An investigation determined there were no interventions documented or formally implemented after any of AV's falls from October 2020 through November 2020. Although it was a known protocol to not leave AV alone in his/her wheelchair due to his/her risk of falling, the facility did not provide staff with documented instructions to implement this protocol. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
