**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to report an unusual occurrence to the state
agency. Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated
Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a readmission on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses
included diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound
healing), hypertension (HTN- high blood pressure), and hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and
trunk on the same side of the body). During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P), dated
2/6/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 7/22/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 1 was not able to stand, or walk 10 feet. Resident 1 was dependent (helper
does all the effort) on staff to transfer from chair to bed.During a review of Resident 1's care plan, dated
2/1/2025, the care plan indicated Resident 1 had impaired mobility. The care plan interventions indicated
the facility would use the appropriate assistive device. The facility would provide the level of assistance that
meets the residents' needs. The Charge Nurse will be notified if the resident complained of pain when
performing or receiving assistance.During a review of Resident 1's Physical Therapy Progress Report for
certification period 5/26/2025-6/22/2025, the report indicated Resident 1 was mostly bedbound and
occasionally up in her wheelchair via hoyer lift. The report further indicated Resident 1needed maximum
assist with bed mobility and was non-ambulatory for a long time. Resident 1's baseline was total
dependence with bed mobility.During a review of Resident 1's Occupational Therapy Progress Report for
certification period 5/26/2025-6/22/2025, the report indicated Resident 1 used a hoyer lift for
transfers.During a review of Resident 1's Radiology Results Report, dated 7/31/2025, the report indicated
Resident 1 had a mildly displaced fracture of the right medial malleolus (bone on the inner side of the
ankle) and a nondisplaced fracture of the lateral malleolus (bone on the outer side of the ankle).During a
review of Resident 1's General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) records, dated 8/2/2025-8/4/2025, the records
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the hospital on [DATE] and underwent an open reduction and internal
fixation (ORIF- a surgical procedure used to treat a bone fracture) of the right ankle on 8/3/2025.During an
interview on 8/5/2025 at 11:53 a.m. with the Family Member (FM), the FM stated Resident 1 went out to a
doctor's appointment on 7/16/2025 and when she returned staff transferred Resident 1 back to bed. The
FM stated Resident 1 is bedbound (being confined to a bed due to illness or physical limitations) and is
supposed to be transferred with a hoyer lift (a mechanical device used to safely transfer patients who have
mobility limitations). Staff requested another Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to come assist with the
transfer. The FM stepped out into the hallway and the door was closed. The FM heard Resident 1 scream
You broke my foot. The FM entered the room and found Resident 1 in bed crying and asking for pain
medication. The FM asked the CNA what happened, and the CNA did not respond,

just shrugged his shoulders and left the room. On 7/31/2025 the FM noticed Resident 1's legs were swollen
and reported it to the nurse. The FM requested an X-ray be done. The FM was notified the next day the
Xray was completed and showed the right ankle was fractured. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:50
a.m. with the CNA, the CNA stated on 7/16/2025 he assisted transferring Resident 1 to the bed using a
2-person assist. The CNA stated he and the assigned nurse placed an arm under Resident 1's armpit and
held her waistline, then transferred her to bed. Resident 1 did not have complaints after being placed in
bed. The CNA stated he received training on how to transfer residents during his CNA course. If you don't
use the right technique to transfer a resident they can be injured. The CNA received training on use of the
hoyer lift at the facility. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 1:43 p.m. with the Registered Nurse (RN), the RN
stated on 8/1/2025 X-ray results were received and indicated Resident 1 had a right ankle fracture.
Resident 1 was assessed and there was no swelling, redness, or bruising noted on the ankle. Resident 1
complained of soreness when the right ankle was touched. The RN notified the FM Resident 1 had an
ankle fracture and we don't know how it happened. The RN stated, This was a new injury and how it
happened was unknown. The RN had not previously heard anything about the Resident having a fracture.
The FM then told the RN staff were placing Resident 1 back to bed on 7/16/2025 and the FM heard
Resident 1 scream. Resident 1 stated my leg is hurting. The RN stated this is a red flag because Resident 1
was complaining of pain and no one knew what happened. The RN stated the FM informed her Resident 1
has complained of pain since that day. The RN stated the signs of abuse are bruising, fractures, and
swelling. Resident 1 has a fracture. The fracture is unknown, so it looks like it can possibly be abuse. The
RN reported the fracture and information received from the FM to the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON
just said okay, and she would continue the process. It was important to notify the DON because the DON
needed to notify the Administrator (ADM). The ADM needs to report the incident to police, the state
department, and the ombudsman. You must report it immediately to the state department so they will know
there is abuse in the facility. You must report to ensure the resident is safe. The RN did not report the
incident to state agencies because the DON did not inform her to. The DON and ADM usually report
incidents to agencies.During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 10:57 a.m. with the DON, the DON stated she
received the X-ray results on 7/31/2025. The doctor requested a repeat X-ray to confirm the findings. The
DON started an investigation and completed and incident report because the incident was classified as an
unusual occurrence. The DON refused to state when the investigation was started. The DON stated the FM
told her someone hit Resident 1's foot on something. The DON stated the resident was injured in the facility.
The DON stated the CNA used a 2-person transfer to assist Resident 1 back to bed. DON stated she
cannot say with 100% certainty the resident's foot was hit on something. The DON stated the incident is not
an injury of unknown origin, It's an unusual occurrence. Resident 1 said staff bumped her foot. Staff denied
bumping Resident 1's foot. The DON stated she did not report the incident because they know how it
happened. The DON trusts what Resident 1 told her. Injuries of unknown origin must be reported to the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH) so someone can investigate to find out what happened. You
should report within 24 hours. It takes a bit of force to cause a fracture. The fracture could have happened
here or while she was out. Staff would know if Resident 1's foot got caught on something. The DON stated
she trusts what Resident 1 told her because the resident is alert and oriented. During an interview on
8/7/2025 at 11:55 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated on the date of incident staff called a tall man
(confirmed by staff as the CNA) to help transfer her to bed. Resident 1 was in her wheelchair. The guy
grabbed Resident 1's feet and a lady grabbed her shoulders. Resident 1 stated when the CNA grabbed her
feet during the transfer she screamed. When

Resident 1 screamed the FM entered the room and asked why she was crying. Resident 1 stated He hurt
my foot. Resident 1 stated staff have not transferred her like that before. Resident 1 doesn't know what
came in contact with her foot. Resident 1 stated staff sometimes use a hoyer to transfer her. Resident 1 had
pain all night after the incident. When Resident 1 found out her ankle was fractured, she cried. During an
interview on 8/7/2025 at 1:40 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated the proper
technique for a 2-person transfer from wheelchair to bed is to have a staff member on both sides under the
resident's arm so the weight is evenly distributed, then stand and pivot in one or two steps to move the
resident to the bed. Staff should not transfer someone by grabbing their feet and another person at their
shoulders because you can't properly transfer the resident to bed. If you use the wrong transfer technique
the resident can be injured or dropped. The staff receives information on how a resident needs to be
transferred from the rehab department. The DSD stated the Resident 1 can be transferred using a 2-person
assist or using a hoyer. Resident 1 is able to provide accurate information and was very precise on the
description of the CNA. DSD stated Resident 1 and staff are telling different stories, so she can't confirm
what happened. The DSD can't say 100% but thinks something was bumped during the transfer. The DSD
stated it's not common for a resident to be injured during transfer or while receiving care. It shouldn't
happen. You shouldn't be bumped. Something had to have happened. Resident 1 is bedbound and doesn't
stand. Resident 1 doesn't walk, so it is not typical to get an ankle fracture if you don't walk. The DSD thinks
the source of the injury was something that occurred during transfer. It's not okay for a resident to be injured
by staff during care. The DSD didn't report the incident when she heard about it because the resident's
story made sense. You should report if the reason for the injury is unknown. The DSD stated due to this
incident occurring the facility plans to have the rehab department provide training on proper transfer
techniques. During an interview on 8/7/2025 with the ADM, the ADM stated staff reported to him Resident
1's leg was bumped during transfer. The ADM stated he didn't feel he needed to report the incident because
the resident told them what happened. Stated he can't say with complete certainty the injury occurred in the
stated manner. Further stated, if it's unknown how an injury occurred, it should be reported to CDPH,
ombudsman, and police, the same as abuse, within 2 hours.During a review of the facility's policy and
procedure (P&P), titled Abuse: Prevention of and Prohibition Against, dated April 2025, the P&P indicated
allegations of abuse/neglect will be reported to the appropriate State or Federal agencies in the applicable
timeframes.During a review of the facility's P&P, titled Unusual Occurrence, dated January 2021, the P&P
indicated unusual occurrences shall be reported within 24 hours to the local health officer and the
department. The P&P further defined unusual occurrences as those that threaten the welfare, safety, or
health of patients.During a review of the facility's P&P, titled Resident Rights: Elder Justice Act Reporting,
dated October 2011, the P&P indicated reasonable suspicion of crimes against individuals receiving care
from a skilled nursing facility must be reported as required by the Elder Justice Act. The incident must be
reported to local law enforcement and the State Survey Agency within two hours if the alleged victim
sustained serious bodily injury, or within 24 hours if the victim did not sustain serious bodily injury.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe and accident-free environment
for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1), who had impaired functional mobility (a reduction in a
person's ability to move independently and perform daily activities) by failing to: -Ensure Certified Nursing
Assistants (CNAs) 1 and 2 transferred Resident 1 from the wheelchair to Resident 1's bed by using
appropriate assistive device (any item, piece of equipment that are designed to help individuals with
disabilities increase, maintain, or improve their functional capabilities) such as the Hoyer lift (a mechanical
device used to safely transfer patients who have limited mobility from one surface to another, such as from
a bed to a chair or wheelchair) as indicated in Resident 1's untitled care plan dated 2/1/2025. This deficient
practice resulted in Resident 1 screaming out in pain on 7/16/2025, when CNAs 1 and 2 transferred
Resident 1 from the wheelchair to Resident 1's bed. Resident 1 also experiencing right foot pain and
swelling to the right lower extremity, and was transferred to the General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) on
8/2/2025 where Resident 1 was diagnosed with a right trimalleolar fracture (a break in all three bony
prominences of the ankle [medial {inner ankle}, lateral {outer ankle} and posterior {back part of shin}], a
serious type of ankle fracture requiring surgical intervention). At the GACH Resident 1 received general
anesthesia (a drug-induced state of unconsciousness, typically used for major surgical procedures) and
had an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF- a type of surgery used to stabilize and repair broken
bones; some form of hardware is used to hold the bone together so it can heal) surgery of the right ankle.
Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including hemiplegia (total paralysis to one side of
body) and hemiparesis (slight muscle weakness or partial paralysis) affecting both right and left (dominant)
side, muscle wasting and atrophy (gradual decline in effectiveness and causing a person or a part of the
body to become progressively weaker). During a review of Resident 1's untitled care plan, dated 2/1/2025,
the care plan indicated Resident 1 had Impaired Functional Mobility with Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
self-care deficit. The care plan goal indicated to reduce the risk of complications related to impaired
mobility. The care plan interventions indicated the facility would use the appropriate assistive device
(non-specified) and provide a level of assistance that meets the residents' needs. During a review of
Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 4/21/2025, the MDS indicated
Resident 1 was usually able to express ideas and usually able to understand others. The MDS indicated
required substantial / maximal assist (helper did more than half the effort) from sitting to lying, was not able
to stand or walk 10 feet, and was dependent (helper does all the effort) on staff to transfer from chair to
bed. During a review of Resident 1's Occupational Therapy (OT, a branch of health care that helps people
of all ages who have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems) Progress Report for certification period
5/26/2025 - 6/22/2025, the report indicated Resident 1 used a Hoyer lift for transfers.During a review of
Resident 1's Physical Therapy (PT, a healthcare profession focused on improving movement and function
through various techniques like exercise, manual therapy, and education) Progress Report for certification
period 5/26/2025 - 6/22/2025, the report indicated Resident 1's baseline was total dependence with bed
mobility. The report indicated Resident 2 was mostly bedbound and occasionally up in her wheelchair via
Hoyer lift. The report indicated Resident 1 needed maximum assistance with bed mobility and was
non-ambulatory for a long time. During a review of Resident 1's Transfer Level Notes, undated, the notes
indicated Resident 1 required a Hoyer lift for transfer. During a review of Resident 1's July 2025

Medication Administration Record (MAR), the MAR indicated from 7/1 - 7/15/2025 Resident 1 received
Tramadol (medication used to treat moderate pain in adults) 50 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement) four
times out of fifteen days. The MAR indicated on 7/10/2025 Resident 1's highest pain rating score during this
time was a 6 out of 10, using the zero to ten pain scale (zero indicating no pain and 10 indicating most
severe pain, 6 indicated moderate pain) and there was no location of the pain documented. During a review
of Resident 1's MAR dated 7/16/2025 at 2:43 p.m. (date of transfer incident), the note indicated Resident 1
was given Tramadol 50 mg for complaint of body pain rated at seven out of 10 (seven indicated strong /

highest pain rating score of seven on 7/16 for body pain, 7/23 for knee pain with no score, and 7/28/2025
for feet pain with no score documented. During a review of Resident 1's Nursing Note, dated 7/31/2025 (two
weeks after Resident 1 screamed out in pain), the note indicated FM 1 was concerned about swelling to
Resident 1's ankles. The nursing note indicated, FM 1 requested an X-ray (photographic or digital image of
the internal part of the body) to be sure, and Resident 1's Physician / Medical Doctor (MD) 1 ordered a
STAT (immediate) X-ray to both ankles. During a review of Resident 1's Radiology Results Report, dated
7/31/2025, the report indicated Resident 1 had an acute mildly displaced fracture of the right medial
malleolus (bone on the inner side of the ankle) and an acute nondisplaced fracture of the lateral malleolus
(bone on the outer side of the ankle). The Radiology Results Report indicated Resident 1's fracture
appeared recent. During a review of Resident 1's Change in Condition (COC, a noticeable alteration in a
person's physical or mental state, or in the circumstances surrounding a situation, often triggering a
[NAME] for reassessment or intervention) Evaluation, dated 8/1/2025, the evaluation indicated FM 1
reported after Resident 1 went to a doctor's appointment on 7/16/2025, CNAs 1 and 2 tried to transfer
Resident 1 back to bed. The COC evaluation indicated while FM 1 was outside of Resident 1's room, FM 1
heard Resident 1's scream. FM 1 entered the room and asked Resident 1 what happened. Resident 1
reported that her leg hurts so bad. FM 1 stated Resident 1 had complained of pain since that time
(7/16/2025). The COC evaluation indicated FM 1 requested an X-ray and the X-ray result indicated a
fracture of Resident 1's right ankle. The COC evaluation indicated the Nurse Practitioner ordered to transfer
Resident 1 to the hospital (GACH). During a review of the GACH Emergency Department (ED) Physical
Exam Note dated 8/2/2025, the ED note indicated Resident 1 had significant right lateral malleoli (outer
ankle) tenderness to palpitation and right foot swelling. The ED note indicated at 2:15 p.m., Resident 1
received Morphine Sulfate (a controlled substance to treat severe pain) 2 mg intravenous (into a vein) for
severe pain rated at 7-10, received Norco 5/325 one tablet (an opioid pain reliever), for moderate pain,
received Tylenol 650 mg for mild pain, and Ambien (a sedative, hypnotic medication). The ED note indicated
Resident 1's Radiology Results and findings indicated soft tissue swelling with fracture of medial malleolus
(inner ankle), distal fibula (outer side of ankle, resulting from twisting or rolling the ankle, or from a direct
impact), and posterior tibia (break in back part of shin bone). The GACH ED Physical Exam note indicated
the impression of Resident 1 was a trimalleolar fracture (a break in all three bony prominences of the ankle
[medial, lateral and posterior], a serious type of ankle fracture requiring surgical intervention). During a
review of Resident 1's GACH Progress Notes, the notes indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the hospital

what happened, and CNA 1 did not respond, shrugged his shoulders and left the room. On 7/31/2025 (15
days later) FM 1 noticed Resident 1's legs were swollen, reported it to the nurse (RN Supervisor) and
requested an X-ray be done. FM 1 was notified the next day (8/1/2025) the Xray was completed and
showed the right ankle was fractured. During a concurrent observation outside Resident 1's door and
interview on 8/5/2025 at 12:40 p.m. - 1:30 p.m., the Director of Staff Development stated the red circle
sticker outside a resident's door indicated two persons assist and the red heart sticker indicated Hoyer Lift.
The observation outside Resident 1's door revealed there was a red heart which indicated the resident
required a Hoyer lift with two persons assist for transfer. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:50 a.m.,
CNA 1 stated that on 7/16/2025 he assisted transferring Resident 1 to the bed using a 2-person assist.
CNA 1 stated Resident 1 had a red sticker outside her door which indicated a two-person assist. CNA 1 did
not indicate if it was a red circle or a red heart. CNA 1 stated he and the assigned nurse (CNA 2) placed an
arm under Resident 1's armpit and held her waistline, then transferred Resident 1 to bed. CNA 1 stated if
you (staff in general) do not use the right technique to transfer a resident they can be injured. During an
interview on 8/6/2025 at 1:43 p.m., the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN) stated Resident 1 was assessed
on 7/31/2025 and Resident 1 complained of soreness when the right ankle was touched. The RN stated,
This was a new injury and how it happened was unknown. The RN stated FM 1 then told the RN (on
7/31/2025) that when staff (CNAs 1 and 2) were transferring Resident 1 back to Resident 1's bed on
7/16/2025, FM 1 heard Resident 1 scream My leg is hurting. The RNS stated FM 1 informed RN that
Resident 1 complained of pain since that day (7/16/2025). During a concurrent observation of Resident 1's
legs and interview on 8/7/2025 at 11:55 a.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 was observed in bed with a splint
to the right lower leg/ankle. Resident 1 stated on the date of incident (7/16/2025) staff called in a tall man
(CNA 1) to help transfer her to bed from the wheelchair. Resident 1 stated, The guy, grabbed Resident 1's
feet and the lady (CNA 2) grabbed her shoulders. Resident 1 stated when the CNA 1 grabbed her feet
during the transfer she screamed. Resident 1 stated FM 1 entered the room right away and asked why she
was crying. Resident 1 stated, He hurt my foot. Resident 1 stated staff (in general) have not transferred her
like that, before and all that night (7/16/2025) she had right foot pain. Resident 1 stated staff (in general)
used a Hoyer lift to transfer her and that when Resident 1 found out the ankle was fractured, she
cried.During an interview on 8/7/2025 at 1:40 p.m., the Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated the
proper technique for a 2-person transfer from wheelchair to bed was to have a staff member on both sides
