**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to notify the physician of a significant change in
condition for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) when,1.The facility did not notify Resident 1's
physician after Resident 1 had consistent moderate to severe hip pain and decreased mobility following a
fall on 1/31/26. This failure resulted in Resident 1's left hip fracture (break) going undiagnosed for six days
resulting in Resident 1 experiencing pain and a decline in the ability to move in bed, transfer (move from
one location to another) from the bed to a wheelchair, (a wheeled mobility device, designed as a chair for
individuals with limited mobility due to illness, injury, or disability) maintain a standing position, and
ambulate (walk) over 50 feet (unit of measurement) while using a front wheeled walker (FWW - a
lightweight, four-legged metal frame designed to help people walk with better balance and stability).
Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE] with a diagnosis that included bilateral primary osteoarthritis (a progressive disorder of the joints,
caused by a gradual loss of cartilage) of the left hip and vascular dementia (a progressive state of decline
in mental abilities).A review of Resident 1's clinical document titled, Nurses Note, dated 1/31/26, indicated,
Resident 1 had an unwitnessed fall at around 7:30 AM. Resident was found on the floor in his room lying on
his left side right next to his bed.Upon assessment, resident reported pain scale of 5/10 [a 1 through 10
numerical pain scale that measures the intensity and impact of pain on daily life: 0 = no pain, 1 through 3 =
mild pain, 4 through 6 = moderate pain, 7 through 9 = severe pain, and 10 = the worst pain imaginable] on
the left site [sic] of the hip . Painful to touch. Pain was sharp.Notified . the Medical Doctor [MD]. Order
received as following: Norco [a strong pain medication only available with a prescription] . for moderate to
severe pain 4-10/10 [pain medication ordered for pain of 4 out of 10 through 10 out of 10 using the
numerical pain scale] PRN [as needed] Q [every] 6hrs [hours] .A review of Resident 1's clinical document
titled, Order Summary Report, dated 1/1/26 through 1/31/26, indicated Resident 1 had a physician's order
dated 1/10/26 for acetaminophen 325 MG (milligrams, unit of measurement) 2 tablets by mouth every 6
hours as needed for a pain score of 1 through 3 (mild pain) and a physician's order dated 1/31/26 for
hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 MG (Norco) give 1 tablet orally every 6 hours as needed for a pain
score of 4 through 10 (moderate to severe pain) on a 1-10 numerical pain scale.A review of Resident 1's
clinical document titled, MEDICAL NECESSITY-PHYSICIAN FOLLOW-UP VISIT NOTE, dated 2/1/26,
indicated, .Seen and examined today for change of condition related to.recent unwitnessed fall with
reported pain . New order: Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen [Norco] 5/325 mg. give [sic] 1 tablet PO [by

Notes, dated 1/31/26 through 2/6/26, indicated that at no time was Resident 1's physician made aware of
Resident 1's significant pain increase and the declines in Resident 1's inability to move in bed, stand to
transfer, bear weight while sitting up in a wheelchair, or walk.During an interview on 2/20/26, at 2:23 PM,
with CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) 1, CNA 1 stated that on 1/31/26 Resident 1 was assisted back to
bed after the unwitnessed fall, but Resident 1 was in quite a bit of pain and Resident 1 had difficulty rolling
from side to side in the bed as he had been able to do prior to the fall. CNA 1 stated after the unwitnessed
fall on 1/31/26, it took two CNAs to help him move in bed, unlike before when it had only taken one CNA.
CNA 1 stated that Resident 1 was unable to fully extend his left leg.During an interview on 2/20/26, at 4:23
PM, with CNA 3, CNA 3 stated that on 2/1/26 CNA 3 and another CNA attempted to provide incontinent
care (the management of involuntary bladder or bowel leakage) to Resident 1 while he was in bed,
Resident 1 was not able to turn in bed using the handrail (a device attached to the bed to assist with
repositioning in bed) to pull himself to the side of the bed as he had been able to do prior to the fall on
1/31/26. CNA 3 stated that Resident 1 cried out in pain and stated, 'please, no' repeatedly. CNA 3 stated
that Resident 1's pain level and inability to turn in bed was reported to Licensed Nurse (LN) 1.During a
concurrent interview and record review on 2/19/26 at 1:30 PM with LN 1, Resident 1's clinical document
titled, Nurse Note, dated 1/31/26, which contained information regarding Resident 1's pain level, mobility
level, and physician notification of a change of condition was reviewed. LN 1 stated a change of condition in
a resident, whether it was an improvement or decline should have been reported to the resident's
physician. LN 1 confirmed the Nurse Notes, dated 1/31/26 indicated that on 1/31/26 Resident 1 complained
of pain rated at 5/10 when the left hip was touched and there was some decrease in Resident 1's ability to
fully move the left leg. LN 1 stated he notified Resident 1's physician of the unwitnessed fall (1/31/26) and
resulting pain and the MD gave an order for hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Norco). LN 1 stated that
Resident 1's physician came to the facility on 2/1/26 and gave a routine order for an x-ray to both hips and
pelvis. LN 1 stated the order request was given to social services (a department in the facility that sets up
resident's appointments) to schedule the x-ray to be completed at the acute hospital on 2/6/26.During a
concurrent interview and record review on 2/20/26 at 8:10 AM with PT (Physical Therapist), Resident 1's
Physical Therapy Treatment Encounter Note(s), Occupational Therapy Treatment Note(s), both dated
1/12/26 through 2/6/26, and Resident 1's record was examined for any Stop and Watch forms [a checklist
used by caregivers to identify early signs of a resident's change in condition] were reviewed. PT stated
Resident 1 was able to fully straighten the left leg without pain and had full range of motion (ROM), walked
between 50 and 60 feet with the use of a FWW and contact guard prior to the fall on 1/31/26. PT stated that
after the unwitnessed fall on 1/31/26, Resident 1 was not able to walk at all, could not bear weight on the
left leg, was not able to extend or move the left leg, and could not roll from side to side in bed without
severe pain. PT confirmed that this information was not documented as being communicated to the

could have been provided.During a follow up concurrent interview and record review on 2/24/26 at 11:03
AM with LN 1, Resident 1's clinical record for physician notifications from the dates of 1/31/26 through
2/6/26 were reviewed. LN 1 stated that following Resident 1's unwitnessed fall, LN 1 suspected that
Resident 1 had a possible dislocation or fracture of the left hip because of Resident 1's increased pain level
and inability to fully straighten the left leg. LN 1 was unable to confirm that he had documented reporting
this information to the physician. LN 1 stated that from 1/31/26 through 2/6/26 therapy had reported that
Resident 1 experienced moderate to severe pain of the left hip and a decrease in mobility. LN 1 stated he
did not report it to the physician because the hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Norco) was effective in
reducing Resident 1's pain and there was an x-ray scheduled to be completed on 2/6/26. LN 1 stated that
the CNAs had reported that Resident 1 was having pain during incontinent changes, bed mobility and
transfers and that prior to the unwitnessed fall on 1/31/26 pain was never reported as a concern during
these ADL tasks.During an interview on 2/24/26 at 12:32 PM with Resident 1's physician (MD), the MD
stated that he expected the licensed nurses, physical and occupational therapists to have reported changes
of condition in any resident they were treating. The MD stated that when the LN reported Resident 1's
unwitnessed fall on 1/31/26, the report did not include that Resident 1 had any change in Resident 1's
ability to bear weight on the left leg or fully extend or flex the left leg. The MD stated he ordered the x-ray to
be done as routine instead of STAT (no delay) based on his assessment on 2/1/26 and the report he
received from LN 1. The MD stated that from 2/1/26 through 2/6/26 he was not contacted by a licensed
nurse or a therapist regarding any decline in Resident 1's ability to bear weight on the left leg, transfer from
a sitting to standing position, roll side to side in bed, or walk. The MD stated had the facility reported those
issues, he would have sent Resident 1 to [ACUTE CARE HOSPITAL] for further evaluation sooner than
2/6/26.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/24/26 at 3:16 PM with the Director of Nurses
(DON), Resident 1's Progress Notes, dated 1/31/26 through 2/6/26 that contained information regarding
Resident 1's fall, pain, mobility decline, and physician notification were reviewed. The DON stated
assessments of a possible change of condition should have been coordinated between a Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) and a Registered Nurse (RN). The DON stated that therapy staff should have also
discussed Resident 1's change of condition with a licensed nurse or the MD for further evaluation and
treatment. The DON confirmed that there was no documentation that indicated Resident 1's mobility
declines and Resident 1's prolonged moderate to severe pain concerns were communicated to Resident
1's physician by a LN, PT, or OT. The DON stated that not reporting these declines and ongoing pain
concerns to Resident 1's physician, delayed the diagnosis of Resident 1's left hip fracture and resulting
treatment and caused Resident 1 to have continued declines in his mobility as well as unneeded pain and
suffering.During a concurrent interview and review on 2/25/26 at 2:24 PM with the DON of the facility's
policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Assessing Falls and Their Causes, dated 1/25, was reviewed. The P&P
indicated, .Document any observed signs or symptoms of pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, and/or
decreased mobility. The DON stated that any of these signs or symptoms would be considered a change of
condition and as such should have been reported to Resident 1's physician for further assessment and
treatment.A review of the facility's P&P titled, Acute Condition Changes-Clinical Protocol, dated 1/25,
indicated, . Treatment and Management . The physician will help identify and authorize appropriate
treatments .If it is decided after sufficient review, that care of observation cannot reasonably be provided in
the facility, the physician will authorize transfer to an acute hospital . Monitoring and Follow-Up The staff will

standards of practice for one of four sampled residents (Resident 2) when,1. The facility did not monitor
Resident 2's fasting blood glucose (FSBS, measures the amount of sugar [glucose] in the blood, which
serves as the body's main energy source) results before Resident 2 ate breakfast for 11 out of 13 days or
ensure Resident 2 did not need further treatment to maintain safe blood glucose levels.This failure placed
Resident 2 at risk for experiencing further health complications related to possible fluctuations in blood
sugar (hyperglycemic [high blood sugar with can cause confusion and blurred vision] and/or hypoglycemic
[low blood sugar which can cause rapid heartbeat, confusion, dizziness, headache and/or loss of
consciousness]).Findings: 1. A review of Resident 2's clinical document titled, admission RECORD,
indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis that included but were not limited
to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM Type 2 - a chronic condition where the body cannot properly use or make
enough insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels), osteomyelitis (a serious infection within the bone,
usually caused by bacteria or fungi), and non-pressure chronic ulcer of left heel and midfoot, (a
long-lasting, slow-to-heal open sore on the back or middle part of the left foot, caused by underlying issues
like poor circulation, diabetes, or nerve damage rather than direct pressure) and cellulitis of the left lower
limb (a common, potentially serious bacterial infection of the deep layers of the skin and the tissue
underneath on your left leg).A review of Resident 2's clinical document titled, Order Summary Report,
dated 12/1/25 through 12/31/25 indicated on 12/24/25 Resident 2's physician had given the following order,
FSBS before breakfast. In [sic] the morning for DM Type 2 Notify MD for BG [blood glucose] more than
200mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter - measure the concentration of a substance, commonly blood sugar
within a specific volume of blood).A review of Resident 2's clinical document titled, Physician Progress
Note, dated 12/30/25, indicated .Continue current diabetes management regimen. Monitor blood glucose
levels closely to support wound healing.A review of Resident 2's clinical document titled, Care Plan Report,
dated 12/31/25, indicated a focus problem of nausea [feeling sick to one's stomach] and vomiting with a
corresponding goal that indicated, .Patient will have better control of BG in 14 days . Further review of the
same document indicated there were no interventions that addressed how Resident 2 was to meet the goal
for better control of BG in 14 days.A review of Resident 2's clinical document titled, MEDICAL NECESSITY
- PHYSICIAN FOLLOW-UP VISIT NOTE, dated 1/1/26, indicated .Seen and examined today for follow-up of
reported change in condition due to nausea/vomiting.ASSESSMENT & PLAN.Nausea/Vomiting Monitor
frequency and tolerance of oral intake.Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.Monitor blood glucose per facility protocol.A
review of Resident 2's clinical document titled, MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION RECORD, (MAR, a
document that contains the resident's list of ordered medications and pertinent lab values related to the
medications ordered) dated 12/1/25 through 12/31/25, indicated there were no FSBS test done before
breakfast on 12/24/25, 12/25/25, 12/27/25, 12/29/25, 12/30/25, and 12/31/25. A review of Resident 2's
clinical document titled, MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION RECORD, dated 1/1/26 through 1/31/26,
indicated there was no FSBS test done before breakfast on 1/1/26, 1/2/26, 1/3/26, 1/5/26, and 1/6/26, and
there was a blood glucose result of 256 mg/dl (high result, normal fasting blood glucose is 70 and 100
mg/dl) documented on 1/6/26 at 8:30 AM.During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/20/26 at
3:24 PM with LN 2, Resident 2's Order Summary Report, dated 12/1/25 through 12/31/25; MAR, dated
12/1/25 through 12/31/25 and 1/1/26 through 1/31/26; and Blood Sugar Summary, dated 12/24/25 through

started on 12/24/25 to check Resident 2's blood sugar levels before breakfast to report any results that
were greater than 200mg/dl to Resident 2's physician. LN 2 stated that the blood glucose results were
supposed to be checked and documented in Resident 2's clinical record. LN 2 confirmed Resident 2's blood
sugar checks (before breakfast) had not been completed for 11 out of 13 days from 12/24/25 through
1/6/26. LN 2 stated that the risk of not checking and assessing the results of the blood sugar placed
Resident 2 at risk for hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic episodes that if left unidentified and untreated, placed
Resident 2 at risk for serious health complications.During a concurrent interview and record review on
2/25/26 at 2:24 PM with the DON, Resident 2's Order Summary Report, dated 12/24/25 for FSBS checks,
Resident 2's MAR, and the Blood Sugar Summary results from 12/24/25 through 1/6/26 were reviewed. The
DON stated breakfast trays were delivered between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. The DON confirmed that on
1/6/26, Resident 2's blood glucose was 256 mg/dl, the physician was not notified, and no treatment was
administered for hyperglycemia. The DON also verified 11 of 13 missing FSBS tests between 12/24/25
through 1/6/26. The DON stated the lack of interventions for the elevated blood glucose result and lack of
FSBS placed Resident 2 at risk for further health complications related to fluctuations in Resident 2's blood
sugar.During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Obtaining a Fingerstick Glucose Level, dated 1/25, the
P&P indicated, .The licensed nurse performing this procedure should record the following information in the
resident's medical record.The blood sugar results.Report results outside of physician ordered parameters
promptly to the supervisor and the physician.and professional standards of practice.A review of the facility's
P&P titled, Acute Condition Changes-Clinical Protocol, dated 1/25, indicated, . Treatment and Management
