This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 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, (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.

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

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete 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.

F 0689 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 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.
