F 0610 Respond appropriately to all alleged violations. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records, select facility incident reports and the facility's abuse prohibition policy and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to timely and thoroughly investigate an injury of unknown source to rule out abuse, neglect or mistreatment for one of 15 residents sampled (Resident CR1) and failed to promptly conduct a thorough investigation into the witnessed abuse perpetrated by Employee 3, and failed to protect residents from the potential for further abuse during the course of the investigation into the abuse of one resident (Resident A1) out of the 15 sampled residents. Residents Affected - Few The findings include: A review of the facility's Abuse Prohibition Policy last reviewed April 17, 2024, indicated that the objective of the abuse policy is to comply with the seven-step approach to abuse and neglect detention and prevention. Verbal abuse is defined as the use of oral, written, or gestured language that willfully includes disparaging and derogatory terms to residents or their families or within hearing distance, regardless of their age, ability to comprehend, or disability. Mental abuse is defined as the use of verbal or nonverbal conduct which causes or has the potential to cause the resident to experience humiliation, intimidation, fear, shame, agitation, or degradation. Injuries of Unknown Origin include that the source of the injury was not observed by any person or the source of the injury could not be explained by the resident; the injury is suspicious because of the extent of the injury or the location of the injury (e.g., the injury is located in an area not vulnerable to trauma) or the number of injuries observed at one particular point in time or the incidence of injuries over time. It is the policy of this facility that reports of abuse are promptly and thoroughly investigated. The designated facility personnel will begin the investigation immediately. A root cause investigation and analysis will be completed. The information gathered is given to administration. Employees accused of abuse will be immediately removed from the facility and will remain removed pending the results of a thorough investigation. A review of Resident CR1's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease and osteopenia (reduced bone density which can make bones weaker and increases risk for fracture). Resident CR1 was placed on Hospice on June 5, 2024. Resident CR1 expired at the facility on June 25, 2024. Review of Resident C1's significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated standardized assessment process completed periodically to plan resident care), dated May 10, 2024, indicated the resident was moderately cognitively impaired with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 9 (a score of 8- 12 indicates moderately impaired), displayed physical and verbal behaviors, and required two plus persons physical assistance for bed mobility and transfers. Review of a nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 9:42 AM revealed Employee 1 (RN Unit Manager) was called to Resident C1's room by Employee 2 (nurse aide). The resident's left lower shin appeared to be freely moving, not warm to touch, no redness noted, and resident was grimacing and yelling in (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395249 If continuation sheet Page 8 of 17 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 395249 B.

F 0610 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few pain. As needed Tylenol given as ordered. Call to CRNP (certified registered nurse practitioner) with order for STAT x-ray to left lower extremity. A nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 10:54 AM indicated that the x-ray was completed and the resident had a tibia-fibula fracture (broken bones in the lower leg). Call to CRNP. Physician order to transfer resident to emergency room. Resident Representative aware. A nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 12:29 PM indicated that a call was received from the emergency room physician reporting that the resident has obvious fracture but is not a surgical candidate. A nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 8:29 PM indicated that the resident returned from the emergency room with splint on the left leg. Review of Resident CR1's Documentation Survey Report for June 2024 revealed that on June 14, 2024, on the 11:00 PM shift to 7:00 AM shift the resident was dependent for bed mobility and required the assistance of two staff and for toileting the resident required assist times two staff with a passive lift (full mechanical lift). At 2:16 AM (on June 15, 2024, prior to finding Resident CR1's fracture) Employee 3 (nurse aide) signed off that only one staff member was used for bed mobility and at 2:14 AM and signed off only one staff member was used for toileting the resident. Review of Employee 3 (nurse aide) witness statement dated June 15, 2024, regarding the injury revealed that she did not notice anything with the resident's legs and that the resident was already in bed, was not transferred and did not scream out or anything. Further review of the witness statement revealed no documented evidence of any care she provided to the resident despite the employee signing off on the resident's Documentation Survey Report as to providing bed mobility and toileting of the resident on that shift. Review of the facility's Incident Report dated June 15, 2024, and concluded June 18, 2024, indicated that per statements and nurses notes the resident had displayed behaviors such as removing clothes, yelling, agitation, hitting, the wall, leaning over Broda chair (wheelchair which can tilt and recline), grabbing at staff. The interdisciplinary team concluded that the resident's behaviors along with diagnosis of osteopenia could have contributed to the leg fracture. The facility failed to identify that Employee 3 documented providing care to the resident during the prior shift, without the assistance of another person. However, further review of the Employee 3's (nurse aide) witness statement failed to indicate what care she provided for the resident during the shift related to her signing the resident's Documentation Survey Report indicating that only one staff member was used for assisting the resident with bed mobility at 2:16 AM on June 15, 2024. The facility failed to implement its established procedures in response to an injury of unknown origin, a fracture, by failing to conduct a thorough investigation to rule out potential abuse, neglect, or mistreatment of the resident as a potential cause of this serious injury. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on July 2, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM confirmed that the facility could not provide documented evidence that the facility fully investigated Resident CR1's injury of unknown origin (left tibia/fibula fracture).
