Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure that a licensed nurse completed a timely assessment and intervention in response to an acute change in condition for a resident identified as high risk for bleeding due to anticoagulant therapy. This verifies a complaint that the facility failed to provide care in noncompliance with 42 CFR S483.25 (Quality of Care - F0684).Entry: 10/06/2025 at 12:00 PMFacility Census: 137RE: FRI #2561221Status: Verified- The facility failed to ensure that a licensed nurse completed a timely assessment and intervention in response to an acute change in condition for a resident identified as high risk for bleeding due to anticoagulant therapy.Date Complaint Received: 07/12/2025 at 8:38 AMAllegation Date (per complainant): 05/12/15 at 5:38 PMAllegation Summary:Resident #160 experienced a prolonged nosebleed that was not promptly or properly treated.Staff allegedly provided only washcloths and ice.Complainant states the nurse could not respond due to excessive patient load.A staff member told the complainant that anything positive I've heard about the facility lied to me.Complainant expresses fear of the hospital returning the resident to the facility.Investigation Actions:Record review showed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, morbid obesity (BMI 65.8), muscle weakness, and atrial fibrillation. The resident was prescribed Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) 20 mg daily for atrial fibrillation, which placed her at increased risk for bleeding.The record showed the resident received intravenous fluids on 07/10/2025 and had a complete blood count and comprehensive metabolic panel (CBC/CMP) completed on 07/11/2025. On 07/12/2025 at 14:41, the facility generated a skilled nursing note documenting that the resident was receiving oxygen at 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula and had diminished lung sounds. Review of the facility Kardex for that date showed multiple routine CNA and nursing tasks listed as Canceled-Requires documentation.The facility's discharge summary was dated 07/12/2025 but was revised on 08/13/2025. The record did not contain contemporaneous nursing documentation or assessment corresponding to the family-reported episode of active nasal bleeding that began at approximately 17:38 on 07/12/2025. No change-in-condition assessment, vital signs, or licensed-nurse follow-up was documented related to this episode. Progress notes indicated the resident later contacted emergency medical services and was transported to the hospital.Review of the oxygen saturation log showed the resident's last documented reading was 97% on room air at 16:08 on 07/12/2025. No subsequent oxygen saturation readings or respiratory assessments were documented following the onset of the reported nosebleed at approximately 17:38. The facility failed to reassess and document the resident's oxygenation status following an acute change in condition involving active bleeding in a resident with a history of respiratory failure, while receiving oxygen therapy at three liters per minute via nasal cannula.Review of the physician order summary for 07/01/2025-10/31/2025 revealed no new orders were entered on or after 07/12/2025 related to the resident's reported nosebleed or subsequent hospital transfer. The last clinical order was for laboratory testing completed on 07/11/2025. The record contained no provider orders for nasal care, respiratory monitoring, or change-in-condition evaluation. The absence of any new physician orders during or following the reported acute event indicates the facility failed to assess, notify, and obtain medical direction in response to a significant change in condition for a resident at high risk for bleeding.Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed rivaroxaban (Xarelto) 20 mg administered on 07/12/2025 at 17:00 hours by LPN C. [NAME] for atrial fibrillation. The reported onset of epistaxis occurred at approximately 17:38 hours, less than one hour after the scheduled anticoagulant dose. No PRN medications for nasal hemostasis (e.g., oxymetazoline, saline gel), oxygen humidification, or change-in-condition interventions were documented during or after the bleeding episode. The MAR contained no documentation of vital-sign reassessment, physician notification, or new treatment orders following the event.The Order Summary (07/01/2025-10/31/2025) reflected no new provider orders entered on or after 07/12/2025, and the Discharge Summary contained no contemporaneous nursing assessment or documentation of the acute episode.At 16:01 hours, the facility Administrator stated to the surveyor that the resident was only here for four days - we didn't do a change of condition. The Administrator further explained that staff do verbal shift change and that there was no log for physician communication. When asked about the duration and severity of the bleeding, the Administrator stated, I don't think it was a bad nosebleed.The surveyor explained that according to the complainant, the resident's family reported active bleeding lasting approximately one hour and that the resident was receiving anticoagulant medication, which increases the risk for prolonged or uncontrolled bleeding. The Administrator did not provide documentation of any nursing assessment, physician notification, or change-of-condition report related to the incident. The administrator sighed and stated that she placed a call in to the nurse on duty on the evening of 07/12/2025 during the time of the event. During an interview conducted on 10/07/2025, RN #19 stated that she was assigned to a different wing than the resident on the evening of 07/12/2025. She stated that at approximately 17:38 hours, she was called to the resident's unit and informed that the resident was experiencing a nosebleed. RN #19 stated, someone ordered ice for the resident, and that care staff were holding ice on the bridge of the resident's nose. She stated that she then returned to passing medications on her assigned wing. Some time later, she was notified that the resident's nose was still bleeding and that the family wanted the physician to consult with the resident again. Shortly afterward, prior to the physician seeing the resident, RN #19 was informed that the family was not satisfied with the care being provided and had contacted EMS to transfer the resident to the hospital for evaluation.This surveyor asked RN #91 if the facility had been short-staffed on the evening of 07/12/2025. RN #91 stated that the facility was short-handed due to staff call-ins, and that it was common practice to pull nurses from other wings for coverage when call-offs occurred. The facility's staffing sheet for that date reflected an HPPD of 2.5, consistent with reduced licensed-nurse coverage.Attempts to reach the former resident via phone were unsuccessfully attempted on 10/6/2025 at 4:30 PM, 10/7/2025 at 10:00 AM, at 1:00 PM, and 3:30 PM. There was no means to leave a message. These findings demonstrate that the facility failed to assess, notify, and obtain treatment orders for an anticoagulated resident experiencing active bleeding.Conclusion:The facility failed to ensure that a licensed nurse completed a timely assessment and intervention in response to an acute change in condition for a resident identified as high risk for bleeding due to anticoagulant therapy. The absence of a documented change-in-condition assessment, vital signs, and provider notification during a reported episode of prolonged bleeding demonstrates the facility's failure to provide the necessary care and services to maintain the resident's highest practicable physical well-being, in noncompliance with 42 CFR S483.25 (Quality of Care - F0684).

Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to protect Resident #39's right to be free from sexual abuse. This was true for one (1) out of five (5) resident-to-resident altercations reviewed during the complaint process. Facility census: 135. Resident identifiers: #39 and #137. The facility's failure to follow their abuse policy and recognize the incident as an occurrence of resident-to-resident sexual abuse placed an unlimited number of residents currently residing in the facility at risk for possible abuse. The state agency determined this was an immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation. a) An electronic medical review, completed on 05/21/24 at 9:45 AM, revealed the following details: -RN Unit Manager #28 documented in a nursing note, dated 02/14/24 at 9:04 AM, At 0150 [1:50] this AM, Staff entered resident's room and observed Resident [#137] on top of roommate [Resident #39] naked, making humping motion, and attempting to remove roommates [roommate's] gown and incontinence brief. -RN Unit Manager #28 documented in nursing note, dated 02/14/24 at 6:59 AM, Aide alarmed this nurse about resident being sexually inappropriate with resident in room. The note also indicated written statements by aides would be given to supervisor on duty. -The only written statement on file was from Nurse Aide (NA) #6 who reported NA #210 requested help in the resident room. NA #6 stated she saw Resident #137 was completely nude and was trying to rip Resident #39's brief off. She also documented she changed Resident #39's bed sheets because Resident #137 had peed on his top sheet. -Review of Resident #137's care plan reflected the facility did not address inappropriate sexual behaviors. -Review of Resident #39's care plan reflected the facility did not address possible trauma from the experience. A record review was completed on 05/21/24 at 9:22 AM. The facility noted the date and time of the incident as happening on 02/14/24 at 1:50 AM. The facility provided the following description of the incident: Resident #137 was observed being sexually inappropriate with roommate (Resident #39). Residents were separated. Resident #39 was moved to a different wing. The facility's five (5) follow-up report outlined the following investigative details: -Resident #137 [the perpetrator] was an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Dementia, Paranoid Personality Disorder, Hallucinations, Depression, and anxiety disorder. He had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 09 which is indicative of moderate cognitive impairment. -Resident #39 [the victim] was a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, and Depression. He had a BIMS of 01 which is indicative of severe cognitive impairment. -It was reported on 02/14/24 at approximately 2:00 AM a staff member noticed movement in the residents' room. Upon entering the room, the staff member found Resident #137 on top of Resident #39 and appeared to be trying to have sex with him. Resident #39 was dressed in a hospital gown and had an adult brief on. The staff immediately told Resident #137 to get off of him and that it was inappropriate. Staff assisted Resident #137 in getting dressed and removed him from the room to the nurses' station where he could be monitored. -Resident #39 was assessed, and no injuries were found. He showed no signs of emotional distress. -Upon completion of the investigation, the facility did not substantiate abuse occurred because of the incident due to Resident #137 did not have the capacity for intent. Interview with Social Worker -During an interview, completed on 05/21/24 at 10:58 AM, Social Worker #59 when asked to describe sexual abuse described it as, Anything that is uninvited. When asked if he had ever been trained to use the reasonable person concept when investigating complaints, Social Worker #59 stated he had not. By definition, a reasonable person concept would involve a case where a resident was unable to speak for themselves. The investigative team should assess how most people would react to the situation in question. Additionally, Social Worker #59 agreed there could be situations of abuse that do not result in an observable physical injury, or the psychosocial effects of abuse may not be immediately apparent. The social worker agreed that Resident #39 had a BIMS of 01 which would make it unlikely he would be able to speak about how the incident affected him. A resident with such severe cognitive impairment cannot usually recall what has occurred, or may not express outward signs of physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Social Worker #59 agreed that neither physical marks on the body nor the ability to respond and/or verbalize was needed to conclude that sexual abuse/assault had occurred. During an interview, at approximately 11:20 AM on 05/21/24, the Administrator stated the facility did not substantiate resident-to-resident sexual abuse occurred as a result of the incident due to the fact Resident #137 did not have the capacity for intent. When explaining if there was an instance where a resident did not wish to engage in sexual activity with another resident that the facility must respond to it as an alleged violation of sexual abuse, the DON questioned how the facility would know if it was unwanted since they had no way of knowing Resident #39's sexual preference prior to his cognitive decline. The Surveyor explained that the expectation was if the resident did not have capacity to consent to sexual activity, the facility should always respond to it as an alleged violation of sexual abuse. Using a reasonable person concept, it could be assumed that a nude person climbing on top of you in the middle of the night, humping you, and attempting to remove your clothing would be considered sexually inappropriate and would reasonably cause anyone to have psychosocial harm. The Administrator and DON confirmed that neither resident's care plan had been updated to reflect the need to monitor Resident #137 more closely or to offer Resident #39 any trauma services. The resident-to-resident sexual abuse occurred on 02/14/24 at 1:50 AM. The facility was notified of the IJ on 05/21/24 at 12:10 PM. The State Office approved the facility's Plan of Correction (POC) at 5:54 PM on 05/21/24. After observation, staff interview, review of facility documentation, and record review determining the implementation of the POC, the IJ was abated at 1:00 PM on 05/22/24. The IJ started on 2/14/24 at 1:50 AM and ended on 05/22/24 at 1:00 PM. The facility's approved abatement POC consisted of the following: On 05/21/24 at 1:45 P.M. one on one education for staff present and via phone call for staff not present was provided related to the facility abuse policy, which included what abuse was and reporting requirements, including sexual and verbal abuse was initiated by the Director of Education for all 175 employees.

No new concerns were identified by the facility following these interviews. On 05/21/24 from 1:45 P.M. to 3:15 P.M. skin inspections were performed by RN Unit Manager #1, RN Unit Manager #1, RN Skin Nurse, and ADON for 87 residents who do not have capacity. No abnormalities were found by the staff completing the inspections.
