This past noncompliance occurred from October 27, 2025, through October 29, 2025.This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for accidents in the sample of 6.The findings include: R1's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with multiple diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, spastic hemiplegia affecting the right dominant side. Paraplegia, fracture of both the right and left femurs with surgical repair, diabetes mellitus, dementia, and left tibia fracture added October 27, 2025. R1's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated November 26, 2025, showed R1 was cognitively intact and required assistance with ADLs including set up assistance with eating, partial assistance with oral hygiene, substantial assistance with upper body dressing and dependent on staff for lower body dressing, toileting, bathing, bed mobility and transfer.

V5 stated staff informed her that the staff was unable to find the second footrest for R1's wheelchair, and proceeded to transport R1 without the footrest, resulting in the fracture.R1's Xray result dated October 27, 2025, showed R1 sustained an acute nondisplaced fracture of the proximal left tibia.Prior to the survey entrance date of December 12, 2025, the facility had taken the following action to address the noncompliance.1.
