Residents Affected - Few
Based on review of facility policy and clinical and facility records and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to ensure Resident R1 was free of neglect during care, which resulted in actual harm of a
left hip fracture requiring surgical repair for one resident (Resident R1). Findings include: Review of a
current facility policy entitled, Abuse-Neglect and Exploitation revealed the following Neglect: means failure
to provide goods and services necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish or mental illness. Neglect
occurs on an individual basis when a resident receives a lack of care in one or more areas (e.g. absence of
frequent monitoring for a resident known to be incontinent, resulting in being left to lie in urine or feces,
failure to apply safety alarms/devices, failure to follow the resident's plan of care, leaving a resident on the
toilet for excessive amounts of time without returning to assist the resident, etc.). Neglect also occurs when
a number of residents receive a lack of care in one or more regulatory groupings, a finding which reflects
the facility's failure to have developed policies or implemented procedures to prohibit neglect. Resident R1's
clinical record revealed an admission date of 1/8/24, with diagnoses that included dementia, anxiety, colon
cancer, and osteoporosis. Review of a physician's order dated 10/15/25, directed that Resident R1 be
assisted by two staff members while standing at a handrail. Review of physical therapy recommendation
dated 10/23/25, directed that Resident R1 be assisted by two staff while standing at a hand rail for toileting.
Review of Resident R1's potential for falls care plan initiated on 1/09/24, identified the resident as a transfer
assist with 2 staff. Review of information submitted by the facility dated 1/9/26, revealed that Resident R1
was standing, holding onto a handrail bar, while a single staff member attempted to put on the resident's
brief (incontinence product). During this time the resident fell to the floor injuring their left hip. Prior to this
fall, resident safety interventions were to stand at a handrail with assistance of two staff members rather
than one. A nurse's progress note dated 1/8/26, 11:37 a.m. documented that the nurse was alerted to
assess Resident R1 in the main bathroom where Resident R1 was observed on the floor. The Nurse Aide
(Employee E1) with the resident, stated that following a shower, the resident lost their balance and fell to
the floor while being dried. The documenting nurse observed that one of the resident's legs appeared
shorter than the other and that the resident complained of pain the nurse then called 911 to transfer the
resident to the hospital. A nurse's note dated 1/8/26, at 5:16 p.m. documented that the during
correspondence with the hospital it was determined that the Resident R1 had a broken hip and was being
transferred to another hospital for further treatment. Review of an Employee Statement for Resident
Incident/Accident form dated 1/8/26, revealed that NA Employee E1 documented that he/she showered
Resident R1, stood the resident at a grab bar and while attempting to apply a brief, the resident's hand
slipped from the bar and the resident fell to the floor. Review of a Witnessed Fall-SNF investigation form
dated 1/8/26, revealed that NA Employee E1 disclosed that after showering Resident R1 he/she stood the
resident at the shower room grab bar and while
