**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that each resident received adequate
supervision to prevent accidents for 1 of 3 residents (Resident #1) reviewed.The facility failed to ensure that
Resident #1 received sufficient supervision to avoid the right femur fracture and subsequent hospitalization
on 01/11/26. This failure could place the residents at risk for accidents.Findings included:Review of
Resident #1's Face Sheet dated 01/15/26 revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included unspecified fracture of left femur,
aftercare following joint replacement surgery, presence of left artificial hip joint, dementia, iron deficiency,
hypotension (low blood pressure) and pain.Review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed
her BIMS score was 01 indicating her cognition was severely impaired. The MDS also indicate Resident #1
needed moderate assistance to roll left and right, Sit to lying and Lying to sitting on side of bed. She
needed maximum assistance in sitting, standing and Chair/bed-to-chair transfer. It was noted that Resident
#1 was fully dependent on toilet transfer and incontinent care.Review of Resident #1's Comprehensive
Care Plan dated 01/15/26 revealed Resident #1 was experiencing pain related to a hip fracture with
surgical repair. The relevant intervention was administering the pain medication as ordered and observing
the worsening of the pain symptoms and report to physician.Record review of the FRI dated 01/12/26
indicated that, on 01/11/26, Resident #1 was transferred to the ER by the NP's order for evaluation of the
swelling on the right thigh.Record review of the hospital record dated 01/12/26 reflected Resident #1 had
distal Right femur fracture from unwitnessed ground level fall at nursing facility. The radiology results
revealed that a Dynamic Hip Crew (DHS) ( an orthopedic implant used for internal fixation of proximal femur
fractures ) was present on the right femur and there was a midshaft comminuted impacted angulated spiral
fracture (a severe injury where a bone is twisted and shattered into multiple pieces, with fragments driven
into one another and bent out of alignment) , that occurred below the DHS.Record review of the EHR on
01/15/26 revealed there was no documentation of the pain and assessment that Resident #1 had when
moving her right leg, on 01/08/26.Record review of the January 2026 MAR reflected Resident's pain level
on 01/08/26 and 01/11/26 were 5 and 7 respectively on a pain scale of 1 to 10 where 10 was the highest
and Acetaminophen Tablet 650 MG was administered on both of the occasions. Her pain level on 01/09/26
in the day shift was 2. It indicated that her pain level was 0 on rest of the days.During an observation
conducted on 01/15/26 at 3:30 p.m., Resident #1 was observed lying in bed. An interview was not possible
due to her poor cognitive ability.During a telephone interview on 01/15/26 at 2:15 p.m., the RP for Resident
#1 reported that on 01/11/26 at 7:36 p.m. she received a call from the facility indicating that Resident #1

Resident #1 was diagnosed with a right femoral fracture requiring surgical intervention. The RP added that
the resident had a prior left hip replacement following a fall in October 2025. She stated that facility staff

complaint of right leg pain on 01/08/26, as the information was not communicated. She stated no pain
complaints were reported on 01/09/26 or 01/10/26 though she had not assessed for pain specifically on her
right leg. However, on 01/11/26 at approximately 4:30 p.m., CNA E reported that Resident #1 was
shivering. Upon assessment, RN D observed signs of pain in the right leg, but no swelling or deformity
observed. She administered Tylenol 650 mg as needed, after which the resident stopped shaking and
exhibited no further signs of pain. RN D reported that she communicated this information to the oncoming

express her pain verbally. LVN A stated she specifically assessed the right leg again and found no visible
abnormalities. She administered Acetaminophen (Tylenol)325 mg, two tablets, as needed for pain, and the
resident did not complain of pain for the remainder of the day. LVN A stated she was not sure if she had
communicated about the incident to the incoming nurse, LVN C, during the shift change. She said she did
not report the issue to the NP and forgot to document the incident in the EHR. She stated she should have
documented the incident as well as report it to NP and LVN C to ensure monitoring and continuity of
care.During an interview on 01/15/26 at 2:17 p.m., LVN C stated that he worked the night shift on 01/08/26
and was not informed of Resident #1's complaint of right leg pain during the change of shift by LVN A. He
indicated that he did not perform a focused assessment of the right leg during his shift as he was not aware
of the issue with Resident #1's right leg.During an interview on 01/15/26 at 2:30 p.m., CNA I stated that she
worked the morning shifts on 01/10/26 and 01/11/26 (6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.). She stated she was not
aware of the pain from the right leg of Resident #1 with movements and did not find any signs of pain,
swelling, or redness in Resident #1's lower extremities while changing her briefs. Resident #1 was
combative sometimes and had not checked for any sign of pain while changing her briefs on these days.
She stated if she was aware of the concern with her right leg, she would have observed the resident closely
for pain with the movements of the affected leg.During an interview on 01/15/26 at 4:15 p.m., the NP stated
she received a call on 01/11/26 regarding swelling and pain in Resident #1's right leg and ordered transfer
to the emergency department. She reported she was not aware of the pain episode on 01/08/26. The NP
stated the resident had a history of left hip fracture and was prescribed Tylenol as needed, with order for
pain assessment each shift. She identified severe pain, swelling, deformity, and redness as possible
indicators of fracture and stated she could not determine the exact timeframe for the onset of swelling
following a fracture. The NP stated she was not sure if the complaint of pain in the right leg of Resident #1
on 01/08/26 was related to the fracture as there was no swelling or deformity observed at that time. She
stated that, considering the age and condition of Resident #1, the finding on 01/08/26 should have been
communicated with her and continue to assess and monitor Resident #1 for the pain and change of
condition originating on the affected leg.During an interview on 01/15/26 at 10:30 a.m., the DON stated that
Resident #1 returned from the hospital on [DATE] following surgical repair of the right femur fracture after
being admitted to hospital with swelling on her right leg and pain. The DON reported that on 01/08/26 at
approximately 9:00 a.m., CNA B noted the resident moaning and grimacing in pain when her right leg was
moved and reported this to LVN A, who assessed the resident and administered Tylenol. The DON stated it
was unclear whether this information was communicated to subsequent shifts, however there were no
reports of pain or swelling until 01/11/26. She stated there was no information available if Resident #1 was
assessed for pain from her right leg. Upon review of the incident, the DON said there was no evidence of
follow-up assessment or communication regarding Resident #1's pain until the evening of 01/11/26. The
DON stated that the exact timing of the fracture could not be determined. She stated Resident #1 had no
fall episodes in the month of January 2026. She indicated that although pain was noted with movement of
the right leg on 01/08/26, there were no visible signs of fracture at that time. She stated staff should have
conducted focused pain assessments and observations for change of condition of the affected extremity.
She further stated that there was no documentation of continued assessment or observation following the
initial complaint on 01/08/26. However, she noted that interviews with CNAs who worked on 01/09/26 and
01/10/26 revealed no observed signs of pain or swelling during care across shifts. Record review of the
facility's undated policy ‘Abuse prevention and prohibition reflected: . Injuries of Unknown Origin: An
