Specifically, 1) On 02/07/2026, Resident #5, who was identified as high risk for falls, with a history of falls, had an unwitnessed fall in the dayroom when the day room was not monitored by facility staff.

F726E · No harm, potential for more than minimal, pattern

Based on observations, interviews, and record review conducted during a survey, the facility did not ensure nurse aides were able to demonstrate competency in skills and techniques necessary to care for residents. This was evident for two (Residents #1 and #11) of three residents reviewed for staff competency. Specifically, 1) Certified Nurse Aides #2 and #3 did not properly inspect a transfer sling prior to transferring Resident #1 with a mechanical lift.
