SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F-Tag F0609
F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few
Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure allegations of neglect were reported to the State Agency within the regulated time period. This was true for 2 of 6 residents, (#3, and #10) who were reviewed for abuse and neglect. This failure had the potential to affect all residents in the facility and placed them at risk for harm related to neglect. 1. Resident #3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED], with multiple diagnoses including cerebral infarction (a condition that occurs when the blood flow to part of the brain is obstructed), hemiplegia (paralysis or weakness on one side of the body), and major depressive disorder.
A review of the facility's Incidents and Accidents (I&A) record dated 3/31/25 documented that Resident #3 was being transferred in a full mechanical lift when the sling detached, and she fell, landing on her left arm.
The I&A documented that X-ray services were provided on 4/1/25, revealing that Resident #3 sustained a comminuted fracture (a bone broken in at least two places). Pain management and orthopedic services were provided.
The report also included notification of all appropriate parties, as well as staff education and disciplinary actions taken. The facility's I&A report documented that the investigation determined the allegation of neglect was confirmed due to CMA #1 deviating from Resident #3's plan of care by attempting to transfer her alone.
On review of the Long-Term Care Reporting Portal an incident reported on 4/2/25, documented that on 3/31/25, Resident #3 was being transferred in a full mechanical lift when the sling detached, and she fell landing on her left arm.
On 9/3/25 at 2:47 PM, the Administrator stated if the incident triggered an investigation for neglect my reporting date of 4/2/25 would be considered late reporting however, we did not identify the incident as neglect until the injury was confirmed on 4/1/25.
- 2. Resident #10 was admitted on [DATE REDACTED] with multiple diagnoses including non-dominant sided hemiplegia
and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) after a stroke, and insomnia.
Review of the facility's Grievance Logs, Resident #10 made an allegation of neglect on 4/8/25.
Review of the State Agency's Long Term Care Reporting Portal, Resident #10's grievance was included in another investigation initiated on 4/10/25, however, Resident #10's name was not associated with the other investigation.
On 9/3/25 at 3:24 PM, the Administrator stated Resident #10's allegation of neglect should have been reported to the State Agency when he received it.
