What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0580 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident. Based on interview and record review the facility failed to inform the Medical Doctor (MD) and the Resident Representative (RR) for one of four sampled resident (Resident 1) when on 11/6/2025 at 3 p.m. Resident 1 had a fall. This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the care and services provided to Resident 1. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 9/12/2025 with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), muscle weakness (general), and difficulty in walking. During a review of Resident 1's Fall Risk Evaluation (a process used by healthcare providers to determine a person's likelihood of falling), dated 9/12/2025, the Fall Risk Evaluation indicated Resident 1's fall risk score was 16 (a total score of 10 or greater, the resident should be considered at high risk for potential falls). During a review of Resident 1's Physician History and Physical (H&P- a process used by doctors to understand a resident's health by combining medical history and physical examination), dated 9/13/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool), dated 9/17/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 sometimes understood and was sometimes understood. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was dependent (helper does all the effort) for showering, required substantial assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with upper body dressing, and required partial assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 1's Electronic Medical Record (EMR- digital collection of medical information about a person that is stored on a computer) as of 11/13/2025 at 10:27 a.m., the EMR indicated Resident 1 did not have a Change in Condition (COC- when there is a sudden change in a resident's condition) Assessment for 11/6/2025, and no Fall Risk Evaluation dated 11/6/2025. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 12:08 p.m. with Activity Assistant (AA 1), AA 1 stated on 11/6/2025 at 3p.m. in the dining room AA 1 stated she heard a commotion and saw Resident 1's wheelchair moving slowly without Resident 1 on it. AA 1 stated Resident 1's wheelchair was moving on its own and Resident 1 was sitting on the floor in the entrance of the dining room closest to Resident 1's room. AA 1 stated not aware of how Resident 1 ended up on the floor. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 12:47 p.m. with AA 2, AA 2 stated on 11/6/2025 at 3 p.m. AA 2 was in the dining room by the entrance closest to Room A and AA 2 was facing the opposite entrance near Resident 1's room (Room B) and Resident 1 was by the entrance near Resident 1's room. AA 2 stated she (AA 2) saw when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 brought Resident 1 into the dining room, Resident 1 then got up and turned quickly on her own and fell on Resident 1's left side. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 3:03 p.m. with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated on 11/6/2025 at 3 p.m. she (CNA 1) was already leaving and saw Resident 1 going into a room that was not hers (Resident 1) then CNA 1 took Resident 1 into the dining (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.

During a concurrent interview and record review on 11/13/2025 at 4:38 p.m., Resident 1's EMR was reviewed with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated on 11/6/2025 at 3 p.m. she (DON) was leaving her office which is located across the dining room when she (DON) saw Resident 1 on the floor on her right side in a fetal position. The DON stated when a fall occurs, staff should create a COC. The DON stated the COC for Resident 1's fall was created only today (11/13/2025). The DON reviewed COC Assessment Form, dated 11/6/2025, and the DON stated it indicated it was created on 11/13/2025 at 10:56 a.m. The DON stated Resident 1's COC should have been done on the same day or it can be an hour later but should be done during the shift and care plan and the rest of the forms can be done the following day. The DON was not able to provide documented evidence the MD and the RR were notified on 11/6/2025. The DON stated not documenting the COC can result to not providing the appropriate interventions and/or not following the plan of care. The DON stated monitoring should be specific to the COC. The DON stated there was no 72 hours monitoring for the fall. The DON stated COC monitoring should be per shift for 72 hours after a new COC and since this was not documented it did not occur.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of an employee-to-resident physical abuse (deliberately aggressive or violent behavior with the intention to cause harm) to the State Survey Agency (SSA), the ombudsman (advocates for residents of nursing homes), and local law enforcement for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) in accordance with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Abuse & Mistreatment of Residents, when on 11/6/2025 at 3 p.m. Activities Assistant (AA) 1 alleged Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 pushed Resident 1.This deficient practice increased Resident 1's risk for further abuse, which could have led to additional unreported incidents and failure to protect other residents from potential harm. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 9/12/2025 with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities), muscle weakness (general), and difficulty in walking. During a review of Resident 1's Fall Risk Evaluation (a process used by healthcare providers to determine a person's likelihood of falling), dated 9/12/2025, the Fall Risk Evaluation indicated Resident 1's fall risk score was 16 (a total score of 10 or greater, the resident should be considered at high risk for potential falls).

The COC Assessment indicated that within two to three seconds after CNA 1 placed Resident 1 in the dining room, Resident 1 quickly stood up from the wheelchair and landed on her (Resident 1) right side without hitting her (Resident 1) head. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 12:08 p.m. with AA 1, AA 1 stated on 11/6/2025 at around 3 p.m. she (AA 1) was in the dining room and heard a commotion then observed Resident 1's wheelchair moving slowly without Resident 1 on it.

CNA 1 stated she (CNA 1) did not push Resident 1 but was told on 11/7/2025 by the Administrator (Adm) that she (CNA 1) was suspended pending investigation because the facility thought it was an alleged abuse. CNA 1 stated she informed the facility that AA 1 was going around telling everyone that she (CNA 1) pushed Resident 1. CNA 1 stated on 11/12/2025 she (CNA 1) was terminated and was told this is what is best. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 3:40 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated CNA 1 was suspended by the Adm because CNA 1 placed Resident 1 into the dining room and left Resident 1 in the dining room by the doorway. DSD stated CNA 1 then clocked out and when passing by the dining room saw Resident 1 on the floor. The DSD stated the Adm informed CNA 1 she would be suspended pending investigation because staff were saying CNA 1 had basically pushed Resident 1 into the dining room causing Resident 1 to fall. The DSD stated because it was alleged that Resident 1 was pushed that was why Adm wanted to investigate the allegation of pushing and see what the staff meant by that. The DSD stated AA 1 was the one alleging CNA 1 pushed Resident 1 into the dining room. The DSD stated pushing, if intentional and aggressive would be considered abuse. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 4:22 p.m. with the Adm, the Adm stated the CCTV footage for 11/6/2025 was reviewed but Adm did not keep the footage because the footage gets erased automatically after five days. The Adm stated on 11/6/2025 at 3 p.m. the footage showed CNA 1 bringing Resident 1 inside the dining room and pushed Resident 1 who was in the wheelchair. The Adm stated CNA 1 was observed leaving to clock out and Resident 1 then stood up and fell. The Adm stated AA 1 said CNA 1 pushed Resident 1. The Adm stated she (Adm) spoke to AA 1 and asked why AA 1 was gossiping saying CNA 1 pushed Resident 1 if AA 1 did not see how Resident 1 fell. The Adm stated AA 1 said she (AA 1) did not see Resident 1 fall. The Adm stated because AA 1 said CNA 1 pushed Resident 1, CNA 1 was suspended. The Adm stated the allegation from AA 1 that Resident 1 was a pushed is a form of abuse. The Adm stated she (Adm) did not report the alleged abuse because Resident 1 had no injuries. During an interview on 11/13/2025 at 4:45 p.m. with the Adm, the Adm stated she did not keep the video footage because she did not think it was anything like abuse. The Adm stated the word push came up but not sure when we were aware of the word push was being used, AA 1 was heard saying that Resident 1 was pushed, and Adm stated maybe a day or two after was told to her (Adm) that Resident 1 was pushed and no one reported it. The Adm stated this was more of a hearsay. The Adm stated when hearing the word push there is a concern for abuse. The Adm stated any abuse allegations must be reported within 2 hours. The Adm stated this allegation was not reported. The Adm stated it was not reported because no one reported it to us (Adm) directly and it was just a hearsay. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Abuse & Mistreatment of Residents, last reviewed on 1/29/2025, the P&P indicated facility shall ensure reporting of all alleged and substantiated violation to the state agency and all other agencies as required, and take all necessary corrective action based on the results of the investigation. Knowledge of an incident that reasonable appears to be a physical abuse or reasonably suspects abuse, shall be reported the known or suspected instance of abuse by telephone immediately or as soon as practically possible, and by written report sent within two (2) working days, to the local Ombudsmen and the local law enforcement agency shall report any case of known or suspected abuse to the State Department of Health Services. During a review of the Facility P&P titled, Close-Circuit TV's, last reviewed on 1/29/2025, the P&P indicated videotape will be kept for five (5) days and then destroyed unless the video content is needed for legal or other purposes.
