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 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 3 of 5 residents (Resident #2, Resident #33, and Resident #39)
whose records were reviewed for abuse and neglect. 1. The facility DON failed to identify a self-inflicted
injury as an alleged violation of neglect for Resident #2 on 9/16/2025 resulting in the resident having to be
transported to the hospital by emergency medical services for a psych evaluation. 2. The DON failed to
report an alleged violation of neglect for Resident #2 on 9/16/2025 to the Administrator of the facility and
the Administrator failed to report the violation of neglect not later than 24 hours to other officials (including
to the State Survey Agency) in accordance with State law through established procedure. 3. The facility
failed to report an incident on 8/31/2025 in which Resident #39 intentionally struck Resident #33 with her
walker. 4. The facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin to Resident #39 on 7/25/2025 that resulted
in a subdural (the area surrounding the brain inside of the skull) hemorrhage. This deficient practice could
place residents at risk of harm by not having their self-inflicted injuries investigated. The findings included:
Review of Resident #2's admission record dated 2/11/2026 reflected a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included: dementia (describes a group of
symptoms affecting memory, thinking and social abilities), mild cognitive impairment (condition
characterized by noticeable memory or thinking problems), major depressive disorder (serious mental
health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest in activities, and various
emotional and physical problems), generalized anxiety disorder (mental health condition characterized by
excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday issues, affecting daily functioning and quality of life), bipolar
disorder (mental health condition characterized by significant mood swings, including manic and depressive
episodes), and insomnia (characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early
and not being able to return to sleep).
Review of an incident report titled #3054 Self Inflicted Injury dated 9/16/2025 reflected the following:

incident witnessed: No Immediate Action Taken: [DON] immediately went to see [Resident #2] and she is
alert and oriented to her situation and verified that she drank a half bottle of over the counter eye drops
because she is struggling with her bipolarism right now. [DON] informed [Resident #2] that [DON] would be
sending her to ER [emergency room] for evaluation and she is agreeable. [DON] asked about symptoms
and [Resident #2] states she was a little queasy after taking the drops yesterday and did throw up a little.
She states that she is still nauseated now but attributes it to her current mental state. Charge Nurse

Per talk therapist, PMHNP was contacted with self harm information and [Resident #2] agrees to ER
evaluation.
Review of Resident #2's EMR hospital encounter note dated 9/16/2025 reflected the following:
Risk-Psychiatric Illness
Detailed Suicide Risk Overall level suicide risk: high risk Risk Stratification – Suicide – Adult
Risk factors reviewed Calculated Suicide Risk: No Risk.
Review of Resident #2's care plan dated 9/22/2025 and revised 12/22/2025 reflected the following:
[Resident #2] has depression r/t MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER, RECURRENT MODERATE.
[Resident #2] will exhibit indicators of depression, anxiety or sad mood less than daily by review date.
Review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] reflected a BIMS score of 15, indicating little to no
cognitive impairment. It reflected Resident #2 completed functional abilities of self-care and mobility
independently and without assistance. Resident #2's active diagnoses for psychiatric/mood disorder
Section I included: anxiety disorder, depression, bipolar disorder and she was taking antipsychotic,
antianxiety, and antidepressant high-risk medications.
Review of Resident #2's electronic medical record reflected that the facility comprehensively assessed the
resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial needs. Further review of Resident #2's electronic medical
record reflected mental health services and medication management were being provided to assist
Resident #2 with function and mood.
Review of Resident #2's electronic medical record from 2/10/2026 to 2/12/2026 reflected there was no
indication the self-inflicted injury incident on 9/16/2025 was reported to the ADM within 24 hours of the
event; nor was it reported to the State Survey Agency not later than 24 hours following the event.
In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:30 PM, the ADM said the facility follows state protocols with reporting
incidents of abuse and neglect. He said there are different incidents that require reporting to the state. The
ADM said if there is an unwitnessed fall and resident can explain what occurred he would not report. He
said witnessed falls would not be reported. The ADM added that unwitnessed falls with injury requiring
hospital transport if resident can say what happened he would not report it. He said suicide attempts or
self-injury incidents he would report. The ADM said if abuse and neglect are not reported it could be
harmful to a resident and their overall health and care at the facility. He said he does not recall the
self-harm incident involving Resident #2 and said he was not aware of the incident from 9/16/2025. The
ADM called DON to join the interview.
In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:35 PM, the DON said she was aware of Resident #2's self-harm incident

said Resident #2 had orders for eye drops that were kept in her room. She said the resident had been
allowed over the counter eye drops to be kept in her room by her bedside. She said the resident was
transported by emergency services to the hospital to undergo a psych evaluation. She said the resident
was cleared the same day and discharged back to the facility. She said the over-the-counter eye drops
order was discontinued the same day and removed from Resident #2's room. The DON said Resident #2
was placed on one-on-one supervision for three days following her return from the hospital. She said
Resident #2 sees therapist weekly and she is stable. The DON said she is being monitored by psych
services and the SW, so she did not believe the incident needed to be reported to the state. She said she
did not recall if this was reported to the ADM after it occurred.
In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:11 PM, the SW said she has been working with Resident #2 for
numerous years and said she knew this incident was more of a cry for help rather than a self-harm attempt.
The SW said the self-harm incident was an acute incident and not part of her baseline, not her day-to-day
behavior. She said Resident #2 does have a history of psychiatric hospitalizations in the past, but working
with her psychiatrist and therapist she had been stable for some time.
In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:58 PM, the MDS Coordinator said she was familiar with Resident #2's
self-injury incident on 9/16/2025 and recalls the resident was sent to the hospital for an evaluation and
psych services and she followed up with resident. She said that Resident #2 was deemed safe by
psychiatrist and hospital, so she did not meet criteria for significant change in status.
Record review of Resident #33's admission Record dated 2/13/2026 reflected an [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included unspecified dementia.
Record review of Resident #33's quarterly MDS submitted 12/5/2025 reflected an unassessed BIMS score
due to the cognitive status of the resident.
Record review of Resident #39's admission Record dated 2/10/2025 reflected a [AGE] year-old female
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included unspecified dementia and traumatic
subdural hemorrhage without loss of consciousness.
Record review of Resident #39's quarterly MDS submitted 10/30/2025 reflected a BIMS score of 03, which
indicated severely impaired cognition. Section E0200 (behavioral symptoms) reflected Resident #39
exhibited physical symptoms towards others 4 to 6 days of the lookback period. Section J1800 indicated
Resident #39 had experienced 0 falls since previous assessment.
Record review of Resident #39's Care Plan Report undated/printed 2/10/2026, revealed the following:

Residents Affected - Some
Record review of the facility incident report dated 2/10/2025 reflected Resident #39 had an incident of
physical aggression initiated on 8/31/2025, and Resident #33 had an incident of physical aggression
received on 8/31/2025.
Record review of the facility incident report titled #3027 Physical Aggression Initiated dated 8/31/2025 at
8:40 AM, reflected the following:
I was walking past nurse's station and observed [Resident #39] ram her rolling walker in to [sic] the legs of
another resident who was sitting in her w/c in the hallway. [Resident #39] is saying in Spanish that this man
is a son of a [expletive].
Resident #39's family member was interviewed on 2/09/2026 at 11:58 AM. She said Resident #39 had
numerous falls over the last year that resulted in bone fractures and bleeding in her brain. She said
Resident #39 becomes very agitated whenever her family is not present, and she is frequently asked by the
staff to come to the facility to monitor Resident #39 for safety. She said Resident #39 is confused and not
able to tell her the circumstances of the falls after they happen.
Attempted interview on 2/09/2026 at 2:12 PM, Resident #33 was unable to participate due to cognitive
decline.
In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 10:29 AM, the DON said she did not report the physical aggression incident
between Resident #33 and #39 on 8/31/2025 to HHSC because the behavior was common for Resident
#39. She said Resident #33 was not injured, and Resident #39 had a known history of physical and verbal
aggression.
In an interview with the ADM on 2/12/2026 at 10:56 AM, he said the physical aggression incident between
Resident #33 and #39 on 8/31/2025 was not reported to HHSC because it did not result in harm. He said
he felt that for an incident to be reportable to HHSC, a resident must have intent to harm another resident
that is not due to confusion or other cognitive decline. He said he felt that his decision to not report the
incident was aligned with the regulatory standards.
In a subsequent interview with the DON on 2/13/2026 at 12:32 PM, she said Resident #39 had a witnessed
fall on 7/25/2025 at 4:30 PM that was attributed to ambulating without her walker. She said that later that
evening, around 10:00 PM, Resident #39 told the nurse that she had fallen again but could not say when or
where, and she had a new bruise on her forehead. Resident #39 was sent to the hospital at that time and
diagnosed with a pelvic fracture and a subdural hemorrhage. She said that the unwitnessed fall reported by
Resident #39 on 7/25/2025 was not reported to HHSC because the resident stated that she fell, and due to
the resident's history of frequent falls, she felt the resident's account of the injury was sufficient to explain
the head injury. She said the pelvic fracture was likely caused by the falls earlier in the day on 7/25/2025.

reflected mental health services and medication management were being provided to assist Resident #2
with function and mood.Review of Resident #2's electronic medical record from 2/10/2026 to 2/12/2026
reflected there was no indication the self-inflicted injury incident on 9/16/2025 was reported to the ADM
within 24 hours of the event; nor was it reported to the State Survey Agency not later than 24 hours
following the event and no indication the facility initiated an investigation of alleged violation of abuse or
neglect.In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:30 PM, the ADM said the facility follows state protocols with
investigating incidents of abuse and neglect. He said suicide attempts or self-injury incidents he would
report and would undergo an investigation. ADM said if abuse and neglect are not reported it could be
harmful to a resident and their overall health and care at the facility. He said he does not recall the
self-harm incident on 9/16/2025 involving Resident #2 and he did not investigate. ADM called DON to join
the interview.In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:35 PM, the DON said she was aware of Resident #2's
self-harm incident on 9/16/2025 as she was notified immediately and she started interventions immediately.
She said Resident #2 had orders for eye drops that were kept in her room. She said the resident had been
allowed over the counter eye drops to be kept in her room by her bedside. She said the resident was
transported by emergency services to the hospital to undergo a psych evaluation. She said the resident
was cleared the same day and discharged back to the facility. She said the over-the-counter eye drops
order was discontinued the same day and removed from Resident #2's room. DON said Resident #2 was
placed on one-on-one supervision for three days following her return from the hospital. She said Resident
#2 sees therapist weekly and she is stable. DON said she is being monitored by psych services and SW, so
she didn't believe the incident needed to be reported to the state and did not require an investigation. She
said she did not recall if this incident was reported to the ADM after it occurred.In an interview on 2/12/2026
at 12:11 PM, the SW said she has been working with Resident #2 for numerous years and said she knew
this self-inflicted injury on 9/16/2025 was more of a cry for help rather than a self-harm attempt. SW said
the self-harm incident was an acute incident and not part of Resident #2's baseline and not her day-to-day
behavior. She said Resident #2 does have a history of psychiatric hospitalizations in the past, but she is
working with her psychiatrist and therapist, and she had been stable for some time now.In an interview on
2/12/2026 at 12:58 PM, the MDS Coordinator said she was familiar with Resident #2's self-injury incident
on 9/16/2025 and recalls the resident was sent to the hospital for an evaluation and psych services and she
followed up with resident. She said that Resident #2 was deemed safe by psychiatrist and hospital, so she
didn't meet criteria for significant change in status assessment.Record review of facility document titled,

understands that accuracy of MDS assessments is needed for any resident to ensure interventions are in
place and to give them the best possible care.In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:11 PM, the SW said she
had been working with Resident #2 for numerous years and said she knew this incident was more of a cry

and significant change in status assessments are required to be accurate and submitted on time. She said
by not completing MDS assessments or significant change in status assessments could negatively impact
care plans and the care provided to a resident. She said that she is required to review 24-hour nursing
notes and attend the nursing management daily meetings for resident changes or incidents from the prior
shift. She said if an incident occurs that may be a significant change she would reach out to the [NAME]
nursing coordinator for assistance and change of condition assessment guidance. She said she was
familiar with Resident #2's self-injury incident on 9/16/2025 and recalls the resident was sent to the hospital
for an evaluation and psych services followed up with resident. She said that Resident #2 was deemed safe
by psychiatrist and hospital, so she didn't meet criteria for significant change in status. The MDS
Coordinator said the self-injury incident was a one-off occurrence and she did not believe this triggers for a
significant change in status assessment. She said Resident #2 would have returned to baseline with staff
help. She said the incident should have been updated in Resident #2's care plan and believes there was a
communication issue. She said she will work on having the care plan updated immediately.In an interview
on 2/12/2026 at 5:28 PM, the DON said the self-injury incident with Resident #2 was a significant change to
her baseline and was an acute psychiatric episode. She said she is not an expert on MDS assessments,
but there are certain criteria that are required to lead to a significant change assessment. She said an RAI

taking antipsychotic, antianxiety, and antidepressant high-risk medications.Review of Resident #2's
electronic medical record from 2/10/2026 to 2/12/2026 reflected that no significant change in status
assessment or interdisciplinary review was completed following a self-inflicting injury/self-harm incident, a
major deviation from Resident #2's established baseline health on 9/16/2025.Review of Resident #2's
electronic medical record from 2/10/2026 to 2/12/2026 reflected that the facility provided Resident #2 with
interventions of mental health services and medication management to assist Resident #2 with function
and mood.In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:30 PM, the DON said she understands accuracy and updates
to care plans are necessary to ensure interventions are in place and to give residents the best possible
care. She said she does not recall why the care plan was not updated for Resident #2 following her
9/16/2025 self-inflicted injury incident.In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:11 PM, the SW said the self-harm
incident for Resident #2 on 9/16/2025 was an acute incident and not part of her baseline, not her
day-to-day behavior. She said Resident #2 did have a history of psychiatric hospitalizations in the past, but
she is working with her psychiatrist and therapist and has been stable for some time.In an interview on
2/12/2026 at 12:58 PM, the MDS Coordinator said significant changes in status assessments and care
plans are required to be accurate and submitted on time. She said by not completing assessments or
significant change in status could negatively impact care plans and the care provided to a resident. She
said that she is required to review 24-hour nursing notes and attend the nursing management daily
meetings for resident changes or incidents from the prior shift. She said if an incident occurs that may be a
significant change she would reach out to the regional nursing coordinator for assistance and change of
condition assessment guidance. She said she was familiar with Resident #2's self-injury incident on
9/16/2025 and recalls the resident was sent to the hospital for an evaluation and psych services followed up
with resident. She said that Resident #2 was deemed safe by psychiatrist and hospital, so she didn't meet
criteria for significant change in status. MDS Coordinator said the self-injury incident was a one-off
occurrence and she did not believe this triggers for a significant change in status assessment. She said
Resident #2 would have returned to baseline with staff help. She said the incident should have been
updated in Resident #2's care plan and believes there was a communication issue. She said she will work
on having the care plan updated immediately.In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:30 PM, the ADM said
suicide attempts or self-injury incidents are to be investigated. He said he does not recall being informed of
this incident and referred me to the DON for more details.In an interview on 2/11/2026 at 6:35 PM, the DON
said she was aware of Resident #2's self-harm incident on 9/16/2025 as she was notified immediately and
she started interventions immediately. She

She said the resident was cleared the same day and discharged back to the facility. She said the
over-the-counter eye drops order was discontinued the same day and removed from Resident #2's room.
The DON said Resident #2 was placed on one-on-one supervision for three days following her return from
the hospital. She said Resident #2 sees therapist weekly and she is stable. The DON said that this
self-inflicted injury incident should have been care planned for Resident #2 and I would need to speak to
the MDS Coordinator for further details.In an interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:11 PM, the SW said she has
been working with Resident #2 for numerous years and said she knew this self-inflicted injury on 9/16/2025
was more of a cry for help rather than a self-harm attempt. The SW said the self-harm incident was an
acute incident and not part of Resident #2's baseline and not her day-to-day behavior. She said Resident
#2 has had other incidents in the past that were acute, many that were brought on from a urinary tract
infection. She said Resident #2 does have a history of psychiatric hospitalizations in the past, but she is
working with her psychiatrist and therapist, and she had been stable for some time now.In an interview on
2/12/2026 at 5:28 PM, the DON said the self-injury incident with Resident #2 was a significant change to
her baseline and was an acute psychiatric episode. She said Resident #2 should have been care planned

up with the MDS Coordinator for more information.Record review of facility document titled, Care Plans,
