- J Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and document review, the facility failed to provide adequate assistance as identified by the care plan to prevent accidents when transferring 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for accidents. This failure resulted in R1 sustaining serious injuries requiring hospitalization and surgery. The immediate jeopardy began on 10/2/23 at approximately 1:05 p.m. when while R1 was transferred by nursing assistant (NA)-A with one assist instead of two as directed by the care plan, became weak and fell to the floor. R1 sustained an open fracture of her left ankle which required surgical intervention and an extended stay at a hospital. The administrator and director of nursing (DON) were notified of the IJ on 10/13/23 at 3:15 p.m. The facility had implemented corrective action to prevent reoccurrence by 10/3/23, therefore, F689 is being issued at past non-compliance.
