Interview with Resident #112 on 09/27/24 at 1:45 P.M. confirmed she had an incident in the therapy room
where she dropped a free weight dumbbell on her ankle/foot. She confirmed it hurt. She stated no one ever
did a full assessment of her ankle. The therapist asked if she was ok and moved the weight, but did not do
a full assessment. She confirmed she did not tell anyone how painful her ankle/foot was after the incident,
but she stated, they should have known by my facial expressions.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with Therapist #200 on 09/27/24 at 2:05 P.M. confirmed Resident #112 dropped a two pound

of condition is a decline or improvement is a decline or improvement in the resident's status that will not
normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical
interventions. Unless otherwise instructed by the resident, the nurse supervisor/charge nurse will notify the
resident's family or representative when the resident is involved in any accident or incident that results in
injury including injuries of an unknown source or there is a change in the resident's physical, mental, or
psychosocial status. Except in medical emergencies, notification will be made within 24 hours of a change
