State Findings:
Based on facility policy review, medical record review and interview, the facility failed to provide supervision and assistance for 3 of 4 residents (Resident #60, #4, and #57) reviewed for falls with major injury which placed these residents in Immediate Jeopardy when Resident #60 experienced a fall which resulted in a C7 fracture ([MEDICAL CONDITION] neck vertebra) and a second fall which resulted in a Proximal (point of attachment) Left [MEDICAL CONDITION]. Resident #4 experienced a fall which resulted in a Traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (bleeding in the space between the brain and the tissue covering the brain related to trauma). Resident #4 then developed new onset [MEDICAL CONDITION] activity after the fall. Resident #57 was left unattended in the bathroom, fell while self-toileting, and sustained a Left Humerus (upper arm) fracture.
The facility’s noncompliance placed Resident #60, #4 and #57 in Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) (a situation in which the provider’s noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused, or is likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident).
