Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to implement its abuse policy and procedures when the
facility failed to report to the Survey State Agency (SSA) an injury of unknown origin with 24 hours for one
of three sampled residents (Resident 1). On 8/16/2024 at 12:22 pm, Resident 1 was found on the floor with
discoloration to the left of his face and a 0.5-centimeter (cm-unit of measurement) scratch to the right side
of the nose.
On 8/20/2024, the hemodialysis (a medical procedure to remove fluid and waste products from the blood)
center reported to Resident 1's physician that the resident had bruising and swelling to the left side of the
face. The physician ordered for Resident to be transferred to a General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for
further evaluation and management. The facility never reported Resident's 1 injuries to the SSA.
This deficient practice resulted in delayed investigation of Resident 1's injuries by the SSA.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD- a
permanent condition that occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to function properly and filter waste
from the blood. It's the final stage of chronic kidney disease and requires dialysis [a treatment that
replicates the kidney's function and cleans the waste from blood for individuals with kidney disease or
kidney failure] or a kidney transplant to survive) the body ' s response to infection causes injury to its own
tissues and organs), encephalopathy (a disease in which the functioning of the brain is affected by some
agent or condition-such as viral infection or toxins in the blood), type II diabetes (a chronic condition that
affects the way the body processes blood sugar), and dementia (a decline in cognitive abilities that can
impact a person's ability to perform everyday tasks).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized comprehensive assessment
and screening tool), dated 8/11/2024, indicated Resident 1's cognitive skill (mental action or process of
acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision-making were severely impaired and required
between partial/moderate assistance to substantial/maximal assistance for activities of daily living
(ADL-upper and lower body dressing, putting and taking off footwear, toileting hygiene, oral hygiene and
personal hygiene).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical (a medical record used by a physician/health care
provider to document the findings following examination of a patient) dated 8/15/2024

Assistant (CNA) assigned to resident [Resident 1] informed the charge nurse that the resident ' s safety
alarm went off and CNA immediately checked [Resident 1 ' s] room and found the resident [Resident 1] on
top of the floor mat. On the same document, under assessment or resident/describe injury, indicated the
resident had a small blood and had sustained discoloration (a change in the natural skin tone) on the right
side of the resident ' s face.
Residents Affected - Few

verbal communication tool used to provide essential and concise information, usually during crucial
situations) dated 8/16/2024 at 12:22 pm, indicated, Resident 1 was noted on the floor and had discoloration
to the left of his face and a 0.5 cm scratch to the right side of the resident ' s nose. The SBAR indicated that
there was blood on the floor.
A review of a physician ' s order dated 8/20/2024 indicated, Transferred to General Acute Care Hospital
(GACH) emergency room (ER) via 911 (a number used for emergencies only. An emergency is any serious
medical problem (chest pain, seizure, bleeding), any type of fire (business, car, building), any
life-threatening situation (fights, person with weapons, etc.) or to report crimes in progress) from Dialysis
Center (Left eye bruise, swollen)
During an observation of Resident 1 on 9/4/2024 at 1:50 pm, Resident 1 was observed to have
reddish-purple bruising (skin discoloration from damaged, leaking blood vessels underneath your skin) to
the left side of his face.
The bruising covered the left temple (the area just behind and to the side of the forehead and the eye),
around the left eye, which was swollen, left cheek, jaw line, left ear as well as the left side of his neck
extending to the back of the neck.
During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CAN 1) on 9/4/2024 at 2:20 pm, CNA 1 stated that
on 8/16/2024 at around midmorning, CNA 1 heard a bed alarm coming from Resident 1 ' s room and

nose that was being tended to by the nursing staff. The SW confirmed and stated that Resident 1 had
bruising to the left side of the face. The SW confirmed and stated that Resident 1 ' s injury is considered an
injury of unknown origin because no one had witnessed how Resident 1 sustained the injury. The SW
stated and acknowledged that injuries of unknown origins must be reported to the SSA.
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/4/2024 at 3:15pm, the DON confirmed and
stated that Resident 1 ' s injuries (bruising to the left side of the face) were of unknown origin and must be
reported to the SSA. The DON stated that the importance of reporting is to ensure that an investigation is
completed to rule out abuse.

During an interview with the Administrator (AD) on 9/12/2024 at 9:40 am, the AD stated that he thought that
the staff at the facility had reported the injuries to the SSA as an unwitnessed fall. The AD insisted that staff
knew that Resident 1 had a fall even though none of the facility staff observed Resident 1 falling. The AD
stated, It is not brain surgery to figure out that that he [Resident 1] had a fall. The AD insisted that he had
investigated Resident 1 ' s fall, however, the AD did not have documented evidence to corroborate the AD '
s claim.
A review of the facility ' s policy and procedures (P&P) titled Investigating Injuries/Injury of Unknown Source
revised on 1/29/2024, indicated, The administrator will ensure that all injuries are investigated. Injury of
unknown source is defined as an injury that meets both of the following conditions:
a. The source of the injury was not observed by any person, or the source of the injury could not be
explained by the resident; and included the following:
b. The injury is suspicious because of:
(I) The extent of the injury; or
(2) The location of the injury (e.g., the injury is located in an area not generally vulnerable to trauma).
The same P&P indicated to follow the protocols set forth by the facility ' s abuse policy.
During a review of the facility ' s P&P titled Unusual Occurrence Reporting, reviewed 1/29/2024 indicated,
the P & P indicated As required by federal or state regulations, our facility reports unusual occurrences or
other reportable events which affect the health, safety, or welfare of our residents, employees, or visitors. A
written report detailing the incident and actions taken shall be delivered to the SSA within 48hours and that
the administrator will keep a copy of the report.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse Investigation and Reporting, reviewed 1/29/2024,
indicated, the P & P indicated All reports of resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of
resident property, mistreatment and/or injuries of unknown source (abuse) shall be promptly reported to
local, state, and federal agencies (as defined by current regulations) and thoroughly investigated by facility
management. Findings of abuse investigations will also be reported. The same P&P indicated that, the
ombudsman will be notified about the investigation and an invitation offered to participate in the review
process. An alleged violation of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment (including injuries of unknown
source and misappropriation of resident property) will be reported immediately, but not later than:
a. Two (2) hours if the alleged violation involves abuse OR has resulted in serious bodily injury; or
b. Twenty-four (24) hours if the alleged violation does not involve abuse AND has not resulted in serious
