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 report an injury of unknown source, immediately,
but not later than two (2) hours after the allegation was made at 8:30 AM and reported the allegation to the
Department of Public Health (DPH) at 1:23 PM (five [5] hours after the allegation), when Resident 2 was
found having ecchymosis (a bruise) to both arms and a skin tear to the left forearm, for one (1) of five (5)
sampled residents (Resident 2), in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure [P&P] titled Abuse,
Neglect, and Exploitation.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in placing the resident at risk for undetected elder neglect
or abuse.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2 ' s admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 10/8/2024
with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), anemia (a condition
where the body did not have enough healthy red blood cells), and lack of coordination.
During a review of Resident 2 ' s History and Physical (H&P) dated 10/10/2024, indicated the resident did
not have capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 2 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a federally mandated resident assessment tool)
dated 10/15/2024, indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment (problems with a person ' s ability
to think, learn, remember, use judgement, and make decisions). The MDS indicated the resident was
dependent (Helper did all of the effort and the 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) from facility staff
with eating, hygiene, dressing, and transfers.
During a review of Resident 2 ' s Social Services Progress Note dated 11/21/2024 at 12:40 PM, indicated
the Social Services Director (SSD) interviewed the resident regarding an abuse allegation. The SSD stated
initially the resident stated someone had grabbed and hit her but later revised her story and said no one
had hit her. The SSD stated the resident seemed confused and disoriented throughout the conversation.
The Progress note indicated the SSD assured the resident that she was in a safe environment and the
facility staff was always available to support her with any needs.
During a review of the Facility ' s Faxed Confirmation Report dated 11/21/2024 at 1:23 PM, indicated the
facility reported an abuse allegation for Resident 2 to DPH at 1:23 PM (five hours after the allegation).

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one (1) of five (5) sampled residents (Resident 1),
who was assessed at risk for falls and diagnoses of dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental
abilities) and age-related osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones due to lack of calcium and Vitamin D) was
free from falls and injury in accordance with the resident ' s care plan by failing to:
1. Ensure Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 prevented Resident 1, who was assessed as totally
dependent to staff for bathing/showers, from falling in the Shower Room while sitting on the shower chair.
On 11/30/2024, Resident 1 fell on her left side when the resident opened the arm rest of her shower chair
while CNA 1 bent over to fix the hem (an edge that is folded over and stitched down to prevent threads
coming loose) of her [CNA 1] pants.
2. Ensure CNA 1 notified Registered Nurse (RN) 1 when Resident 1 fell from the shower chair and placed
the resident back on the shower chair, after the resident fell on [DATE] timed at 10:30 AM.
3. Ensure CNA 1 did not move and transfer Resident 1 back to the shower chair, prior to a licensed nurse
assessing the resident for injuries in accordance with the facility ' s Policy and Procedure (P&P) on
Incidents and Accidents.
As a result of this deficient practice, on 11/30/2024 at around 11:10 AM, RN 1 heard Resident 1 screaming
and yelling from the resident's room and observed Resident 1 with left upper arm swelling (the enlargement
of organs, skin, or other body parts), moaning and grimacing in pain, with sad/frightened/frown. The X-ray
(electromagnetic [relating to the electrical and magnetic forces produced by an electric current] waves that
create pictures of the inside of your body) report taken at the facility indicated the resident had a
moderately displaced oblique (having a slanting direction or position/angle) fracture (a broken bone that
happens suddenly due to a traumatic injury) of the distal diaphysis (the main or midsection of a long bone)
of the left humerus (upper arm bone), consistent with an acute fracture (a broken bone that happens
suddenly due to a traumatic injury, like a fall causing immediate pain and noticeable damage to the bone).
Resident 1 was transferred to the general acute care hospital (GACH) on 11/30/2024 at 8:11 PM for further
treatment. It was determined in the GACH that Resident 1 was not a good candidate for surgery and
therefore received non-operative treatment (medical treatment that does not involve surgery) at the GACH
that included medication management for pain control. A left humerus fracture splint [a brace that supports
and immobilizes the shoulder or arm to help with healing after an injury] was placed to the resident ' s left
arm and to continue with non-weight bearing (you are not allowed to put any weight on a specific body part)
to the left upper extremity.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record [AR], the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident
on 6/22/2021, with diagnoses including history of falling, age-related osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones
due to lack of calcium and Vitamin D) without current pathological fracture (a broken bone that occurs when
a disease weakens the bone, making the bone more likely to break than normal), and abnormalities in gait
(a person ' s manner of walking) and mobility (a change to a person ' s walking pattern).

left side with the shower chair to the floor. CNA 1 stated the shower chair arm rest was secured prior to the
resident falling but Resident 1 was still able to open the arm rest to the shower chair. CNA 1 stated that
when she saw Resident 1 getting up, CNA 1 tried to get to Resident 1 but was not able to catch the resident
because by the time she could get to the resident, Resident 1 already touched the ground. CNA 1 stated
she had her hand on the resident ' s stomach when she attempted to get to her, to make sure the resident '
s head does not hit the ground.

she attempted to call another CNA to assist her, but nobody came, so CNA 1 picked up Resident 1 by
herself, along with the shower chair. CNA 1 stated another CNA [CNA 3] came after Resident 1 was
already back up in the shower chair, to ask what happened, but she told CNA 3 that nothing happened and
did not mention Resident 1 fell. CNA 1 stated she proceeded to take Resident 1 back to bed. CNA 1 stated
when she put Resident 1 back to bed, she noticed the resident ' s left arm was swollen. CNA 1 stated when
RN 1 came to the resident ' s room and asked if Resident 1 fell, CNA 1 did not tell RN 1 that the resident
fell from the shower chair to the floor. CNA 1 stated she told RN 1 that Resident 1 ' s left arm was already
swollen when she came to assist the resident that morning [11/30/2024]. CNA 1 stated she did not tell
anyone in the facility what actually happened [Resident 1 falling from the shower chair in the shower room]
on 11/30/2024, because she was scared.
During an interview on 12/5/2024 at 2:17 PM, CNA 3 stated when CNA 1 called for help because the
resident ' s arm looked different on 11/30/2024, Resident 1 was already back in the room and observed the
resident ' s arm was swollen. CNA 3 told CNA 1 to inform RN 1, and both walked out of the room. CNA 3
stated if a resident would have an incident of fall and the resident was on the floor, it is the facility ' s policy
to not move the resident and instead call for help and report to the licensed nurse to assess the resident.
During an interview on 12/5/2024 at 2:38 PM, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 stated if a resident fell,
she would call the RN Supervisor to help assess the resident for any swelling, pain, or injury. LVN 1 stated
not moving the resident was important to see the position the resident was in and to avoid further harm to
the resident.
During an interview on 12/5/2024 at 3:17 PM, the DSD stated unlicensed staff like CNAs were expected to
ask for help and should not have moved or lifted a resident until help arrived because the licensed nurse
would need to do an assessment. The DSD stated the CNAs must wait before moving the resident for
safety issues because moving the resident would cause more harm to the resident.
During an interview on 12/5/2024 at 3:30 PM, RN 2, who was assisting the Director of Nursing at the
facility, stated she expects the facility staff to call for assistance and not do anything by themselves, if a
resident falls because the facility staff may not be knowledgeable to assess the resident. RN 2 stated CNA
1 should have called for help/assistance from a licensed nurse to be able to assess if Resident 1 was safe
to move, after the resident fell on [DATE]. RN 2 stated CNA 1 should have called for help instead of moving
Resident 1 back to the shower chair and to bed.
During an interview on 12/13/2024 at 3:54 PM, the DSD stated since Resident 1 was totally dependent to
staff for shower/bathing, CNA 1 should not have taken her eyes off Resident 1 and should not have left
Resident 1 in the shower chair while she reached down to tuck her pants in to her socks. The DSD stated
CNA 1 informed her during her post-interview with CNA 1 that on 11/30/2024, Resident 1 was being
resistant when she placed the resident on the shower chair. The DSD stated CNA 1 should have asked
another CNA to assist her on 11/30/2024, since Resident 1 was being resistant so CNA 1 would not have
to take her eyes off [Resident 1]. The DSD stated that CNA 1 should have followed the facility ' s policy for
Incidents and Accidents that indicated not to move a resident after a fall to prevent further harm because a
licensed nurse need to know and assess the resident and notify the physician.
During a review of the facility ' s P&P titled, Incidents and Accidents, dated 12/19/2022, the P&P indicated
the purpose of reporting an incident which is defined as an occurrence or situation that is not consistent
with the routine care of a resident or with the routine operation of the
