F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 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].

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 on 9/16/2025 as she was notified immediately and she started interventions immediately.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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.

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: 8/31/25- physical aggression initiated, redirected, anticipate needs, encourage resident to talk in a calm manner, listen, follow protocols/policy of facility (date initiat4ed 10/23/2025) 7/25/25- fall w injury, sent to Hosp w hospital admission [DATE]- 7/29/25) .

New order received to send resident out to ER for eval. DON notified of incident. POA [family member] notified. 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.

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.
