25 | On 12/7/2023 LPA Tryon visited the facility to follow up on an incident report received by CCL. Resident R1 had fallen in his room and injured his head and received a fracture; and was hospitalized.
LPA was following up to find out how R1 is doing, prevention measures in place, etc.
LPA learned that R1 has returned to the facility and is doing okay. He has apparently returned to "baseline" and is generally "himself" at this time. His physician has recommended some treatments to strengthen him. The facility had fall prevention measures in place already including a fall alarm in his room. Unfortunately, when the alarm sounds the person has already fallen.
The facility will begin participation in a new program next week that includes recording a record of a fall, which will allow staff to study the occurrence to see if anything can be done to prevent/mitigate future falls.
The responsible parties are on board with the plan.
The facility appears to be taking appropriate measures on behalf of the resident at this time.
No deficiencies were cited at this visit.
Exit interview conducted.
