During a telephone interview on 5/22/25 at 3:06 p.m. the MD stated he did not think the injury was too serious, did not merit an ambulance ride to the hospital for an x-ray, and the order should not have been too difficult to carry out. The MD further stated, his thought was to have the x-ray done after the weekend, as there was not a transport driver on weekends. The MD continued, sometimes there were delays when radiology orders were placed, and if the x-ray took a couple of days to obtain, he was not worried about it. The MD stated, he would expect a charge nurse or other Licensed Nurse (LN) to notify him if an order was not carried out. The MD confirmed he was notified on 11/13/24 the x-ray had not been done and gave another order to send Resident 1 to the ED for an x-ray as they should not wait any longer.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide radiology services (a branch of medicine that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat disease) for one resident (Resident 1) in a sample of five residents when the Medical Doctor (MD) ordered an x-ray (a photographic or digital image of the internal composition of a part of the body) three days after a known injury and the x-ray was not done until five days after the injury. These failures put Resident 1 at risk for increased pain and delayed the identification of a left finger fracture (a partial or complete break in a bone) that could lead to loss of normal finger use. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review with the Practice Administrator (PA) of Resident 1's electronic medical record on 5/20/25, at 12:49 p.m., the PA stated Resident 1 sustained an injury to his left hand and fourth finger on 11/8/25, orders for ice and splint (device used to support and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555209 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 6 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 555209 B.

F 0658 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few protect a body part, often one with a fracture or injury) were obtained, but no x-ray order was received until 11/11/24. The PA confirmed Resident 1 did not have an x-ray of the injured hand and fingers until 11/13/25 which was five days after the injury occurred. During an interview on 5/20/25 at 1:35 p.m. with the Interim Director of Nursing (IDON), the IDON stated, Resident 1 was taken to the hospital on [DATE] as an outpatient (medical services, treatments, and diagnostic tests that are provided to patients who do not require hospitalization) via facility transport, the hospital's radiology department did not accept the x-ray order as it was not written by the MD, and Resident 1 was brought back to the facility. The IDON further stated, on 11/13/24 at 6:15 p.m. she was made aware Resident 1 had not gotten the x-ray of the injured finger and hand, contacted the MD, and obtained a new order to send Resident 1 to the ED (emergency department) via ambulance for the x-ray. The IDON confirmed, her expectations were not met when Resident 1 had to wait five days for an x-ray of his left hand and fingers as Resident 1 was experiencing pain and swelling. The IDON explained, she did not know why obtaining the x-ray took so long, it should have been done earlier, and the situation did not meet her expectations for care. During an interview on 5/20/25 at 4:40 p.m. with the Administrative Director (ADMIN), the ADMIN stated Resident 1 not having an x-ray done for five days after an injury when a fracture was suspected, did not meet her expectations. During an interview on 5/20/25 at 5:50 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated, the incident with Resident 1 did not meet her expectations. The DON stated the risk of harm to Resident 1 was the injury could get worse or result in a contracture (permanent tightening of muscles, tendons, skin, and nearby tissues that could cause a joint to shorten and become very stiff, preventing normal movement). During a telephone interview on 5/22/25 at 3:06 p.m. the MD stated he did not think the injury was too serious, did not merit an ambulance ride to the hospital for an x-ray, and the order should not have been too difficult to carry out.
