(R4) walked over and tap, tap, tapped (R7) on the head. (R7) turned around and grabbed (R4's) hands. They had their hands locked. I ran over and unlocked their hands and separated them. I called (V1, Administrator) and had (R4) sent out to the hospital. She came back a couple hours later and was put on 1:1 observation. When I work back there, I try to keep the medication cart in the center of the hallway so I can keep an eye on both ends of the hallway.Facility's initial investigation, dated 10/21/2025, documents on 10/21/2025 at approximately 1:30AM, it was reported to the administrator that R4 acted in an inappropriate manner to R7.

(R4) had her hands on (R7's) chest pressing down on her chest. I immediately ran over to (R7) and laid my body over (R7) while removing (R4's) hands from (R7). I led (R4) out of the room and told the nurse what happened. (R7) said, 'I'm scared, I 'm scared.' I told her she was safe, and I would stand outside her door. I think (R4) was sent out and then was put on 1:1 observation again.3.R9‘s face sheet documents an admission date of 6/27/2025.

Until we get her Power of Attorney (POA) situation straightened out we are at a standstill. Her husband is her POA, and he is divorcing her. He even blocked our calls. We are trying to get (R4's) POA changed to her daughter. The only answer until we can find (R4) new placement is to be on continuous one on one observations. I would expect progressive interventions to be updated and in the care plan. I expect the interventions to keep (R4) and the other residents safe. On 10/31/2025 at 11:15AM, V17, Nurse Practitioner, NP, stated, When I see (R4), she is usually pleasant or sleeping. I think some of her behaviors happen at night.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few concern for an acute fracture following the recent trauma. ED course: this patient sustained a traumatic injury resulting in pain, swelling and bruising localized to the distal third of the right (should be left) leg. This injury requires evaluation by orthopedics and may involve multiple management options depending on the final diagnosis and recommendations. The presence of swelling and bruising, along with the need for a specialist consultation, increases the complexity of the problem addressed beyond a simple, uncomplicated injury.R5's Health Status Note, dated 10/22/2025 at 7:38 AM, documents, Resident was sent to hospital to be eval. Resident has an appointment with ortho (orthopedics). Resident is a (mechanical lift) for all transfers at this time.On 10/29/2025 at 10:45 AM, V7, CNA (Certified Nurse Aide), and V8, CNA, entered R5's room to transfer her from recliner to bed. V7 and V8 used a mechanical lift to transfer R5 at that time. On 10/29/2025 at 11:50 AM, R5 sat in her recliner in her room. R5 was alert and stated when she injured her left foot, it was a freak accident because 1 staff member, V11 who is a CNA, transferred her from bed to wheelchair and her left foot got stuck behind the wheelchair wheel and started hurting immediately. R5 stated she doesn't want to get anyone in trouble, but V11 told her (R5) she knows she's supposed to be a 2 person transfer, but they were short staffed that morning and she had to get her up. R5 recalled she fell in the middle of the transfer back onto her bed and that was when her left foot got stuck in the wheelchair wheel. R5 stated V11 then got her to her wheelchair and left her in her room. R5 stated it wasn't until therapy staff (name unknown) came to get her for therapy that staff assessed her left ankle and stated it was bruised and swollen and she was transferred to the hospital shortly after. R5 stated she had a few fractures in her left leg in the past, and she hoped she didn't fracture it again. R5 stated she has to wear a boot for a while to keep her left foot/ankle from moving. R5 stated she wished V11 would have tried to find additional staff to transfer her because she isn't stable enough to be transferred by 1 staff, and that's why she fell and hurt her ankle. R5 had a boot on her left foot from her toes to her knee. On 10/29/2025 at 11:20 AM, V7, CNA, stated she wasn't working 10/21/2025, but she is usually assigned to 200 hall on day shift and she knows the residents well. V7 stated R5 was a 2 person assist with transfers until she recently had an incident and now, she is now a mechanical lift. V7 stated she always transferred R5 with a 2 person assist with a gait belt because she has Parkinson's is unstable at times, that's why she is a 2 person assist with transfers. V7 stated staff including CNAs find how residents transfer by reading the resident's care plan which they have access to. V7 stated she never transferred V5 without 2 staff and a gait belt, and she wouldn't ever do that because R5 is too unstable to transfer and she definitely doesn't want any residents, including R5, to be injured. On 10/29/2025 at 1:28 PM, V18, RN, stated she worked day shift on 10/21/2025 and was assigned to R5. V18 stated she is an agency nurse and recalled a therapy staff (name unknown) reported to her sometime that morning that R5's left ankle/lower leg was swollen, red, and bruised and she wanted a nurse to assess the area prior to R5 receiving therapy. V18 stated she went to R5's room and observed V17, NP, was in the room and assessed R5's left ankle/lower leg was bruised, red, and swollen, and she heard R5 tell V17 that she was transferred with 1 staff and it was supposed to be 2 and her left foot got caught in her wheelchair wheel and she knew it was hurt. V18 stated R5 cried when V17 let her know she was transferring her to the emergency room for x rays because she was recently at the hospital for unrelated medical issue. On 10/29/2025 at 2:05 PM, V21, Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN stated she worked day shift on 10/21/2025 but wasn't assigned to R5.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Administrator, and she told her the resident's transfer status is documented on the resident's care plan and Kardex. V21 stated she started working at the facility in June 2025 and didn't know the transfer status was documented there until V1 told her that today. On 10/30/2025 at 9:51 AM, V11, CNA, stated she worked 10/21/2025 day shift and was assigned to R5. V11 stated she got to the facility at 6:00 AM that day. V11 stated around 6:30 AM, she answered R5's call light and she wanted to get up for breakfast. V11 stated she assisted R5 to sit up on the side of the bed and put her wheelchair in front of her, as that is how she always transfers from bed to recliner, and she assisted R5 to stand by herself. She instructed R5 to pivot towards her recliner but when R5 went to pivot, she got shaky and her left foot got stuck in the wheelchair wheel, and R5 fell forward onto her stomach onto the bed. V11 stated she panicked and immediately turned R5's call light on, but 5 minutes went by and no staff responded, so she called the facility and spoke to V6, Business Office Manager, and told her she needs assistance from staff in R5's room, and V6 told her she'd sent staff to the room. V11 stated V4, Wound Nurse, entered R5's room approximately 10 minutes later and she assisted her to get R5 up and transferred R5 to her recliner. V11 stated she asked R5 many times if she was OK, and R5 stated she was OK. V11 left R5's room at approximately 6:50 AM and she was up in her recliner and was OK. V11 stated she looked for R5's nurse to report the resident fell and she couldn't find her nurse anywhere at the facility, and so she started getting other residents up and started passing breakfast trays. It was around 8:00 AM when she noticed V18, RN, V17, NP, and an unknown therapy staff were in R5's room. After they left R5's room, she entered her room and asked what was going on, and R5 told her that they think her left ankle is broken and she has to go the emergency room.

She was told she was suspended pending the investigation of R5's improper transfer and she was in-serviced at the facility on 10/29/2025 and she comes back to work 11/1/2025.

On 10/30/2025 a 12:07 PM, V3, ADON, stated she was working when R5 had a change in condition and was transferred to the emergency room. V3 stated she recalled the incident and was alerted by V17, NP, to go assess R5's left ankle/lower leg, and when she did she noted R5's left lower leg was swollen and bruised and she asked R5 how this occurred. R5 told her foot got caught in her wheelchair wheel during a transfer and she fell back onto the bed. V3 stated when a resident falls, she expects the CNA to notify the resident's nurse immediately, and if they can't find the resident's nurse to notify any nurse of a fall, and a nurse should assess the resident immediately for injury and pain and then should document the assessment and notify the resident's provider about what occurred. V3 stated when a resident initially falls, she expects staff to document a change in condition form (SBAR) which should document an immediate intervention which can include resident transferred to emergency room. After the resident is readmitted to the facility, the interdisciplinary (IDT) team will put a permanent intervention in place to prevent future falls on the resident's care plan. V3 would expect the permanent intervention to be documented on the resident's care plan within 24 hours of being readmitted to the facility. R5's permanent intervention was to have her be a mechanical lift, and V3 stated R5's care plan has been updated. V3 stated staff were verbally in-serviced on 10/21/2025, she ran around and verbally educated all staff working that they were to ensure residents were transferred properly to prevent injuries because R5 was improperly transferred and she sustained a left ankle/left leg bruising and swelling. V3 stated she put the in-service paperwork at the employee clock in for staff to read and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145500 If continuation sheet Page 7 of 9 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 145500 B.

V28 stated she wasn't aware R5's fall care plan documented 2 person assist and she will update it immediately to reflect that R5 is now a mechanical lift. On 10/29/2025 at 11:50 AM, V17, Nurse Practitioner, stated she was at the facility on the morning of 10/21/2025, and therapy staff (unknown name) reported to her R5 had new bruising, redness, and swelling to her left ankle/lower leg. V17 stated she went and assessed R5 immediately and R5 told her she was transferred with 1 staff and her foot got caught in the wheelchair wheel and she fell forward onto the bed. V17 stated no nursing staff reported this injury to her, therapy was the first to report this injury to her. V17 stated R5 was crying at that time and stated she didn't want to go back to the hospital because she was recently there for pneumonia and she didn't want to go back. V17 stated she spoke to R5 and let her know due to the extent of the injury she needed to be assessed at the local emergency room for imaging to see the extent of the injury to ensure she received proper care and treatment. V17 stated she's not sure if the fracture is new or not because R5 was assessed by a foot and ankle specialist, and he documented the fractures on the x rays were past chronic fractures, not acute, but V17 did confirm that R5's left foot/leg was bruised, red and swollen upon assessment after she was transferred by 1 staff on the morning of 10/21/2025. V17 expects staff to follow the resident's care plan because that recommendation is the safest mode of transfer for the resident per therapy. If staff questioned how a resident is transferred, they can check the resident's care plan, and she expected the care plan to be up to date at all times, so staff know what the therapy recommendation is and residents are transferred properly to ensure no injuries are sustained during transfers. 2.
