F 0609 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. **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 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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.
