**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect,
exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident
property, are reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the events that
cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not later than 24 hours if the events
that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury, to the administrator
of the facility and to other officials (including to the State Survey Agency) in accordance with State law
through established procedure. In response to allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment,
including injuries of unknown source for 2 of 10 residents (Resident #1 and Resident #2) reviewed for
reporting allegations of abuse and neglect. The DON failed to identify an un-witnessed fall as an alleged
violation of injury of unknown source for Resident #1 on 10/07/2025 resulting in the resident having a
laceration to the right eyebrow with swelling and bleeding and being sent to the hospital The DON failed to
identify an un-witnessed fall as an alleged violation of injury of unknown source for Resident ##2 on
11/12/2025 resulting in the resident having a small hematoma to the left cheekbone and laceration to the
left side of eyebrow. The DON failed to report an alleged violation of injury of unknown source for Resident
#1 on 10/07/2025 and Resident #2 on 11/12/2025 to the Administrator of the facility and the Administrator
failed to report the violations of injury of unknown source not later than 24 hours to other officials (including
to the State Survey Agency) in accordance with State law through established procedure.This deficient
practice of not following ANE reporting protocol could place residents at risk of harm by not having their
injuries investigated.The findings included: Review of Resident #1's admission record dated 12/03/2025
reflected he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE], and discharged on 11/18/2025.
His diagnoses included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia (a condition when the respiratory system fails
to maintain adequate oxygen levels in the blood), dementia (a condition characterized by a decline in
cognitive function), muscle wasting and atrophy (is the loss of muscle mass and strength), sepsis,
unspecified organism (condition when the body's immune system reacts severely to an infection, leading to
widespread inflammation), and other lack of coordination (condition characterized by difficulty controlling
voluntary muscle movements, leading to symptoms such as clumsiness, unsteady gait). Review of Resident
#1's discharge MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 11, indicating moderately impaired cognition. It
reflected that he required substantial/maximal assistance with sit to stand, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, toilet
transfer and required the use of a manual wheelchair. Review of Resident #1's care plan dated 10/10/2025
reflected the following: [Resident #1] The resident is at risk for falls r/t decreased mobility d/t respiratory

received ANE training online, she was knowledgeable and provided examples of ANE. She stated the
abuse coordinator is the ADM and any ANE suspected or witnessed is expected or to be reported

decline in health. She stated the post-fall procedures are to notify the DON and ADM regardless of if
witnessed or un-witnessed fall. She stated witnessed and un-witnessed falls follow the same process for
notification. She stated she was not familiar with Resident #1's care, but she was familiar with Resident #2's
care. RN B stated Resident #2 needs partial standby assistance, but lately he has been declining,

he's alert, he needs assistance and reminders with walking. She stated Resident #1 would have been
receiving PT services, he has short term memory, requires minimal assistance and no behaviors. She
stated she was not sure why there are no ANE reports to the state regarding the unwitnessed falls for
Resident #1 on 10/7/2025 and Resident #2 on 11/12/2025. DON stated she believes ANE report was not
submitted to the state because Resident #1 and Resident #2 have high BIMS, and she interviewed them
after the falls, and they explained why they fell. She stated she does not keep documentation on post-fall
interviews, and she does not chart it in their electronic medical record. After she was informed of Resident
#2's BIMS score of 06 signifies severe cognitive impairment she stated she would have to review his

have fallen to make sure there are no injuries, the charge nurse conducts an assessment of the resident
and notifies the DON, ADM, RP, and MD. She stated if there is no injury the management team will talk
about it in the morning meeting the following day, give screening referral to therapy staff and talk about
interventions. ADM stated if there is an injury with the fall there is a whole investigation process, this entails
completing an incident report, conducting all the interviews with staff present, resident interview, and
documenting timeframes of what occurred to report it to the state. She stated if the fall protocol is not
followed it could impact the resident and serious injuries would go unreported. She stated that she has 2

staff are expected to report ANE immediately - day or night. She stated all falls witnessed and unwitnessed
requires a call to her and ADM. She stated she would have spoken to Resident #2 after the un-witnessed
fall on 11/12/2025. She stated he's alert, he needs assistance and reminders with walking. She stated
Resident #1 would have been receiving PT services, he has short term memory, requires minimal
assistance and no behaviors. She stated she was not sure why there are no ANE reports to the state
regarding the unwitnessed falls for Resident #1 on 10/7/2025 and Resident #2 on 11/12/2025. DON stated
she believes ANE report was not submitted to the state because Resident #1 and Resident #2 have high
BIMS, and she interviewed them after the falls, and they explained why they fell. She stated she does not
keep documentation on post-fall interviews, and she does not chart it in their electronic medical record.
After she was informed of Resident #2's BIMS score of 06 signifies severe cognitive impairment she stated
she would have to review his electronic medical record and get back to me. No additional information was
received prior to exit. During an interview on 12/03/2025 at 1:58 PM, the ADM stated the last ANE training
conducted was in November following a fall incident that was reported to HHSC. She stated the nursing
staff are required to report any allegations of ANE to her immediately. She stated the fall protocol is to
ensure when a resident is found to have fallen to make sure there are no injuries, the charge nurse
conducts an assessment of the resident and notifies the DON, ADM, RP, and MD. She stated if there is no
injury the management team will talk about it in the morning meeting the following day, give screening
referral to therapy staff and talk about interventions. ADM stated if there is an injury with the fall there is a
whole investigation process, this entails completing an incident report, conducting all the interviews with
staff present, resident interview, and documenting timeframes of what occurred to report it to the state. She
stated if the fall protocol is not followed it could impact the resident and serious injuries would go
unreported. She stated that she has 2 hours after she is notified of the allegation to report to the state. She
stated that if allegation with serious injury, unknown injury, resident cannot tell her what happened, no
witnesses, or unexplainable injury she is to report to the state within 2 hours. She stated she does not recall
the 11/12/2025 un-witnessed fall incident involving Resident #2 and stated the management team usually
discusses incidents in the morning meeting. She stated she may have been notified the following morning
of Resident #2's
