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. Based on interviews and record review, the facility failed to implement its policy and procedure for injuries of unknown origin to thoroughly investigate an unexplained injury of unknown source for one (Resident 1) of three sampled residents when facility did not know how Resident 1's right great toenail fell off exposing the nail bed. This failure had the potential to cause pain and placed Resident 1 at risk for emotional distress, mistreatment or abuse, and further injury.During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment instrument used to identify resident care problems to be addressed in an individualized care plan), dated 12/21/25, the MDS indicated Resident 1's Basic Interview of Mental status (BIMS, a scoring system used to determine the resident's cognitive status regarding attention, orientation, and ability to register and recall information. A BIMS score of thirteen to fifteen is an indication of intact cognitive status) score was 11 and indicated mild cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was not able to recall the day of the week. MDS indicated Resident 1 had difficulty communicating some words or finish thoughts but able if prompted or given time. MDS indicated Resident 1 had diagnoses that included seizure disorder or epilepsy. During a review of progress notes titled, Change in Condition Evaluation (COC), dated 2/13/26, COC indicated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 reported a complete nail avulsion (the partial or complete tearing away of toenail from nail bed) on Resident 1's right foot, dry, red in appearance. Resident 1 was aphasic and could not describe what happened. During an observation on 2/19/26, at 11:33 a.m., Resident 1 laid in bed on her back asleep. Observed bed in lower position. Resident 1's right great toe was covered with a dressing. Resident 1's feet were close to footboard. Further review of COC, dated 2/13/26, indicated that Resident 1 often dangled her feet outside her bed at times hitting the hard parts of the bed and nearby table, causing damage on her skin and nails. During an interview on 2/19/26, at 11:45 a.m., with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA1), CNA1 stated she found Resident 1's right great toe without nail and reported to Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN 1). CNA1 stated she did not know how the nail fell off. During an interview on 2/19/26, at 11:55 a.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated that CNA 1 informed LVN 1 that Resident 1's right great toenail fell off and CNA 1 did not know what happened. LVN 1 stated he asked other nurses, and no one knew how Resident 1's right great toenail fell off. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/19/26, at 12:20 p.m., with LVN 1 and Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's COC and right great toenail avulsion care plan dated 2/13/26 were reviewed. LVN 1 stated staff did not know what happened with Resident 1's right great toenail avulsion. LVN 1 stated he assumed it may be because Resident 1 dangled feet outside of bed. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/19/29, at 12:50 p.m., with DON, Resident 1's care plan was reviewed. DON stated facility did not investigate the source of the injury to Resident 1's right great toenail that fell off because there was an assumption that Resident 1 at times hit leg on the hard parts of bed. DON stated that the interdisciplinary team (IDT-a professional discipline that works together to provide the greatest benefit to the resident (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.
