responsible party and informed the people she needed to inform as well as the oncoming nurse.

LVN B stated bruising and discoloration did not look like Resident #1 was hit but looked like a busted vein. LVN B stated Resident #1 had not had any incidents, accidents, falls or altercations that could have caused the injury to the left leg that she was aware of. LVN B was not aware how many staff Resident #1 required for transfers and stated she would have to check her chart. During an interview with the DON on 11/08/25 at 3:18 PM, she stated staff could find levels of assistance in the residents POC and they should be checking this before working with residents to confirm their assistance levels. The DON stated CNA A was trained over these procedures and she did not know if CNA A checked Resident #1's assistance levels on 11/01/25 prior to working with her. The DON stated she was made aware CNA A was having trouble logging into the system and she could have gotten assistance from any other staff member to view that information. The DON stated Resident #1 required 2-person assistance for transfers, bed mobility and incontinent care as per her care plan and CNA A should have used 2-person assistance when she provided this care. The DON state the charge nurses should be monitoring staff to ensure they were providing the proper assistance.

During an interview with the NP on 11/10/25 at 12:29 PM, she stated Resident #1 had osteoporosis and her bones were brittle, so she was a 2 person assist. The NP stated any tiny trauma or being transferred by only 1 person could cause a fracture. During an interview with LVN B on 11/10/25 at 12:35 PM, LVN B stated she was responsible for monitoring and ensuring CNA A provided the proper level of care and assistance to Resident #1 on 11/01/25. LVN B stated she did this by walking the hall and looking for anything out of the ordinary and listening for anything regarding communication with the aides. LVN B stated she was not aware CNA A was providing the incorrect level of assistance, and assumed CNA A knew the level of care her residents required. LVN B stated she was not sure of changes in level of assistance being communicated. LVN B stated she would assume someone in administration would go and notify the staff. LVN B stated if residents were not provided with the proper level of assistance or care needed such as 2-person assistance it could cause injury.
