Findings
Based on record review, observation, and interview, the residence failed to promote resident choice, mobility, independence, and safety and failed to detail specific personal service needs and preferences along with the staff tasks necessary to meet those needs in a resident care plan, affecting five of five residents (#2, #3, #7, #8, #10 ). Specifically, Resident #7 had 17 falls since 6/1/25. On 6/8/25, an incident report read, Resident #7 had a skin tear on his lower left arm due to a fall. On 7/26/25, an incident report read, Resident #7 had hit his head with a visible cut and swelling. The care plan had not been updated since 9/13/24. The residence had not updated the residents care plans to include specific interventions implemented to ensure the residents safety. This failure created an immediate jeopardy risk of serious harm or death to Resident #7 and four sample residents. On 9/4/25, the department directed the residence to provide written evidence that the risk had been removed. Findings include:Reference and Resident AgreementChapter VII regulations governing assisted living residences, part 2.10, defines "Care plan" as a written description, in lay terminology, of the functional capabilities of an individual, the individual' s need for personal assistance, services received from external providers, and the services to be provided by the residence in order to meet the individual' s needs. In order to deliver person-centered care, the care plan shall take into account the resident' s preferences and desired outcomes. "Care plan" may also mean a service plan for those facilities which are licensed to provide services specifically for the mentally ill. The residence's 4/2025 resident agreement, read in part, prior to the resident moving into the residence, a care plan or service agreement would be developed and reviewed annually or more often as the residents condition, preferences or service needs change. The service agreement would include the level of service and care You would receive, including, but not limited to assistance with activities of daily living; special accommodations; the amount, type and frequency of health-related services; staff responsible for the provisions of the Service Plan Agreement; whether You require supervision of self-administered medication or medication administration; and all support services provided or arranged for by Manager. Record Review Resident #7 was admitted to the residence on 9/9/24 with diagnoses of Encephalopathy, history of falling, muscle weakness (generalized), Difficulty in walking, need for assistance with personal care, and Repeated falls. The record for Resident #7 revealed the resident experienced 17 falls since 6/1/25 in which there was no evidence of individualized approaches necessary to address falls risks as follows:The care plan for Resident #7, dated 9/13/24, read in part: that Resident #7 needed to be monitored for behaviors such as remaining seated until care staff is present and able to assist out of the shower. Care staff would properly dry the floor and assist Resident #7 out of the shower each time. Monitor for at risk behaviors including proper use of assistive devices, proper foot wear, presence of trip hazards in the environment, participation in physical therapy program and level appropriate activities. Report to Resident Services Director if change in: gait; ability to balance; change in level of consciousness; increased confusion; refusal to use adaptive equipment (wheelchair, walker); or, if the resident falls. RSD would reevaluate fall risk as needed at change of condition and routine assessments. No reassessment or update to the care plan had been completed after Resident #7 ' s falls. InterviewsOn 9/3/25 at approximately 8:45 a.m., Staff #4 stated there are many residents that experience falls and staff are often told to keep an eye on those residents. She stated staff try to did consistent wellness checks on residents who are fall risks. Resident #7 falls often and it was difficult to ensure he is safe, we were not given any new interventions since his last few falls and any interventions staff were instructed to did included ensuring the room was not cluttered and the resident was using his walker. On 9/4/25 at approximately 8:30 a.m., the Wellness Director (WD) stated there was a care conference regarding Resident #7 with his power of attorney and his hospice nurse. The interventions discussed were medication changes and for hospice to visit Resident #7 more frequently however interventions were not documented. The WD stated his 17 falls since 6/1/25 constituted a change in condition; however, no update to the care plan or assessment was completed. On 9/4/25 at 1:20 p.m., the Executive Director (ED) agreed that Resident #7 ' s care plan should have been updated as he had experienced abnormally frequent falls. She stated she expected interventions to be implemented and documented in the residents ' service plans to ensure the residents safety. Immediate Jeopardy Risk - Written Evidence, Immediate Correction The complaint established that the findings above placed the six residents at immediate jeopardy risk for harm due to an increase in falls and lack of interventions. The residence was directed to provide the department with written evidence that the risk had been removed. Part 3.13 of the Chapter VII regulations require residences to immediately correct the circumstances that gave rise to the immediate jeopardy situation. On 9/4/25 at 9:38 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) submitted written evidence that read in pertinent part: A plan is set to review each resident listed and update the care plans by the end of the day on 9/4/25. The Wellness Director (WD) and Executive Director (ED) would oversee the completion for all residents on the Immediate Jeopardy list. For Residents #2, #3, #6, and #8, reassessments and Care Plan updates are scheduled to finish on 9/4/25. There would be communication with hospice and families to arrange care conferences, and progress notes would document the residence ' s efforts. For Resident #7, a care conference has already been scheduled due to several falls. The assessments and Care Plan would be updated by 9/4/25, with documentation added to progress notes. Resident #10 had been under hospice care since 9/1/25 and started comfort medications on the same day. The resident passed away on 9/3/25, with hospice present to assess and notify the family. However, the written evidence did not show that acceptable measures were put in place to ensure resident safety. It lacked documentation of the immediate actions taken by staff and did not provide evidence of staff training given to prevent it from happening again. The plan also did not explain how care plans would be updated consistently in the future, who would be responsible for these updates, or how monitoring would be done to ensure care plans are kept up to date. Additionally, the evidence failed to detail what specific training on fall prevention interventions would be given to staff, when this training would occur, and who would deliver it. The residences first attempt did not make clear who would monitor the plan's progress to prevent the issue from happening again, nor did it set a defined timeframe for when staff training would be completed. The documentation did not specify what interventions would be put in place for each resident until their care conferences are scheduled and completed. On 9/4/25 at 11:38 a.m., the Executive Director (ED) submitted additional written evidence that read in pertinent part: The ED would retrain the Wellness Director (ED) immediately. They would work together to ensure accuracy, and this would be monitored through competencies. Fall Prevention Training with Legacy Therapy is set for 9/9/25. This would be followed by quarterly fall training, with attendance recorded through a Falls Training Spreadsheet and staff sign-in sheets. TheWD would review all Care Plans and Assessments, starting with residents at higher risk of falls. Any changes would need to be communicated to the practitioner and family, with a care conference scheduled. The ED would check the completion of updates by the end of September 2025. The ED and WD would hold weekly meetings with the Wellness Director to review care notes, assessments, incident reports, and documentation with physicians or families to keep monitoring ongoing. The Chief Operations Officer would audit resident charts and the Eldermark system every quarter, and all updates and communications would be documented in resident progress notes. However, the written evidence did not indicate how often the increased checks by staff would be and how staff would document this. However, the written evidence did not demonstrate that the risk had been removed because it did not clarify how often increased checks would be conducted. Also, the submission did not indicate how the residence would ensure that these checks are consistently completed, monitored, and documented, nor did it address how staffing levels would be maintained to ensure that the implementation of the wellness checks did not affect the care of other residents. On 9/4/25 at 12:20 p.m., the Executive Director (ED) submitted additional written evidence that read in pertinent part: Increased status checks would begin every hour, 9/4/25, on residents listed in the Immediate Jeopardy to make sure they did not need help or are not at risk for future falls. The qualified medication administration personnel (QMAP) is in charge of hourly checks. Staff could request another care member for assistance or contact a lead if needed. All checks would be recorded in the residents ' chart and would continue until care conferences are held and fall risk interventions are put in place. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 9/4/25 at 1:15 p.m. Similar deficient practice presented with Residents #2, #3, #8, #10.

Immediate Jeopardy removed on 09/04/2025 at 1:15pm. A plan is in place to reassess each resident listed and update the care plans by the end of the day today, 09/04/2025. The Wellness Director and the Executive Director will be tasked with completing this for all residents listed on the IJ. These are currently in the process of being completed. All updated care plans and assessments will be provided to staff immediately upon completion. The care needs of the residents listed below have been relayed to staff. We have increased status checks by staff on these specified residents to be completed until care conferences are held and interventions are in place to reduce falls. We have also implemented daily check-ins by the Wellness Director or the Resident Care Coordinators. These will be documented in the progress notes. Increased status checks will consist of hourly checks on the sample residents listed in the IJ to ensure the resident is not in need of any assistance or is at risk. The QMAP will be responsible for these hour checks and if the QMAP needs assistance with these hour checks then the QMAP will delegate to another care member or call a supervisor for assistance. This will be documented on the residents’ Emar. These hour checks will be in place until a care conference can be held and fall risk interventions can be put in place. Resident #2 (DM): Reassessment and Care Plan update scheduled to be done by end of day today. An email will be sent, today, to hospice and family to schedule a care conference.

The Executive Director will be tasked with retraining the Wellness Director Immediately. The two will be working side by side on these tasks to ensure accuracy. This will be monitored through competencies. Fall Prevention Training with Legacy Therapy is scheduled for September 9, 2025, at the All-Staff Meeting. Wellness Director will schedule regular fall training for the staff on a quarterly basis and provide ongoing training on falls as they occur. The Executive Director will monitor this with a Falls Training Spreadsheet and the Staff Sign-in Sheet for training. The Wellness Director will be tasked with reviewing 100% of the residents’ Care Plans and Assessments to ensure they accurately reflect the specific needs of each resident. She will begin with the residents who are at higher risks of falls. Any changes of condition or need to change the Care Plan will warrant a notification to physician and a care conference to be scheduled with families. All communications will be documented in the residents’ progress notes. The Executive Director will be monitoring this and ensuring these are completed by the end of the month. Executive Director and the Wellness Director will meet weekly to review progress. This will be tracked on a spreadsheet. The Wellness Director and the Executive Director will meet weekly moving forward to review Incident Reports, changes in condition in residents, and increased fall risk potential. During this meeting we will review documentation of care notes, updated assessments and care plans, and documentation with physicians or family members. This will be an ongoing meeting to ensure this is monitored accurately. Resident Charts and Eldermark system will be audited on a quarterly basis. This will be monitored by the COO.

Findings
Based on observation, interview and record review the residence failed to develop and implement a fall management program affecting five of five sample residents with falls (#2, #3, #7, #8, #10). (Cross Reference S1110, S1180, 2230)Findings include:1. Residence PolicyThe residence's fall policy, dated 9/2024, read in part: Residents who reside in the community would be provided with an environment that reduces the hazards that can lead to falls. Residents who are aging are at a higher risk for falls due to aging related changes. Decreased visual acuity and depth perception present special needs for visual cues. This policy is to provide an environment that incorporates the needs of the residents who reside in the community. 2. Resident #7 was admitted to the residence on 9/9/24 with diagnoses of Encephalopathy, history of falling, muscle weakness (generalized), Difficulty in walking, need for assistance with personal care, and Repeated falls. The record for Resident #7 revealed the resident experienced 17 falls since 6/1/25 in which there was no evidence of individualized approaches necessary to address falls risks as follows:The care plan for Resident #7, dated 9/13/24, read in part: that Resident #7 needed to be monitored for behaviors such as remaining seated until care staff is present and able to assist out of the shower.

Findings
Based on interviews and record review, the residence failed to have at least one staff member onsite at all times who had current certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and obstructed airway techniques from a nationally recognized organization, affecting 59 current residents. Specifically, the residence failed to have at least one staff member onsite at all times who had current certification in obstructed airway techniques from a nationally recognized organization, affecting all 59 current residents in the event of an obstructed airway emergency and for two sample residents (#1, #3) who required CPR in the event of an emergency for at least five shifts from 9/1-9/18. Additionally, from 9/18-9/24/24 there was no CPR certified staff scheduled for five shifts. This failure created an immediate jeopardy risk of harm to all 59 current residents in the residence. On 9/18/24, the department directed the residence to provide written evidence that the risk had been removed. Findings include: 1. Residence PolicyThe residence's resident agreement, dated June 2024, read in part that all residents have the right to receive CPR unless otherwise indicated. 2. Record ReviewFace sheets for two of five sample residents (#1, #3) required CPR in the event of an emergency. A review of the staff's CPR certification documentation revealed that four staff members (#2-#7) had a current certificate from a nationally recognized organization. Additionally, the administrator and health and wellness director (HWD) had certifications from nationally recognized organizations. The August and September 2024 schedules revealed the residence failed to have at least one staff member certified in CPR from a nationally recognized organization on duty at all times. Staff without certification or expired certifications worked on the following shifts:9/1/24 from 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. 9/6/24 from 6:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. 9/10/24 from 5:00 p.m. -10:00 p.m. 9/13/24 from 6:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. 9/17/24 from 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. The administrator and the HWD, who had certificates from a recognized organization, were unavailable to perform CPR from 9/17/24, Monday through Friday between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. and Saturday and Sunday all day. 3. InterviewsOn 9/18/24 at 11:00 a.m., the administrator stated a majority of the staff did not have current CPR certifications. She said the former HWD had scheduled a class in May 2024; however, the HWD was unwilling to fulfill her responsibilities, resulting in the class's cancellation. On 9/18/24, at approximately 1:00 p.m., the administrator provided one additional staff member (#7) CPR certificate. On 9/18/24 at approximately 1:00 p.m., the administrator stated that if an emergency occurred in which a resident required CPR or an obstructed airway technique, the staff would have had to call emergency responders because no other staff had current certification (except Staff #2-#7). She acknowledged that waiting for emergency responders to arrive could lead to potential injury, up to and including death. On 9/19/24 at 10:05 a.m., the business office manager acknowledged the failure of the residence to have only seven staff members with current CPR certificates. On 9/19/14 at 10:15 a.m., the resident care coordinator acknowledged that not having more staff with current CPR certifications created a failure if a resident required CPR. On 9/19/24 at approximately 10:30 a.m., the administrator stated that she did not know how many of her staff had current CPR certificates. Additionally, she acknowledged the failure to have at least one staff member with a current CPR certification on the schedule at all times. 4. Immediate Jeopardy Risk- Written Evidence, Immediate CorrectionThe investigation established that the findings above placed current residents at immediate jeopardy risk for the failure to ensure at least one staff member who was CPR-certified through a nationally recognized organization was onsite at all times. The residence was directed to provide the department with written evidence that the risk had been removed. Part 3.13 of the Chapter VII regulations require residences to immediately correct the circumstances that gave rise to the immediate jeopardy situation. On 9/18/24 at 2:36 p.m., the administrator submitted an email with a staff schedule that read, "A class with a nationally recognized organization on 9/23/24." Additionally, other classes would be held until all staff were CPR-certified. On 9/18/24, at approximately 2:40 p.m., the administrator was asked to create a formal document of a plan of correction on company letterhead and sign it. On 9/18/24 at 3:00 p.m., the administrator submitted additional written evidence that read, in part, that the residence would require ten staff members to take a class on 9/23/24 and would schedule more employees to get all staff current CPR certificates. Additionally, the business office manager would oversee an electronic database and would be responsible for communicating with the administrator if classes were needed. All staff were required to have a certificate, or they would be removed from the schedule and replaced with staff with a certificate. However, the written evidence did not indicate the risk had been removed because it did not include details of which staff would be certified for upcoming shifts. On 9/18/24 at 4:17 p.m., the administrator submitted additional written evidence that read, in part, that the new schedule had been posted and Staff #2-#7, who had current certificates, were added to the schedule with shifts on 9/18, 9/20, 9/24, 9/27, and 9/29/24.

Corrective ActionThe schedule was reviewed immediately and was changed to assure that at least one person on each shift was CPR certified. This schedule was posted readily available for all staff members to access. The CPR certified person on shift was highlighted for each shift. This was completed on 09/18/2024. On 09/18/2024 CPR classes were scheduled, the first class being held 09/23/2024, 21 people were certified from this class. The second class was held 10/12/2024 with 10 people being certified. The third class was held on 10/14/2024, with a total of 15 people being certified. System ChangesThe Business Office Manager or Executive Director will obtain copies of CPR certifications upon hire of all new employees before the employee begins working on the floor. If the employee does not have a CPR certification, a class will be scheduled for them. All employees for all departments will be required to have their CPR certification before beginning work. The monthly schedule from 09/18/2024 to present showed the CPR certified person highlighted. As of 10/14/2024, all facility employees are CPR certified. MonitoringThe Business Office Manager and/or the Executive Director will be responsible for maintaining the spreadsheet of required trainings for staff. This spreadsheet will be kept up to date and reviewed for accuracy for a period of 3 months beginning 10/14/2024. After three months, the practice of accuracy will be incorporated into the ongoing quarterly QAPI review process for safety purposes.
