Based on the interview and record review, the facility failed to follow its abuse policy by not protecting residents from resident-to-resident abuse. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for physical abuse in a sample of 3.The findings include:R1 is an [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with mild cognitive impairment as per the Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE].On 5/29/26 at 9:20 AM, R1 was observed in bed, very alert and oriented x3, and able to state his name, place, and time.On 5/29/26 at 9:20 AM, R1 stated, Last Thursday (5/21/26) night, a resident (R2) came to my room and attacked me.

Based on interviews and record review the facility failed to supervise a resident at high risk for falls with history of falls; failed to train nursing staff to recognize resident's physical ability and level of assistance; and failed to implement measures to prevent a fall for 1 of 2 (R17) residents reviewed for falls in the sample of 55. These failures resulted in R17 being emergently transferred to the hospital and admitted with left hip fracture that required surgical intervention. Findings include: R17 is a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including but not limited to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Diabetic Neuropathy; Heart Failure; Restless Legs Syndrome; Generalized Anxiety Disorder; Major Depressive Disorder; Reduced Mobility Difficulty in Walking; Lack of Coordination; Unspecified Fall; Repeated Falls. According to R17's MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE] under section C, R17 has BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of 7 indicating severe cognitive impairment. According to R17's MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE] under section GG, shows that R17 requires supervision or touching assistance to walk 10 feet, refused to be assisted to walk 50 feet, and requires partial/moderate assistance in toileting hygiene. R17's fall history shows R17 fell on [DATE], 02/04/2025, 03/18/2025, and 03/27/2025. R17's fall risk assessment dated [DATE] shows R17 scored 18 indicating high risk for falls. R17's fall care plan initiated 12/10/2023 reads in part, (R17) has potential for falls, functional deficits, history of falls, muscle weakness, admitted with a diagnosis of non-displaced rib fracture right 4th-7th ribs and left 5th, and 6ht ribs s/p fall, has RLS.

Interventions: TOILET USE: Provide total assistance; TRANSFER: The resident requires total assist (Hoyer lift) with transfer (Date Initiated: 03/11/2025). On 05/12/25 at 12:46 PM R17 sitting in the reclined specialty chair by the room. R17 not interviewable. On 05/13/25 at 01:26 PM V8 (Family Member) said, I visit R17 all the time, I live only few minutes away from the facility. Before R17's fall (on 03/18/2025), R17 was pretty stable with walking with the walker. R17 would always go to the bathroom by herself. I don't know if she should have gone by herself, but she did. At the time of the fall, R17 was residing on the third-floor unit. R17's room was all the way at the end of the hallway, far from the enclosed nursing station. V8 started to cry and said, They ruined mine and her life by not preventing the fall, she's not the same anymore. That day (03/18/2025), I brought in food for R17 and left around 09:30 PM - 10:00 PM. I woke up the following morning and noticed missed call form the facility. V16 (Registered Nurse) said in the voicemail that R17 initiated emergency call light in the bathroom but by the time staff went into R17's room, she already attempted to go back to the bed, and fell in the middle of the room. That made me wonder how long she waited in the bathroom before she decided to attempt to go back to the bed. R17 was sent out to the hospital, had broken the hip, followed by surgery, and came back after 10 days. I tried asking her what happened but R17 doesn't remember. R17 is so different now. R17 only needed minimal assistance before the fall, and now she cannot even sit up in the chair and doesn't really talk either whereas before we talked all the time. R17's condition declined tremendously. On 05/14/25 at 09:29 AM V10 (Certified Nurse Assistant) said, I worked on 3/17/2025 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Around 1:15 AM, R17's call light went off. I went to answer it and as I headed down to the room I heard her fall. R17 initiated the emergency bathroom call light. When emergency call light is initiated, it gives different sound, so I recognized it and started walking fast but didn't make it to R17's room before she got off the toilet. When I walked into the room, I saw R17 sitting on the floor with the walker in the front of her. I notified V16 (RN) right away, and he came in to assessed R17. I don't think R17 speaks English, but V16 (RN) asked her if she was in any pain and checked for injuries but there was no injury. We used the sit-to-stand lift to put R17 back in the bed and both, me, V9 (Certified Nurse Assistant), and V16 (RN) waited for an ambulance. I was not assigned to R17 that night, V9 (CNA) was. Everybody was checking on R17 frequently because she is not compliant and goes to the bathroom by herself. Surveyor asked what level of assistance R17 needs when going to the bathroom and what is her cognitive condition, V10 (CNA) said, R17 was supposed to be assisted to go the bathroom. I don't know how her cognitive ability was because she doesn't speak English. When I took care of R17, I used hand gestures. I think the facility uses translators, but I only work night shift, so I don't think they have one who speaks her language at night. R17 was not a high risk fall resident before the fall (03/18/2025) to my knowledge. We just had to watch her when she went to the bathroom. There were no special interventions for R17. V16 (Registered Nurse) not available per V2 (Director of Nursing). Per facility investigation report, V16 (Registered Nurse) who was the nurse caring for R17 at the time of the fall (03/18/2025), stated that he was called by V10 (CNA) to be notified that R17 was found on the floor in her room. V16 (RN) stated that he went immediately to R17's room and saw R17's walker and shoes next to the R17. V16 (RN) assessed R17 and concluded there were no injuries; however, R17 complained of the left leg pain. On 05/14/25 at 12:18 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) /Fall Coordinator) said, R17 was admitted on [DATE], she came into the facility for post fall rehab. R17 walked independently 50 feet with the walker, prior to the fall (03/18/2025). R17 always wants to do everything on her own. On 03/18/2025 she had unwitnessed fall. R17 went to the bathroom by herself and pulled the call light. V10 (Certified Nurse Assistant) headed to the room and found R17 on the floor. V16 (RN) came in immediately and assessed R17. R17 pointed to the pain in the abdomen and a little later in the left leg. R17 was send to the hospital. She suffered left hip fracture and had subsequent surgery. R17 has diagnosis of hypertensive urgency that can cause weakness, dizziness, and syncope. It is hard to determine if R17's blood pressure was elevated right before the fall, so it could have been a contributing factor to R17's fall but it is hard to determine. Some other contributing factors were lack of light in the room and inappropriate footwear, R17 wore sandals. R17 was not able to verbalize what happened. Nursing staff does Purposeful Rounding to anticipate residents' needs. We know R17 likes to do things on her own, so the best way to prevent her from falling would be purposeful rounding. Need anticipation is recognized by purposeful rounding even though she doesn't speak English and her cognition is severely impaired. We determined that the root cause of R17's fall was poor safety awareness, no call for assistance, hypertensive urgency, lack of lighting in the room, and inappropriate footwear. On 05/14/25 at 12:42 PM V9 (Certified Nurse Assistant) said, I worked on 03/17/2025 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM. On 03/18/2025 between 1:00 AM - 2:00 AM, R17 pulled the call light. I was in the nursing station, and as I heard the call light, I headed out to R17's room which was the last room on the hallway. By the time I got to R17's room, V10 (CNA) was already there. V10 (CNA) told me that she found her on the floor. R17 was assigned to me that night. R17 was always independent and did everything for herself. R17 needed only supervision, such as hand her a brief, etc. Normally, we round on assigned residents every hour on the night shift. The last time I saw R17, was around 1:00 AM. I'm not sure what happened. I don't know about any prior falls R17 might have had. She was never at risk for falls before 3/18/2025. There were no special interventions to prevent R17 from falling. I don't know what Purposeful Rounding is, I haven't heard of it. Surveyor asked how she anticipates R17's needs when R17's cognition is severely impaired and she doesn't speak English, V9 (CNA) said, Normally, I would point to the item and R17 would nod her head. There is no other way to communicate with her, I don' know about any interpreting devices. On 05/14/2025 2:27 PM V15 (Nurse Practitioner) said, I'm very familiar with R17. R17 is a loner, alert x2, very independent, and, before the fall, ambulatory. R17 took herself to the bathroom back and forth all the time. I was notified of R17's fall on 3/18/2025. I was told that R17 was using the bathroom and was later discovered on the floor. R17 was complaining of pain in the hip, so I placed an order to send R17 to the hospital. R17 has never fallen like that before. Best interventions to prevent falls is to do rounds and monitor when residents are in bed, also, to let me know right away after each fall. Staff should monitor residents every 4 hours especially at night, or however often the facility fall protocol is. V16's progress note dated 03/18/2025 reads in part, (At) 2:10 AM Writer was notified by CNA who responded to (R17's) bathroom call light.

R1 said when the nurse came into her room to give her the pills, R1 requested it (medications) be left alone with R1 because R1 does not usually take it right away. R1 stated she did not wish to take the pills at that moment, so the nurse came back with a CNA worker to take the pills back. R1 stated the CNA worker walked up to R1 and grabbed her by the left wrist and dragged her by her hair. R1 stated the CNA worker yelled in her face saying, your mother is a [NAME]. R1 stated she sustained a head injury on her forehead. I (officer) did not observe any fresh injuries on R1's head or pieces of hair on the floor in her room. I observed a small red mark on R1's nose, but the injury seemed inconsistent and not fresh from the altercation. R1 stated she threw her medication on the bed so they could leave, to which they did. R1 identified the nurse that was working and observed the altercation as Nurse (V1 name is noted). R1 stated she did not know the name of the CNA worker, but she described her as a short heavy black female, with long colored hair. R1 advised she will be contacting her lawyer for further help. After I spoke with R1, I (officer) was able to make contact with V1 and advised her the complaint. V1 stated after the residents get done with eating their dinner, they are prescribed their medication for the night. V1 said R1 was acting verbally aggressive after she told her that due to their policy, they could not leave the medication with the residents. V1 stated that R1 was out of control, so she left for a few minutes and came back, but R1 was still aggressive. V1 stated she handed the medication to R1, but she threw it across the room. V1 advised that CNA worker V2 walked in to see if everything was okay. V1 and V2 said upon their policy, if a resident is acting up, you leave their room until the episode was over.

R1 said when the nurse came into her room to give her the pills, R1 requested it (medications) be left alone with R1 because R1 does not usually take it right away.

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to implement effective fall prevention interventions to prevent and/or reduce the risk of frequent falls for two of three residents (R1, R2) reviewed for fall prevention interventions. This failure resulted in (R2) being involved in a fall incident that required admission to the local hospital with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Findings include: Record review on fall risk assessment (1/10/18) upon admission indicates that R1 was a moderate risk for falls and the facility initiated a care plan to prevent falls. Record review of the facility provided fall log indicates R1 had frequent falls that occurred on 1/26/18, 5/26/18 and 6/1/18.

On 6/14/18 at 11:35AM V2 stated, As we have had many incidences of a patient being trapped in the side rails and jumping over side rails, we are not using side rails. We consider a bed alarm as a restraint and that's why we are not using bed alarms. We encourage staff to make purposeful rounds to meet resident's needs as most of the falls are happening when a resident is trying to get something from their table/cabinet. But sometimes a fall is unavoidable. When R1 came back from the hospital we moved her to a room closest to nurse's station, bed bolsters were applied and placed on a low bed with a floor mattress. On 6/14/18 at 11:20 AM, observed R2 in activity room in a wheelchair talking to herself. R2 wasn't able to respond to the surveyor's questions.
