CNA15 stated R67's arm was still swollen when CNA15 came into work the following day, and they informed LPN9 immediately.

LPN9's Witness Statement revealed they asked CNA15 to notify the UM since they were working on the medication cart. LPN9's Witness Statement revealed they overheard CNA15 asking the UM to look at R67.

LPN9's Witness Statement revealed they were never made aware of any concern or follow-up needed with R67. During an interview on 04/29/26 at 3:11 PM, LPN2 stated they had never heard R67 complain of pain and had never seen the resident grimace. LPN2 stated she was not aware that there was an issue with R67 until the morning of Monday, 03/30/26, when the CNA asked her to look at the resident's arm. LPN2 stated that when she saw R67's arm, it looked swollen, but the resident did not display any facial expressions of pain. LPN2 stated she did not do any type of assessment on the resident. LPN2 stated that when the situation was discussed with the UM, she learned it was known since Friday, 03/27/26 that R67's arm was swollen. During an interview on 04/29/26 at 3:20 PM, the UM stated that on 03/27/26 CNA15 reported a concern with a resident (not R67), and the NP saw the resident and did not see any concerns. The UM stated that when CNA15 later asked if they had looked at R67's arm, she pointed out to CNA15 that they had given a different resident's name earlier. She said that CNA15 apologized and confirmed that they needed to look at R67's arm. The UM stated that when the NP was notified of the correct resident, the NP gave orders to monitor the resident and stated they would assess R67 when they came back to the building the next Tuesday (03/31/26). The UM stated they were not sure whether the assigned nurse did an assessment of R67. The UM stated that monitoring meant observing the resident and assessing pain. The UM stated that they did not perform any type of assessment themselves as the assigned nurse was responsible for doing the assessment. The UM stated no one reported anything else regarding R67 that day. The UM stated they came in for about three hours over the weekend to assist with medication administration, and during that time no one made them aware the resident was having any pain or swelling. During an interview on 04/29/26 at 3:43 PM, CNA15 stated they were very particular with positioning residents, so when they came in around 6:30 AM (on 03/27/26) to make rounds, they noticed R67 was positioned awkwardly and picking at their arm. CNA15 stated that after showering and dressing R67, the resident kept picking at their arm. CNA15 stated R67's arm looked different, so they let LPN9 know. CNA15 stated LPN9 instructed them to tell the UM because they (the UM) would be the one to notify the doctor. CNA15 stated a few hours later it was determined the wrong resident was observed. CNA15 stated they used a pillow to prop up R67's arm. During an interview on 04/30/26 at 9:54 AM, LPN9 stated that on 03/27/26 there were three nurses completing medication pass, she was assigned to Medication Cart 3, and she was not assigned to R67. LPN9 stated a CNA approached her and requested that she assess R67, and she informed the CNA that the UM was assigned to R67's cart. LPN9 stated that later the CNA returned to the UM to inquire what actions had been taken regarding R67. LPN9 stated she cared for R67 during the afternoon of 03/27/26 and throughout the remainder of the weekend. LPN9 stated she did not become aware which arm was swollen until Monday, 03/30/26. LPN9 stated the swelling involved the resident's left arm, which was positioned closest to the wall. LPN9 stated the resident did not appear to be grimacing or exhibiting signs of pain, and the resident was quiet and watched television. LPN9 stated that while providing care, she approached the resident from the right side due to the resident's PEG tube placement. LPN9 stated she had no reason to assess the resident's left arm because the UM had not communicated any concerns regarding the arm during report. LPN9 stated that several days later, she asked the UM whether the resident's arm had ever been assessed, and the UM responded that the arm did not appear swollen. During an interview on 04/30/26 at 10:27 AM, LPN13 stated she was caring for R67 (on 03/30/26) when, at approximately 10:00 AM, a CNA informed her that the R67's left upper limb appeared swollen. LPN13 stated she observed visible swelling of R67's left upper limb, and the resident was uncomfortable. LPN13 stated she contacted the NP and reported that R67's left upper extremity appeared swollen and that the resident seemed uncomfortable. LPN13 stated that the NP instructed her to order tests, and the radiology department completed testing that revealed R67 had sustained a fracture. LPN13 stated she was instructed to send the resident to the hospital immediately. LPN13 stated she had cared for R67 on Thursday, 03/26/26, and at that time the resident was at their baseline without swelling or pain. During an interview on 04/30/26 at 11:26 AM, the UM stated she was not responsible for completing the assessment on R67, as the assigned nurse was responsible for performing the assessment. During a follow-up interview on 05/01/26 at 11:01 AM, the UM stated she assisted with medication administration on Friday, 03/27/26 and Saturday, 03/28/26. The UM stated that if an issue arose with a resident, either she or the assigned nurse could have completed the assessment. The UM further stated that if there was a change in condition, she or another member of management would follow up to ensure an assessment was completed. The UM stated she was unsure why an assessment was not completed for R67. The UM stated LPN9 was the floor nurse, and her expectation was that LPN9 would have completed the assessment for R67 on 03/27/26. The UM stated that the incorrect resident information had initially been provided to the NP. The UM stated that when she contacted the NP again with the correct resident information, the NP instructed staff to monitor R67 and stated she would follow up on Tuesday, 03/31/26. The UM stated monitoring included observing R67's arm for any irritation and following up regarding complaints of pain. During an interview on 04/30/26 at 1:02 PM, the NP stated that when a resident had a change in condition, she expected staff to report it to her. The NP stated she was initially informed of a resident that had experienced arm swelling; however, the resident she assessed did not have any swelling. The NP stated she was notified on Monday, 03/30/26, regarding the correct resident, R67, and she did not recall being notified otherwise. The NP stated when she received a text message from the floor nurse reporting that R67 had arm swelling and was holding their arm crying, she ordered a stat (statim, immediately, at once) x-ray because she wanted the results as soon as possible. The NP stated later that evening she was notified that R67 had a fracture, and she ordered the resident to be sent out for further evaluation. The NP stated she believed R67's fracture may have been pathological due to the resident's comorbidities. During a follow-up interview on 05/01/26 at 12:15 PM, the NP stated that when R67's swelling was reported to her on Monday, 03/30/26, she ordered a doppler and x-ray, and, if she had received that call on Friday she likely would have provided the same order.

This week I'm here. I actually was in another building this week, then I got pulled from it, so I can be here this week because I got three (3) buildings to manage. All three buildings started at around the same time. So, I'm trying to get training for all of the employees. He went on to state, Honestly, I haven't had time to really sit down and work with the ones that are here. I hired a couple managers for the other buildings. I was providing them with training.

I have hired a new Manager for this building but will not start until the second week of May. I'm just trying to think. I can't remember what day, but I know it's after May 6, the week after May 6. I guess that's what he/she said, the week after May 6 she can start. So, I have a manager for this building, and I have managers for the other two buildings. I've been pulling out to go help out. I just had them to start on their own because they couldn't do their part, so I've done the 2 other buildings. Those two managers are training those employees right now, so I'm here training trying to help train these people when I get time.

The DON stated there was no policy regarding following Physician's Orders. On 4/15/25 at 11:30 a.m. observation during the initial tour revealed the resident was self-propelling in a wheelchair (w/c) and wearing weather-appropriate clothing with non-skid shoes. During the observation, an interview was conducted and the resident verbalized that staff treated him/her like crap and stated that he/she was unable to get needed assistance. Review of the clinical record for R2 revealed: admitted : 7/20/20 Readmitted : 5/28/24 Diagnoses: Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia, and Hemiparesis The resident's most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) with Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 3/6/25 noted a Brief Interview Mental Status (BIMS) score of 8 which indicated moderately impaired cognition.
