Knollwood Healthcare: Accident Hazard Failures - AL
That was September 5, 2025. The x-ray didn't happen until September 9.
When inspectors questioned the facility's registered nurse practitioner on September 11, she said she first learned about the resident, identified in the report as RI #20, on the morning of September 9, when she received a call reporting bruising, swelling, and a fracture. She wrote an order to send the resident out for evaluation. She had not been contacted four days earlier.
She was direct about what should have happened. If a resident reported being run over by a wheelchair and staff observed swelling, she said, she would expect the facility to conduct an x-ray and inform her of the results.
Nobody had.
The Director of Nursing told inspectors the x-ray was performed at the facility on September 9, beginning at 10:00 AM. Results came back at 1:30 PM. The resident had a broken tibia. The DON said she then informed the doctor.
It was only during the facility's own investigation, after the fracture was already confirmed, that CNA #5 reported the resident's leg had been swollen on September 5.
Federal inspectors cited Knollwood under F0689, the tag covering protection from accident hazards and supervision, at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm. The citation was tied to Incident #2612850.
The resident spent at least four days with a fractured tibia before the facility ordered imaging. Whether they were in pain during those four days, and what care they received, the inspection report does not say.
