Knollwood Healthcare: Food Safety Violations - AL
The x-ray found a broken tibia.
According to a September 11 inspection report, the injury to the resident identified as RI #20 was first reported on September 5, 2025. CNA #5 later told investigators during the facility's own internal review that the resident's leg was visibly swollen that day. No x-ray was ordered. The facility's nurse practitioner was not called.
The certified registered nurse practitioner said she first learned of the injury on September 9, when someone called to report bruising, swelling, and fracture results. She wrote an order that day to send the resident out for further evaluation. She told inspectors she had received no information on September 5 about swelling or pain, and was direct about what should have happened: if a resident reported a wheelchair had run over their foot and swelling was observed, she would expect an x-ray and a call with the results.
Nobody had called her.
The director of nursing told inspectors that on the morning of September 9, an x-ray was conducted at the facility between 10:00 and 10:40 AM. Results came back at 1:30 PM showing a broken tibia. The director of nursing said she then informed the doctor.
The inspection cited the facility under F0689, which covers accidents and supervision, at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
A resident with a broken bone spent at least four days without a diagnosis, without imaging, and without the nurse practitioner who would have ordered both being told anything had happened at all.
