Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to immediately inform the resident, consult with
the resident's physician and notify, consistent with his or her authority, the representative when there was a
significant change in the resident's physical, mental, or psychosocial status for one (Resident #1) of four
residents reviewed for resident rights.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's MD was notified after she experienced swelling in her left arm.
Resident #1 complained of pain 11/16/2024, the Medical Doctor was not informed. On 11/20/2024 the
Medical Doctor assessed the resident and ordered an X-ray which showed no significant findings on

emergency room where she was diagnosed with a ruptured left bicep tendon with instructions to keep arm
elevated and free of compression.
This failure could place residents at risk of illness, injury, uncontrolled pain, and a decreased quality of life.
