observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three residents (Resident 1)

bones become thin and weak, and more likely to break).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Sheet (MDS, a comprehensive, standardized assessment
tool), dated 3/14/25, the MDS indicated at Question GG0170, E, a score of 2, which indicated Resident 1
