F909G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on staff interview, clinical record review, and facility document review, the facility staff failed to ensure a bariatric (a specialized medical support surface engineered for patients with a high body mass index) mattress was compatible with a bed frame for (1) one of (15) fifteen sampled residents, Resident #24. Resident #24's bariatric mattress measured 46 (forty-six) inches and was placed on a bed frame that extended to 42 (forty-two) inches, resulting in an overlay. While being provided with incontinence care on 03/13/2026, Resident #24 fell out of bed landing face down between the bed and the wall. Resident #24 sustained a hematoma to the forehead and a laceration to the bridge of the nose, resulting in transfer to a higher level of care, thus constituting harm. Findings included:A facility policy titled, Bed Safety and Side Rail Utilization with an effective date of 11/2025, specified communities will conduct regular inspections of all bed frames and mattresses as part of a regular bed safety program to identify safety hazards. Under the heading, Procedures Item #1 Evaluate Equipment read in part, a. Bed safety inspections will be conducted when a bed is brought into the community (new or used), and/or when a bed accessory is changed. c. i. Prior to using any model of bed in the community, the bed is evaluated by a designated team member to ensure compatibility of the bed and mattress intended to use with the bed. An admission Record disclosed Resident #24 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. According to the admission Record the resident's diagnosis list indicated diagnoses, which included, but not limited to, morbid obesity, unilateral osteoarthritis right hip, adult failure to thrive, Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, and dementia with agitation. The most recent quarterly minimum data set (MDS) with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 03/24/2026 was coded in Section C (Cognitive Patterns) to reflect the resident had short and long-term memory problems and was severely impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision making. A review of Resident #24's clinical record disclosed the following: A Health Status Note dated 03/13/2026 disclosed that during nursing care provided by a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), the resident fell from the bed while being repositioned for peri-care (the medical practice of washing and maintaining the hygiene of the genitals, anus, and the surrounding sensitive region known as the perineum.) The resident's bed was locked and equipped with an air mattress and was positioned against the wall. At the time of the incident, the resident landed face-down between the bed and the wall. The resident was observed to have nasal bleeding, a small bruise on the mid-forehead area, and was found crying out. The bleeding was controlled, and the family was immediately contacted as the resident was on comfort care. The family decided to transfer the resident to the hospital. The provider was notified and agreed with the transfer. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) was contacted, and the resident was transported. A review of a Post Fall Review assessment dated [DATE], disclosed the resident had a fall from the bed on 03/13/2026. Under Section C (Intervention Recommendations) Item #1 (Investigation/Findings/Conclusion) disclosed a Route Cause Analysis was performed on the resident's fall and indicated that the mattress was too big for the bed. Requested and received manufacturer bed specifications for Resident #24's bed at the time of the fall on 03/13/2026. The manufacturer specifications did not note bariatric mattress extension specifications. On 06/03/2026 at 2:02 PM, the Administrator (ADM) was interviewed and stated the facility received new bed frames in November 2025 and Resident #24's bariatric mattress was placed on a new bed frame with the bariatric extender. The ADM provided a Plan of Correction (POC) that was completed for the incident that occurred on 03/13/2026. A review of the POC for the resident's fall on 3/13/26 disclosed that on 11/24/2025, Resident #24 received a new bed that had a bariatric extender. The resident's bariatric air mattress was placed on the new bed frame in the extended bariatric position. Resident #24's mattress measured 46 inches wide. The bariatric extension on the bed expanded to 42 inches wide. The IDT (interdisciplinary team) identified the bariatric bed mattress did not properly fit the resident's bed frame. The new bed was not assessed for the mattress being too large. The POC file included a witness statement from Certified Nursing Assistant #1 (CNA#1) which read in part, .was completing my round on resident (Resident #24) .is a bariatric resident that has a bariatric air mattress on a standard nursing bed. This makes the air mattress have an overhang on the left side of approximately 3 - 5 inches of unsupported bed support.gathered my supplies to change the resident.I proceeded to turn the resident onto [their] side (left side) when I turned [resident] over [resident] continued to roll towards the wall and as I tried to reach for [the resident] [the resident] sunk into the crack in between the bed/wall and fell to the floor.

What was done immediately for problem identified:Resident was assessed for injuries, EMS (emergency medical services) activated, medical provider notified, resident family notified of incident and requested imminent transport to hospital (as resident was on comfort care), medical provider gave order to send resident to hospital. Maintenance immediately brought resident a bariatric bed frame and put it in place on 03/13/2026. 2. How were other residents that had potential to be affected by the problem identified:All residents on bariatric mattresses were at risk. An audit of all mattresses was completed by Administrator/Nursing Supervisor on 03/13/2026. All mattresses were determined to be the correct size for the bed frames. 3. Education - what was done to prevent reoccurrence:As the facility beds do not extend past 42 inches, the facility will provide bariatric bed frames to any resident admitting that needs one. Nursing staff will be educated by the DON/Designee on or before 03/20/2026 to alert DON/Nursing supervisor if a mattress is too large for a bed frame immediately. 4. How is this going to be monitored ongoing:The DON/Designee will complete an audit 1 time a week for 6 weeks to ensure all bed frames are large enough to fit mattresses. Any instances of noncompliance will be corrected immediately. Trends of noncompliance will be reviewed at the facilities QAPI (Quality Assurance Performance Improvement) committee meeting. 5. Completion DateCompliance will be attained on or before 03/20/2026. Credible Evidence Review: A review of the credible evidence for the POC on 06/04/2026 disclosed education had been completed addressing the facility nursing staff's responsibility to ensure that the mattresses are the correct size for the bed frames. The education specified that if something is noticed that does not appear to be correct with a resident's bed, a member of the leadership team is to be notified so the safety of the resident's bed can be addressed. A list of new hire education since the incident on 03/13/2026 verified new nursing staff also receive the above education. Further review of the credible evidence for the POC on 06/04/2026 disclosed that all the facility beds had been evaluated for correct mattress sizing/bed frames on 03/20/2026 and a Bed Safety Checklist had been revised/developed to include examination of mattress and bedframe compatibility of resident beds.

Based on observations, interviews, and the review of documents, it was determined the facility staff failed to properly implement COVID-19 prevention and/or control measures. The findings include: Observations of the facility on 1/20/21 revealed one (1) staff member using a N95 mask with an exhalation valve. On 1/20/21 at 2:55 p.m., a facility registered nurse (RN #1) was observed to be wearing a N95 mask with an exhalation valve; no additional covering was in place over the exhalation valve. RN #1 reported they had been successfully fit-tested for the N95 mask in question. The facility's director of nursing (DON) reported that two (2) staff members of the long term care facility and one (1) dietary staff member involved with preparing food and/or trays for the long term care facility's residents had been fit-tested to use the N95 mask with the exhalation valve. The DON stated it was not an expectation that an employee using the N95 mask in question would wear a second mask/covering to cover the exhalation valve. The following information was found in a facility policy titled COVID-19 Prevention, Control and Management Summary (revised 4/22/2020): Per the CMS April 2, 2020 guidance, all long-term care facility personnel should wear a facemask while they are in the facility.
