Based on interviews, observations and record review, the facility failed to assess, monitor and provide effective alternative fall prevention measures for 5 (R16, R19, R20, R4, R14) of 15 residents on a sample of 21 residents reviewed for fall prevention. This failure resulted in R16 sustaining nasal fractures on the 10/26/10 fall. Findings include: 1. R16's Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] identifies her to require extensive assist of one staff for transfers and ambulation. The MDS also indicates she has standing/sitting balance deficits and is unable to do either without human assistance. According to the care plan, R16 was to have a personal alarm on in August 2010. The MDS indicates that in August of 2010, R16 had short term memory loss with moderate cognitive impairment. The fall assessment dated [DATE] identifies R16 to only be at moderate risk for falls. The facility failed to assess R16 as a high fall risk due to having repeated falls documented on 8/5/10 (2), 8/16/11, 10/26/10 and 12/24/10. The OCCURRENCE report dated 8/5/10 indicates she was found "upright next to bed with legs bent @ (at) knees and folded under her" at 6:50am. The alarm was not sounding as her elbow was still on the pad but she was on the floor. The intervention recommendation is for side rails up when in bed with bed rail pads. R16 was to have upper rails up according to her care plan. On 8/5/10, at 10pm, R16 fell again. The OCCURRENCE report indicates that staff responded to R16's alarm and found her on the floor. No visible injury was noted. Identified preventative measures at the time included an alarm which was sounding. The report indicates she was found "lying on pad at bedside." The report also indicates R16 complained of hitting head but had no visible signs of injury except a 3cm skin tear to the back of her right hand which was steristrips by facility staff. Interventions added following the fall include low bed with mats. There is no mention of the bed rails with pads implemented earlier that day. On 8/16/10 at 5:10am, R16 was again found on the floor when staff responded to her alarm. It states she was found "lying on bedside mat." Nurses notes describing what happened, documents "resident believes she can walk by herself and is status [REDACTED].) The root cause indicates "due to resident action or internal risk factors." but doesn't reflect whether her bed was in low position or whether the bed rails with pads were up or not. In addition, the documentation fails to determine why staff was unable to respond timely enough to prevent her from falling again. Recommendations indicate X-rays of back and hips will be done along with a urinalysis/culture due to resident complaining of back and right leg pain. On 10/26/10 at 1400 (2pm), R16 was again found on the floor when staff responded to her alarm sounding. The nurses notes describe the incident occurring when "resident attempted to stand up. She is unable to walk and fell to floor." The OCCURRENCE report indicates she was sitting in her room just prior to the fall and sustained head trauma in the fall with the center side of nose bleeding and swollen. R16 was transferred to the emergency room and diagnosed with [REDACTED]. New interventions implemented after returning to the facility included a lap cushion. On 12/24/10 at 7am, R16 again was found on the floor when staff responded to her alarm sounding. The OCCURRENCE report indicates R16 was out of bed lying on her stomach with head and upper chest on bed. The report indicates her upper rails were up , lower rails down and the bed was in low position. The root cause documents "Due to resident action or internal risk factors" as the causative factor in the fall. There is no documentation to support that the facility assessed why staff was unable to respond to R16's alarm in a timely manner to prevent her from falling to the floor. According to R16's Care Plan dated 3/22/06, she has poor safety awareness, decreased mobility, history of falls and CVA with right hemiparesis. Interventions include apply positioning materials in her wheelchair when up in the wheelchair (12/29/07), call light within reach, reinforce need to call for help (3/22/06), analyze all falls, top bed rails up for bed mobility, bed sensor alarm when in bed (3/19/10), offer reminders to call for assistance when needed although the facility identified her to have a "problem with short term memory" and on 3/2/11, staff added a self releasing belt alarm on when in wheelchair" but no information could be provided as to why it was added in March 2011. On 4/26, 4/27 and 4/28/11, R16 was observed to be either in bed (low position) with mats on both sides or in the wheelchair with a self release belt on. 2. R14's MDS of 3-28-11 documents R14 as requiring extensive assistance of 2 for transfer. R14 was observed on 4-27-11 at 10:10AM to be transferred from her wheel chair to the toilet and then to bed by E9 CNA/Shift Coordinator and E10 CNA using a mechanical standing lift.

Z1 was told R14 has a G tube. Z1 stated the facility should use the Transport Attachment for transferring residents with G tubes. Z1 stated he was sure R14 would be uncomfortable with the belt placed over her breast and upper back. Z1 stated misplacement of the belt could be dangerous, injuring the resident or causing a fall. 3. R4's MDS of 3-14-11 documents R4 requires extensive assistance for transfers. R4 was observed on 4-26-11 at 12:25PM to be transferred from her wheel chair to bed by E7, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and E8, CNA, using a standing mechanical lift. E7 and E8 failed to lock R4's bed in place before the transfer and the bed rolled during the transfer. 4.

She stated "he's gonna be on the floor if someone doesn't come help." Staff were not aware R19 was sliding from his chair until visitor informed staff. 5. R20's MDS, dated [DATE], documented extensive assistance of one person physical assistance with mobility and two person physical assistance with transfer and walking, not steady, only able to stabilize with human assistance for moving from seated to standing position, walking, turning around and facility the opposite direction while walking, moving on and off toilet and surface to surface transfer. R20's Fall Report, dated 12-24-10, documented R20 was found on the floor in a sitting position with wheel chair tipped to the right side, attempting to get back up and his alarm was sounding.
