R1, a cognitively impaired and dependent resident, was observed by a staff member with a visible head injury on 4/22/26 at approximately 6:00 AM and failed to inform the nursing staff at that time. The nurses were informed of the injury on 4/22/26 at approximately 8:30 AM, but failed to appropriately assess and provide care and treatment, including neurological checks. Each of the following shifts failed to identify and assess the injury, including failing to initiate neurological checks. […]
