a need for assistance with personal care. On 4/29/23 Resident #95 sustained a small scratch 0.4 cm in diameter on the left side of the neck from Resident #119.

On 8/8/25 at 12:15 PM an interview was conducted with the unit nurse manager (Nurse #2) about aggressive residents. When asked if there was an aggressive resident who was sent to the emergency room but then returned with no change in treatment, would they do anything different? Nurse #2 responded that they would look at doing every 15-minute checks or a 1:1. She went on to report a recent incident in which a resident pushed another resident down and they were going to implement a 1:1.

On 8/8/25 at 1:19 PM surveyor reviewed the concern with the Director of Nursing (DON) that the resident was having aggressive behaviors and no documentation to indicate an increase in supervision, even after

the resident was sent to the hospital for these behaviors. DON indicated he would check if there was documentation to indicate an increase in supervision after the hospitalization. The DON went on to report

they have a hard time with the locale hospital just giving Haldol and then sending the residents back rather than admitting to psychiatric unit. He reported a recent incident of this occurring and they had a 1:1 until the resident was transferred out.

On 8/13/25 at 8:40 AM the surveyor reviewed the concern regarding the facility's failure to protect resident to resident abuse in regard to the incident involving Resident #119 and #95. As of time of survey exit on 8/13/25 at 11:30 AM no additional documentation was provided to indicate additional supervision of Resident #119 was ordered or provided.

it was determined that he/she had a fractured tibia. The report further stated that there were no witnesses, no perpetrator was identified, that both the resident and the resident’s roommate were deemed incapable, and that staff who were on duty the day the injury was identified were interviewed and none had knowledge of the injury.

Residents Affected - Some

A review of the facility’s investigation file revealed a witness statement written 1/25/25 at 2:00 pm by Staff #38 which indicated that she was the nurse who cared for the resident that day and that the resident refused to get out of bed, was assessed in the morning with no abnormal findings, but around noon/lunch time the resident complained of pain, the doctor was notified, an x-ray was ordered, and pain medication was administered.

There were no staff assignment sheets or resident census documents to identify staff and residents who were present on that day. There was no documentation of Resident #107’s physical assessment other than the staff witness statement.

On 8/11/25 at 3:45 PM in an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), he provided an explanation for how the resident’s injury occurred but acknowledged that this information was not included in the investigation file nor in the resident’s medical records.

Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few

Resident #104’s information was reviewed with GNA #18. She reported that the resident was a full lift for all transfers and indicated that it meant she would need to use a mechanical lift to perform the transfer and required two staff members to complete the task.

On 8/7/25 at 3:53 PM, the DON was interviewed about the incident. He confirmed that per his investigation, GNA #36 failed to secure assistance from another staff to safely transfer a dependent resident. He reported that the facility’s initial plan was to bring GNA #36 back for education about transfers but when the incident was forwarded and reviewed by corporate staff, they instructed the facility to terminate GNA #36.

He also reported that the facility did a whole house education but did not include it in the investigation documents. He stated, “I keep a soft file in my office” and indicated that he would provide the surveyor with evidence that all clinical staff were educated on transfers.

On 8/7/25 at 4:34 PM, the DON provided the surveyor with the attendance sheets for the employee education that included transfers as one of the topics, dated 2/25/25.

A review of the attendance sheets was conducted on 8/8/25 at 12:15 PM. The review revealed that not all clinical staff attended the education.

A subsequent interview with the DON was conducted on 8/8/25 at 12:53 PM. During the interview, the DON reported again that all clinical staff attended the education. He added, “if they failed to attend, they would have been written up.” The finding that not all clinical staff attended the education was discussed and the DON was asked if he had a list of staff who failed to attend. He indicated Human Resource (Staff #9) can give him that information.

On 8/11/25 at 9:23 AM, Staff #9 printed a list of staff who failed to attend the education regarding transfers.

The list consisted of 7 nurses and 4 GNA’s. Staff #9 was asked if staff on the list were written up for not attending and she answered, “No.”

A review of GNA #36’s employee record was conducted on 8/11/25 at 12:13 PM. The review revealed the last education regarding transfer was done on 1/13/21 and last performance evaluation was dated 9/5/22. There was no other documentation found to indicate a performance evaluation was conducted

in the last 2 years.

On 8/13/25 at 8:43 AM, the findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the DON, and the concern was discussed that GNA #36 had failed to follow the appropriate transfer status of a resident resulting in harm as evidenced by Resident #104’s lower leg fracture. Also, there was no evidence to indicate that all clinical staff were educated on transfers after the 2/20/25 incident with Resident #104. Both staff acknowledged the concern.

Ensure that nurses and nurse aides have the appropriate competencies to care for every resident in a way that maximizes each resident's well being.

Based on review of medical records and other pertinent documentation, and interviews it was determined that the facility failed to ensure staff had adequate training. This was evident for one geriatric nursing assistant (GNA #25) out of two GNAs reviewed for mechanical lift training.The findings include: A review of Resident #45's clinical record revealed that they were admitted to the facility in 2022 and they required assistance to transfer from bed to wheelchair.A review of the facility's mechanical lift policy titled Lifting Machine, Using a Mechanical, revealed the statement that read, in part, that when lowering the resident, care should be taken ensure the sling bar did not hit the resident. On 8/06/2025 at 3:28 PM a record review of Resident #45's medical record revealed a progress note written on 7/10/25 by Licensed Practical Nurse (Staff #23) which described an incident when the resident developed a forehead hematoma (bruise) when

they were hit on the forehead by the mechanical lift while being transferred into the wheelchair. The note explained that 2 Geriatric Nursing Assistants (GNA) assisted the resident with the transfer.On 8/07/2025 at 11:10 AM an interview was conducted with the unit manager Staff #2 to review the incident. When asked about the incident she said that GNAs were trained to use the mechanical lift but that she herself did not provide the training. She was asked to provide evidence of training for the two GNAs (Staff #24, Staff #25) who assisted the resident during the incident,.On 8/07/2025 at 11:57 AM Staff #2 brought training documents for Staff #24 and Staff #25. A review of Staff #25's training competency checklist revealed that it was a self-evaluation. There was no evidence that Staff #25 had received training in the use of a mechanical lift or that she had been deemed competent to perform a transfer with a mechanical lift.On 8/07/2025 at 12:03 PM an interview with Human Resources Director, Staff #9 was conducted to review the GNA training records for Staff #25. Staff #9 reviewed the document and concurred that the documents did not show evidence of training or competency. When asked for further evidence, Staff #9 replied that Staff #25 was an agency GNA and that there were no other training documents available.On 8/07/2025 at 12:43 PM the Director of Nursing confirmed that documentation in the resident's medical record confirmed that

the mechanical lift bar hit the resident in the head and resulted in a bruise, and he also confirmed that there was no evidence that Staff #25 was competent to use the mechanical lift.

Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on

a full time basis.

Based on review of pertinent documentation and interviews it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a registered nurse was working for at least 8 consecutive hours every day. This was found to be evident for 3 out of 16 weekends of staffing reviewed during the survey but has the potential to affect all residents.The findings include: On 8/11/25 surveyor reviewed the staffing sheets for the weekends during January, February and March of 2025, as well as the staffing sheets for 7/15 -7/30/25 for the presence of a registered nurse (RN). These schedules reflected 24 hour periods that started and ended at 7:00 AM. The nurses usually worked 12 hour shifts, either day shift 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM or night 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM.Review of the Friday 1/10/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal an RN on duty for the night shift.Review of

the Saturday 1/11/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal an RN on duty for the day or night shift.Review of the Sunday 1/12/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal an RN on duty for the day or night shift.This represents a continuous 60 hours without an RN working in the building.Review of the 7/25/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal an RN on duty for the day or night shift.Review of the 7/26/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal an RN on duty for the day or the night shift. A separate report provided by the facility for hours worked per patient day (PPD) included documentation to indicate the Director of Nursing (DON) had worked for 4 hours on 7/26/25. An interview with the DON on 8/11/25 at 3:01 PM revealed that he has worked on the floor a couple of times and indicated that he recently had worked from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM to cover the medication cart. When DON was told this was in regard to Saturday 7/26, the DON responded that he probably came in to help out on the weekend. On 8/11/25 at 3:32 PM surveyor reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator the above findings for July 25 and 26, and January 11 and 12. On 8/12/25 surveyor requested the staffing sheets for 8/9 and 8/10/25.Review of the Saturday 8/9/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal an RN on duty for the day or night shift.Review of the Saturday 8/10/25 staffing sheet failed to reveal

an RN on duty for the day shift.On 8/12/25 at 11:28 AM the Human Resources Director confirmed that this past weekend there was no RN coverage from Saturday 8/9 at 7 AM until Sunday 8/10 at 7:00 PM.This represents a 36 hour period with no RN in the facility.On 8/13/25 at 8:40 AM surveyor informed the NHA of

the concern regarding multiple days when the facility failed to ensure an RN was working for 8 consecutive hours, including this past weekend.
