R1 was admitted to the facility on 11/23/23 from a rehabilitation facility. There was no documentation in R1’s admitting paperwork that he was a fall risk. On the morning of 11/24/23 R1 was found on the floor of his bedroom next to his bed by care staff and a therapist. 911 was called and R1 was sent to Kaiser emergency department for further evaluation. It was discovered that R1 had pneumonia and would remain in the hospital for treatment. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** Unsubstantiated ***report continues from LIC9099*** R1 returned to the facility on 11/28/23.
