The Alleged Victim (AV) had a known history of falls and was care planned for frequent checks.

AV was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with a broken wrist. After this fall, the facility put into place a change of condition and updated his/her care plan, however, did not put into place person specific interventions to anticipate AV's needs to reduce the risk of falls. AV suffered two additional falls, one with injury and one without. The facility's failure to properly care plan is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
