An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 08/21/25 at 2:23 PM. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 2:51 PM. While the IJ was removed on 8/22/2025 at 2:51pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy and a scope of isolated, because all staff had not been trained on 08/22/2025. This failure could place residents at risk of not having their family and physicians notified of changes resulting in a delay in decision making for medical interventions.The Findings include:Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE]. Resident #1 had a medical history of periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic right knee joint (a bone break that occurs around a knee replacement implant), dementia (a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life), gout (a painful form of inflammatory arthritis that happens when uric acid crystals build up in the joints), and age-related osteoporosis (a bone disease that makes bones weak and brittle, leading to an increased risk of fractures). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS dated [DATE], Section C-Cognitive Patterns revealed Resident #1 had a BIMS of 4 which indicated Resident #1 had severe cognitive impairment. Record review of Section GGFunctional Abilities revealed Resident #1 required Supervision or touching assistance with chair/bed-to chair transfers and sit to stand.Record review of Resident #1's care plan revealed a focus initiated on 4/29/2025 [Resident#1] is at risk for acute/chronic pain r/t [related to] gout with an intervention to anticipate need for pain relief and respond immediately to any complaint. The care plan also revealed a focus initiated on 8/21/2025, [Resident #1] has a fracture of the right distal femur (the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), specifically the area just above the knee joint) related to hearing a pop during transfer and interventions initiated on 8/21/2025 revealed Anticipate and meet needs, be sure call light is within reach and respond promptly to all request for assistance, change surgical incision dressing as per order and PRN(as needed), follow weight bearing orders per MD order, reposition as necessary to prevent skin breakdown, therapy evaluation and treatment per orders. Record review of Resident #1's document titled Physical Therapy Treatment Encounter Note(s) dated 8/7/2025 at 4:00pm, revealed Pt (patient) STS (sit to stand) and stand pivot with CGA ( Contact Guard Assist, describes a level of assistance where a therapist or caregiver has their hands on the patient to provide physical support and balance for tasks like walking or standing, even though the patient performs most of the activity) /[NAME] (minimum assistance)Record (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.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents were free from neglect for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for neglect in that: 1. CNA C neglected to notify LVN A or any licensed nurse of Resident #1's incident on 8/7/2025, that resulted in a broken distal femur. 2. The facility neglected to ensure Resident #1's pain was adequately assessed and treated for approximately 12 hours on 8/7/2025-8/8/2025, after Resident #1 reported having pain to her right knee following an incident with CNA C. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 08/21/25 at 2:23 PM. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 2:51 PM. While the IJ was removed on 8/22/2025 at 2:51pm, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy and a scope of isolated, because all staff had not been trained on 08/22/2025. This failure placed residents at risk for neglect, mental anguish, pain and emotional distress.The Findings include:Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE]. Resident #1 had a medical history of periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic right knee joint (a bone break that occurs around a knee replacement implant), dementia (a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life), gout (a painful form of inflammatory arthritis that happens when uric acid crystals build up in the joints), and age-related osteoporosis (a bone disease that makes bones weak and brittle, leading to an increased risk of fractures).
