Instructions received from physician to send the resident to the hospital report from [ ]Care stated the resident's right superior and inferior pubic rami are not diagnostically visualized and not cleared for an acute finding .further evaluation by Computed Tomography (CT) Scan is needed. Daughter/ granddaughter requested the resident be sent to the hospital. All necessary documents were prepared, and a call was placed to the ambulance service. Resident left the facility at approximately 10:30 am with the ambulance service. Resident's daughter was informed of time of transfer to hospital.

The resident's daughter called at approximately 3:45 pm to inform the nurse the resident will be kept overnight as there's a hematoma to the thigh and Labs will be done, if there's internal bleeding the resident will remain in the hospital, Registered Nurse appreciated the call. Review of x-rays completed at the facility on 12/21/14 at 1:45 AM revealed: Pelvis Views- The non-visualized portion cannot be fully cleared without additional radiographs. Similar old left inferior pubic ramus fracture. Conclusion: 1. Moderate bilateral hip arthrosis. No obvious or acutely displaced fracture given only a single view. 1. Without an orthogonal view, a nondisplaced out of plane fracture cannot be excluded. Additionally, due to positioning, the right superior and inferior pubic rami are not diagnostically visualized and can therefore not be cleared for an acute finding. 2. Given the history of trauma, there should be low threshold for further evaluation by CT scan. Review of x-rays completed at the hospital on [DATE] at 3:32AM revealed: Pelvis ViewFindings/Impressions-Diffuse severe bony demineralization reduces anatomic sensitivity. Acute fractures are suggested involving the right superior and inferior pubic rami.

Interview on 01/07/25 at 10:34 AM Director of Nursing (DON) Risk Manager/Grievance Coordinator stated once a fall occurs with a resident, the nurse assesses the resident, provide the care the resident needs in the moment, reach out to the Physician (MD) to inform the MD of the incident, receives any necessary orders from the MD depending on the nature of the fall and the findings of the nurse-pain, discomfort, type of fall, injuries. The MD may order x-rays, resident transport to hospital, neurological checks for the resident etc. The nurse should report the incident/fall as soon as possible after care is rendered to the resident and the resident is safe. In this incident, the nurse did not report the incident in a reasonable amount of time to the MD. The resident fell on [DATE] around 3 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) (Staff A) reported the incident on 12/20/24 around 8pm when she arrived for her next shift, she worked the 7PM-7AM shift, and she had the same assignment as the prior shift. Once the incident was reported by Staff A, the MD and family were called, the MD ordered resident to be sent to the hospital, the family declined the MD's orders, the MD ordered x-rays of the hip and pelvic area, the x-rays were inconclusive. After further discussions with the family, they agreed to send the resident to the hospital on [DATE]. We stayed in communication with the hospital and the family, there was some concern about the resident's hemoglobin and the family later advised us that the resident had a fracture of the right superior and inferior pubic rami. On 12/20/24, Staff A was removed from the schedule; and has not returned to work as of today, we reported the incident as neglect to all the pertinent agencies and personnel. Our investigation concluded that Staff A failed to report the fall in a timely manner, but we could not conclusively report if the untimely reporting of the incident caused any harm to the resident. The 7AM-7PM Registered Nurse (Staff C) reported the resident was acting differently and complained of knee pain, upon further assessment by Staff C, the resident did not complain of any pain, I reached out to the resident's daughter and the daughter stated the resident did not report any issues or pain to her. This incident/fall was reported as neglect because Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff A did not follow the fall protocols of notifying the MD and other facility staff in a timely manner, the incident was not reported as an adverse incident because the injury was not the fault of the facility, all the necessary fall precautions were in place for the resident, the resident is a high risk for falls based on her fall assessment score which is completed quarterly and as needed, the bed was in lowest position, personal items were in reach, rounding was completed at minimum every 2 hours, call lights were being answered immediately, and bilateral floor mats were in place.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few family were educated on fall precautions and the importance of calling for assistance for toileting and transfers when needed. The resident also participates in activities throughout the day at the facility and is closely monitored by staff. The resident was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Acute superior and inferior pubic rami fracture with hematoma in the right hemipelvis. Plan of care: Non-surgical management, Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, and pain control. On 1/7/25 at 11AM, attempted to contact Staff A via phone, a message left for a return call. Interview on 01/08/25 at 9:45AM with the Administrator (NHA), it was reported I received information from staff about Resident #2's fall around 11:30PM on 12/20/24. I spoke with the DON and gave instructions for the Staff A to be sent home, I called the resident's daughter because I saw her number on my phone as missed call and we discussed the fall that happened with her mother. The resident's daughter did not want the resident to go to the hospital that night. On 12/21/24 when I came into work I saw the resident's daughter leaving the facility, we had a conversation in the parking lot, at that time the results of the facility x-rays had come back and there was no fractures but a recommendation for a CT Scan, the resident's daughter agreed to send her to the hospital after our conversation. On 12/21/24 later in the day and the next day, I called the resident's daughter for an update on the resident and to see if she needed anything. On Sunday night 12/22/24, I received a text from the resident's daughter stating the hospital's CT scan showed a pubic fracture and her mother has to be seen by an orthopedist. On 12/25/24, the resident was readmitted to the facility. This incident was not reported as an adverse incident because the facility had all fall precautions in place for this resident, patient teaching, the lowest bed, bilateral floor mats, non-skid socks, rounding and monitoring with supervision. We reported the incident as neglect because the nurse did not report the incident in a timely manner to the pertinent facility staff, but did complete an assessment and care for the resident immediately after the fall occurred. Staff A was taken off the schedule immediately, and the facility has since terminated her employment. Interview on 01/08/25 at 11:30AM via telephone with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNAs) (Staff B) whom worked on the 11-7PM shift stated, the resident #2 was assigned to me the night she fell, I was in the resident's room about 30 minutes prior to her falling, I heard the resident screaming around 3 AM, myself and the Staff A went into the resident's room, the resident was on the floor at the foot of the bed, we placed the resident back in the bed, the nurse started to assess the resident and checking her body, the resident was then placed in the wheelchair and placed in the recreation area by the nursing station to be closely monitored throughout the night. After the resident was placed in the wheel chair, I went back to my assigned duties for the rest of my shift. Interview on 01/08/25 at 11:40AM via telephone with LPN Staff C whom worked on the 7AM-7PM shift stated on 12/20/24 at the beginning of my shift the resident was sitting by the television area in her wheelchair, she was restless, I asked Staff A what was going on with the resident, she stated the resident was very restless throughout the night, and she gave her the prescribed medication Xanax, during my shift the resident complaint of pain to her knee once, I do not remember which knee it was, I gave her Tylenol and she was doing well, I did not have any other issues with the resident. I found out the next day when I came to work that the resident had fallen out of bed the day before my shift started. The outgoing nurse Staff A on 12/20/24 never reported to me that the resident had fallen. Review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Accidents Care and Supervision dated 04/20/23 states: The resident environment will remain as free of accident hazards as is possible. Each resident will receive adequate supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents.

Implementing interventions to reduce hazard(s) and risk(s). 4. Monitoring for effectiveness and modifying interventions when necessary. Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: The facility shall establish and utilize a systematic approach to address resident risk and environmental hazards to minimize the likelihood of accidents. 1. Identification of Hazards and Risks- the process through which the facility becomes aware of potential hazards in the resident environment and the risk of a resident having an avoidable accident. 1. All staff (e.g., professional, administrative, maintenance, etc.) are to be involved in observing and identifying potential hazards in the environment, while taking into consideration the unique characteristics and abilities of each resident. 2. The facility should make a reasonable effort to identify the hazards and risk factors for each resident. Evaluation and Analysis- the process of examining data to identify specific hazards and risks and to develop targeted interventions to reduce the potential for accidents. Interdisciplinary involvement is a critical component of this process. 1. Analysis may include, for example, considering the severity of hazards, the immediacy of risk, and trends such as time of day, location, etc. 2. Both the facility-centered and resident-directed approaches include evaluating hazard and accident risk data, which includes prior accidents/incidents, analyzing potential causes for each hazard and accident risk, and identifying or developing interventions based on the severity of the hazards and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 105508 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 9 Printed: 05/28/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 105508 B.
