Resident #121 had padded side rails, and failure to investigate an accident reported on Resident #85.The
findings included:1) Record review revealed Resident #111 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review
of the annual assessment dated [DATE] documented Resident #111 required substantial assistance with
going from sitting to lying position, going from lying to sitting and transferring from bed to chair. Review of

elevated, with facial grimacing. His knees were bent inward towards his body, and he was holding on to the
right-side rail with his right hand. The resident was asked if he was in pain. He pointed at his legs and said
yes, both of my legs. When asked are you able to straighten out your legs he attempted to unbend his leg
but couldn't. When asked do you get out of bed, Resident #111 stated Sometimes.
During an observation on 01/05/26 at 11:00AM, Staff B, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) entered the
resident's room and brought in a sit-to-stand mechanical lift, left it and returned shortly, informed the
resident that she was going to get him out of bed and proceeded to get him dressed. She brought the
mechanical lift closer to the bed and assisted the resident to a sitting position on the side of the bed. She
grabbed his hands to place them on the bar of the lift and as he was having a difficult time sitting up, she
stated You have to sit up. The resident started to lean backward, and his hands were letting go of the bar.
She stated, You have to help me; you have to sit up. I need to get help. She left the room while the resident
was sitting on the side of the bed and as he was trying to hold on to the bar the mechanical lift began to
move because it was not locked. Staff B, CNA and Staff C, CNA entered the room, Staff B sat the resident
up straight and they put a green sling around his back and attached it to the mechanical lift. Resident #111
began to lean to the left and fall backward, Staff B, CNA pushed him back up to a sitting position and said
what's going on you have to sit up. Staff C, CNA lifted the lift slightly and told the resident, you have to
stand up. The resident stated I can't. Staff C, CNA attempted to straighten his legs, but the resident was
unable to. Resident #111 noted to have facial grimacing and stated, I can't do it. Staff C, CNA stated We
can't use this lift with him maybe the hoyer lift. He used to be able to do this. Staff C let the lift down and the
resident was placed in a sitting position on the side of the bed. Staff B and Staff C, CNA unattached the
sling from the lift and the resident fell backwards on the bed with the sling underneath him. They
repositioned the resident in the bed and removed the sling from underneath him and

A progress note dated Tuesday 10/07/25 at 3:06 PM written by the direct care nurse, documented the
daughter of Resident #85 told the nurse that while being transferred on Sunday (10/05/25), the resident hit
her left leg and was now complaining of pain. This note documented the physician was notified and an
order for an x-ray of the left leg was received.
Further review of the record revealed the order for the left leg x-ray was entered into the electronic medical
record (EMR) on 10/07/25 at 7:15 PM by the Evening Supervisor. Review of this x-ray revealed Resident
#85 had acute nondisplaced fractures of the proximal tibia and fibula.
During an interview on 01/08/26 at 1:52 PM, when asked about the fracture sustained by Resident #85, the
Director of Nursing (DON) explained that she spoke with the daughter after the identification of the fracture,
and she confirmed her mother did not sustain a fall and reported that her mother felt the pain when her legs
were placed on the air mattress. The DON stated they had determined the fractures were pathological in
nature due to the presence of osteopenia. During a side-by-side review of the record, when shown the
progress note that documented the daughter had reported to the direct care nurse that her mother had pain
after a transfer, the DON stated she was not aware of that note or event, that the direct care nurse should
have reported that event, and that there should have been an incident report.
During an interview on 01/08/26 at 3:15 PM when asked if she was told the daughter of Resident #85
reported on 10/07/25 that the resident had pain after a transfer on 10/05/25, the Second Floor Unit
Manager stated she had not been notified. When asked if they should have completed an incident report to
look into the transfer, the Unit Manager stated she thought so, but that it may not have been done as there
was no fall or injury at that time. When asked if an incident report had been completed for Resident #85
around or after the time of the event, the Unit Manager looked in the EMR and stated there was none.
During an interview on 01/08/26 at 3:40 PM, when asked if she was informed the daughter of Resident #85
reported on 10/07/25 pain after staff transferred her mother the previous Sunday, the Evening Supervisor
stated she did not. When asked if she would expect to be told and or expect the direct care nurse to do an
incident report the Evening Supervisor stated she would. Upon review of the record, the Evening
Supervisor noted she herself had entered the x-ray for Resident #85 into the EMR. The Evening Supervisor
stated she only recalled a concern with the resident's feet being swollen and she ended up in the hospital.
During an interview on 01/08/26 at 4:13 PM, when asked if a family member tells a nurse her mother hit her
legs while being transferred and was now in pain, would you expect an incident report be completed, the
Risk Manager stated, Of course. The Risk Manager agreed the incident with the transfer should have been
investigated. The Risk Manager stated she would have investigated had she known. The Risk Manager
stated she recalled asking staff if Resident #85 fell or something, and the staff stated she hadn't hurt
herself. The Risk Manager stated she was unaware of the progress note for Resident #85 dated 10/07/25 or
she would have completed an incident report and investigation herself.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and interviews, the facility failed to provide care and services to prevent electrolyte imbalance
as evidenced by ensuring Resident #14 had adequate hydration, for 1 of 1 sampled resident reviewed for
hydration. The findings included: Record review revealed Resident #14 was readmitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Review of medical diagnosis revealed Resident #14 had a history of dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing) following cerebral infarction (stroke), gastrostomy (feeding tube), dementia (memory loss).
Review of the care plan dated 11/29/25 documented a focus that Resident #14 required tube feeding
related to dysphagia with a goal that she will remain free of side effects or complications related to tube
feeding with the interventions that Resident #14 is dependent on staff for tube feeding and water flushes. A
second focus documented Resident #14 was at risk for dehydration or potential fluid deficit related to the
resident readmitted with feeding tube with a goal that the resident will be free of symptoms of dehydration.
During an observation on 01/06/26 at 9:10AM, Resident #14 noted lying in bed on her right side with her
head elevated. There was a pole with a feeding pump attached, which had a bottle of light brown formula
that had approximately 260 ml (milliliters) remaining with a label dated 01/05/26 at 2:00 PM and a clear bag
with clear liquid with approximately 1200 ml in it, with a label dated 01/05/26 at 2:00 PM, hanging on the
pole. The tubing connected to both were connected to the resident. The settings on the pump read the
feeding was at a continuous rate of 50 ml per hour and the total feed infused was 809 ml. During an
interview on 01/06/26 at 9:20 AM, Staff A, Registered Nurse (RN) was called into Resident #14's room and
was asked what is the flush setting. Staff A pushed the show flush button on the pump, and the setting was
noted to be at 15 ml every hour. She stated, it says 15 ml an hour, but it should be 150 ml every shift. At
that time, Staff A, RN reset the pump to 150 ml every 8hours with next flush to be administered in 448
mins.Review of a physician order dated 12/08/25, stated the staff was instructed to provide 150 ml water
every 8 hours via pump.During an interview on 01/06/26 at 9:32 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) was
made aware that the settings on the feeding pump were not set properly and there was concern that the
resident had not received any flush. At that time, she called the Dietitian to come to the third floor. The
Dietician arrived and the DON told her that there was an issue with Resident #14's flush settings. The
Dietitian, DON and surveyor went to the resident's room and Staff A, RN went into the room as well. The
bag of the liquid in the clear bag was still hanging with approximately 1200 mls in it. The DON stated this is
a newer pump and she was not sure how to see the history. The Surveyor pressed on the menu and chose
view history. The history was reviewed by the surveyor, Dietitian, DON, and Staff A, RN, and it was noted
that, according to the pump, 0 flush was received by the resident for the past 3 days. The DON stated she
will get an order for STAT labs to make sure the resident is not dehydrated. Review of January's Medication
Administration Record (MAR) for Resident #14 revealed staff signed acknowledging that 150 ml of water
was administered via pump every shift.Review of a physician order dated 01/06/26 revealed blood work
was ordered (STAT CBC CMP) for Resident #14.Review of the CBC CMP lab results dated 01/06/25
revealed Resident #14 had an electrolyte imbalance and elevated liver enzymes. Lab results from
01/06/2026 were: Sodium 155 (137-145); Potassium 3.3 (3.5-5.1); Chloride 118 (98-107); BUN 38
(9.0-20.0); BUN/Creat 57 (10-20); ALT 168 (<=150); and AST 119 (17-59). During an interview on 01/07/26
at 8:27AM, Staff A, RN stated she made sure the flush is still set correctly on Resident #14 pump.During an
observation on 01/07/26 at 8:35 AM, it was noted that 480 ml of flush had been infused since 01/06/26.
Review of physician orders dated 01/07/25 instructed staff to administer Resident #14 bolus 250 ml of
