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 implement its policy and procedures (P&P) for ensuring the
reporting of a reasonable suspicion of a crime in accordance with Section 1150B of the Act by failing to
report for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) the result of the investigation of an injury of unknown
origin (the source of the injury was not observed by any person; and the source of the injury could not be
explained by the resident; and the injury is suspicious) within five (5) working days of the incident.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in delay of necessary actions to oversee the protection of
the residents in the facility by CDPH.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 1 on 10/11/2021 with
diagnoses including dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other
thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), psychotic disorder (mental disorder that
cause abnormal thinking and perceptions), and repeated falls.
A review of Resident 1 ' s History and Physical exam, dated 10/27/2023, indicated Resident 1 did not have
the capacity to understand and make decisions due to dementia.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care-planning tool),
dated 8/28/2023, indicated Resident 1 was rarely able to communicate, make needs known, make
decisions, and remember. Resident 1 needed extensive assistance from one staff with bed mobility,
transfer, dressing, and toilet use.
A review of Resident 1 ' s Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation Form (SBAR Communication and Progress Note for Changes in Condition), dated 11/4/2023, indicated that at 11:30
a.m., staff noted Resident 1 to have pain to the left upper arm. Resident 1 ' s physician was informed and
ordered to continue monitoring Resident 1 ' s left arm pain. The SBAR further indicated that at 5 p.m.
Resident 1 had discoloration and swelling in the inner left upper arm. Resident 1 ' s physician was informed
and ordered X-rays (used to generate images of tissues and structures inside the body) of Resident 1 ' s
left shoulder and left forearm (the section of the upper limb from the elbow to the wrist).
A review of Resident 1 ' s X-ray report dated 11/6/2023, indicated a fracture (broken bone) of the proximal
humerus (a long bone located in the upper arm, between the shoulder joint and elbow joint)

Care Hospital 1 (GACH 1) for evaluation and treatment.

A review of the facility Transmission Verification Report, dated 11/6/2023, indicated the facility made the
initial report of Resident 1 ' s left shoulder injury of unknown origin to the local California Department of
Public Health (CDPH) office at 3:35 p.m. The facility did not send a final investigation report to CDPH within
five days.
On 11/20/2023 at 12:40 p.m., during an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) was asked about the result
of the investigation and evidence it was sent to CDPH. The DON stated the Administrator (ADM) would be
the one making the report to CDPH. The DON further stated Resident 1 ' s injury was considered as the
injury of unknown origin because the source of injury was not found.
During an interview on 11/20/2023 at 1:20 p.m., the ADM stated he should have reported the Five-Day
Investigation Summary to the local CDPH office but forgot.
A review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Prevention, Reporting and Correction of
Inappropriate Conduct Including Abuse, Neglect and Mistreatment of Residents and Investigation of Injuries
of Unknown Origin, revised 1/18/2023, indicated Injuries of Unknown Source - An injury should be
considered as an injury of unknown source when both of the following conditions are met: (1) the source of
the injury could not be explained by the resident; and (2) the injury is suspicious because of the extent of
the injury of the location of the injury. The P&P further indicated, Reporting: The administrator in
coordination with Compliance Officer will either verify or report all allegations of abuse or neglect in
accordance with state and federal regulations including but not limited to the [NAME] Justice Act.
