Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its abuse prevention policy when they
did not report an unusual occurrence of an acute new distal femur fracture (a break in the lower part of the
thighbone, near the knee joint) of unknown cause to the State Survey Agency (California Department of
Public Health - CDPH) within 24 hours of the occurrence, for one of the three sampled residents (Resident
1).
This failure had the potential for resident harm and/or death, due to CDPH ' s inability to promptly
investigate the possibility of resident abuse in the facility. This delayed CDPH response to ensure Resident
1 was safe and free from possible abuse and/or mistreatment in the facility and had the potential for other
unusual occurrences to go unreported.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record (the front page of the chart that contains a summary of
basic information about the resident), dated 5/19/2025, the admission Record indicated, the facility
originally admitted Resident 1 on 2/28/2024, then re-admitted Resident 1 on 5/8/2025, with diagnoses that
included age-related osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones due to lack of calcium and vitamin D) without
current pathological fracture (broken bone caused by disease), dementia (a progressive state of decline in
mental abilities), and contracture of the right knee (the tissues around the joint have become stiff or tight,
limiting the knee's ability to move freely).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical, dated 5/9/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did
not have the capacity to understand nor make decisions.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set, (MDS — a federally mandated resident
assessment tool), dated 2/24/2025, the MDS indicated, Resident 1 was dependent on assistance (helper
performs all the effort. Resident did none of the effort to complete the activity. Or the assistance of two or
more helpers was required for the resident to complete the activity).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Radiology Result Report X-ray (a photograph of the internal composition
of a body part) of the right knee, dated 5/4/2025, the report indicated Resident 1 had an acute mildly
displaced supracondylar fracture of the distal femur.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Progress Notes, dated 5/6/2025, the documentation indicated the results
of Resident 1 ' s X-ray were reported to the facility on 5/4/2025.
During a review of the facility ' s fax transmittal document, dated 5/7/2025, the document
