In an interview on 02/25/2025 at 10:18am with Family Member D revealed she visited Resident #1 on
08/29/2024 and there were no concerns. Family Member D stated when she visited Resident #1 on
09/03/24, Resident #1 had a large deep purple bruise on her right arm. Family Member D stated she asked
LVN E to look at the bruise. Family Member D stated LVN E stated the DON would be informed and Family
Member D would be contacted. Family Member D stated CNA A came into the room and stated the bruise
was noticed a few days ago and it was reported to LVN C. Family Member D stated she contacted the DON
on 09/05/24, due to not receiving a call 09/04/24, and the DON stated she did not know anything about the
issues and was not informed by any facility staff members.
An attempted interview with Resident #1 on 02/25/25 at 11:05am revealed Resident #1 responded to
questions with rambling speech. Resident #1's rambling speech continued on-going during the interview.
Resident #1 was observed sitting up in bed and the call light within reach. No visible injuries observed.
An interview with CNA A on 02/25/25 at 2:28pm revealed he has worked at the facility for 7 years. CNA A
revealed he noticed a bruise on Resident #1's forearm and LVN 1 was informed immediately. CNA A stated
he has worked at the facility for 7 years. CNA A stated abuse should be reported as soon as it happens to
the DON or Administrator. CNA A stated he probably should have informed the Administrator but informed
the charge nurse instead.
Telephone interview with LVN C on 02/27/25 at 8:05am revealed CNA A did not inform him of the bruise.
LVN C stated had he been informed; he would have followed protocol. LVN C stated the protocol included
notifying the family, the DON, completing a skin assessment and incident report. LVN C stated abuse was
reported immediately to the DON and Administrator.
An interview with the DON on 02/27/25 at 3:58pm revealed she spoke with Family Member D but was
unsure when. The DON stated CNA A stated LVN C was informed of the bruise but was unsure if LVN C
heard him. The DON stated the interim Administrator was informed of the bruise on 09/05/24. The DON
stated the protocol for injury of unknown origin was the CNA reported to the nurse, who assessed the
resident, an incident report was completed, and the physician and family members were notified. The DON
stated Resident #1 was on blood thinners and she flails her arms, and the assumption was Resident #1
may have hit the side rail of the bed. The DON stated the risk of staff failure to report an injury of unknow
origin was delayed time with resolution of injury/treatment.

employment and training started the end of September with the interim Administrator. The Administrator
stated he was unaware of Resident #1's bruise and unsure if the interim Administrator was aware. The
Administrator stated the expectation was notification of a bruise that is out of the ordinary, what it is and
where the bruise is located to find the root cause of the bruise. The Administrator stated the lack of
notification was concerning and it is an opportunity for education for the staff on reporting abuse.
Record review of the facility's policy titled, Investigating Resident Injuries, revised April 2021, reflected all
resident injuries are investigated. The director of nursing services or a designee
