Inspection of February 8, 2019
3 findingsCI MS # Based on observation, interviews, record review and facility policy review, the facility failed to report to the State Agencies (SA), a fall with major injury that resulted in the death of a resident, related to lack of staff assistance, per resident assessment. This affected one (1) of seven (7) residents reviewed, Resident #4. Resident #4 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident #1 fell on [DATE], and received a Head Injury and Skull Fracture, when Registered Nurse (RN) #1 toileted the resident without assistance and left him standing without assistance at the bedside. RN #1 was approximately 43 inches away from Resident #4, with the resident's bed between them, when Resident #4 became unbalanced and fell , hitting his head on the floor. Resident #4 subsequently died on [DATE], as a result of the fall. Resident #4 was assessed for transfer and mobility assistance due to balance issues. The facility did not report the fall with injury and subsequent death to the SA as required. The facility's failure to report Resident #4's fall with major head injury and death to the SA, placed this and other residents assessed for fall risk that required assistance, in a situation that was likely to cause serious harm, injury, impairment, or death. This situation was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC), that began on [DATE], when staff failed to provide assistance as needed to prevent Resident #4's accident/fall, with major head injury and subsequent death; and also failed to report the incident as required. On [DATE] at 12:30 PM, the SA notified the facility's Administrator of the IJ and SQC. The facility submitted an acceptable Allegation of Compliance (A[NAME]) on [DATE], in which the facility alleged all corrective actions were completed on [DATE], and the IJ removed on [DATE]. The SA validated the A[NAME], and determined the IJ was removed prior to exit. Therefore the scope and severity for 42 CFR(s) 483.12 (c)-Reporting, F609, was lowered from a J to a scope and severity of a D, while the facility developed a plan of correction to monitor the effectiveness of the systemic changes to ensure the facility sustains compliance with regulatory requirements. Findings include: The facility's policy, Prevention of Resident Abuse, Neglect, Mistreatment or Misappropriation of Property, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), noted the facility Administrator would report to the State Survey Agency in accordance with State law. This policy noted if the events that cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, the event must be reported immediately, but not later than two (2) hours after the allegation is made. A review of the facility's Exception Report, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #4 lost his balance on [DATE] at 1:50 PM, while standing. Documentation revealed Resident #4 had bleeding from his head and ears after the fall and complained of severe pain. The report was signed by RN #1 on [DATE].

The report documented the resident had a laceration/hematoma to the back of the skull and bleeding from the ear. The resident was placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. Review of Resident #4's Computerized Tomography (CT) scan, dated [DATE], revealed, The study is significant for evidence of a hairline fracture left temporal bone extending into the external auditory canal with fluid possibly blood left external cord canal. Exam also shows what appears to be a very minimal amount of subarachnoid air in the posterior fossa on the left adjacent to the temporal bone. Review of the Discharge Summary, from the accepting hospital, with a discharge date of [DATE], revealed Resident #4 died as a result of a Basilar Skull Fracture, fall at the Nursing Home, and a Cerebral Contusion. Review of Resident #4's Certificate of Death, dated [DATE] at 4:54 AM, revealed the cause of death was Multi-organ Failure, due to Basilar Skull Fracture, as a consequence of a fall to the Floor Interview with Resident #4's Responsible Party (RP) on [DATE] at 8:31 AM, revealed Resident #4 died as a result of a fall at the facility when a nurse was helping him by herself.

CI MS # Based on observation, interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to implement the plan of care to provide adequate assistance to prevent accidents and/or major injury, including death, for one (1) of seven (7) residents reviewed, Resident #4. Resident #4 was assessed and care planned for two (2) person assistance with transfer and mobility, related to balance. He fell on [DATE], when RN #1 took him to the bathroom unassisted, then left him at the bedside unassisted, while she went to the other side of the bed. The fall resulted in a Head Injury and Skull Fracture when Registered Nurse (RN) #1 was unable to reach the resident to break his fall on [DATE]. She was approximately 43 inches away from Resident #4, with the resident's bed between them, when Resident #4 fell . Resident #4 died on [DATE], as a result of the fall. The facility's failure to follow Resident #4's plan of care to provide supervision and assistance to prevent accidents, resulted in major injury/death to Resident #4, and placed other residents assessed for assistance needs, in a situation that was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death. This situation was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) that began on [DATE], when RN #1 failed to provide the needed assistance, per care plan, to help prevent the accident/fall and major injury, resulting in Resident #4's death. On [DATE] at 12:30 PM, the State Agency notified the facility's Administrator of the IJ and Substandard Quality of Care (SCQ). The facility submitted an acceptable Allegation of Compliance (A[NAME]) on [DATE], in which the facility alleged all corrective actions were completed on [DATE], and the IJ removed on [DATE]. The SA validated the A[NAME] and determined the IJ was removed, prior to exit. Therefore the scope and severity for 42 CFR(s) 483.21 (b)(1)-Comprehensive Care Plans, F656, was lowered from a J to a scope and severity of a D, while the facility developed a plan of correction to monitor the effectiveness of the systemic changes to ensure the facility sustains compliance with regulatory requirements. Findings include: The facility's policy, Care Plan-Comprehensive, dated (MONTH) (YEAR), revealed the facility would develop and maintain a Comprehensive Care Plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychological needs of the resident. This policy noted the Care Plans are revised as changes in the resident's condition dictate and are reviewed at least quarterly. Review of the Care Plan (CP) dated [DATE], with a target date of [DATE], revealed Resident #4 was at risk for falls and was unable to use his upper extremities (hands/arms). The CP did not address interventions for staff assistance when ambulating. The CP noted Resident #4 had an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) deficit and would receive the following assistance: Extensive of two (2) to walk in room/corridor, extensive of one (1) for locomotion off unit, extensive of two (2) for toilet use, extensive of two (2) for transfers, and supervision of one (1) with locomotion on the unit. Extensive assistance is defined as the resident is involved in the activity, but staff provides weight-bearing support (having hands on the resident). Review of another Care Plan, provided by the facility on [DATE] at 2:05 PM, with a target date of [DATE], noted Resident #4 had an ADL deficit and would receive the following assistance: Limited of one (1) to walk in room/corridor, extensive of one (1) for locomotion off unit, extensive of two (2) for toilet use, extensive of two (2) for transfers and supervision of one (1) with locomotion on the unit. Review of a Care Plan, provided by the facility, dated [DATE], with a Target Date of [DATE], documented that Resident #4 required extensive assistance by two (2) persons with no resolved date listed, and also listed a resolved intervention of limited assist times one (1) person to walk in room/corridor with the resolved date of [DATE], on the day Resident #4 fell .

CI MS # Based on observation, interviews, record review, and facility statement, the facility failed to provide adequate assistance as assessed and care planned, to prevent an accident, which resulted in major injury/death, for one (1) of seven (7) residents reviewed, Resident #4. Resident #4 was assessed and care planned for two (2) person assistance with toileting and transfer, and one (1) person assistance for mobility. Resident #1 fell and received a Head Injury and Skull Fracture when Registered Nurse (RN) #1 was unable to reach him when he became unbalanced, while left unassisted at the bedside. RN #1 assisted Resident #4 to the bathroom by herself on [DATE], then left the resident on one (1) side of the bed while she went to the other side to adjust his bed covers. RN #1 was approximately 43 inches away from Resident #4, with the resident's bed between them, when Resident #4, who was left standing alone, fell and hit his head on the floor. Resident #4 sustained a head injury and skull fracture on [DATE], and died on [DATE]. The death certificate listed the cause of death as Multi-organ Failure, Basilar Skull Fracture, and fall to the floor. Resident #4 had a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The facility's failure to provide supervision/assistance, per assessment and care plan, to prevent accidents and hazards, resulted in the injury and death of Resident #4 , and placed other residents assessed/care planned for transfer/mobility assistance, in a situation that was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death. This situation was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and Substandard Quality of Care (SQC), that began on [DATE], when Resident #4 fell , while left standing alone, and RN #1 was not close enough to provide assistance to break and/or prevent his fall.
