LVN 1 stated that the ombudsman informed him that Resident 1 reported that an unknown black man struck him, in the stomach, and that the date of the alleged incident could not be verified.

could result in the residents' needs not being addressed, including unresolved fear, psychosocial distress, and lack of appropriate medical or mental health interventions. LVN 1 stated that he did not notify Resident 1's physician or document the incident because he believed it was not required, explaining that the resident has a history of making similar statements or allegations and that he therefore did not feel documentation was necessary. During an interview on 12/16/2025 at 10:30 a.m. with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS), the RNS stated that she was first made aware of the alleged incident on 12/9/2024 at approximately 2:00 p.m. by the Social Service Director (SSD).

The DON stated that these actions should have occurred in accordance with the facility's policies and procedures. The DON stated that she believed this represented a system failure, rather an isolated individual failure, due to a breakdown in communication and follow-through among nursing staff. The DON stated that failure to document a change in condition, notify the physician, and update the care plan could result in delayed medical or mental health evaluation, unaddressed psychosocial distress, lack of appropriate interventions, and increased risk to resident safety and well-being.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure the comprehensive care plan (a personalized, written guide detailing a patient's health status, specific needs, goals, and the nursing actions [interventions]) was developed and implemented for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) following a change in condition ([COC] a sudden, clinically important deviation from a patient's baseline in physical, cognitive (ability to think, understand, learn, and remember) behavioral, or functional status which without immediate intervention, may result in complications or death), when Resident 1 reported being struck and expressed fear, indicating a psychosocial change ( shifts in a person's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships) in condition. This deficient practice had the potential to result in staff being unaware of the residents' psychosocial and safety needs leading to inconsistent care, lack of protective interventions, continued fear, unaddressed psychosocial distress, and increased risk to resident safety and well-being.
