RN #356 further reported she was unclear why the Administrator selected physical abuse and not sexual abuse but speculated that at the time of the entry prior to full investigation it was unclear on if the allegations were physical abuse due to resident stating she was hit in the face or if allegations were sexual abuse and the allegation of sexual abuse was not determined until full investigation was completed.Interview on 03/19/26 at 4:00 P.M. with the ADON #216 confirmed that the Administrator was aware on 03/10/26 of the alleged incident of staff to resident sexual abuse.

F684J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY. Based on closed record review, hospital documentation review, review of a facility investigation, review of video footage, policy review and interviews, the facility failed to timely and comprehensively assess, notify a physician, and provide timely and necessary care and services to Resident #22 after she complained of hip pain as a result of a dislocated right hip. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and Actual Harm beginning on 07/21/25 at 1:10 A.M. when Resident #22 voiced complaints of pain and staff continued to provide personal care, assisting the resident into her bathroom and transferred the resident to bed without first assessing the resident. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #113 administered a dose of as needed narcotic pain medication but failed to comprehensively assess the resident related to the pain. On 07/21/25 at 2:01 A.M. review of video footage revealed staff entered Resident #22's room to attempt to place a hip abductor wedge at which time the resident yelled out in pain upon movement of her leg. Staff exited the room and per video footage they did not return until 5:05 A.M. Video footage revealed Resident #22 was yelling out and at 5:11 A.M., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #168 removed blankets from Resident #22, who had a visibly severe internal rotation to her leg, and began to undress the resident as the resident was screaming in pain. CNA #168 did not stop undressing Resident #22 and proceeded to re-dress her as Resident #22 was observed on video screaming in pain. At 5:18 A.M., CNA #169 and LPN #113 entered Resident #22's room and assisted CNA #168 to stand-pivot Resident #22 to her wheelchair as the resident was screaming. Resident #22 remained out of her room in the wheelchair until 10:56 A.M., when CNA #145, Physical Therapist (PT) #260, and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) #250 transferred Resident #22 from her wheelchair into her bed using a gait belt and attempted a stand/pivot transfer. Resident #22 was briefly seated at the edge of bed while crying out. An x-ray was subsequently ordered. On 07/21/25 at 1:51 P.M. Radiology Technician (RT) #400 expressed concern about the image captured (noting the dislocation of the resident's hip). Emergency Medical Transportation (EMT) was called and arrived at 2:58 P.M. Resident #22 left the facility at 3:16 P.M. to be taken to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a dislocated right hip requiring surgical intervention. This affected one resident (#22) of four residents reviewed for falls. The facility census was 86. On 08/19/25 at 3:03 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON) #141 and #185, Regional Clinician (RC) #300 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 07/21/25 at 1:10 A.M. when Resident #22 voiced complaints of hip pain that was not comprehensively or adequately assessed and treated. Between 1:10 A.M. and 10:56 A.M. Resident #22 continued to complain of severe pain to the hip area captured on video footage of the resident screaming and crying out due to the pain while staff proceeded to manipulate/move the leg providing routine care. An x-ray was not obtained until 1:51 P.M. which confirmed the hip dislocation. The resident was not transferred to the hospital until 07/21/25 at 3:16 P.M. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 07/21/25 and the deficiency subsequently corrected on 07/26/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions. On 07/21/25 at 2:40 P.M., preliminary results of Resident #22's x-ray were reported to Physician #230 by Registered Nurse (RN) #127. Physician #230 ordered Resident #22 to be transferred to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Physician #225 was updated by RN # 127. The resident was transferred to the hospital on [DATE] at 3:16 P.M. and did not return to the facility following the hospitalization. On 07/21/25 at 2:40 P.M. Resident #22's family/responsible party was notified by RN #127. On 07/22/25 at 4:00 P.M.

By 0/25/25, 18 RNs, 13 LPNs and 40 CNAs were re-educated by DON #141, DON # 185, and the Administrator on expectations for monitoring new surgical sites. This re-education included that nursing would assess for signs/symptoms of dislocation, increased pain, deformity, and/or misalignment and notify the physician of relative abnormalities; and that a resident with suspected fracture/dislocation must be assessed immediately by a nurse and physician notified without delay. Beginning on 07/26/25, five (5) residents were reviewed weekly for two (2) weeks by DON #141 and or LPN #132, on ensuring proper identification and assessment (e.g. vital signs, ROM, verbal interview, etc.) of residents with any changes in condition following injuries, complaints of severe pain, or suspected fractures/dislocations; on ensuring notification to physician of findings and prompt notification to responsible party; and on following the proper chain of command if a nurse failed to respond promptly.

Resident #22 was unable to bear weight so CNA #168 and LPN #113 lifted her off the ground while CNA #169 moved the wheelchair into place. While in the air, Resident #22's legs were turned in at abnormal angles. Once seated in wheelchair, Resident #22 stopped crying. CNA #168 took Resident #22's shirt off to help her finish getting ready and redressed her. (There was no evidence Resident #22 was assessed in regard to her continued complaints of pain). Review of a Medication Administration Record (MAR) for July 2025 revealed Resident #22 received a dose of as needed tramadol 50 mg at 1:22 A.M. on 07/21/25 which was documented as effective. However, there was no evidence a comprehensive assessment of the resident's pain to include location, quality, intensity, onset, duration, aggravating/alleviating factor was completed related to the use of the as needed narcotic pain medication was completed at that time.
