at the time of the fall, the DON reviewed the I and A documentation for the fall and revealed the call light was not on and indicated the Resident did not use their call light. When asked if the call light was in reach and accessible at the time of the fall, the DON did not provide a response. When asked about the I and A documentation for Resident #8's fall on 6/20/21 indicating the Resident was last observed at 6:00 PM when the provided statements detailed the Resident had been last observed at 5:30 PM, the DON was unable to explain the discrepancy. The DON was then queried regarding the staff witness statements not being signed by staff and replied, They were verbal. That is how I do it. When queried regarding facility policy/procedure related to investigations of occurrences and staff statements including written vs. verbal statements and signatures, the DON indicated they would need to review the policy. Resident #8's care plan was reviewed with the DON at this time. When queried regarding each of Resident #8's falls being related to the Resident using the bathroom without assistance, the DON indicated they were aware of the Resident's activities at the time of the falls. When queried regarding interventions in place pertaining to their diagnosis of [CONDITION(S)] disease as well as interventions to ensure adequate supervision and assistance to prevent falls when the Resident fell on [DATE], the DON indicated the Resident's room had been moved closer to the nurses' station following their fall on 6/4/21. When asked if the Resident's room was visible from the nurses' station, the DON revealed it was not. When asked, the DON revealed Resident #8 had been a high fall risk. The DON was then queried what the care plan intervention, Follow facility fall protocol entailed and replied, That is just what we do if someone falls. When queried why the Resident did not have interventions such as a toileting schedule and/or scheduled/frequent monitoring, the DON indicated they did not and would not implement a toileting schedule for Resident #8. The DON continued, I don't put that on a care plan. It's common sense. When asked how staff know what care and monitoring residents require if not care planned, the DON replied, It's common sense and reiterated they do not put everything on the care plan. The DON was queried if the Resident's footwear (slippers) at the time of the fall were assessed to ensure proper fit. The DON was unable to demonstrate that Resident #8's footwear was assessed but denoted the Resident did have their slippers in place. When queried regarding standard interventions to prevent falls and injury, such as low bed height, trip hazard removal, appropriate fitting, non-slip footwear, and increased monitoring frequency, the DON reaffirmed their previous response indicating those interventions were common sense. When queried regarding staff statements of Resident #8's known bowel urgency and bowel incontinent when they fell on [DATE], the DON replied, How do staff remember that? The DON indicated they were not aware the Resident was incontinent when they fell on [DATE]. The DON was then asked if they had asked staff about the Resident's continence as part of the investigation and replied, No. When queried how they were able to determine the root cause of the fall and implement appropriate interventions to prevent further falls if they did not complete a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the fall, the DON did not respond. The DON was then queried regarding the dates for Resident #8's care plan intervention, Room moved closer to nurses' station including the reason the intervention created date was after the initiated date and why neither date correlated with information in the census documentation. The DON stated they would guess it wasn't added so I added it later. When asked why the intervention of moving the room closer to the nurses' station did not occur until 6/7/21, three days after the Resident's fall on 6/4/21, the DON revealed they would need to review facility census data. When asked why there were no progress notes and/or assessment documentation related to the room change in the Resident's medical record, an explanation was not offered. With further inquiry regarding resident specific interventions implemented to prevent falls, as the Resident was assessed to be a high fall risk, no further explanation was provided. The DON was then queried regarding Resident #8's door being partially closed when they fell on [DATE] and if the door should have been opened or closed due to the Resident's risk of falls. The DON revealed the door should have been open and stated, (Resident #8) probably closed it. When asked how long the door was closed without staff being aware, the DON was unable to provide a response. The DON was then queried regarding facility policy/procedure related to rugs in resident rooms and if rugs increase the risks for falls and stated, Yes. When asked about Resident #8 having a rug in their room, Resident #8 replied, Shouldn't. The DON was then queried why the Resident had a rug if they should not, the DON did not provide an explanation. The DON then stated, Well, it is not on the care plan that they can't have a rug.

RN I was asked the frequency in which they are short staffed on night shift and replied, I don't keep track. RN I revealed they Just have to go with it in regard to staffing levels. With further inquiry regarding staffing and the provision of assistance to residents who require two assistance, RN I indicated the CNAs assist each other with Residents who require two-assist on their respective assigned halls. RN I was asked if facility halls were left without staff supervision while staff were providing assistance to the Resident's who required two-assist and replied, Yes. When queried if Residents had fell while staff were on other halls providing care, RN I replied, Yes. RN I was asked how many residents required two-assist and replied, On the 200 and 300 halls, I would guess around 10.

When queried regarding Resident #8's fall on 6/20/21, LPN P stated, I just came on shift and heard (Resident #8) screaming. I sent a CNA down to check. When queried regarding Resident #8's fall risk, LPN P stated, (Resident #8) was definitely a high fall risk. (The Resident) would shut the door and walk around by themselves. LPN P further indicated the Resident was confused. LPN P was queried if the Resident was incontinent, LPN P replied, Yes. LPN P then stated, (Resident #8) has IBS or [CONDITION(S)]. They need to get to the bathroom right away. When queried if Resident #8 was on a toileting schedule and/or frequent monitoring related to their fall risk, history of falls, and confusion, LPN P revealed the Resident did not have those interventions in place. LPN P was then asked about facility policy/procedure following a fall in the facility and the involvement of nursing staff in development and implementation of interventions to prevent falls. LPN P stated, We update the care plan immediately or we are supposed to. When queried regarding the types of interventions nurses were able to implement following a fall, LPN P revealed nursing staff are supposed to implement an immediate intervention following falls but indicated there are no defined interventions. When asked if nursing staff were able to implement fall mats as intervention, as an example, LPN P replied, We used to. I don't know why we don't. An interview was completed with Nurse T on 12/20/21 at 4:15 PM. When queried regarding staffing in the facility, Nurse T stated, It's tough. When asked if there were enough staff to provide adequate supervision to Residents, Nurse T replied, Some nights there are multiple residents who need close supervision, and we don't have enough (staff). Nurse T continued, There have been multiple times when I have had to take residents on med pass with me. When queried, Nurse T revealed two nurses and four CNAs were supposed to be scheduled to work each night shift. Nurse T elaborated that the facility census was around 60 residents, so each nurse was assigned to 30 residents and each CNA was assigned to approximately 15 residents.
