F 0600 Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few Based on a review of policies and clinical records, as well as staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from neglect for one of four residents reviewed (Resident 2) resulting in a fall with a fracture.Findings include:The facility's abuse policy, dated February 20, 2025, revealed that the facility will not tolerate abuse and that facility staff must immediately report all such allegations to the Nursing Home Administrator/Abuse Coordinator.The facility's abuse policy, dated February 20, 2025,revealed that the facility provide protections for the health, welfare, and rights of each resident by developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property. Neglect means failure of the facility, its employees, or service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress.An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a federally-mandated assessment of the resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 2, dated April 29, 2025, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact, was understood, was able to understand others, had no impairment of the upper extremities, and required assistance for transfers.A nurse's note for Resident 2, dated July 11, 2025, at 8:00 p.m., revealed that the resident had a witnessed fall. The resident stated that she fell backwards. The staff person in the room indicated the resident was ambulating with a rollator and had assisted the resident from the bathroom to the bed. When the staff person side stepped to arrange the blankets on the bed the resident fell backwards. Resident 2 had complaints of 10 out of 10 pain of the right shoulder and was unable to perform range of motion due to the pain. The resident was transported to the hospital for evaluation of the right upper extremity pain.Information submitted by the facility, dated July 11, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., indicated that on July 11, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. Nurse Aide 1 was ambulating Resident 2 from the bathroom to the bed with a four wheeled walker. The nurse aide turned to pull the bed linen down and the resident lost her balance and fell backwards. Resident 2's right shoulder hurt. A gait belt was not in used during the fall. Resident 2 was sent the emergency room for evaluation and was noted to have a proximal Humerus fracture. The facility's investigation concluded that Nurse Aide 1 verbalized that she knew she should have used a gait belt prior to transfer, but she forgot. Resident 2's care plan prior to the fall and the gait belt policy indicated that a gait belt should have been used for ambulation and transfer, and was not used by the nurse aide. The findings of the investigation substantiated neglect.A nurse's note for Resident 2, dated July 16, 2025, at 1:42 a.m., revealed the resident was adjusting well to readmission to the facility. Resident 2 used a sling to the right shoulder due to a fracture and pain medication was used as needed for increased shoulder pain.A witness statement from Registered Nurse 2, dated July 11, 2025, revealed that she entered the room to see that Resident 2 was lying on her back leaning to the right and did not see a gait belt on the resident. Resident 2 complained of right shoulder pain and was unable to move her right arm.A witness statement (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
