Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's Abuse and Neglect Policy, dated 7/2023, documents Identifying and Recognizing signs and
symptoms of abuse: a. The following are examples of actual abuse/neglect and signs and symptoms of
abuse/neglect which should be promptly reported. This listing is not all inclusive. Other signs and symptoms
or actual abuse/neglect may be apparent. When in doubt, reported immediately. i. Signs of/actual physical
abuse: 1. Welts or bruises. State Agencies: Purpose- to assure all serious bodily injuries and reasonably
suspected crimes against resident's, resulting in serious bodily injuries, are reported to IDPH (Illinois
Department of Public Health) immediately, all serious incidents and accidents, and allegations of abuse,

R1's Progress Note, dated 2/25/25 and signed by V4/LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), documents During
transfer from wheelchair to stretcher this nurse observed a large circular red/purple bruise to (R1's) left mid
back. Emergency Medical Technicians were made aware that (R1) has been on Eliquis (blood thinning
medication) but it was placed on hold per (V6/Nurse Practitioner) and that (R1) experienced no recent falls
that this nurse was aware of other than the one on 2/7/25. This same progress note documented V4 notified
V2/DON (Director of Nursing) of the bruise located to R1's left mid back.
On 5/2/25 at 2:15PM V4/LPN stated she observed a large purplish/red bruise approximately six inches in
diameter to R1's left mid back for the first time when sending R1 out to the hospital. V4 stated she was
unable to measure the bruise to R1's back because R1 was being transferred out to the local hospital. V4
stated, I reported the bruise to (V2/Director of Nursing) because it had appeared overnight, and I did not
know what caused it. I let (V2) know I did not believe it was due to (R1's) fall, because the fall had occurred
two to three weeks prior to the bruise appearing. There was no rhyme or reason to the bruise appearing to
(R1's) back.
As of 5/2/25, the facility's reports to the local State Agency did not contain documentation of R1's 2/25/25
injury of unknown origin as being reported.
On 5/2/25 at 2:28 PM V2/DON stated V4 did report R1's bruise (injury of unknown origin) to V2. V2 stated
R1's injury of unknown origin was not reported to the local State Agency and should have been.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a thorough investigation was completed
following a bruise of unknown origin for one of three residents (R1) reviewed for bruises in a sample of
three.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
The facility's Abuse and Neglect Policy, dated 7/2023, documents an injury should be classified as an injury
of unknown source when the injury was not observed by any person, could not be explained, and the injury
is suspicious because of the extent of the injury or the location. This same policy also states, VI. Abuse
Investigations. All reports of resident abuse, neglect, and injuries of unknown origin shall be promptly and
thoroughly investigated by the organization management. c. The individual conducting the investigation will,
at a minimum: i. review the resident's medical record to determine events leading up to the incident. ii.
Interview the person(s) reporting the incident. iii. Interview any witnesses of the incident. iv. Interview the
resident (as medically appropriate). v. Interview the resident's attending physician to determine the
resident's current mental status. vi. Interview staff members (on all shifts) who have had contact with the
resident during the period of the alleged incident. vii. Interview the resident's roommate, family members,
and visitors. viii. Interview other residents to whom the accused employee provides cares or services and
ix. Review all events leading up to the alleged incident. k. The results of the investigation will be
documented.
R1's Progress Note, dated 2/25/25 and signed by V4/LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), documents During
transfer from wheelchair to stretcher this nurse observed a large circular red/purple bruise to (R1's) left mid
back. Emergency Medical Technicians were made aware that (R1) has been on Eliquis (blood thinning
medication) but it was placed on hold per (V6/Nurse Practitioner) and that (R1) experienced no recent falls
that this nurse was aware of other than the one on 2/7/25. This same progress note documented V4 notified
V2/DON (Director of Nursing) of the bruise located to R1's left mid back.
On 5/2/25 at 2:15PM V4/LPN stated she observed a large purplish/red bruise approximately 6 inches in
diameter to R1's left mid back for the first time when sending R1 out to the hospital. V4 stated she was
unable to measure the bruise to R1's back because R1 was being transferred out to the local hospital. V4
stated, I reported the bruise to (V2/Director of Nursing) because it had appeared overnight, and I did not

like two to three weeks prior to the bruise appearing. There was no rhyme or reason to the bruise appearing
to (R1's) back.
As of 5/2/25, the facility's investigations for allegations of abuse did not contain documentation that R1's
2/25/25 injury of unknown origin was investigated as potential abuse.
On 5/2/25 at 2:28 PM V2/DON stated V4 did report R1's bruise (injury of unknown origin) to V2. V2 stated
an investigation was never initiated for the bruise/injury of unknown origin located on R1's left mid back and
should have been.
On 5/3/25 at 10:03 AM V1/Administrator verified an investigation was never initiated for the bruise/injury of
unknown origin to R1's left mid back and should have been.
