Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the radiology report identifying a non-displaced fracture (break in the continuity of the bone) at distal ulnar diaphysis were appropriately communicated to the physician for one of three residents reviewed for falls (Resident 1). This failure had the potential to result in delayed provision of appropriate interventions which could have adversely impacted Resident 1's health status. Resident 1 was transferred to the general acute care hospital (GACH) on July 16, 2026 (2 days after the radiology report came out).Findings:On July 27, 2026, at 12:01 p.m., an unannounced visit to the facility was conducted to investigate a complaint for a quality-of-care issue.A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated resident was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses which included aftercare following surgical above the knee amputation left limb, diabetes mellitus type 2 (a chronic condition that affects the way the body uses sugar.

During a concurrent interview with Resident 1 with a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 1) present at bedside to assist in translating in Spanish, Resident 1 stated that she fell in the bathroom, and was unable to reach the call light, but her roommate called for help. She stated that the staff assisted her back to bed and an x-ray of her left arm was taken. Resident 1 stated she did not feel pain until after a couple of hours after the incident and worsened over two days. She stated she informed the nurse and she was taken to the hospital, where a splint and medication were provided for the fracture.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure: 1. Physician orders with parameters were followed when medications were administered without documenting the systolic blood pressure for one of three residents reviewed after medication pass observation. This failure had the potential for residents to inadvertently receive medications when they need to be held according to the physician's orders. 2. medications contained in the medication carts were not discontinued or discharged and not stored in the cart along with active residents' medications. This failure had the potential for discontinued medications to be used as not intended; 3. there was accurate accounting of Scheduled II controlled substances (federal designation of a class/classes of medications with the highest addictive potential) to minimize misuse and abuse when one dose of Resident 58's generic Norco (potent opioid used to treat severe pain) 5 mg was removed from the blister card without documentation of administration in the resident's medical record. 4.
