at the hospital and [Resident #3] was admitted with a hip fracture and UTI. I notified [family member] that
we were working on the root cause investigation, and she was satisfied and understood.
Review of Emergency Department (ED) records for Resident #3, dated 6/22/24, showed per EMS she had
a possible trip and fall it was unwitnessed, but she does slip out of her wheelchair multiple times per the
facility has a history of hip fracture falls . It showed prior to arrival in the ED the resident had 70 mcg
(micrograms) of Fentanyl for pain, and she endorsed pain when pressing on her right hip. The extremities
physical assessment showed, no deformity, moderate trauma. Difficult to examine the patient's right leg
patient is curled up in bed she usually is in a wheelchair moderately confused and not following direction
with palpitation of the patient's right thigh/right hip she does scream in excruciating pain .
Review of the hospital History and Physical for Resident #3, dated 6/22/24, showed the resident was
brought to the emergency department after she was found on the floor .patient found to have right
periprosthetic proximal fracture with significant angulation .
Review of the hospital Operative Reports for Resident #3, dated 6/24/24, showed the resident underwent
an open reduction and internal fixation of right periprosthetic proximal femur fracture. The surgeon noted,
The rationale for surgery would be for palliative measures. I do not anticipate this fracture will heal to the
point where she will be more functional than she was before the injury, which was bedbound, wheelchair
dependent, non-weight bearing. My hope is that the incision heals, and she does not develop any
perioperative complications arising, such as blood clots, infections, wound healing problems, fractures,
dislocations, or risks of the medications and anesthesia.
Review of Resident #3's progress note, dated 6/24/24 at 3:36 p.m., authored by the Director of Nursing
(DON) showed: Investigation and statements stated that fx [fracture] happened during transfer of resident
from bed to chair. Resident at no time had a fall. Daughter made aware of findings of investigation.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 4:43 p.m. with the DON and Risk Manager (RM). The DON
stated during an investigation it was determined Resident #3's fracture occurred during a transfer. The DON
said she had been notified the resident was transferred out with a potential fracture on 6/22/24. She stated
an investigation was started to see how the possible fracture happened. She said a report was not filed for
abuse or neglect as the fracture occurred during transfer.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 5:08 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the
Administrator in Training (AIT). The NHA said he became aware of Resident #3's fracture during a morning
meeting on 6/22/24 when a nurse's note was read that stated Resident #3 had a fall. He said the
management team reviewed the statements from the staff who worked, and everyone stated there was no
fall. He said the management team did not complete interviews, they just read the written statements
received. The NHA explained the Department of Children and Families (DCF) came in later that same
morning (6/22/24) as the hospital had contacted them regarding the fracture. The NHA said the
management team investigated and determined Resident #3 did not have a fall, therefore they did not file a
reportable event. The NHA said the investigation they did, did not indicate how the resident was transferred
to the wheelchair.
During a follow-up interview on 10/23/24 at 9:38 a.m. with the NHA. The NHA stated he did not know how
the fracture occurred, he stated, I went off the DCF investigation.

An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 5:35 p.m. with Staff M, LPN. Staff M stated being familiar with
Resident #3 and recalled the event on 6/22/24. She said upon arrival to the unit on 6/22/24, Resident #3
was up in the wheelchair. Staff M said Resident #3 was usually self-propelling around the unit and talked
nonsensically. She said on the morning on 6/22/24 Resident #3 was not self-propelling nor speaking as
usual. Staff M said she did not think much of it, she thought maybe Resident #3 was just tired from the night
before. She said another nurse came to her and asked if she thought Resident #3 looked funny. She stated,
I then noted the angle of Resident #3's leg was not right. Staff M said she went to assess the resident's leg
and as soon as she reached for her leg, Resident #3 started screaming. Staff M said the resident answered
yes to being in pain when asked. She said Resident #3 was not able to be touched therefore they contacted
911. Staff M said when she was on the phone with 911, the DON told her to cancel the call, because the
x-rays could be conducted in the facility. Staff M said she did not cancel the call and when 911 arrived, they
had to sedate Resident #3 so she could be moved from the wheelchair to stretcher.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 12:00 p.m. with Staff O, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Staff
O said she recalled Resident #3 and the shift when the fracture occurred. She said she worked 6/21/24 for
the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift and the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift ending 6/22/24. Staff O said she was not assigned
to Resident #3. She said Staff P, CNA asked her to help transfer Resident #3. Staff O explained she
overheard Resident #3 scream multiple times during the night, which is normal for her, so she did not think
much about it. Staff O said when she entered the room to assist Staff P, Resident #3 screams were
different, painful almost. She said she helped Staff P place Resident #3 in the wheelchair. Staff O explained
for the transfer of Resident #3, she placed her arm under the resident's, to assist with standing. She said
the two CNAs had the resident pivot and they assisted the resident to sit in the wheelchair. Staff O said she
does not recall if the resident scream out or just took a deep breath during the transfer, but it was very
quick. Staff O said Staff P was rushing and wanted to get off shift. Staff O said typically when Resident #3
was in the wheelchair, she self-propelled throughout the unit but she did not go anywhere. She said she
thought Resident #3 was just tired from being up most of the night. Staff O said later that same morning
she observed blood on the arm of Resident #3 and informed the nurse. Staff O stated no skin tears
occurred during the transfer. Staff O stated no one ever spoke with her regarding the fracture until the next
day when the supervisor asked her to write a statement as Resident #3 had a fracture. She stated she did
not hear anything else regarding the subject.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 11:38 a.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q recalled working 6/21/24
on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift into 6/22/24 and stated Resident #3 was on the morning list to get up early.
She said Staff P, CNA was assigned to Resident #3 and would have been the one to transfer the resident.
She said she did not recall anyone mentioning anything throughout the shift, it was a normal night until she
noticed Resident #3 had blood on her hand and was gripping her hip. Staff Q said she brought this to the
attention of Staff M, LPN and Staff G, LPN. She said the nurses commented about the resident's leg
looking odd. She said she didn't notice the resident's leg at the time as she was looking at the blood on her
hand. She said Staff M, LPN called 911 and while Staff M was on the phone, the DON told her to hang up
because we could take care of the resident here. She said the nurse didn't hang up the phone. Staff Q said
she was surprised that no one asked her about the incident.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 11:18 a.m. with Staff G, LPN. Staff G confirmed he worked the
evening of 6/21/24 into the morning of 6/22/24 and said he was the one that saw Resident #3 sitting in her
wheelchair and her leg bent awkwardly. Staff G said he informed Staff M, LPN and told her to look at
Resident #3 and Staff M immediately said, Oh her leg is broken.

Staff G said they were not able to touch the leg because the resident would scream. Staff G said no one
looked into how the fracture occurred. Staff G said they didn't know if Resident #3 fell and just got put back
in the wheelchair. He said Resident #3 didn't ever try to walk or get out of bed and to his knowledge had
never fallen before. Staff G said management did not know what happened, they got statements from a
couple of CNAs then moved Staff P, CNA, who was assigned Resident #3, to a different floor.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 2:35 p.m. with Staff P, CNA. Staff P stated she recalled
Resident #3 and worked with on the 11p (6/21/24) to 7a (6/22/24) shift. Staff P said, I don't know anything
about a fracture. Staff P said she arrived at the unit and Resident #3 was in the bed sleeping. Staff P said
around 2:00 a.m. she completed incontinence care for Resident #3 while the resident slept. Staff P added
Resident #3 was a squealing person, Resident #3 squeals all the time. She said Resident #3 was on the
get up list so she got Resident #3 dressed and requested assistance from another CNA with the transfer to
the wheelchair. Staff P could not recall how the transfer of Resident #3 occurred and denied any knowledge
of a fracture or skin tear. Staff P said, If something happened maybe on her [Staff O, CNA]. Staff P, CNA
stated, I didn't do anything wrong, DCF and the NHA said so. Staff P then disconnected the phone call.
Review of Resident #3's primary care provider (PCP) note, dated 7/1/24, showed Patient was readmitted to
[facility] on 06/25/24. Patient was sent to ER for right hip pain that she sustain during a fall per hospital
records.

of Resident #3 several times and did hear about the fracture. She said she was not working at the time of
the incident but heard the CNA tried to transfer Resident #3 and dropped her. Staff N said, Sad, resident
was perfectly fine before the fall, when she came back, she just went downhill medically, never the same.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 2:37 p.m. with Resident #3's primary care provider (PCP). He
said he remembered the incident with Resident #3 and recalled that Staff H, Nurse Practitioner (NP) was
upset neither of them were notified. The PCP reviewed Resident #3's medical records. He said the hospital
records showed the resident had a fall and another note said there were no falls. He said, I would assume
the facility has protocols in place if a resident had a fracture and they don't know where it came from. He
said there should be a protocol and procedure for falls/injuries.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 2:47 p.m. with Staff H, Nurse Practitioner (NP). She said she
was a provider for Resident #3. She said she had not been notified when Resident #3 had a fall. She said
facility staff should have called when something happened to a resident. She said she did not know until the
resident returned from the hospital and she saw the fall in the hospital record. Staff H said the resident was
having pain but was stable after she returned. She said, For sure, they should look into that if it is not
known where the fracture came. Staff H said the resident's fracture was fixed for comfort, not really to be
able to walk on it.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Review of a progress note for Resident #8, dated 09/23/24 at 11:35 p.m., by Staff S, LPN showed, This
writer noticed other nurses and cna's running down the hall, I went to see what was going on and
witnessed other nurses assisting the resident and speaking to keep to keep [sic] him awake. A focus
assessment was performed on the resident. Resident Vital signs, kept residents on his Rt [right] side to
prevent aspiration, held gauze and applied pressure to eyebrow area. 911 was called and stayed with the
patient until EMS [Emergency Management Service] arrived. A message was left with the PCP [Primary
Care Provider] answering service. Family was called and voicemail was left, shift supervisor was notified.
Residents Affected - Some
Review of admission Records showed Resident #8 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Cerebrovascular Accident (stroke) with right hemiparesis, sepsis, dysphagia, wounds, and other
co-morbidities.
Review of Resident #8's admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed the resident was dependent with all
activities of daily living care (ADL), had impairments in both upper and lower extremities preventing
movement, and the resident had not had any falls since admission/entry or reentry prior to assessment.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 3:31 p.m. with Staff S, LPN. Staff S, LPN confirmed working
with Resident #8 on 9/23/24 and recalled the incident. Staff S recalled coming out of another resident's
room seeing all these employees going to Resident #8's room. Staff S said she immediately followed, as
she was the assigned nurse. She said upon arrival, she noted Resident #8 on the floor with blood on his
head. Staff S said the CNA responsible for the resident (Staff T, CNA) stated she turned the resident, and
he rolled out of the bed. She stated Resident #8 had an air mattress with collapsable sides. Staff S stated
she was not sure how this happened as Resident #8 was tall, thin, and did not move.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 5:13 p.m. with Staff T, CNA. Staff T confirmed she cared for
Resident #8 on the night of 9/23/24. She said he often had behaviors and yelled. She said she went in and
talked to him, and he was calm. She said since the resident was calm, she thought she could clean him up
on her own. She said she cleaned up his front and rolled him away from her to clean up his back side. She
said the resident was on an air mattress and they are slippery. She said he was not really on a sheet. She
said when she rolled him away from her, he slipped off the other side. She said she tried to catch him by his
shirt, but he fell off and hit the floor. She said as that happened, she had to let go of his shirt and go search
for someone to help. She said she went outside and got the nurse assigned to him. She said she didn't
really know his injuries, but he was bleeding, and the nurse started working on him. The CNA said she had
previously assisted with Resident #8 being cleaned and changed because he was sometimes combative.
She said she was only worried about his behavior and thought since he was calm, she could change him
herself. She said the CNAs do not know if a resident is a one-person or a two-person assist because it is
not in the computer or on their Kardex. She said they have to go off of personal judgement and it is
sometimes passed down from the previous shift's CNA. Staff T explained if shift to shift report was not
completed, then you just go off your experience. She said the facility had not done any training on
turning/positioning residents before or after the incident with Resident #8.
Review of Resident #8's Comprehensive Care Plan, 8/2/24, showed the following:

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

Residents Affected - Some
-Focus: Resident needed assistance with activities of daily living because of weakness. The goal showed: I
will improve my ability to transfer, dress, toilet, ambulate by next review. The interventions included:
Anticipate resident's needs; Assist me with all oral intake of food and fluids; Assist me with hygiene,
bathing, dressing, toileting and transfers; Assist me with toileting promptly when requested; Assist with all
ADL care to ensure daily needs are met.
-Focus: The staff have identified that I am at risk for falls because of these risk factors: Unaware of safety
needs. The goal showed: I will have minimized injury due to a fall through next review. The interventions
included: Anticipate resident's needs; I should have sneakers, shoes, slippers with rubber soles or non-slip
socks when I am out of bed; Keep frequently used items within reach: TV remote, tissues, water glass over
bed stand and my water glass (unless I need thickened liquids or can't have anything by mouth); Keep my
call light within reach so I can call for assistance; Maintain bed in lowest locked position.
-Focus: At times I can agitated, combative, continuous outburst. The goal showed: I will show a decrease in
my episodes of being resistant thru next review. The interventions included: Allow choices when able to give
resident feeling of control; Converse with during care about topic of interest to redirect; Monitor for
effectiveness of medication prescribed to limit behavior; Report to Dr if not effective or behavior continues
to decline; Psych eval and follow up per order.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 1:10 p.m. with Staff Z, LPN UM (Unit Manager). Staff Z said
residents were evaluated by therapy and those results were sent to the MDS team. She said MDS then
enters the information about the functional level of the resident and that populates to the Kardex. She said it
usually says dependent or max assist, something like that. She said dependent means two-person assist
and maximum assist means 1-2. When asked how the CNAs would know which to use since they cannot
assess residents she said, That is all I know about the process.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 12:48 p.m. with Staff Y, CNA. She said the facility had not done
any training on turning, positioning, or transferring residents. She said the CNAs do not know if a resident is
a one or two-person assist or if they need a lift. She said the CNAs have To figure it out.
Interviews were conducted from 10/22/24 to 10/28/24 at various times with the following staff: Staff U, D, W,
X, V, N, O, Q, CNA's. During these interviews staff stated the computer system does not indicate specific
directions for what level of care (i.e Assist of one, mechanical lift) is needed for residents' ADL needs. The
staff stated usually they just know how to care for residents based on our experience. The CNAs said they
try to complete shift to shift report to inform other CNAs of care needs, but it does not always happen with
staffing patterns and time constraints.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:23 p.m. with the MDS Coordinator. She said approximately a
year ago, when the Minimum Data Set (MDS) changed from section G to section GG, it quit having an
assist of 1 or two option. She stated related to the care plan not indicating a level of assistance needed,
That is not a directive I have been given here. She said the CNAs would just know the level of care from
passing it down in report. She doesn't know how else they would know. The MDS Coordinator confirmed
CNAs cannot assess residents.
Review of hospital records for Resident #8, dated 9/24/24, showed the resident presented to the
emergency department and underwent a head and maxillofacial CT (computed tomography) scan which
revealed an 8 millimeter (mm) subdural hemorrhage layering along the right frontotemporal convexity, with

Residents Affected - Some
no significant midline shift, interval development of large right frontotemporal infarct is noted compared to
February 2022, and possible acute/subacute. The resident was noted to have a right front scalp hematoma
which was a laceration, and sutures were applied. Upon arrival the resident was noted to have a forehead
laceration with a dressing in place that was blood soaked. The resident was unable to answer questions
correctly although he was attempting to. The CT scan results, dated 9/23/24, showed the following:
Calvarium/Scalp: large right frontal scalp hematoma calvaria fracture evaluation limited by motion artifact.
CT Maxillofacial: comminuted right greater than left nasal bone fractures moderate overlying soft tissue
swelling.
Review Resident #8's ER record showed the resident received 12 sutures to right eyebrow laceration.
Resident #8 was admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit). No other documentation is available at this time.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/2024 at 4:10 p.m. with the NHA and DON. The NHA stated the facility
was following Resident #8's plan of care with one-person assist. The NHA confirmed the care plan did not
have assist requirements as an intervention. The NHA stated, I thought it was there. The NHA stated no
investigation was needed. The NHA stated after comparing statements from staff he decided to eventually
find the CNA neglected to utilize proper positioning techniques and the facility had no control over this. The
NHA stated this was based on the DCF investigation. After the NHA spoke with the investigator, the NHA
decided to start a neglect report. The NHA stated the report was filed and the nursing assistant was
reported to the board. The NHA and DON stated no other actions needed to be taken. They stated they did
not do any in-services, review their policies, or interview other residents. They stated no education was
provided to staff post-incident.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 4:38 p.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR). He said
Resident #8 had severe safety awareness concerns and had decreased coordination. He said Resident #8
was totally dependent and in therapy that means they would use two people to assist. He said nursing
decides if two people should be used for transfers and care on the unit. He said the Resident #8 had rigid
tone so Everything is total dependent, and he needs a lot of help. He said the resident having rigid tone
means staff would have to hold him because he cannot hold himself while turning. He said if the resident
was being turned, he would need a person on each side of him. The DOR stated, To roll him he still needs a
lot of help. He said if the resident didn't have control, it is dangerous for a CNA to roll the resident away
from them because they can roll off the bed if no one is on the other side. The DOR said for therapy, Total
dependent means max assist; two people and lifts.
Review of the facility's Abuse and Neglect Log, dated 4/24 to 10/24, did not reveal any reports after 8/28/24
of any incidents of abuse or neglect.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 10:33 a.m. with the DON. The DON stated she had validated
with the NHA, no other reports or allegations of abuse or neglect had been made since 8/28/24.

underwent an open reduction and internal fixation of right periprosthetic proximal femur fracture. The
surgeon noted, The rationale for surgery would be for palliative measures. I do not anticipate this fracture
will heal to the point where she will be more functional than she was before the injury, which was
bedbound, wheelchair dependent, non-weight bearing. My hope is that the incision heals, and she does not
develop any perioperative complications arising, such as blood clots, infections, wound healing problems,
fractures, dislocations, or risks of the medications and anesthesia.
Review of Resident #3's progress note, dated 6/24/24 at 3:36 p.m., authored by the Director of Nursing
(DON) showed: Investigation and statements stated that fx [fracture] happened during transfer of resident
from bed to chair. Resident at no time had a fall. Daughter made aware of findings of investigation.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 4:43 p.m. with the DON and Risk Manager (RM). The DON
stated during an investigation it was determined Resident #3's fracture occurred during a transfer. The DON
said she had been notified the resident was transferred out with a potential fracture on 6/22/24. She stated
an investigation was started to see how the possible fracture happened. She said a report was not filed for
abuse or neglect as the fracture occurred during transfer.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 5:08 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the
Administrator in Training (AIT). The NHA said he became aware of Resident #3's fracture during a morning
meeting on 6/22/24 when a nurse's note was read that stated Resident #3 had a fall. He said the
management team reviewed the statements from the staff who worked, and everyone stated there was no
fall. He said the management team did not complete interviews, they just read the written statements
received. The NHA explained the Department of Children and Families (DCF) came in later that same
morning (6/22/24) as the hospital had contacted them regarding the fracture. The NHA said the
management team investigated and determined Resident #3 did not have a fall, therefore they did not file a
reportable event. The NHA said the investigation they did, did not indicate how the resident was transferred
to the wheelchair.
During a follow-up interview on 10/23/24 at 9:38 a.m. with the NHA. The NHA stated he did not know how
the fracture occurred, he stated, I went off the DCF investigation.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 5:35 p.m. with Staff M, LPN. Staff M stated being familiar with
Resident #3 and recalled the event on 6/22/24. She said upon arrival to the unit on 6/22/24, Resident #3
was up in the wheelchair. Staff M said Resident #3 was usually self-propelling around the unit and talked
nonsensically. She said on the morning on 6/22/24 Resident #3 was not self-propelling nor speaking as
usual. Staff M said she did not think much of it, she thought maybe Resident #3 was just tired from the night
before. She said another nurse came to her and asked if she thought Resident #3 looked funny. She stated,
I then noted the angle of Resident #3's leg was not right. Staff M said she went to assess the resident's leg
and as soon as she reached for her leg, Resident #3 started screaming. Staff M said the resident answered
yes to being in pain when asked. She said Resident #3 was not able to be touched therefore they contacted
911. Staff M said when she was on the phone with 911, the DON told her to cancel the call, because the
x-rays could be conducted in the facility. Staff M said she did not cancel the call and when 911 arrived, they
had to sedate Resident #3 so she could be moved from the wheelchair to stretcher.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 12:00 p.m. with Staff O, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Staff
O said she recalled Resident #3 and the shift when the fracture occurred. She said she worked 6/21/24 for

said she was not assigned to Resident #3. She said Staff P, CNA asked her to help transfer Resident #3.
Staff O explained she overheard Resident #3 scream multiple times during the night, which is normal for
her, so she did not think much about it. Staff O said when she entered the room to assist Staff P, Resident
#3 screams were different, painful almost. She said she helped Staff P place Resident #3 in the wheelchair.
Staff O explained for the transfer of Resident #3, she placed her arm under the resident's, to assist with
standing. She said the two CNAs had the resident pivot and they assisted the resident to sit in the
wheelchair. Staff O said she does not recall if the resident scream out or just took a deep breath during the
transfer, but it was very quick. Staff O said Staff P was rushing and wanted to get off shift. Staff O said
typically when Resident #3 was in the wheelchair, she self-propelled throughout the unit but she did not go
anywhere. She said she thought Resident #3 was just tired from being up most of the night. Staff O said
later that same morning she observed blood on the arm of Resident #3 and informed the nurse. Staff O
stated no skin tears occurred during the transfer. Staff O stated no one ever spoke with her regarding the
fracture until the next day when the supervisor asked her to write a statement as Resident #3 had a
fracture. She stated she did not hear anything else regarding the subject.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 11:38 a.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q recalled working 6/21/24
on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift into 6/22/24 and stated Resident #3 was on the morning list to get up early.
She said Staff P, CNA was assigned to Resident #3 and would have been the one to transfer the resident.
She said she did not recall anyone mentioning anything throughout the shift, it was a normal night until she
noticed Resident #3 had blood on her hand and was gripping her hip. Staff Q said she brought this to the
attention of Staff M, LPN and Staff G, LPN. She said the nurses commented about the resident's leg
looking odd. She said she didn't notice the resident's leg at the time as she was looking at the blood on her
hand. She said Staff M, LPN called 911 and while Staff M was on the phone, the DON told her to hang up
because we could take care of the resident here. She said the nurse didn't hang up the phone. Staff Q said
she was surprised that no one asked her about the incident.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 11:18 a.m. with Staff G, LPN. Staff G confirmed he worked the
evening of 6/21/24 into the morning of 6/22/24 and said he was the one that saw Resident #3 sitting in her
wheelchair and her leg bent awkwardly. Staff G said he informed Staff M, LPN and told her to look at
Resident #3 and Staff M immediately said, Oh her leg is broken. Staff G said they were not able to touch
the leg because the resident would scream. Staff G said no one looked into how the fracture occurred. Staff
G said they didn't know if Resident #3 fell and just got put back in the wheelchair. He said Resident #3
didn't ever try to walk or get out of bed and to his knowledge had never fallen before. Staff G said
management did not know what happened, they got statements from a couple of CNAs then moved Staff P,
CNA, who was assigned Resident #3, to a different floor. Staff G said, there were Many incidences of
neglect that could have been prevented. He said, It is my belief she died from it, speaking of Resident #3's
hip fracture.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 2:35 p.m. with Staff P, CNA. Staff P stated she recalled
Resident #3 and worked with on the 11p (6/21/24) to 7a (6/22/24) shift. Staff P said, I don't know anything
about a fracture. Staff P said she arrived at the unit and Resident #3 was in the bed sleeping. Staff P said
around 2:00 a.m. she completed incontinence care for Resident #3 while the resident slept. Staff P added
Resident #3 was a squealing person, Resident #3 squeals all the time. She said Resident #3 was on the
get up list so she got Resident #3 dressed and requested assistance from another CNA with the transfer to
the wheelchair. Staff P could not recall how the transfer of Resident #3 occurred and denied any knowledge
of a fracture or skin tear. Staff P said, If something happened maybe on her [Staff O, CNA]. Staff P, CNA
stated, I didn't do anything

Residents Affected - Some
Review of Resident #8's admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed the resident was dependent with all
activities of daily living care (ADL), had impairments in both upper and lower extremities preventing
movement, and the resident had not had any falls since admission/entry or reentry prior to assessment.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 3:31 p.m. with Staff S, LPN. Staff S, LPN confirmed working
with Resident #8 on 9/23/24 and recalled the incident. Staff S recalled coming out of another resident's
room seeing all these employees going to Resident #8's room. Staff S said she immediately followed, as
she was the assigned nurse. She said upon arrival, she noted Resident #8 on the floor with blood on his
head. Staff S said the CNA responsible for the resident (Staff T, CNA) stated she turned the resident, and
he rolled out of the bed. She stated Resident #8 had an air mattress with collapsable sides. Staff S stated
she was not sure how this happened as Resident #8 was tall, thin, and did not move.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 5:13 p.m. with Staff T, CNA. Staff T confirmed she cared for
Resident #8 on the night of 9/23/24. She said he often had behaviors and yelled. She said she went in and
talked to him, and he was calm. She said since the resident was calm, she thought she could clean him up
on her own. She said she cleaned up his front and rolled him away from her to clean up his back side. She
said the resident was on an air mattress and they are slippery. She said he was not really on a sheet. She
said when she rolled him away from her, he slipped off the other side. She said she tried to catch him by his
shirt, but he fell off and hit the floor. She said as that happened, she had to let go of his shirt and go search
for someone to help. She said she went outside and got the nurse assigned to him. She said she didn't
really know his injuries, but he was bleeding, and the nurse started working on him. The CNA said she had
previously assisted with Resident #8 being cleaned and changed because he was sometimes combative.
She said she was only worried about his behavior and thought since he was calm, she could change him
herself. She said the CNAs do not know if a resident is a one-person or a two-person assist because it is
not in the computer or on their Kardex. She said they have to go off of personal judgement and it is
sometimes passed down from the previous shift's CNA. Staff T explained if shift to shift report was not
completed, then you just go off your experience. She said the facility had not done any training on
turning/positioning residents before or after the incident with Resident #8.
Review of Resident #8's Comprehensive Care Plan, 8/2/24, showed the following:
-Focus: Resident needed assistance with activities of daily living because of weakness. The goal showed: I
will improve my ability to transfer, dress, toilet, ambulate by next review. The interventions included:
Anticipate resident's needs; Assist me with all oral intake of food and fluids; Assist me with hygiene,
bathing, dressing, toileting and transfers; Assist me with toileting promptly when requested; Assist with all
ADL care to ensure daily needs are met.
-Focus: The staff have identified that I am at risk for falls because of these risk factors: Unaware of safety
needs. The goal showed: I will have minimized injury due to a fall through next review. The interventions
included: Anticipate resident's needs; I should have sneakers, shoes, slippers with rubber soles or non-slip
socks when I am out of bed; Keep frequently used items within reach: TV remote, tissues, water glass over
bed stand and my water glass (unless I need thickened liquids or can't have anything by mouth); Keep my
call light within reach so I can call for assistance; Maintain bed in lowest locked position.
-Focus: At times I can agitated, combative, continuous outburst. The goal showed: I will show a

when able to give resident feeling of control; Converse with during care about topic of interest to redirect;
Monitor for effectiveness of medication prescribed to limit behavior; Report to Dr if not effective or behavior
continues to decline; Psych eval and follow up per order.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 1:10 p.m. with Staff Z, LPN UM (Unit Manager). Staff Z said
residents were evaluated by therapy and those results were sent to the MDS team. She said MDS then
enters the information about the functional level of the resident and that populates to the Kardex. She said it
usually says dependent or max assist, something like that. She said dependent means two-person assist
and maximum assist means 1-2. When asked how the CNAs would know which to use since they cannot
assess residents she said, That is all I know about the process.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 12:48 p.m. with Staff Y, CNA. She said the facility had not done
any training on turning, positioning, or transferring residents. She said the CNAs do not know if a resident is
a one or two-person assist or if they need a lift. She said the CNAs have To figure it out.
Interviews were conducted from 10/22/24 to 10/28/24 at various times with the following staff: Staff U, D, W,
X, V, N, O, Q, CNA's. During these interviews staff stated the computer system does not indicate specific
directions for what level of care (i.e Assist of one, mechanical lift) is needed for residents' ADL needs. The
staff stated usually they just know how to care for residents based on our experience. The CNAs said they
try to complete shift to shift report to inform other CNAs of care needs, but it does not always happen with
staffing patterns and time constraints.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:23 p.m. with the MDS Coordinator. She said approximately a
year ago, when the MDS changed from section G to section GG, it quit having an assist of 1 or two option.
She stated related to the care plan not indicating a level of assistance needed, That is not a directive I have
been given here. She said the CNAs would just know the level of care from passing it down in report. She
doesn't know how else they would know. The MDS Coordinator confirmed CNAs cannot assess residents.
Review of hospital records for Resident #8, dated 9/24/24, showed the resident presented to the
emergency department and underwent a head and maxillofacial CT (computed tomography) scan which
revealed an 8 millimeter (mm) subdural hemorrhage layering along the right frontotemporal convexity, with
no significant midline shift, interval development of large right frontotemporal infarct is noted compared to
February 2022, and possible acute/subacute. The resident was also noted to have a right front scalp
hematoma which was a laceration, and sutures were applied. Upon arrival the resident was noted to have a
forehead laceration with a dressing in place that was blood soaked. The resident was unable to answer
questions correctly although he was attempting to. The CT scan results, dated 9/23/24, showed the
following: Calvarium/Scalp: large right frontal scalp hematoma calvaria fracture evaluation limited by motion
artifact. CT Maxillofacial: comminuted right greater than left nasal bone fractures moderate overlying soft
tissue swelling.
Review Resident #8's ER record showed the resident received 12 sutures to right eyebrow laceration.
Resident #8 was admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit). No other documentation is available at this time.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
plan did not have assist requirements as an intervention. The NHA stated, I thought it was there. The NHA
stated no investigation was needed. The NHA stated after comparing statements from staff he decided to
eventually find the CNA neglected to utilize proper positioning techniques and the facility had no control
over this. The NHA stated this was based on the DCF investigation. After the NHA spoke with the
investigator, the NHA decided to start a neglect report. The NHA stated the report was filed and the nursing
assistant was reported to the board. The NHA and DON stated no other actions needed to be taken. They
stated they did not do any in-services, review their policies, or interview other residents. They stated no
education was provided to staff post-incident.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 4:38 p.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR). He said
Resident #8 had severe safety awareness concerns and had decreased coordination. He said Resident #8
was totally dependent and in therapy that means they would use two people to assist. He said nursing
decides if two people should be used for transfers and care on the unit. He said the Resident #8 had rigid
tone so Everything is total dependent, and he needs a lot of help. He said the resident having rigid tone
means staff would have to hold him because he cannot hold himself while turning. He said if the resident
was being turned, he would need a person on each side of him. The DOR stated, To roll him he still needs a
lot of help. He said if the resident didn't have control, it is dangerous for a CNA to roll the resident away
from them because they can roll off the bed if no one is on the other side. The DOR said for therapy, Total
dependent means max assist; two people and lifts.
Review of the facility's Abuse and Neglect Log, dated 4/24 to 10/24, did not reveal any reports after 8/28/24
of any incidents of abuse or neglect.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 10:33 a.m. with the DON. The DON stated she had validated

for [Resident #12]. Staff V said, I was in a doorway and heard a loud thud. I turned and noted [Resident
#12[ on the floor, it looked bad, no one was near. Staff V stated there was no walker and most of the
residents came without their walkers/wheelchairs, etc. She said those items were not brought with them for
the evacuation. Staff V, said the DON did finally come over to Resident #12, after another nurse had already

to wound care.
Review of Resident #19's Comprehensive Care Plan, 6/25/24, showed a focus area of alteration in skin
integrity and at risk for impaired skin integrity related to reduced mobility, generalized weakness,
malnutrition, and incontinence. Interventions included: administer treatments as ordered and monitor for
effectiveness, frequent repositioning, and inform resident/family/doctor of any new areas of skin breakdown.
Review of Resident #19's progress notes did not reveal any documentation on 10/8/24 related to a wound

An interview and observation was conducted on 10/23/24 at 10:10 a.m. with Staff C, RN. Staff D, CNA was
present during the observation. She said she did not know what happened. Staff C said she had not put
any bandages on the resident, so she hadn't seen it yet. Staff C confirmed she routinely cared for Resident
#19. Staff C was observed entering the room of Resident #19 and assessing his right arm. She confirmed
the bandage was dated 10/8/24 and said the resident should have been seen by wound care. Staff C said
she had not noticed the bandage before. Staff C gathered supplies and re-entered the room and began
removing the bandage. The bandage was not easily removed, the non-adherent portion of the bandage was
stuck to the skin. Once removed, an open area approximately 1 inch long by ½ inch wide with
sanguineous drainage was observed. The surrounding skin looked to be dark red and blue-tinged bruising
extending approximately 1-1.5 inches on all sides forming a circular shape. The RN used gauze and saline
to clean the wound, applied triple antibiotic ointment, and covered

Review of Resident #20's admission Nursing Evaluation, dated 10/115/24, showed the resident's skin
condition as skin clear and ashen. There was no documentation on a wound on the resident's right lower
leg.
Review of Resident #20's AHCA Form 3008, undated, showed she had a skin tear to her right foot and right
shin.
Review of Resident #20's Progress notes did not reveal any notes related to a wound on her right lower leg.
An interview and observation was conducted on 10/23/24 at 2:23 p.m. with Staff J, LPN. He confirmed he
knew Resident #20 and was assigned to care for her. He said the resident had very thin skin and wore a
boot on her left leg due to a previous fracture. When asked about the wound on her right leg he said he did
not think she had one. Staff J was observed entering Resident #20's room and assessing her right leg. He
then said he did recall seeing the bandage she had on when she was admitted . Staff J reviewed the
resident's orders and confirmed she did not have any wound care orders and did not know what type of
wound she had under the bandage. He said she should have had wound care orders when she arrived. He
was again observed entering Resident #20's wound with wound care supplies. He had a difficult time
removing the bandage due to the non-adherent part of the bandage being stuck to the wound scab. The
bandage had dry drainage on the center. When it was removed the scab was pulled off the skin tear on the
resident's leg. Staff J was observed cleaning the skin tear with saline, putting triple antibiotic ointment in
place and applying a new bandage.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 3:23 p.m. with the Assisted Director of Nursing (ADON). She
stated skin checks occurred weekly for each resident. She said when a resident is admitted with a
bandage, the nurse should get orders from the provider, and it should be documented on the skin
assessment. The ADON said skin tears should be included on the skin assessments for residents. She said
all bandages should be changed per doctor orders. She said a bandage dated 10/8/24 should not have
remained on the resident on until 10/23/24. She stated, This would be an infection risk. She said she would
have expected Resident #19's wound to have been on his 2 skin checks that had been completed. The
ADON said for Resident #20 she would have expected the nurse to have called the doctor to have gotten
wound care orders and for the bandage to have been changed.
An interview was conducted on 10/29/24 at 11:07 a.m. with the DON. She said if a resident had a bandage
on admission the nurse should remove the bandage and see What is under there and get orders, unless it
is a surgical site. The DON said that is Nursing 101. She said she would have expected Resident #21 to
have had orders upon admission, not five days later.
Review of a facility policy titled Wound care policy, reviewed 10/25/24, showed the following:
Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for the care of wounds to promote healing.

point where she will be more functional than she was before the injury, which was bedbound, wheelchair
dependent, non-weight bearing. My hope is that the incision heals, and she does not develop any
perioperative complications arising, such as blood clots, infections, wound healing problems, fractures,
dislocations, or risks of the medications and anesthesia.
Review of Resident #3's progress note, dated 6/24/24 at 3:36 p.m., authored by the Director of Nursing
(DON) showed: Investigation and statements stated that fx [fracture] happened during transfer of resident
from bed to chair. Resident at no time had a fall. Daughter made aware of findings of investigation.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 4:43 p.m. with the DON and Risk Manager (RM). The DON
stated during an investigation it was determined Resident #3's fracture occurred during a transfer. The DON
said she had been notified the resident was transferred out with a potential fracture on 6/22/24. She stated
an investigation was started to see how the possible fracture happened. She said a report was not filed for
abuse or neglect as the fracture occurred during transfer.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 5:08 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the
Administrator in Training (AIT). The NHA said he became aware of Resident #3's fracture during a morning
meeting on 6/22/24 when a nurse's note was read that stated Resident #3 had a fall. He said the
management team reviewed the statements from the staff who worked, and everyone stated there was no
fall. He said the management team did not complete interviews, they just read the written statements
received. The NHA explained the Department of Children and Families (DCF) came in later that same
morning (6/22/24) as the hospital had contacted them regarding the fracture. The NHA said the
management team investigated and determined Resident #3 did not have a fall, therefore they did not file a
reportable event. The NHA said the investigation they did, did not indicate how the resident was transferred
to the wheelchair.
During a follow-up interview on 10/23/24 at 9:38 a.m. with the NHA. The NHA stated he did not know how
the fracture occurred, he stated, I went off the DCF investigation.

Resident #3 and recalled the event on 6/22/24. She said upon arrival to the unit on 6/22/24, Resident #3
was up in the wheelchair. Staff M said Resident #3 was usually self-propelling around the unit and talked
nonsensically. She said on the morning on 6/22/24 Resident #3 was not self-propelling nor speaking as
usual. Staff M said she did not think much of it, she thought maybe Resident #3 was just tired from the night
before. She said another nurse came to her and asked if she thought Resident #3 looked funny. She stated,
I then noted the angle of Resident #3's leg was not right. Staff M said she went to assess the resident's leg
and as soon as she reached for her leg, Resident #3 started screaming. Staff M said the resident answered
yes to being in pain when asked. She said Resident #3 was not able to be touched therefore they contacted
911. Staff M said when she was on the phone with 911, the DON told her to cancel the call, because the
x-rays could be conducted in the facility. Staff M said she did not cancel the call and when 911 arrived, they
had to sedate Resident #3 so

An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 12:00 p.m. with Staff O, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Staff
O said she recalled Resident #3 and the shift when the fracture occurred. She said she worked 6/21/24 for
the 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. shift and the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift ending 6/22/24. Staff O said she was not assigned
to Resident #3. She said Staff P, CNA asked her to help transfer Resident #3. Staff O explained she
overheard Resident #3 scream multiple times during the night, which is normal for her, so she did not think
much about it. Staff O said when she entered the room to assist Staff P, Resident #3 screams were
different, painful almost. She said she helped Staff P place Resident #3 in the wheelchair. Staff O explained
for the transfer of Resident #3, she placed her arm under the resident's, to assist with standing. She said
the two CNAs had the resident pivot and they assisted the resident to sit in the wheelchair. Staff O said she
does not recall if the resident scream out or just took a deep breath during the transfer, but it was very
quick. Staff O said Staff P was rushing and wanted to get off shift. Staff O said typically when Resident #3
was in the wheelchair, she self-propelled throughout the unit but she did not go anywhere. She said she
thought Resident #3 was just tired from being up most of the night. Staff O said later that same morning
she observed blood on the arm of Resident #3 and informed the nurse. Staff O stated no skin tears
occurred during the transfer. Staff O stated no one ever spoke with her regarding the fracture until the next
day when the supervisor asked her to write a statement as Resident #3 had a fracture. She stated she did
not hear anything else regarding the subject.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 11:38 a.m. with Staff Q, CNA. Staff Q recalled working 6/21/24
on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift into 6/22/24 and stated Resident #3 was on the morning list to get up early.
She said Staff P, CNA was assigned to Resident #3 and would have been the one to transfer the resident.
She said she did not recall anyone mentioning anything throughout the shift, it was a normal night until she
noticed Resident #3 had blood on her hand and was gripping her hip. Staff Q said she brought this to the
attention of Staff M, LPN and Staff G, LPN. She said the nurses commented about the resident's leg
looking odd. She said she didn't notice the resident's leg at the time as she was looking at the blood on her
hand. She said Staff M, LPN called 911 and while Staff M was on the phone, the DON told her to hang up
because we could take care of the resident here. She said the nurse didn't hang up the phone. Staff Q said
she was surprised that no one asked her about the incident.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 11:18 a.m. with Staff G, LPN. Staff G confirmed he worked the
evening of 6/21/24 into the morning of 6/22/24 and said he was the one that saw Resident #3 sitting in her
wheelchair and her leg bent awkwardly. Staff G said he informed Staff M, LPN and told her to look at
Resident #3 and Staff M immediately said, Oh her leg is broken. Staff G said they were not able to touch
the leg because the resident would scream. Staff G said no one looked into how the fracture occurred. Staff
G said they didn't know if Resident #3 fell and just got put back in the wheelchair. He said Resident #3
didn't ever try to walk or get out of bed and to his knowledge had never fallen before. Staff G said
management did not know what happened, they got statements from a couple of CNAs then moved Staff P,
CNA, who was assigned Resident #3, to a different floor. Staff G said, there were Many incidences of
neglect that could have been prevented. He said, It is my belief she died from it, speaking of Resident #3's
hip fracture.

patient until EMS [Emergency Management Service] arrived. A message was left with the PCP [Primary
Care Provider] answering service. Family was called and voicemail was left, shift supervisor was notified.
Review of admission Records showed Resident #8 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including
Cerebrovascular Accident (stroke) with right hemiparesis, sepsis, dysphagia, wounds, and other
co-morbidities.
Review of Resident #8's admission MDS, dated [DATE], showed the resident was dependent with all
activities of daily living care (ADL), had impairments in both upper and lower extremities preventing
movement, and the resident had not had any falls since admission/entry or reentry prior to assessment.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 3:31 p.m. with Staff S, LPN. Staff S, LPN confirmed working
with Resident #8 on 9/23/24 and recalled the incident. Staff S recalled coming out of another resident's
room seeing all these employees going to Resident #8's room. Staff S said she immediately followed, as
she was the assigned nurse. She said upon arrival, she noted Resident #8 on the floor with blood on his
head. Staff S said the CNA responsible for the resident (Staff T, CNA) stated she turned the resident, and
he rolled out of the bed. She stated Resident #8 had an air mattress with collapsable sides. Staff S stated
she was not sure how this happened as Resident #8 was tall, thin, and did not move.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 5:13 p.m. with Staff T, CNA. Staff T confirmed she cared for
Resident #8 on the night of 9/23/24. She said he often had behaviors and yelled. She said she went in and
talked to him, and he was calm. She said since the resident was calm, she thought she could clean him up
on her own. She said she cleaned up his front and rolled him away from her to clean up his back side. She
said the resident was on an air mattress and they are slippery. She said he was not really on a sheet. She
said when she rolled him away from her, he slipped off the other side. She said she tried to catch him by his
shirt, but he fell off and hit the floor. She said as that happened, she had to let go of his shirt and go search
for someone to help. She said she went outside and got the nurse assigned to him. She said she didn't
really know his injuries, but he was bleeding, and the nurse started working on him. The CNA said she had
previously assisted with Resident #8 being cleaned and changed because he was sometimes combative.
She said she was only worried about his behavior and thought since he was calm, she could change him
herself. She said the CNAs do not know if a resident is a one-person or a two-person assist because it is
not in the computer or on their Kardex. She said they have to go off of personal judgement and it is
sometimes passed down from the previous shift's CNA. Staff T explained if shift to shift report was not
completed, then you just go off your experience. She said the facility had not done any training on
turning/positioning residents before or after the incident with Resident #8.
Review of Resident #8's Comprehensive Care Plan, 8/2/24, showed the following:
-Focus: Resident needed assistance with activities of daily living because of weakness. The goal showed: I
will improve my ability to transfer, dress, toilet, ambulate by next review. The interventions included:

bathing, dressing, toileting and transfers; Assist me with toileting promptly when requested; Assist with all

An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 1:10 p.m. with Staff Z, LPN UM (Unit Manager). Staff Z said
residents were evaluated by therapy and those results were sent to the MDS team. She said MDS then
enters the information about the functional level of the resident and that populates to the Kardex. She said it
usually says dependent or max assist, something like that. She said dependent means two-person assist
and maximum assist means 1-2. When asked how the CNAs would know which to use since they cannot
assess residents she said, That is all I know about the process.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 12:48 p.m. with Staff Y, CNA. She said the facility had not done
any training on turning, positioning, or transferring residents. She said the CNAs do not know if a resident is
a one or two-person assist or if they need a lift. She said the CNAs have To figure it out.
Interviews were conducted from 10/22/24 to 10/28/24 at various times with the following staff: Staff U, D, W,
X, V, N, O, Q, CNA's. During these interviews staff stated the computer system does not indicate specific
directions for what level of care (i.e Assist of one, mechanical lift) is needed for residents' ADL needs. The
staff stated usually they just know how to care for residents based on our experience. The CNAs said they
try to complete shift to shift report to inform other CNAs of care needs, but it does not always happen with
staffing patterns and time constraints.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:23 p.m. with the MDS Coordinator. She said approximately a
year ago, when the MDS changed from section G to section GG, it quit having an assist of 1 or two option.
She stated related to the care plan not indicating a level of assistance needed, That is not a directive I have
been given here. She said the CNAs would just know the level of care from passing it down in report. She
doesn't know how else they would know. The MDS Coordinator confirmed CNAs cannot assess residents.
Review of hospital records for Resident #8, dated 9/24/24, showed the resident presented to the
emergency department and underwent a head and maxillofacial CT (computed tomography) scan which
revealed an 8 millimeter (mm) subdural hemorrhage layering along the right frontotemporal convexity, with
no significant midline shift, interval development of large right frontotemporal infarct is noted compared to
February 2022, and possible acute/subacute. The resident was also noted to have a right front scalp
hematoma which was a laceration, and sutures were applied. Upon arrival the resident was noted to have a
forehead laceration with a dressing in place that was blood soaked. The resident was unable to answer
questions correctly although he was attempting to. The CT scan results, dated 9/23/24, showed the

Review Resident #8's ER record showed the resident received 12 sutures to right eyebrow laceration.
Resident #8 was admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit). No other documentation is available at this time.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/2024 at 4:10 p.m. with the NHA and DON. The NHA stated the facility
was following Resident #8's plan of care with one-person assist. The NHA confirmed the care plan did not
have assist requirements as an intervention. The NHA stated, I thought it was there. The NHA stated no
investigation was needed. The NHA stated after comparing statements from staff he decided to eventually
find the CNA neglected to utilize proper positioning techniques and the facility had no control over this. The
NHA stated this was based on the DCF investigation. After the NHA spoke with the investigator, the NHA
decided to start a neglect report. The NHA stated the report was filed and the nursing assistant was
reported to the board. The NHA and DON stated no other actions needed to be taken. They stated they did
not do any in-services, review their policies, or interview other residents. They stated no education was
provided to staff post-incident.
An interview was conducted on 10/23/24 at 4:38 p.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR). He said
Resident #8 had severe safety awareness concerns and had decreased coordination. He said Resident #8
was totally dependent and in therapy that means they would use two people to assist. He said nursing
decides if two people should be used for transfers and care on the unit. He said the Resident #8 had rigid
tone so Everything is total dependent, and he needs a lot of help. He said the resident having rigid tone
means staff would have to hold him because he cannot hold himself while turning. He said if the resident
was being turned, he would need a person on each side of him. The DOR stated, To roll him he still needs a
lot of help. He said if the resident didn't have control, it is dangerous for a CNA to roll the resident away
from them because they can roll off the bed if no one is on the other side. The DOR said for therapy, Total
dependent means max assist; two people and lifts.
Review of the facility's Abuse and Neglect Log, dated 4/24 to 10/24, did not reveal any reports after 8/28/24
of any incidents of abuse or neglect.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 10:33 a.m. with the DON. The DON stated she had validated
with the NHA, no other reports or allegations of abuse or neglect had been made since 8/28/24.

Review of Resident #12 Comprehensive Care Plan, 7/19/24, shows:
-Focus: The staff have identified that I am at risk for falls because of these risk factors: Dementia, use of
anti-psychotic medication, use of antidepressant medication. The care plan interventions showed:
Anticipate resident's needs; I should have sneakers, shoes, slippers with rubber soles or non-slip socks
when I am out of bed; Keep frequently used items within reach: TV remote, tissues, water glass over bed
stand and my water glass (unless I need thickened liquids or can't have anything by mouth); Keep my call
light within reach so I can call for assistance; Maintain bed in lowest locked position.
-Focus: I need assistance with activities of daily living because of weakness. The care plan intervention
showed: Anticipate resident's needs; Assist me with all oral intake of food and fluids; Assist me with
hygiene, bathing, dressing, toileting and transfers; Assist me with toileting promptly when requested; Assist
with all ADL care to ensure daily needs are met.

answer promptly.
An interview was conducted on 10/21/2024 at 3:15 p.m. with the NHA and AIT. They stated the facility
needed to prepare for evacuation to a church on 9/24/24. The NHA said at the church the County
Emergency Management showed up and stated the facility should move their residents to a county shelter.
The NHA and AIT stated no one was seriously injured, no one died, and no one eloped. They said there
may have been a skin tear. The NHA stated, We did the best we could. The NHA confirmed they did not
compile a post-storm assessment, as they did not have time; they needed to get ready for the next storm.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 11:50 a.m. with Staff V, CNA. Staff V stated, During the
evacuation things happened. Staff V stated, Yes there was a fall. I was in the gym where [Resident #12] was
assigned. The management did not leave out assignments for CNAs, so I am not sure who was responsible
for [Resident #12]. Staff V said, I was in a doorway and heard a loud thud. I turned and noted [Resident
#12[ on the floor, it looked bad, no one was near. [TRUNCATED]

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure sufficient nursing staff, with the
appropriate competencies and skill sets, provided nursing and related services to assure resident safety
and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each
resident on four out of four resident units in the facility. This failure resulted in a fracture of unknown origin,
falls with major injury, lack of wound care according to physician orders, lack of medication administration
according to physician orders, missed laboratory orders, lack of follow-up for critical diagnostic results, and
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) care not being provided to residents per care plans.
This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury and
or death to Residents #3, #8, #12, #9, #19, #21, #22, #20, #1, #13, #15, #16, #18, #7, #17, #24, #25 #14,
and #10 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 6/22/24. The findings of Immediate
Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 10/28/04 and the severity and scope was reduced to a F.
Findings included:
Cross reference F600
An observation was conducted on 10/21/24 at 10:11 a.m. of Resident #19 in bed with the head of the bed
elevated. He had a bandage on his right anterior forearm. The bandage was approximately 6 by 4 and
clearly visible. The bandage had a faded date of 10/8/24 written on it. The same bandage remained in place
on 10/22/24 and 10/23/24.
An observation and interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 10:47 a.m. with Resident #21. The resident
was observed to have two bandages on his left leg, one on his knee and one on his foot. The bandage on
the left knee had slid down his leg leaving the open wound exposed. The resident was also observed to
have a bandage on his right knee and no bandage on his right foot. The bandage on the right knee was
observed to have blood soaked through the underside. The right foot had an open wound on his 2nd toe
and on his heel. None of the bandages in place had a date notated. Resident #21 said, I'm very upset. This
is why I have come here. He said he was really worried because he didn't want any further infections. He
said he had not had a dressing change for the 10 days he had been at the facility. He said he kept asking
the nurses about changing the bandages with no follow-up on their part. He said no one responded to his
call bell for two days and he felt very isolated.
A follow-up observation and interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 1:50 p.m. with Resident #21. The
resident's bandages remained in the same condition as they were the previous day. The resident confirmed
the bandages had not been changed. He said he was not sure why he was there and if the facility did not
do something soon, he would leave against medical advice (AMA).
On 10/23/24 9:30 a.m. Resident #21 was observed rolling through the front corridor with the same loose,
undated dressing in place.

An interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 11:30 a.m. with family members of a resident. The family said
staff did not assist the residents with eating. They observed the staff offering one bite of food and if the
resident did not take it immediately, the staff member took the tray away and no one attempted again to get
the resident to eat. The family said staff asked them about feeding the resident themselves, but they do not
feel comfortable doing that because they do not want the resident to choke.
An observation and interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 9:41 a.m. of a call light on in room [ROOM
NUMBER]A and 109B. The call light system at the nurses' station showed the lights had been on for 26

a half for your call light to be answered. She said You could be dying in here and no one would come. They
never have enough staff. Upon entering room [ROOM NUMBER]B the resident was observed sitting in her
wheelchair crying. She said she really needed to go to the bathroom and her light had been on for 30 mins.

At 9:49 a.m. Staff FF, CNA was observed entering the room to assist the resident. The nurse then checked
on the resident in 109A and assisted with getting a new gown.
An interview was conducted on 10/28/24 at 9:56 a.m. with Staff FF, CNA. She said staffing was not good,
especially on weekends. She confirmed the resident in 109B had her call light on for a while and she told
her she would come back. She said the problem is that some residents get their breakfast early, including
room [ROOM NUMBER]B. She said those residents then need to go to the bathroom and she is still
feeding other residents. Staff FF said just on her assignment she had six residents to assist with breakfast.
She said there is no additional help to feed residents or answer call bells during mealtimes.
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 3:23 p.m. with the ADON. She said residents were scheduled
for two showers a week and additional if requested. She said if a resident missed a shower staff should
document. She confirmed CNAs document showers in the Task section of the medical record. The ADON
said if a resident asked for a shower they should have gotten one. Regarding call lights, she said they
should have been responded to as soon as staff can. She said everyone should answer a call light, not just
CNAs. The ADON said call light response times had been an issue and she had heard about it. The ADON
agreed residents not getting assisted with eating is not acceptable. The ADON said she felt like a lot of
things weren't getting done because agency just don't care.
An interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 10:22 a.m. with Resident #13. Resident #13 stated, They [the
facility] are understaffed, as they have a significant amount of residents to care for. They don't have time to
care for me a lot of the times, I have to sit in my soiled brief. I feel demoralized when this happens. I have
expressed my concerns to the NHA, he useless and never gets back to me and makes comments like, we
are doing the best we can. You can leave in you don't like it. So, I just deal with it. Resident #13 continued to
state not receiving medications in a timely manner either.
An observation and interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 10:47 a.m. with Resident #21. He said, No one
responded to me [my call bell] for two days, I felt very isolated. Resident #21 stated being thirsty and the
facility only passes water one time per day, I have gotten smart and now ask for two cups. I don't think they
[facility] have time for me.
An interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 10:57 a.m. with a family member while visiting. The family
member stated I ensure myself or another family member is here to care for [resident] as the facility does
not have enough staff. The CNAs are very compassionate and try their best but just not enough of them.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 1:00 p.m. with Staff U, CNA. Staff U stated, Staffing is terrible, I
can't get my job done. For example, today I was told at 9:30 a.m. that someone [another CNA] did not show
up, so our assignments changed. Which means, no one was assigned to those residents from 7:00 to 9:30
a.m. they [the residents] had not been touched. It's too much, one and a half hours to figure out someone
did not show up and rearrange assignment. Breakfast was done, hopefully those residents did not need
assistance. There are a lot of heavy care residents (meaning total care) that need assistance with
everything. We just don't have time to do everything. There is not enough staff. Agency won't come here for
one reason or another. It's even worse on the weekends. On a couple of weekends there isn't even staff in
the main dining room. Family members are passing trays to residents as no one [staff] shows up in the
dining room.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 1:10 p.m. with Staff CC, CNA. Staff CC stated, Hard

working here, staffing is crazy, we are always short. You just have to work around, harder get up total care
[residents] they have to stay in bed. We have difficulty assisting in dining, especially if the resident takes
longer [to eat] and then food [gets] cold. Really hard to accomplish our job. Sometimes we are not even told
if someone did not show up [for their shift] then that assignment doesn't even have anyone over [the
residents] until it's noticed.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 1:15 p.m. with Staff DD, CNA. Staff DD stated, Staffing is not
good, call offs, workload is crazy. I can't get them [residents] 100%. I can do basics only, no showers, hardly
any assistance with meals especially if they need a lot of encouragement. Just not enough to assist with
everyone who needs.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 2:09 p.m. with Staff W, CNA. Staff W stated, Work a lot,
doubles, multiple days in a row. I don't have time for any extras with the residents, no time for breaks. Staff
W continued to state it's easier to leave the residents in their beds due to time restraints.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 2:18 p.m. with Staff X, CNA. Staff X stated, having to work a lot
due to not enough staff, call offs, works many doubles and multiple days in a row. We want to do what we
can for the residents, as the care is too much for the number we have. We don't have time for things like
showers, or just getting them out of bed.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 4:13 p.m. with Staff EE, LPN. Staff E stated the evening shift
[3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.) is especially challenging on staff. Many times, the staff scheduled don't show up
and are not replaced, we don't start with the number needed, many reasons not enough. The facility
receives a number of new admissions on the evening shift, not sure how those residents feel. Very sad, we
do what we can.
During an interview on 10/24/24 at 11:50 a.m. with Staff V, CNA. Staff V stated, Staffing is awful. It's crazy,
no one knows what is up, people [staff] come and go as they please. No one pays attention to what anyone
does. Staff V stated not having time to get resident up out of bed regularly, shower. Only, the basics.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 12:00 p.m. with Staff O, CNA stated, staffing was difficult, as have over
20 residents a piece to care for. Staff O said accomplishing anything outside of basic care is hard. Staff O
stated, Showers don't happen, and you hope you have all good eaters as not much time to assist.
During an interview on 10/28/24 at 11:38 a.m. with Staff Q, CNA stated working for the facility for many
years and the past few months have just been terrible. She stated, Staffing and patient care is a big mess.
The facility has no idea if staff are here or not. Nursing doesn't pay attention to residents, unless their
families are here. Administration has no idea what they are doing.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 12:17 p.m. with a family member. The family member stated
having to come to ensure family member receives care. Someone from the family is here most of the time,
especially for meals as the staff don't have time to assist. The family member stated, In fact, we have had to
pass trays in the dining room to residents on weekends as no staff members show up.

veteran so I don't mind, but they should be helping him. I will put the call light on for him, because he needs
to be changed. The staff will comes in and turn the light off and says they will be back. It will be an hour and
a half to two hours before they come back to change him. Numerous staff don't show up when they are
supposed to, weekends are especially short. It is impossible to get any help around here.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 11:58 a.m. with Resident #15. Resident #15 stated last Friday
she Did not get shower and could not get help. This happens from time to time because they don't have
enough staff. Resident #15 stated speaking with the administration many times and filed grievances but
nothing happens.
On 10/28/24 at 9:39 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. a strong smell of urine occurred on the 300 unit near the right side
of the nurse's station.
On 10/21/24 at 10:24 a.m. an observation on the A-wing revealed 6 call lights going off, two LPN's present
in hallway took several minutes and surveyor walking by staff to enter one of the rooms with the light on.
During an interview and observation on 10/21/24 at 12:50 p.m. the family member of Resident #7 was in
the resident's room at the bedside assisting the with lunch meal. Resident #7 family member stated, The
facility never knows what their staffing should be and is always short staffed from the nurses to the CNAs.
She said the staffing numbers are never posted on the weekends even after she has told the facility they
need to be posted. Resident #7 family member stated Resident #7 doesn't always get showers and they will
skip the shower until I say something to the staff. Not sure why I need to keep asking for something they
should be providing.
During an interview on 10/21/24 at 10:07 a.m. Resident #16 stated the care here is not great, it takes a long
time for his call light to be answered, if at all. Resident #16 states having to ask to have his sheets changed.
Resident #16 said not having had a shower or bed bath for over two weeks, if requests the staff say they
are busy and has to wait, which means I don't get one.

It takes a long time for call lights to be answered, don't get showers or baths when supposed to. Resident
#18 stated, I feel like management doesn't care.

working the 3pm-11pm shift. Staff GG said there is supposed to be 7 CNAs, but sometimes there are only 5
working. Staff GG said it is very busy when this happens. Staff GG stated she does not get overwhelmed as
she has been a CNA for many years and has a lot of experience. Staff GG stated, the CNAs with less
experience have a harder time keeping up when there is not enough staffing, and they struggle. She stated,
sometimes upon arrival to the shift residents have not had all of their needs met from the day shift and

to work on the A Unit until 11:00 p.m. on 10/22/24. She said she stayed over because a nurse did not come
to relieve her. She said she left the facility before another nurse arrived, thus leaving Staff G, LPN as the
only nurse for 64 residents. She said she left because the other nurse Was almost here. Staff C said she
did not do a narcotic count or give report to Staff G, LPN. Staff C said she did not remember what time she
left the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
An interview was conducted on 10/25/24 at 11:18 a.m. with Staff G, LPN. Staff G confirmed he worked on
10/22/24 11:00 p.m. to 10/23/24 7:00 a.m. shift on the A Unit. Staff G said he does not know what time Staff
C, LPN left. He confirmed he was the only nurse for 64 residents but does not remember how long it was
between Staff C leaving and the Unit Manager arriving. Staff G remembered getting a new admission
resident while being the only nurse on the unit. He said as transport was leaving the facility the Unit
Manager arrived. Staff G said there were staffing issues in the facility. He said over the weekend the police
were called by an agency nurse because she did not want to leave her assignment or it would be
abandonment, but there was no staff in the facility. He said staff had called the staffing phone and no one
answered and the ADON said she would not come in. He said he called the NHA and the NHA made some
calls getting the D Wing Unit Manager to come in. Staff G said he counted narcotics with the agency nurse
so she could leave, and he waited until the Unit Manager arrived. Staff G said, Staffing [explicative]. He said
there were a lot of disgruntled employees, and they never had the staff they needed. Staff G said it was like
that often and There is rarely a time we have adequate staff, so we have time to give the patients the
adequate care they deserve. He said they do not know where people are working, and people had to switch
units mid shift. Staff G said a week or so ago some of the resident's family members stepped in and helped
in the dining room. He said the family were passing residents their meal trays and pouring juice and coffee
for residents. He said staffing had been like that for a while and staff Feel like pawns in this big game. He
said he often gets complaints from residents and family members about not getting showers and ADL care.
He said, We don't have the capacity because of the workload. He said, If we don't have the eyes on the
floor to see a resident on the edge of the bed because CNAs are in other rooms . A lot of the stuff can be
prevented but we can't catch it in time. Staff G said they had a lot of residents that tried to stand up and
needed to be watched because they tried to get up by themselves. He said if you have 4 CNAs taking care
of 60 + patients, someone is going to get neglected. Staff G said there have been Many incidences of
neglect that could have been prevented.
An interview was conducted on 10/29/24 at 11:07 a.m. with the DON regarding staffing concerns. She
agreed during mealtimes there are not enough hands on deck. She said the management team (i.e. DON,
ADON, etc.) do not go to the units to help with meals. The DON said the facility had a lot of call outs and
use agency staff. She said if all else fails they offered bonuses to their staff to come in. As for the night shift
going from 10/22/24 into the morning or 10/23/24, she said she was told a nurse stayed over until the unit
manager arrived and got report. She said she was not aware there was a period of time with only one nurse
for 64 residents. She said having one nurse is not acceptable, unless there are under 40 residents. She
said the nurse should have stayed on the unit until a relieving nurse arrived, report was given, and a
narcotic count was completed. She said she heard the facility was short on CNAs over the weekend, but
was told the NHA came in to work because he is a CNA. The DON said staff had been good about picking
up shifts, but they are angry with management about several issues. She said they are down to very few
agencies they work with. The DON said there is a problem with call outs, no shows, or some staff quitting.
She agreed staffing concerns and shortages lead to a domino effect with care not being provided. The DON
agreed that all the

Residents Affected - Many
concerns combined including staffing, wound care, ADL care, labs, and medications all together can lead to
neglect of the residents.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:35 PM with the Staffing Coordinator (SC). The SC stated
overseeing the staffing for the building. The SC explained when a call off is received, we try to fill the
position immediately. The SC stated staff know they have to report off a minimum of 2 hours prior to start of
shift, if less than 2 hours it is considered a no call no show. The SC stated having had 4 call offs for
10/24/24 and was able to fill through calling staff and using agency staff which would be the process. The
SC stated being instructed by the NHA and DON to staff the building based on census and state
calculations of a minimum of 2.0 for CNA and 1.0 for Nursing. The SC stated the biggest obstacle for
staffing is finding good staff. The SC stated they can only utilize one agency as the facility has not paid two
other agencies monies owed.
During an interview on 10/25/24 at 3:23 p.m. the ADON stated, I think there is enough staff here. We try to
staff so nurses have no more than 40 residents and CNAs 20. We base the staffing on census. The ADON
stated a nurse should not leave the facility until the next nurse arrives to take over the cart. The ADON
stated being vaguely aware, that two nurses had to stay over as another nurse did not show up the other
night, but I thought a nurse came in to relieve one. The ADON stated not being aware that the nurse did not
stay until the other nurse arrived which left, one nurse to care for 64 residents. The ADON stated being
unaware the police department was contacted regarding not having enough staff in the facility.
During an interview on 10/25/2024 at 4:24 p.m. with the NHA staffing was discussed. The NHA stated
staffing the facility is based on the census for day. The NHA stated the Staffing Coordinator (SC) is
responsible for totaling the number of hours staff worked the day before. The NHA stated they did increase
the number of staff on the rehab unit based on acuity but really it [staffing] is on census. The NHA stated if
there is a call off, the supervisor is responsible for finding a replacement for the position. The supervisor
works with the SC to accomplish this. If the position is a nurse, then the agency can be called and if the
position remains open then the supervisor/UM will fill this position. The NHA stated the UM hours are in the
system as direct care staff. The facility has a staffing phone for the staff to call with any need. The phone is
carried by the Nurse Manager on call for the day. The NHA stated being aware of staffing concerns from
staff and families. The NHA stated, Yes, I have heard of staffing concerns. I'll come over at 3:30 in the
morning, as staff are complaining. I will say to them, why do we need more [staff] if you are not going to do
the job, as you are just sitting at the station, talking when I come in. We are doing the best we can, we are
focusing on the evening shift [3-11p].
Review of facility's policy and procedure titled Staffing, dated revised 8/2022 showed:
Policy Statement: Our facility provides sufficient numbers of staff with the skills and competency necessary
to provide care and services for all residents in accordance with resident care plans and the facility
assessment.

Review of Resident # 15's October MAR revealed the bedtime dose of Keppra was not administered on
10/11/24 and 10/14/24, Lyrica was not administered on 10/13/24, 10/14/24, 10/15/24, 10/18/24, and
10/19/24, Percocet was not administered on 10/16/24. All medications not administered had an
administration note of on order from the pharmacy.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 10:42 AM with Staff F, LPN. She stated, If we have a missing
medication, we put an order in the computer for it. Sometimes we have to call the pharmacy if they haven't
sent it. Sometimes the pharmacy will have to order the medication before they send it. I would put a note in
saying per pharmacy, they are ordering the medication. If someone is out to the hospital for more than 24
hours, we have to put all the orders in and verify with the doctor. It usually only takes a couple minutes to
get it verified. If a medication is held because we don't have it, I notify the doctor and document that in a
progress note.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 10:55 a.m. with Staff J, LPN. He stated they order medications
that are low on the computer. Staff J said if he noticed the medication was on order, he would send the
pharmacy a fax and the medication would typically arrive right away. Staff J also stated if a medication was
held, he would have notified the doctor or nurse practitioner and put a progress note in the electronic
medical record.
An interview was conducted on 10/22/24 at 2:20 p.m. with the pharmacy for the facility. Regarding Resident
#15 the pharmacy stated Resident #15 needed new prescriptions for her medications due to the facility
changing pain management providers. The pharmacy said they received the prescription request for
Resident #15's Lyrica on 10/21/24, and for Percocet on 10/16/24. The pharmacy said they make multiple
deliveries to the facility each day. They said staff requested medications electronically, by fax or over the
phone. The pharmacy said there was no reason residents did not have medication available if it was
ordered.
An interview was conducted on 10/29/24 at 11:07 a.m. with the DON. She reviewed the medical records of
Resident's #1, #13, and #15. She said she did not know why Resident #1 did not get the Lyrica and
confirmed there was no documentation why it was not administered. She said Resident #15 shouldn't have
missed some of the medications she did due to them being in the facility's electronic dispensing machine.
The DON said there are a lot of agency nurses in the facility, and they didn't let her know. She said at one
point there was an issue with the facility's system integrating with the pharmacy, but even if that was the
case, there is no reason any resident should go days without their medication. Regarding Resident #13 the
DON said the resident admitted on [DATE] and there was no reason the Amiodarone was not in the facility.
She said that could have also been pulled from the electronic medication dispensing machine. The DON
said she believed all of the missing and on order medication is mostly due to agency nurses.

unaware of the critical findings on the ultrasound. The ADON said there should have been follow-up with
critical results to ensure the provider was notified so the problem could have been addressed.
An interview was conducted on 10/29/24 at 12:02 p.m. with Resident #9's wound care provider. He said he
ordered the ultrasound for Resident #9 on 8/19/24. He reviewed his notes and said he had no notes related
to ultrasound results. He said if he had received the results, he would have charted the information. He said
with the resident having occluded blood vessels he would have sent her straight to vascular. He said he
was not notified of the results, or he would have followed up.
An interview was conducted on 10/29/24 at 11:07 a.m. with the DON. She said she was only able to find the
ultrasound for Resident #9 was ordered by the wound care provider. The DON said she does not see where
any follow-up was completed with vascular for Resident #9. She said she spoke with the wound care
provider, and he was not happy he was not notified of the results. The DON said on the facility's end, the
result did not flag as having critical findings. She said she did not know until she pulled up the results to
review them. She said the system should alert the staff to critical values. The DON said when a nurse gets
critical results called to them, they should notify the provider. She said nurses are expected to follow-up on
their resident's labs and imaging. She said, In our head it was done. The doctor got notified. She said the
management team did not see the result to make sure there was more follow-up.
Review of Resident #9's progress note, dated 9/20/24, showed the resident's left foot is cold and blotchy
with no pulse. The resident stated there was a little pain when the nurse touched her feet. The doctor was
notified and ordered the resident to be sent to the hospital to have her left foot assessed.

Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the administration of the facility failed to update their emergency plan as
changes occurred and failed to plan and carry out a safe evacuation. There was a complete disregard for
patient safety and quality of care to be maintained during a natural disaster that required an evacuation.
Additionally, after one failed evacuation the facility did not secure a location for a second natural disaster
that occurred shortly after the first one.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility maintained an evacuation agreement with a local church that began in 2018. In February 2024
the church informed the facility that the agreement was to be terminated effective May 31, 2024. No
alternative evacuation location was arranged. In September of 2024 when evacuation was ordered for
hurricane [NAME] the facility staff moved 226 residents to a local church. Family members of the residents
called the police and emergency medical services to report conditions. Local Police, Fire and Emergency
officials assessed the location and deemed it unsafe. The residents were on small cots placed right next to
each, staff did not have enough room to care for the residents, the resident care was not organized,
supplies were not available, there was not enough room for every resident to be indoors, important supplies
were housed outside with rain predicted and the residents were not safe in terms of fire exits and
supervision. The local authorities moved all the residents to a county shelter the night before hurricane
[NAME].
Before hurricane [NAME] the facility Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) began calling Local County
Emergency Operation Center (CEOC), and State officials asking for an evacuation location or to be allowed
to not evacuate. Again, the facility did not have a plan for the safety and care of its residents. A volunteer at
the CEOC working with the Emergency Operations leadership assisted the NHA by determining that the
most acutely ill residents could be moved to a local Nursing Home. The NHA moved all the remaining 217
residents to a church in a nearby county. The CEOC acknowledged awareness of his plan and said they
were unable to approve evacuation plans at the last minute. Upon review after the storm, the County
Emergency Management did not approve of this location due to it being in an evacuation zone and
unsuitable if evacuations were ordered for a hurricane. The facility remains without a safe evacuation
location.
These failures created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury
and or death to all facility Residents and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on
09/24/2024. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy are ongoing and have not been removed, the severity and
scope remains an L as there has been no verification of removal of immediacy of harm.
Findings included:
During an interview on 10/20/24 at 3:15 p.m. with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the
Administrator in Training (AIT), the NHA said he knew the agreement with Evacuation Location #1 was
terminated sometime in January 2024 when he began as the NHA with the facility. The facility received the
termination of contract letter in March 2024. He said he started calling other vendors at this time to find a
suitable location and admitted to only looking for options to keep the entire facility in one location
(approximately 280 residents). The NHA stated he was unsuccessful and called (local) County Emergency
Management (CEM) for assistance, who instructed him they could not assist him. The NHA did not have a
location as of September 2024 when a hurricane was projected to impact St. Petersburg. The NHA stated
he was not able to find a location and continued to contact CEM for assistance,

no communication occurred to families during the evacuation for [NAME]. The AIT stated if families had her
number they were contacting her, although only if they had her number. The NHA stated he thought this
was successful event as no one eloped, died or (had a) major injury. The NHA admitted to not looking for a

Review of the approved facility disaster plan dated February 2024, provided by the local Emergency
Management office showed multiple sections such as Facility Basic information, Incident Command
Structure. It included Policies and Procedures on a Food Plan, Water Plan, Emergency Power Plan,
Medical Supplies, Medical Records, Sewage, Transportation and Rationale for disaster plan. It contained a
Hazard Analysis, Elevation certificate, Evacuation Plan and Essential Business Functions, Disaster Chain
of Command, a Floor Plan of the facility, Emergency meal plan, menus, a food a water list needed,
Evacuation Time Table, Information, Training and Exercises, Emergency Preparedness Communication
Plan, management and staff contact numbers. It contained the Sheltering License Agreement with
(Evacuation Location #1) and Mutual Aid Agreements with two local nursing homes. It contained
agreements with a Food distributor, commercial buses, wheelchair transport, a rental truck company,
Review of the approved facility disaster plan dated February 2024, provided by the local Emergency
Management office included a Sheltering License Agreement effective June 1, 2018, with the [NAME] of a
local church (Evacuation Location #1). The church agreed to make certain areas available to the Nursing
Home in the event of a hurricane evacuation order. A Shelter Agreement Clarification page was included
that showed the Church (Evacuation Location #1) would be able to accommodate 379 Residents from the
facility for the year 2023, signed by the NHA at the time and the [NAME] of the church on 5/3/2023. Mutual
Aid Agreements were included with two nearby nursing homes. Both Mutual Aid Agreements specified that
the receiving facility could only take 60 residents from an outside source and the number would depend on
current in-house census and both facilities understand that a local in-house emergency, and or emergency
that affected all facilities in the [NAME] Bay Area, would render a variance in available space. The Mutual
Aide Agreements were signed by each facility and the current NHA in February of 2024.
Review of a letter dated 2/16/2024, written to the administrator of the facility and signed by the [NAME] of a
local church (Evacuation Location #1) showed the church was terminating the agreement to be the
evacuation location for the facility effective May 31,2024. The termination was due to the facility not
following agreed upon safety and cleanliness procedures during the past evacuations, and other problems
described in the letter.
An Emergency Management Planning document was provided to the surveyors on 10/24/2024 by the NHA
and described by him as the plan followed for hurricane [NAME]. The document showed the facility was
licensed to house 274 residents including a secure dementia unit of up to 70 residents. The facility is in
hurricane evacuation Zone A (most vulnerable zone and is usually the first to be evacuated), the elevation
was 9 feet 4 inches above sea level and will be evacuated to an offsite location as directed by the Local
County Emergency Management. Review of the document showed Evacuation Location #1 crossed out
and replaced by a different church located in a nearby city (Evacuation Location #2). Evacuation location #2
was dated to be effective 7/1/2024. On multiple pages of the Emergency Management Planning Document
Evacuation Location #1 was still listed. No documentation was provided for the approval of Evacuation
Location #2 by the local Emergency Management Office.

The facility evacuated to Evacuation Location #2, a church in a nearby city on 9/25/2024, an unapproved
location.
Review of a [local] Police Department Incident report dated 9/25/2024 showed they were called at 7:40 pm,
and arrived at 7:42 pm at the Evacuation Location #2. This report is to document the conditions at
[evacuation location #2], during the preparation for tropical storm [NAME]. On 9/25/2024 two officers did an
area check . there were 4 different rooms that people were placed in. Each room was over-packed with cots
half the size of a person pushed together leaving no space for a person to move around or get up in most
areas. Each room was hotter than outside inside the building, leaving many people uncomfortable. The
majority of the people were barely dressed due to the conditions of the room. A lot of people were placed in
adult diapers. There was only 1 fan observed running which was a small ceiling fan in the primary chapel.
The primary chapel had more than 80 people in it, the memory care had more than 50 people in it, and the
two other rooms had more than 30 people in each room. Multiple wheelchairs were left outside with no
cover for the storm to come. Multiple medical and survival supplies were also left outside with no cover for

Review of an e-mail communication from the Deputy Director of Safety and Emergency Services for local
County Government written on 9/26/2024 at 3:00 am to 5 [local] County staff members regarding the
facility's residents at Evacuation Location #2 revealed:
Residents Affected - Many
Good morning, [facility name], is a skilled nursing facility located in zone A and were required to evacuate
250 residents. They evacuated to [Evacuation Location #2] in [city name]. We were advised that the SNF
[skilled nursing facility] had all of the medical support needed for its patients, but the facility lacked a few
resources. We received a request to assist them with a generator at the church and a safety concern was
raised because the church did not have fire suppression, so [local] FD [fire department] responded and put
them on fire watch. More calls came in concerned about the safety of the patients due to a lack of generator
for refrigerated medicine, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) so County Officials, [the local
County EMS Medical Director and the EMS and FIRE Administrator for local County] responded to the
church. Upon arrival and conversations between [Local city] FD, [local county] PD [police department], [the
local County EMS Medical Director] and [the EMS and FIRE Administrator for local County], it was decided
that the facility was not safe for the residents. Initially, it was decided that the patients would be moved to an
Academy due to the nearby location. After multiple conversations with the school district and due to a lack
of a generator at [the academy] was decided that the patients should be moved to [a local middle school]
which is further away but is a special needs shelter and has a generator back up for those patients
dependent on electricity. [County Busses] helped move the 50 patients that could walk and provided
transport for wheelchairs. Multiple trucks with liftgates from [commercial ambulance service] helped
transport equipment and the [commercial ambulance service] and the Fire Departments transported the
rest of the patients to the shelter.
An interview was conducted with the local County EMS Medical Director, 10/31/23024 at 1:30 p.m. He said
concerns about the facility (Evacuation Location #2) came about as follows:
1)
Concerns were raised to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) by a Fire Department officer that had
run a 911 call to the facility and reported concerns about conditions.
2)
A request for assistance was made for power for the refrigerator.
[The local County EMS Medical Director], went with a group to evaluate the situation, and he said that on
09/25/2024 ahead of [NAME]:
1)Medications and computers were being stored outside in a courtyard area.
2) Residents were on cots, shoulder to shoulder and head to foot, there was no access to residents, the
square footage available was woefully short.
3) Security concerns were identified for the memory care residents in a hall room with little to no
safeguards.

Residents Affected - Many
6) Several residents were on Oxygen concentrators and would have posed a significant problem in the
event of power loss.
[The local County EMS Medical Director] stated that a consensus meeting was held between himself, [local
city] Police, and [local city] Fire and they were all on the same page that the facility was inadequate to care
for so many residents. Together the group decided that the most appropriate course of action was to
relocate the residents to a more suitable location.
An interview was conducted with Staff Member Q, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 10/28/2024 at
11:38 a.m. She said she has worked for the facility since 2022. She said the hurricane staffing and patient
care were a big mess. The administration has no idea what they are doing. For hurricane [NAME] it was an
absolute nightmare,
She was scheduled to work 11-7 a.m. and they were told to meet at the church at 11 pm, not even come in
early, crazy. She said, The residents were packed into this church with no linen, you could not walk between
cots. It was so hot even with the portable units, there was no air flow. We were short staffed, there were no
fluid passes, you could not get to the residents, they were covered with towels, there were not enough
linens. There were no assignments, everyone was everywhere, except with residents. Residents were not
provided supplies; you could not get to the supplies. Then we evacuated to the school, even though we
were at the school still there was confusion, no direction given on who to take care of, we were left to
guess, which means no one accepts responsibility. I stayed in the cafeteria from 7am to 7 pm. I did hear
that someone fell in the gym, but I did not see it.
An interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 3:11 p.m. with Resident #15. She said during the hurricane
[NAME] evacuation the residents were taken to a church big enough for 100 people but there were 250
people there. Resident #15 said she didn't do well in tight spaces and was a little claustrophobic. She said,
It was so bad. I called my grandson and told him to get me the [explicative] out of here. Resident #15 said
she was not happy because she was put on a cot and her wheelchair was taken away. She said she was
independent and used the bathroom herself. She said she was left on her cot for hours without being able
to get up. Resident #15 said staff told her to just go in her pants and they wound just change me. Resident
#15 said the evacuations were horrible.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:15 p.m. with the Staff Member II, Occupational Therapist (OT)
who stated there were safety concerns. I tried to give my opinion, but no one wanted to hear me. The
evacuations were Very disorganized. Therapy knew their responsibility of transferring residents on to the
buses and off only. The facility had Charter buses for the evacuations for the first (storm). If residents were
able to sit upright in a wheelchair, we were able to sit them in the bus seat. We had to physically lift the
residents into the bus. To my knowledge the wheelchairs did not go to the evacuation site unless the
resident had to travel in the chair. Those residents were evacuated by wheelchair transporters.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:35 p.m. with Staff Member JJ, Physical Therapist (PT) who
stated the evacuations were confusing regarding transport. He found out no transport had been set up for
return after hurricane [NAME]. The facility was only utilizing the buses they owned for

transport, this took forever. Resident #23 received a skin tear during one of the transfers. A nurse came to
evaluate the wound right away, but they were not able to find a first aid kit for supplies to cover the skin tear.
Thirty minutes went by, and someone finally drove over with supplies, to cover the skin tear.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:47 p.m. with Staff Member KK, CNA who stated regarding the
evacuations, No one knew what was up with any of the evacuations, chaos. I'm sure that is why I don't
remember anything specific except chaos.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/2024 at 4:37 p.m. with former Staff Member M, CNA. She said, The
evacuation for [NAME] to the church was unorganized, the Therapy department completed the transferring
charter.
At the church everyone was being put on a cot, no elevated head, just a sheet, maybe a pillow I don't think
enough for everyone. There was not enough room for everyone, you could hardly squeeze between cots,
residents were outside in the rain as there was no room in the church. Families started to come there
complaining, I don't remember who. The bathroom hallway had cots as there was no room. No one was told
anything, we did not know who we were to care for, except follow normal schedules, be at work at 7 a.m. at
the nursing home, then we went to the church at 3:30 p.m. It started to get dark; it started raining. I'm not
sure if everyone got to eat, there was no organization, everyone received the same diet, we were not sure
who was who, it was a total mess. We could not pass fluids because we couldn't get to residents, we had to
walk sideways between cots. They stuck some residents in a closet, at least they left the doors open for
them, but it was hot, even with the spot cooler. There were residents who had been bed bound for years
and now they were on these cots with only a sheet. I was instructed to go assist alert residents. All the
officials came, and we had to move again, at least that evacuation had organization somewhat. You could
tell the officials were frustrated. When we got to the school (Evacuation Location #3) the meals were the
same, no one had their diets indicated but it was better than the church as the school was giving out meals.
Then they told us not to give the school meals, we were only supposed to use our supply. Well, who knew
where that was? The only fluids were given with a meal, if you received meal. I don't think they had a way to
know who got what or if everyone got to eat. I didn't see anyone helping anyone eat. I was assigned the
alert residents, so they only needed to be served. There were no assignments [NAME] except B wing (the
memory care wing) was in gym, but I am not sure who was in the gym with them. I saw a Resident outside
on the sidewalk exiting to the street. I brought her back in, I am not sure who it was, but she got out.
Review of EOC evacuation orders for hurricane [NAME] showed, October 6, 2024, Attn: Facility

If you are included in the evacuation level A, B or C you should complete your evacuation and be in your
safe location by Tuesday 8pm. The (local) County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be calling to
ensure that you are evacuating as planned and as called for in the Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (CEMP) for your facility.
If you are not included in the evacuation level, but choose to evacuate anyway, please ensure that you
inform the Emergency Operations Center of your plans and sheltering location.
We will continue to monitor the system. Please monitor your emails for any further protective measures.

An interview was conducted by phone with the Director of the Department of Health in (local) County on
10/31/23024 at 4:00 p.m. He stated that requests for assistance in finding a place to evacuate to were
being made by the facility as [NAME] was approaching. The facility ultimately evacuated to the church in
(local city), Evacuation Location #2. He said the EOC received a Fire Officers concerns about conditions
following a 911 call they responded to (at Evacuation Location #2). He said an additional request for
assistance with powering refrigeration equipment at the location was received. He said the EOC dispatched
the Medical Director for the (local) County EMS, (local) Police, and (local) Fire Departments to assess and
evaluate conditions at (Evacuation location #2). He said the EOC received a report that available square
footage was inadequate for the number of residents present, creating security concerns for the police, and
egress concerns due to crowding for the fire representative. The (local) County allowed them to relocate to
a Middle School, (Evacuation Location #3) where they were operating a special needs shelter. The Director
of the Department of Health in (local) County noted that while actions were taken because of need, (local)
County evacuee numbers were expected to be in the thousands (for Hurricane [NAME]) and their system is
not designed to support long term care facility residents. The Director of the Department of Health in (local)
County acknowledged that it was a short turnaround between [NAME] and when the evacuation for [NAME]
was ordered. The facility did request the use of the special needs shelter again. The (local county) was
expecting large numbers of evacuees, has multiple long term care facilities, and planning for evacuations is
the responsibility of the facility. The Director of the Department of Health in (local) County said that, while
unfortunate, it does not change the responsibility of the facility to develop arrangements with other
[facilities] [and] other providers to receive patients in the event of limitations or cessation of operations to
maintain the continuity of services to facility patients.
Review of an e-mail communication from the County Emergency Operations Center written on 10/06/2024
at 7:54 pm to 5 (local) County staff members regarding the facility revealed:
As The Director of [the] Department of Health in (local) County knows, [name] the NHA of this building had
a [Emergency Plan] approved with receiving facility that unfortunately failed meaning the receiving facilities
backed out thus they did not have placement for this larger facility.
The plan in motion is 23 residents with higher acuity to [Local Nursing Home] and the rest to go with the
Administrator, Director of Nurses (DON) and staff to (Evacuation Location #4) that is 10 K SQT, high and
not in an evac zone, has a kitchen, etc. The facility would bring a generator, 12 portable AC units and 4 wet
vacs in case needed in addition to food, fluids, medications, treatments,

We did have a conversation with [name] the Administrator explaining that the CEOC [(local) County
Emergency Operations Center] cannot review or approve a new or temporary plan at this point other than
verbally as done. In doing so we explained that it is his decision what is best for the residents and staff of

An interview was conducted with the Emergency Management Healthcare Plan Compliance Specialist with
the (local) County Emergency Management office on 10/31/2024 at 10:30 a.m. She stated that the facility
did not submit an alternative location for approval prior to the hurricanes. The facility did not ask for
approval for either Evacuation Location #2 or Evacuation Location #4. She reviewed the location
information for Evacuation Location #4 and said that it would not be approved as an evacuation site
because it is in Flood Zone D. She said only facilities in no flood zone areas can be used as evacuation
locations.
Review of the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Policy and Procedure, dated 2024
revealed the following:
PURPOSE, To ensure that (the Facility) implements a comprehensive QAPI program which addresses all
the care and unique services that the facility provides.

Establish a governing body that is legally responsible for establishing and implementing policies for
managing and operating the facility and appoints a properly licensed administrator responsible for
managing the facility.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to maintain a Governing Body that was aware of the facility
emergency plans. The Governing body was not aware the facility did not update their emergency plan as
changes occurred. The facility failed to address the needs of their patient population during an emergency
and failed to provide for continuity of operations during a natural disaster, a hurricane.
The facility maintained an evacuation agreement with a local church that began in 2018. In February 2024
the church informed the facility that the agreement was to be terminated effective May 31, 2024. No
alternative evacuation location was arranged. In September of 2024 when evacuation was ordered for
hurricane [NAME] the facility staff moved 226 residents to a local church. Family members of the residents
called the police and emergency medical services to report conditions. Local Police, Fire and Emergency
officials assessed the location and deemed it unsafe. The residents were on small cots placed right next to
each, staff did not have enough room to care for the residents, the resident care was not organized,
supplies were not available, there was not enough room for every resident to be indoors, important supplies
were housed outside with rain predicted and the residents were not safe in terms of fire exits and
supervision. The local authorities moved all the residents to a county shelter the night before hurricane
[NAME].
The conditions during hurricane [NAME] led to the injury of 2 residents (#12, #22) known to have suffered
harm, including a fracture for one resident as a result of lack of supplies and lack of supervision during that
evacuation that lasted from 9/25/2024 to 9/28/2024.
Before hurricane [NAME] the facility Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) began calling Local County
Emergency Operation Center (CEOC), and State officials asking for an evacuation location or to be allowed
to not evacuate. Again, the facility did not have a plan for the safety and care of its residents. A volunteer at
the CEOC working with the Emergency Operations leadership assisted the NHA by determining that the
most acutely ill residents could be moved to a local Nursing Home. The NHA moved all the remaining 217
residents to a church in a nearby county. The CEOC acknowledged awareness of his plan and said they
were unable to approve evacuation plans at the last minute. Upon review after the storm, the County
Emergency Management did not approve of this location due to it being in an evacuation zone and
unsuitable if evacuations were ordered for a hurricane. The facility remains without a safe evacuation
location.
These failures created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition for two residents (#12, #22) and the
likelihood for serious injury and or death to all facility Residents and resulted in the determination of
Immediate Jeopardy on 09/24/2024. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy are ongoing and have not been
removed, the severity and scope remains an L as there has been no verification of removal of immediacy of
harm.
Findings included:
Review of the Facility assessment dated [DATE] and signed by the NHA, DON, Governing Body
Representative, Medical Director and Infection Control Prevention Officer revealed, on page 24, Section IV
Facility and Community-Based Risk Assessment, B. Emergency Management, Please note: In lieu of
completing this section, your facility can include a copy of its required Emergency Preparedness Plan. 1.

Residents Affected - Many
Review of the approved facility disaster plan dated February 2024, provided by the local Emergency
Management office included a Sheltering License Agreement effective June 1, 2018, with the [NAME] of a
local church (Evacuation Location #1). The church agreed to make certain areas available to the Nursing
Home in the event of a hurricane evacuation order. A Shelter Agreement Clarification page was included
that showed the Church (Evacuation Location #1) would be able to accommodate 379 Residents from the
facility for the year 2023, signed by the NHA at the time and the [NAME] of the church on 5/3/2023. Mutual
Aid Agreements were included with two nearby nursing homes. Both Mutual Aid Agreements specified that
the receiving facility could only take 60 residents from an outside source and the number would depend on
current in-house census and both facilities understand that a local in-house emergency, and or emergency
that affected all facilities in the [NAME] Bay Area, would render a variance in available space. The Mutual
Aide Agreements were signed by each facility and the current NHA in February of 2024.
Review of a letter dated 2/16/2024, written to the administrator of the facility and signed by the [NAME] of a
local church (Evacuation Location #1) showed the church was terminating the agreement to be the
evacuation location for the facility effective May 31,2024. The termination was due to the facility not
following agreed upon safety and cleanliness procedures during the past evacuations, and other problems
described in the letter.
An interview was conducted with a member of the Governing Body on 11/6/2024 at 1:55 p.m. She said she
has been working for Aventura for 2 years and on the Governing Body of Aventura for a year and ½.
She said that the Administrator reports regularly to the Governing Body through regularly scheduled
meetings, emails, and impromptu meetings. She said there is a constant flow of information. She said that
problems are communicated with the Governing Body, resource needs, system breakdowns. She said that
the Governing Body responds to the Administrator with phone calls, Zoom calls, in person visits and
sometimes QAPI programs are started. She said that the Administrator is held accountable by reports that
are sent, Risk management meetings weekly, and the Administration is supervised through the Electronic
medical record. She said she was not aware until recently that the facility did not have an approved
Evacuation Location.
An Emergency Management Planning document was provided to the surveyors on 10/24/2024 by the NHA
and described by him as the plan followed for hurricane [NAME]. The document showed the facility was
licensed to house 274 residents including a secure dementia unit of up to 70 residents. The facility is in
hurricane evacuation Zone A (most vulnerable zone and is usually the first to be evacuated), the elevation
was 9 feet 4 inches above sea level and will be evacuated to an offsite location as directed by the Local
County Emergency Management. Review of the document showed Evacuation Location #1

County Government written on 9/26/2024 at 3:00 am to 5 [local] County staff members regarding the
facility's residents at Evacuation Location #2 revealed:
Good morning, [facility name], is a skilled nursing facility located in zone A and were required to evacuate
250 residents. They evacuated to [Evacuation Location #2] in [city name]. We were advised that the SNF
[skilled nursing facility] had all of the medical support needed for its patients, but the facility lacked a few
resources. We received a request to assist them with a generator at the church and a safety concern was
raised because the church did not have fire suppression, so [local] FD [fire department] responded and put
them on fire watch. More calls came in concerned about the safety of the patients due to a lack of generator
for refrigerated medicine, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) so County Officials, [the local
County EMS Medical Director and the EMS and FIRE Administrator for local County] responded to the
church. Upon arrival and conversations between [Local city] FD, [local county] PD [police department], [the
local County EMS Medical Director] and [the EMS and FIRE Administrator for local County], it was decided
that the facility was not safe for the residents. Initially, it was decided that the patients would be moved to an
Academy due to the nearby location. After multiple conversations with the school district and due to a lack
of a generator at [the academy] was decided that the patients should be moved to [a local middle school]
which is further away but is a special needs shelter and has a generator back up for those patients
dependent on electricity. [County Busses] helped move the 50 patients that could walk and provided
transport for wheelchairs. Multiple trucks with liftgates from [commercial ambulance service] helped
transport equipment and the [commercial ambulance service] and the Fire Departments transported the
rest of the patients to the shelter.
An interview was conducted with the local County EMS Medical Director, 10/31/23024 at 1:30 p.m. He said
concerns about the facility (Evacuation Location #2) came about as follows:
1)
Concerns were raised to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) by a Fire Department officer that had
run a 911 call to the facility and reported concerns about conditions.
2)
A request for assistance was made for power for the refrigerator.
[The local County EMS Medical Director], went with a group to evaluate the situation, and he said that on

square footage available was woefully short.
Level of Harm - Immediate

3) Security concerns were identified for the memory care residents in a hall room with little to no
safeguards.
Residents Affected - Many
4) Means of egress was not clear of all obstructions.
5) They had a handful of portable generators that looked like they were picked up at (a home improvement
store) that day.
6) Several residents were on Oxygen concentrators and would have posed a significant problem in the
event of power loss.
[The local County EMS Medical Director] stated that a consensus meeting was held between himself, [local
city] Police, and [local city] Fire and they were all on the same page that the facility was inadequate to care
for so many residents. Together the group decided that the most appropriate course of action was to
relocate the residents to a more suitable location.
An interview was conducted with Staff Member Q, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 10/28/2024 at
11:38 a.m. She said she has worked for the facility since 2022. She said the hurricane staffing and patient
care were a big mess. The administration has no idea what they are doing. For hurricane [NAME] it was an
absolute nightmare,
She was scheduled to work 11-7 a.m. and they were told to meet at the church at 11 pm, not even come in
early, crazy. She said, The residents were packed into this church with no linen, you could not walk between
cots. It was so hot even with the portable units, there was no air flow. We were short staffed, there were no
fluid passes, you could not get to the residents, they were covered with towels, there were not enough
linens. There were no assignments, everyone was everywhere, except with residents. Residents were not
provided supplies; you could not get to the supplies. Then we evacuated to the school, even though we
were at the school still there was confusion, no direction given on who to take care of, we were left to
guess, which means no one accepts responsibility. I stayed in the cafeteria from 7am to 7 pm. I did hear
that someone fell in the gym, but I did not see it.
An interview was conducted on 10/21/24 at 3:11 p.m. with Resident #15. She said during the hurricane
[NAME] evacuation the residents were taken to a church big enough for 100 people but there were 250
people there. Resident #15 said she didn't do well in tight spaces and was a little claustrophobic. She said,
It was so bad. I called my grandson and told him to get me the [explicative] out of here. Resident #15 said
she was not happy because she was put on a cot and her wheelchair was taken away. She said she was
independent and used the bathroom herself. She said she was left on her cot for hours without being able
to get up. Resident #15 said staff told her to just go in her pants and they wound just change me. Resident
#15 said the evacuations were horrible.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:15 p.m. with the Staff Member II, Occupational Therapist (OT)
who stated there were safety concerns. I tried to give my opinion, but no one wanted to hear me. The
evacuations were Very disorganized. Therapy knew their responsibility of transferring residents on to the
buses and off only. The facility had Charter buses for the evacuations for the first (storm). If residents were
able to sit upright in a wheelchair, we were able to sit them in the bus seat. We had to physically lift the
residents into the bus. To my knowledge the wheelchairs did not

go to the evacuation site unless the resident had to travel in the chair. Those residents were evacuated by
wheelchair transporters.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:35 p.m. with Staff Member JJ, Physical Therapist (PT) who
stated the evacuations were confusing regarding transport. He found out no transport had been set up for
return after hurricane [NAME]. The facility was only utilizing the buses they owned for transport, this took
forever. Resident #23 received a skin tear during one of the transfers. A nurse came to evaluate the wound
right away, but they were not able to find a first aid kit for supplies to cover the skin tear. Thirty minutes went
by, and someone finally drove over with supplies, to cover the skin tear.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:47 p.m. with Staff Member KK, CNA who stated regarding the
evacuations, No one knew what was up with any of the evacuations, chaos. I'm sure that is why I don't
remember anything specific except chaos.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/2024 at 4:37 p.m. with former Staff Member M, CNA. She said, The
evacuation for [NAME] to the church was unorganized, the Therapy department completed the transferring
charter.
At the church everyone was being put on a cot, no elevated head, just a sheet, maybe a pillow I don't think
enough for everyone. There was not enough room for everyone, you could hardly squeeze between cots,
residents were outside in the rain as there was no room in the church. Families started to come there
complaining, I don't remember who. The bathroom hallway had cots as there was no room. No one was told
anything, we did not know who we were to care for, except follow normal schedules, be at work at 7 a.m. at
the nursing home, then we went to the church at 3:30 p.m. It started to get dark; it started raining. I'm not
sure if everyone got to eat, there was no organization, everyone received the same diet, we were not sure
who was who, it was a total mess. We could not pass fluids because we couldn't get to residents, we had to
walk sideways between cots. They stuck some residents in a closet, at least they left the doors open for
them, but it was hot, even with the spot cooler. There were residents who had been bed bound for years
and now they were on these cots with only a sheet. I was instructed to go assist alert residents. All the
officials came, and we had to move again, at least that evacuation had organization somewhat. You could
tell the officials were frustrated. When we got to the school (Evacuation Location #3) the meals were the
same, no one had their diets indicated but it was better than the church as the school was giving out meals.
Then they told us not to give the school meals, we were only supposed to use our supply. Well, who knew
where that was? The only fluids were given with a meal, if you received meal. I don't think they had a way to
know who got what or if everyone got to eat. I didn't see anyone helping anyone eat. I was assigned the
alert residents, so they only needed to be served. There were no assignments [NAME] except B wing (the
memory care wing) was in gym, but I am not sure who was in the gym with them. I saw a Resident outside
on the sidewalk exiting to the street. I brought her back in, I am not sure who it was, but she got out.
Review of CEOC evacuation orders for hurricane [NAME] showed, October 6, 2024, Attn: Facility

coastal areas of (local) County on Wednesday (10/09).Heavy rain of 5 to 8 inches, with isolated higher
amounts of up to 12 inches is forecast through Thursday (10/10).Tropical storm force winds are forecast to
start in the early morning hours of Wednesday (10/09)and continue through late Wednesday night (10/09).
The wind field is expected to expand. There is the potential for some tornadoes and /or waterspouts on
Thursday (10/10).
If you are included in the evacuation level A, B or C you should complete your evacuation and be in your
safe location by Tuesday 8pm. The (local) County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will be calling to
ensure that you are evacuating as planned and as called for in the Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (CEMP) for your facility.
If you are not included in the evacuation level, but choose to evacuate anyway, please ensure that you
inform the Emergency Operations Center of your plans and sheltering location.
We will continue to monitor the system. Please monitor your emails for any further protective measures.
The contact information for the (local) County Emergency Operations Center is:

An interview was conducted by phone with the Director of the Department of Health in (local) County on
10/31/23024 at 4:00 p.m. He stated that requests for assistance in finding a place to evacuate to were
being made by the facility as [NAME] was approaching. The facility ultimately evacuated to the church in
(local city), Evacuation Location #2. He said the EOC received a Fire Officers concerns about conditions
following a 911 call they responded to (at Evacuation Location #2). He said an additional request for
assistance with powering refrigeration equipment at the location was received. He said the EOC dispatched
the Medical Director for the (local) County EMS, (local) Police, and (local) Fire Departments to assess and
evaluate conditions at (Evacuation location #2). He said the EOC received a report that available square
footage was inadequate for the number of residents present, creating security concerns for the police, and
egress concerns due to crowding for the fire representative. The (local) County allowed them to relocate to
a Middle School, (Evacuation Location #3) where they were operating a special needs shelter. The Director
of the Department of Health in (local) County noted that while actions were taken because of need, (local)
County evacuee numbers were expected to be in the thousands (for Hurricane [NAME]) and their system is
not designed to support long term care facility residents. The Director of the Department of Health in (local)
County acknowledged that it was a short turnaround between [NAME] and when the evacuation for [NAME]
was ordered. The facility did request the use of the special needs shelter again. The (local county) was
expecting large numbers of evacuees, has multiple long term care facilities, and planning for evacuations is
the responsibility of the facility. The Director of the Department of Health in (local) County said that, while
unfortunate, it does not change the responsibility of the facility to develop arrangements with other
[facilities] [and] other providers to receive patients in the event of limitations or cessation of operations to
maintain the continuity of services to facility patients.
Review of an e-mail communication from the County Emergency Operations Center written on 10/06/2024

We did have a conversation with [name] the Administrator explaining that the CEOC [(local) County
Emergency Operations Center] cannot review or approve a new or temporary plan at this point other than
verbally as done. In doing so we explained that it is his decision what is best for the residents and staff of
his facility and that the CEOC acknowledges this new plan, but it is not approved. [NHA] did verbalize his
understanding. Signed by a volunteer at the (CEOC).
An interview was conducted with the Emergency Management Healthcare Plan Compliance Specialist with
the (local) County Emergency Management office on 10/31/2024 at 10:30 a.m. She stated that the facility
did not submit an alternative location for approval prior to the hurricanes. The facility did not ask for
approval for either Evacuation Location #2 or Evacuation Location #4. She reviewed the location
information for Evacuation Location #4 and said that it would not be approved as an evacuation site
because it is in Flood Zone D. She said only facilities in no flood zone areas can be used as evacuation
locations.

An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 11:50 a.m. with Staff V, CNA. Staff V stated, During the
evacuation things happened. Yes, there was a fall. I was in the gym where [Resident #12] was assigned.
The management did not leave out assignments for CNAs, so I am not sure who was responsible for
[Resident #12]. Staff V said, I was in a doorway and heard a loud thud. I turned and noted [Resident #12]
on the floor, it looked bad, no one was near. Staff V stated there was no walker and most of the residents
came without their walkers or wheelchairs, etc. She said those items were not brought with them for the
evacuation. Staff V, said the DON did finally come over to Resident #12, after another nurse had already
been providing care. Staff V stated, The DON was not in the gym when Resident #12 fell. Staff V stated she
did not remember who else was in the gym.
An interview was conducted on 10/24/24 at 2:08 p.m. with Staff AA, Registered Nurse (RN). Staff AA

clothes lying around and said, No that should not be like that. She confirmed used gloves should never be
left on the floor and PPE carts should not have anything set on top. She said if a resident puts something
on the cart, it should be discarded. She said for a resident on contact precautions anyone that entered a
room should have put a gown and gloves on and removed them before exiting the room. She said for an
enhanced barrier precaution room anyone doing contact care with the resident should have put on a gown
and gloves. She stated that gloves should not be worn in the hallway, gloves should be removed and HH

-Providing hygiene
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
-Changing linens
-Changing briefs or assisting with toileting
Residents Affected - Some
-Device care or use: central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator
-Wound care: any skin opening requiring a dressing
Note: EBP should be followed when performing transfers or assisting during bathing in a shared/common
shower room and when working with residents in the therapy gym, specifically when anticipating close
physical contact while assisting with transfers and mobility.
When to Use EBP:
EBPs are indicated for residents with any of the following, regardless of where they reside in the facility:
-Infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted MDRO when contact precautions do not otherwise apply.
-Wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized
with a MDRO.
-Wounds include chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds,
and venous stasis ulcers. Shorter-lasting wounds, such as skin breaks or skin tears covered with an
adhesive bandage or similar dressing, do not require EBP.
Indwelling medical device examples include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and
tracheostomies. A peripheral intravenous line (not a peripherally inserted central catheter) is not considered
an indwelling medical device for EBP.
Facilities are not required to use EBP for residents who do not have a chronic wound or indwelling medical
device and are infected or colonized with an MDRO that is not currently targeted by the CDC.
