Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to notify local authorities of a suspicious
injury for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for injuries of unknown origin in that:
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #1 had an injury of unknown origin
The facility failed to implement their policy by not reporting suspicions of abuse for a resident with injuries of
unknown source.
This failure could place residents at risk for potential criminal activity without consequences
The findings included:
A record review of Resident #31's face sheet dated 08/30/21 revealed an original admission date of
08/30/21 with diagnoses including COPD, Respiratory failure with hypoxia, emphysema, anxiety,
immunodeficiency, heart failure, falls, muscle wasting and weakness, and osteoporosis.
A record review of Resident #1's MDS dated [DATE] documented a BIMS of 12, indicating moderate
cognitive impairment.
A record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 08/31/21 documented the risk for bruising related to the
use of anticoagulants with an initiation date of 09/02/23. Resident #1 had a risk for falls related to a history
of falls created on 08/31/21. Resident #1 had a terminal condition and was placed on hospice care on with
an initiation date of 08/27/21.
A record review of the facility provider investigation summary and conclusion dated 09/08/23 revealed the
morning of 09/02/23 Resident #1 was interviewed and could not recall how the raised area to her head and
discoloration occurred. Resident #1 denied being struck on the head or any additional falls. Resident #1
was on Plavix & aspirin and the size of the discoloration could have been exacerbated as a result of the
anticoagulant properties of these medications. Resident #1 also had episodes of confusion due to chronic
respiratory failure, COPD, and emphysema which contribute to low oxygen saturation levels, along with
compliance with oxygen use per nasal cannula. The facility was unable to definitively determine the cause
of the discoloration of Resident #1's arm/eye/raised area to the forehead but Resident #1 likely hit her head
on the enabler bar that was recently attached to her bed by hospice and subsequently removed by hospice
for a smaller one.
A record review of the nurse's notes dated 03/06/23 to 09/07/23 documented that Resident #1 had multiple
falls due to self-transfers.

F 0607
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
An observation of Resident #1 on 09/08/23 at 8:05 am revealed a frail, small female with oxygen on and
sitting on the bedside feeding herself. There was bruising to Resident #1's face with bilateral black eyes and
bruising across the bridge of the nose. Resident #1 was alert and oriented and did not know how she
attained the bruising to her face. There was a fall mat next to her bed, she wore non-skid socks, and the
bed was in its lowest position with a scoop mattress. Her room was neat and tidy without obstructions.
There was a sign on her wall reminding her to call for assistance when getting out of bed.
Interviews with the ADON and DON on 09/06/23 at 11:40 am stated the LVN A caring for her saw no
bruising on the night of 09/01/23, then saw a bump on Resident #1's right forehead the morning of
09/02/23.
A telephone interview with the HOS on 09/06/23 from 3:42 pm to 4:18 pm revealed she spoke with the
ADM regarding the unknown injury to Resident #1 and was prompted to report to the state after speaking
with their corporate nurse because the bruising to Resident #1's face was of an unknown origin. The HOS
stated everything changed over the last week or so, (meaning the resident was more paranoid, confused,
hallucinating, and was more agitated) and hospice thought Resident #1 may have been transitioning
(meaning near death). The HOS stated she did not think the facility was at fault, and that maybe Resident
#1 rolled herself into the side rail.
An interview with the LVN A on 09/07/23 at 7:25 a.m. revealed she initially saw Resident #1 on 09/01/23
around 11:00 p.m. and did not notice any bruising. The LVN A stated around 6:00 am on 09/02/23, she saw
a bump on Resident #1's right forehead but no discoloration to the right eye, and she notified Hospice and
the DON. LVN A stated Resident #1 could not recall how the raised area to her head and discoloration
occurred and denied being struck on the head or any additional falls.
An interview with the ADM on 09/08/23 at 8:35 a.m. revealed he did not call local authorities regarding the
suspicious injury on Resident #1's head. The ADM stated he did not call the local authorities because he
did not think he needed to.
