What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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 ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident property, are reported immediately, but , but not later than 2 hours after forming the suspicion, if the events that cause the suspicion result in serious bodily injury, or not later than 24 hours if the events that cause the suspicion do not result in serious bodily injury for 1 of 6 (Resident #1) residents reviewed for abuse and neglect. The facility staff did not report to the state agency Resident #1's fractured orbital floor (a break to the thin, bony plate that forms the bottom of the eye socket) and cervical spine fractures, following a fall out of bed during care, that were discovered during a hospital admission starting 1/30/25. This failure could place residents at risk of injuries, abuse, and/or neglect. Findings Include: 1. Record review of the face sheet dated 2/26/25 indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female, admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including heart failure, hypertension (elevated blood pressure), diabetes, anxiety, and COPD. Record review of the admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 admitted to the facility from a short-term general hospital on 1/30/25. Record review of the Discharge MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #1 discharged from the facility with return anticipated to a short-term general hospital on 1/30/25. Record review of Resident #1's medical records indicated Resident #1 did not have a care plan or physician orders at the time of her discharge from the facility. Record review of the hospital records for Resident #1's admission starting 1/30/25 indicated, [Resident #1] arrived by EMS due to fall/AMS from [nursing facility], [Resident #1] just arrived to the facility from the hospital for unknown reasons. staff was working on patients wound vacs, the bed was not locked, and patient fell out onto face, swelling, bruising to [left] eye, [laceration] to [left] side of forehead. The hospital records indicated Resident #1 had a notable orbital fracture and nondisplaced fractures (a type of fracture where the bone fragments remain in their original position without shifting) on C-spine (cervical spine) osteophytes (a bony growth that develops on the edge (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few of a bone). The hospital records discharge summary indicated Resident #1 was status post fall from the bed with an orbital wall fracture with possible muscle entrapment and equivocal (a situation where the muscle gets trapped within a fractured bone or other tissue, often causing limitation in movement, while equivocal means uncertain or ambiguous), tiny acute or subacute fractures (stress fracture) of the anterior (nearer to the front) osteophytes along the inferior endplate of C6 bilaterally (a flat, bilayer cartilage that helps stabilize the vertebral column). During an interview on 2/20/25 at 10:03 a.m. the MDS Coordinator/ADON said Resident #1 was only in the facility for approximately an hour before she was sent to the ER, and they did not have time to complete a baseline care plan or any of her other medical records or assessments in their computer system. During an interview on 2/26/25 at 9:06 a.m. the Marketer said she had been at the facility since November 2024. The Marketer said Resident #1 had not been in the facility but maybe a couple hours when she was sent out to the hospital. The Marketer said she contacted the Case Manager in the morning (no date given) and was told Resident #1 had a CT that was negative, her left eye was swollen shut, and she had 8-10 sutures above her left eye. The Marketer said later (time not specified) the Case Manager informed her Resident #1 had several small fractures of the C-Spine (cervical spine) and of her left orbital floor. The Marketer said she did not report that information to the Administrator as the facility did not have an administrator at that time. The Marketer said the MDS Coordinator/ADON had been keeping in touch with the Resident #1's as well. During an interview on 2/26/25 at 9:35 a.m. the MDS Coordinator/ADON said she had spoken with Resident #1's family member on 1/30/25 regarding the fall on 1/30/25. The MDS coordinator/ADON said the family member came by the facility and said he understood things happened. The MDS Coordinator/ADON said the family member never gave her any information regarding Resident #1's diagnosis at the hospital. The MDS Coordinator/ADON said that was the last time she had any communication with Resident #1's family. During an interview on 2/27/25 at 10:30 a.m. the MDS Coordinator/ADON said on 1/30/25 the Regional Nurse would have been responsible for calling incidents into the state agency. The MDS Coordinator/ADON said she reported the incident of Resident #1 having a fall while care was providing care to the Regional Nurse on 1/30/25, but due to the fact they knew what happened and how the injuries occurred they did not think it was a reportable incident. During an interview on 2/27/25 at 10:43 a.m. the Regional Nurse said the MDS Coordinator/ADON had made her aware of the incident on 1/30/25 regarding Resident #1 falling. The Regional Nurse said they had a conference call (date not given) regarding the incident, and she asked if the bed was locked. The Regional Nurse said she had been informed Resident #1's bed was locked at the time of her fall. The Regional Nurse said it was determined the incident was not reportable to the state agency due to it being a witnessed fall and knowing how the injury occurred. The Regional Nurse said the facility did not receive any hospital updates to know the extent of Resident #1's injuries. The Regional Nurse said she was not aware the Marketer had been updated by the Hospital Case Manager regarding Resident #1's injuries. The Regional Nurse said she found out about Resident #1's injuries on 2/26/25 when the surveyor notified the facility. Record review of the facility's Abuse Prohibition policy last revised 5/17/24 indicated, This protocol was intended to assist in the prevention of abuse, neglect, and misappropriation of property.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that the resident environment remained free of accident hazards and each resident was provided adequate supervision to prevent injuries for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for accident hazards. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's bed was locked while providing care resulting in a fall with fractures to the orbital floor (a break to the thin, bony plate that forms the bottom of the eye socket) and cervical spine on 1/30/25. This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 2/26/25 at 12:00 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 2/27/25, the facility remained out of compliance at no actual harm with a scope identified as isolated due to the facility's need to complete in-service training and evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. This failure could place residents at risk for serious harm, impairment, or death. Findings include: 1.
