2. During an interview with the DON on 4/15/25 at 12:08 p.m., she indicated there were only seven hydrocodone-acetaminophen 7.5-325 milligrams (mg) and there should have been eight on the controlled substance record for Resident E. The DON indicated she corrected the count before she handed the medication cart key over to the nurse on duty for Resident E. The DON indicated she was not able to verify that QMA 2 had taken the narcotic, but one pill was missing. Review of the clinical record of Resident E, on 4/16/25 at 9:30 a.m., indicated the diagnoses included, but were not limited to, systemic lupus, chronic pain, contracture of the left and right knee, lower back pain, and a history of a right femur fracture. The Quarterly MDS assessment for Resident E, dated 3/7/25, indicated the resident was moderately impaired for daily decision making. The resident received scheduled and PRN pain medication in the past five days. The resident experienced pain almost constantly in the past five days. The resident's pain was rated as moderate. The physician recapitulation order for Resident E, dated March 2025, indicated the resident was ordered hydrocodone-acetaminophen (narcotic pain medication) 7.5-325 mg every six hours for chronic pain. The plan of care for Resident E, dated 10/10/21 and recently reviewed on 3/20/25, indicated the resident was at risk for pain related to chronic pain and received routine pain medication. The March 2025 EMAR for Resident E indicated QMA 2 administered hydrocodone-acetaminophen 7.5-325 mg to the resident on 3/7/25 at 11:00 a.m. The controlled substance record for Resident E, dated 3/7/25, did not indicate QMA 2 administered the hydrocodone-acetaminophen 7.5-325 mg to the resident. The controlled substance log was one pill short. The DON documented she corrected the count from eight pills of hydrocodone-acetaminophen to seven pills. The controlled substance policy was provided by the ED on 4/15/25 at 12:07 p.m. The policy indicated when a controlled substance was administered to a resident, it must be recorded in the resident's Medication Administration Record (MAR) as well as in the resident's controlled substance inventory record at the time of administration. The abuse policy was provided by the ED on 4/16/25 at 10:40 a.m. The policy indicated the facility would prohibit and prevent misappropriation of the resident property. The misappropriation of resident property was the deliberate misplacement, exploitation, or wrongful, temporarily, or permanent use of a resident's property. This citation relates to Complaint IN00455066. 3.1-28(a) Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure misappropriation of residents' medication did not occur for 2 of 4 residents reviewed for abuse. (Resident B and Resident E) This deficient practice was corrected on 3/13/25, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility implemented a systematic plan that included the following actions: in-service education to nursing staff on medication administration and documentation, assessment of residents, and signing out controlled medications. The facility conducted an audit of all narcotic count sheets for all residents receiving narcotic medications and conducted interviews and assessments of all residents for pain with ongoing review presented to the Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) Committee for review. Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Resident B was reviewed on 4/15/25 at 12:00 p.m. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and dementia. A Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/11/25, indicated Resident B was moderately cognitively impaired, received pain medication regimen, and received PRN (as needed) pain medications. The plan of care for Resident B, dated 8/14/24, indicated the resident was at risk of pain due to squamous cell carcinoma and general discomfort. The interventions included, but were not limited to, administer medications as ordered and to document the effectiveness of PRN medications. A physician's order for Resident B, dated 10/24/24, indicated to administer hydrocodone-acetaminophen (narcotic pain medication) 5-325 milligrams (mg), every six hours, as needed for moderate to severe pain. An incident report, dated 3/7/25, indicated Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 2 was observed placing something into a bottle and then placing the bottle into her pocket. It also indicated a medication reconciliation was completed and one discrepancy was discovered. During an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 4/16/25 at 10:23 a.m., she indicated, on 3/7/25, she reviewed the camera footage on the D hallway. The ED indicated she observed QMA 2 standing at the medication cart as she had been passing medications. She then shut and locked the cart and walked behind the nurse's desk. She picked up her backpack and took out a medication bottle, and then she could see QMA 2 putting something into the bottle into her pocket. The ED indicated she took QMA 2 into her office and asked her if she had anything in her pockets. QMA 2 then pulled out a medication bottle for omeprazole (medication used for heartburn). The ED then asked QMA 2 if she could see what was in the bottle. QMA 2 then shook the bottle onto her desk and one pill came out and that appeared to be a hydrocodone 5-325 mg tablet. She indicated it was her medication. The ED indicated she could still hear more pills in the bottle. So, QMA 2 shook one more pill out onto the desk and it was a Zyrtec pill (allergy pill). The ED told QMA 2 she could still hear more medications in the bottle. So, she emptied the bottle onto the desk and there were two pills. One was a hydrocodone 7.5-325 mg tablet, and the other was a hydrocodone 5-325 mg tablet. The ED indicated QMA 2 was then suspended, escorted off the premises, and a police report was filed. During an interview with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 3 on 4/16/25 at 10:42 a.m., she indicated she worked with QMA 2 on 3/7/25. CNA 3 indicated she saw QMA 2 walk behind the nurse's desk from her medication cart with pills in her hand. CNA 3 indicated she asked QMA 2 what she was doing, and she said, nothing, I'm just putting my pills back in my bottle from home. CNA 3 indicated something did not seem right, so she notified the ED that she had seen QMA 2 putting pills into a bottle from her hand from her work bag. A controlled drug administration record for February and March 2025 was reviewed for Resident B on 4/15/25 at 1:15 p.m. It indicated Resident B received hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg on the following dates: - 2/12/25 at 10:00 p.m., - 2/14/25 at 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., - 2/19/25 at 8:00 p.m., - 2/20/25 at 8:30 p.m., & - 3/5/25 at 8:30 p.m. The Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR), for February and March 2025, was reviewed for Resident B on 4/15/25 at 1:25 p.m. It indicated Resident B had no documentation of any pain medications given on the above dates. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/16/25 at 10:07 a.m., she indicated QMA 2 was omitting to document Resident B's PRN (as needed) pain medication on the EMAR.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete pain assessments for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for pain medication and assessments. (Resident B) This deficient practice was corrected on 3/13/25, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility implemented a systematic plan that included the following actions: in-service education to nursing staff on medication administration and documentation, assessment of residents, and signing out controlled medications.

A controlled drug administration record, for February and March 2025, was reviewed for Resident B on 4/15/25 at 1:15 p.m. It indicated Resident B received hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg on the following dates: - 2/12/25 at 10:00 p.m., - 2/14/25 at 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., - 2/19/25 at 8:00 p.m., - 2/20/25 at 8:30 p.m., & - 3/5/25 at 8:30 p.m. The February and March 2025 Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) was reviewed for Resident B on 4/15/25 at 1:25 p.m. It indicated Resident B had no documentation of the medication given nor pain assessments to go along with the medication administration. During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 4/16/25 at 10:07 a.m., she indicated the facility's expectation when a Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) was indicating a need for PRN (as needed) pain medication, would be to report their findings to the nurse, the nurse would give verbal authorization for the medication to be given, the QMA would sign it off in the EMAR, then the nurse would co-sign the administration, and do the follow-up assessment. The DON indicated QMA 2 was omitting to document Resident B's PRN (as needed) pain medication on the EMAR, so it did not prompt the nurse to do a pain assessment. During an interview with the DON on 4/16/25 at 10:20 a.m., she indicated no pain assessments were completed for Resident B for the following dates: - 2/12/25 at 10:00 p.m., - 2/14/25 at 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., - 2/19/25 at 8:00 p.m., - 2/20/25 at 8:30 p.m., & - 3/5/25 at 8:30 p.m. A Pain Management policy was provided by the Executive Director (ED) on 4/15/25 at 12:07 p.m. The policy indicated .11. The licensed nurse will monitor the efficacy of the analgesia . A QMA Parameters and Scope of Practice policy was provided by the ED on 4/15/25 at 12:07 p.m. The policy indicated .(D) Ensure that the licensed nurse is to complete the assessment and document the effectiveness of the prn medication administered .

Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident had compression stockings in place without wrinkles for 3 of 4 observations of Resident 94's compression stockings. Findings include: The clinical record for Resident 94 was reviewed on 6/4/2024 at 11:00 a.m. The medical diagnosis included heart failure. A physician order for 94, dated 4/29/2024, indicated to place thigh high bilateral lower extremity TED hose (compression stockings) in the morning and remove them at night. A care plan intervention, dated 3/29/2024, indicated for Resident 94 to utilize bilateral thigh high TED hose in the morning and remove them at night. An observation and interview on 5/31/2024 at 11:25 a.m. indicated that Resident 94 was sitting in his wheelchair at this time. He was wearing a pair of white compression stockings. The stockings were noted to be wrinkled at the knee joints on both legs. Two additional wrinkles were noted to the left stocking at about a third of the way between the ankle and knee and halfway between the ankle and knee. An additional wrinkle was noted halfway between the ankle and knee on the right leg. Resident 94 indicated the girls, in reference to the staff, placed his compression stockings in the morning. He stated he could fix the wrinkles at the top, but he is not able to straighten the ones lower in his legs. He stated these stockings typically have wrinkles. During this interview and observation, CNA 2 knocked and came into the room to remind Resident 94 that it was almost lunch time. An observation and interview with Resident 94 on 6/3/2024 at 11:47 a.m. indicated he was sitting in his wheelchair with his compression stockings in place. The stockings were noted to be wrinkled at the knee joints on both legs. Two additional wrinkles were noted to the left stocking at about a third of the way between the ankle and knee and halfway between the ankle and knee. He stated that the wrinkles do not hurt, but there are lines on his legs when they take them off at bedtime. He exhibited how he was able to smooth the tops of the stockings around the knee joints but was unable to smooth the wrinkles lower in his legs. An observation on 6/4/2024 at 9:40 a.m. indicated Resident 94 was sitting in wheelchair at this time. Resident 94 was self-propelling in his wheelchair at this time with his bilateral compression stockings wrinkled at the top. Two additional wrinkles were noted to the right stocking at about a third of the way between the ankle and knee and halfway between the ankle and knee. An additional wrinkle was noted halfway between the ankle and knee on the left leg. An interview with the Director of Nursing on 6/4/2024 at 11:40 a.m. indicated that there was not a specific policy for TED hose, but it is the expectation that TED hose would be applied when ordered and be without wrinkles due to the increased risk of developing skin impairments. 3.1-37(a)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide their scheduled activity program on the Cottage Unit of the facility; implement and educate staff regarding a residents' individualized activity care plan; and redirect a resident with a history of wandering into other residents' rooms for 7 of 28 residents on the Cottage Unit of the facility. (Residents 6, 49, 35, 52, 60, 65, and 92) Findings include: 1. An observation of the common area of the Cottage Unit was conducted on 5/31/24 at 11:36 a.m. The common area of the unit was a very large room that consisted of a television area in the front corner with recliners around it. There was a sink and counter space in the opposite front corner of the room. It also served as the dining room with enough tables to accommodate the current census of 28 residents on the unit. Several of the tables were pushed together and served as the group activity tables as well as dining room tables. There were couches in the back of the common area. There were 17 residents in the common area at this time, and there were no group activities occurring. Staff were passing out drinks to residents in the dining room just prior to lunch service. The group activity schedule on the wall indicated Dining Room Helpers at 11:30 a.m., but no residents were observed helping at this time. An interview was conducted with Family Member 10 in the common area of the Cottage Unit on 5/31/24 at 11:51 a.m. She was sitting at a dining room table with her husband prior to the lunch meal. She indicated she came to the facility daily around 11:00 a.m. and would stay for lunch and dinner. Group activities weren't usually going on while she was there. She'd seen bingo after lunch before, but that's it. An observation of the common area of the Cottage Unit was made on 6/4/24 at 11:23 a.m. The group activity calendar on the wall indicated Baking as an activity at 11:00 a.m., but there was no baking or any other group activity occurring at this time. Resident 35 was sitting at the activity/dining room table with a soda. Resident 35's cognitive loss/dementia care plan, last reviewed/revised 5/16/24, indicated an approach was to encourage participation in daily activities particularly regarding orientation, socialization, and stimulation. An observation of the common area of the Cottage Unit was made on 6/4/24 at 1:36 p.m. The group activity calendar on the wall indicated Paint & Polish as an activity at 1:00 p.m. Resident 35 was observed sitting at the activity/dining room table, but there was no Paint & Polish or other group activity occurring at this time. There were 8 other residents in the area at this time, but none of them were participating in any activity. Resident 60 was sitting in a chair by the window with the back of his head against the window with his eyes closed and snoring. On 6/4/24 at 1:51 p.m., Receptionist 11 was observed standing at a dining room table in the common area with nail/polish supplies but was not currently providing nail/polish to any of the residents. An interview was conducted with her at this time. She indicated she used to work in the activity department, but now normally worked at the front desk, and was just filling in for the afternoon, because there was a shortage of activity assistants. She did nails for 2 residents today but the rest of the residents refused. This morning, AA (Activity Assistant) 12 was doing activities on the unit. An observation of Resident 35 was made on 6/4/24 at 1:54 p.m. He remained at the activity/dining room table, but now his eyes were closed. The television was on in the corner of the room, but he was not watching it, and it was quite a distance away from him. An interview was conducted with LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 8 on 6/4/24 at 1:48 p.m. She indicated the DCD (Dementia Care Director) was in charge of the activity program on the unit. An interview was conducted with the DCD on 6/4/24 at 2:04 p.m. She indicated she'd been in her position since December 2023, and was previously an activity assistant, mostly on other units of the facility. The activity program on the Cottage Unit was different than the rest of the facility. It was more routine and geared towards residents with dementia. She did not believe the baking activity occurred at 11:00 a.m. earlier today, because AA 12 said she ran out of time. They lost 3 of their activity staff in the last 6 weeks. There used to be a consistent activity assistant on the Cottage Unit from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., who conducted mostly group activities. During nail time today, they had a movie playing on the television for the rest of the residents. Of the current census, in her opinion, roughly 8-15 residents were able to participate in bingo. Some just didn't like it and some didn't come out of their room. The activity care plan for Resident 6, last reviewed/revised 6/3/24, indicated she enjoyed independent activity pursuits such as watching television, reading, listening to music, and coloring. An approach was Offer items for room (Books, magazines, puzzles.) An observation and interview with Resident 6 in her room was made on 6/4/24 at 11:27 a.m. She was lying awake in bed. Her eyes were open. The television was on a sports channel, but the volume was not audible, and Resident 6 was facing the opposite direction of the television. She requested one grab a chair. Her request was obliged. There was a coloring book and markers in a bin on an end table near her bed. There were no puzzles, magazines, or other books. Resident 6 indicated she needed a magazine. After an attempt to exit the room, Resident 6 stated, Don't leave. During this observation, LPN 8 entered the room to inform Resident 6 it was time for lunch. Resident 6 communicated to LPN 8 that she wanted a magazine. An observation of the common area of the Cottage Unit was made on 6/5/24 at 10:48 a.m. AA 12 was tossing a large purple ball with one resident near the television area. Eventually 2 other residents joined for a total of 3 residents participating, including Resident 52 and Resident 65. There were 3 other residents sitting on couches in the back, 2 other residents sitting in the television area, and 2 residents by the window. The activity calendar on the wall indicated Front Porch Time (GAZEBO) at 10:30 a.m. There were no residents in the outside courtyard/gazebo area of the unit, which was visible from the unit. Upon observation of the courtyard area, it was sunny, not raining, and not windy. An interview was conducted with the DCD on 6/5/24 at 10:52 a.m. She indicated AA 12 asked the residents if they wanted to go outside. The residents asked about the weather and said no. According to weather.com on 6/5/24 at 10:55 a.m. the current weather in the city where the facility was located was 76 degrees Fahrenheit and partially sunny. An interview was conducted with the Administrator and DON (Director of Nursing) on 6/5/24 at 12:25 p.m. The Administrator indicated the activity assistant who was previously assigned full time to the Cottage Unit was let go recently, and they didn't have enough CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) to have them do activities. They were recently hired, but still had one open position for activities. The Administrator and DON indicated they understood why the group Front Porch Time (Gazebo) activity not being done was a concern and that perhaps staff needed more education on how to approach the residents with the idea versus simply asking them if they'd like to go outside. They both agreed it was a nice day out. 2. a) The clinical record for Resident 49 was reviewed on 5/30/24 at 12:35 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia. The cognitive loss/dementia care plan, last reviewed/revised 4/2/24, indicated he was severely cognitively impaired Approaches were to give him choices throughout the day regarding decisions as able and to provide him with prompts and cues as needed. The activities care plan, last reviewed/revised 4/2/24, indicated he enjoyed independent activity pursuits such as independent activity box with fidget toys, a deck of cards, a blanket, and a stuffed animal. Approaches were to offer items from activity box. Resident 49 was observed wandering throughout the Cottage Unit on 5/30/24 at 12:20 p.m., 5/30/24 at 2:31 p.m., and 6/4/24 at 1:38 p.m. He walked up and down the hallway, into the common area, and into another resident's room. An observation of Resident 49 was made on 6/4/24 at 3:15 p.m. He was standing near the nurse's desk. An observation and interview was conducted with the DCD on 6/4/24 at 3:15 p.m. Resident 49's activity box was located in the back corner of the common area, near the piano. The box had his name printed on the outside and it contained several fidget toys. There was no blanket, stuffed animal, or deck of cards inside. The DCD retrieved a new deck of cards from her office to place in the box. She was unable to locate the blue stuffed animal or blue blanket. She gave CNA 7 a description of the blue fuzzy blanket for which she was looking. On 6/4/24 at 3:19 p.m., CNA 7 indicated she thought she saw the blanket in the linen closet of Station 1, located just outside of the unit. An observation and interview was conducted with the DCD and CNA 7 on 6/4/24 at 3: 22 p.m. at the Station 1 linen closet, where a blue fuzzy blanket was retrieved. CNA 7 indicated the blanket was on the top shelf and she'd seen it there earlier this morning. She did not know it belonged to Resident 49 or belonged in his activity box. She was aware of his activity box, but not what went inside it. An interview was conducted with the DON and Administrator on 6/5/24 at 12:25 p.m. The DON indicated she remembered making Resident 49's activity box and the blanket was supposed to be in there. The ED indicated they would educate staff on this. 2. b) The clinical record for Resident 49 was reviewed on 5/30/24 at 12:35 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, dementia. The care plan, last reviewed/revised 4/2/24, indicated he would go into others rooms/bathrooms at times. Approaches were to redirect him away from others rooms and to redirect him with a snack. An observation was made on 5/30/24 at 12:20 p.m. in Resident 92's room while conducting an interview with Family Member 9. During the interview, Resident 49 came into Resident 92's room. Resident 49 stood near the doorway and began to speak nonsensically. Family Member 9 indicated, He pops in from time to time and it upsets her. Resident 92 was lying in bed at this time. After a few moments of Resident 49 being in her room, Resident 92 stated very loudly to Resident 49, I said out. Resident 49 eventually left the room. Staff were not around for this observation and did not intervene to redirect him elsewhere. Resident 49 was observed wandering throughout the Cottage Unit on 5/30/24 at 2:31 p.m. and 6/4/24 at 1:38 p.m. The Activities policy was provided by the Administrator on 6/4/24 at 10:30 a.m. It read, It is the policy of this facility to provide for an ongoing program of activities designed to meet the interests and the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident in accordance with the comprehensive assessment. 3.1-37(a)

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a fall from a mechanical lift did not occur during a transfer from the bed to the chair, resulting in cervical and thoracic fractures of the spine, for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for falls. (Resident B) The deficient practice was corrected on 1-10-24, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. The facility had completed assessments of the resident who had experienced a fall, conduct neurological checks, and audits related to fall events. Findings include: The clinical record of Resident B was reviewed on 2-13-24 at 5:40 p.m. His diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, anxiety, depression, insomnia, aphasia and, nondisplaced fracture of the 7th cerebral vertebra and fracture of the 1st and 2nd thoracic vertebrae (neck area and upper spine area), sustained on 12-30-23. In an interview with CNA 3 on 2-13-24 at 4:26 p.m., she indicated she and CNA 4, were working on the secured memory care unit (MCU) and had entered Resident B's room to provide incontinence care, prior to getting him up from bed and into his chair. CNA 3 indicated she connected the hook of the sling to the mechanical lift of the bottom left hook and CNA 4 connected all the other hooks. Once they had the sling connected to the mechanical lift, they raised him up off the bed. As [name of CNA 4] was starting to move him towards the [tradename of the chair], more of turning his body in the sling toward the [tradename of the chair], not really moving the actual mechanical lift and he was kind of between the bed and the chair, the hook on the top left, came undone. He literally did a flip in midair backwards and landed on his head. He let out some kind of a scream and I saw blood. I wouldn't call it a ton of blood, but some blood and I ran out to get the nurse at the desk on the unit while [name of CNA 4] stayed with him. It was [staff name], I think she is a QMA. The next thing I know a nurse and aide from A Hall came to help and check him out. The nurse was holding pressure to his head where he was bleeding. He got sent out to the hospital pretty quick. The EMS [emergency medical services] people were here pretty quick. I am [age under 18] .There seems to be some conflicting information as to if I'm allowed to help with the mechanical lifts or just not even touch them. So, that evening, I did hook up the one bottom hook. After I did that, I did tell [name of CNA 4] she should be the one to hook up the rest of the hooks on the mechanical and she did. From what I was told after this, we aren't allowed to operate the mechanical lifts until we are 18 now. Indicated she has worked at the facility for about 5 months. In an interview on 2-14-24 at 11:45 a.m., with CNA 4, she recalled Resident B's fall. She could not recall the exact date, but indicated the fall occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., prior to dinner. She indicated Resident B's normal routine is to be assisted up into a chair for every meal and then returns to bed. She explained she and CNA 3 provided incontinence care prior to assisting him up via the mechanical lift. I did all the mechanical lift operation because the other aide is [under 18]. If you are under 18, you can't operate the lifts, but you can be the helper. We got the sling hooked up to the lift like we normally would do. Then one of the upper hooks on the sling came undone .We had him between the bed and chair with the chair closer to the bathroom and he fell onto the floor near the dresser. He was about 4 to 5 feet in the air when it happened. He fell from sling. I cannot recall if he flipped in the air or fell straight to the ground. He usually makes a 'shhhew' noise and he immediately stopped. I don't remember him yelling after the fall, but he might have. I was pretty upset and traumatized by the whole thing. He doesn't really keep his eyes open most of the time and I don't remember him opening his eyes. Plus, he is pretty much non-verbal except for the 'shhew' sound he makes. When he landed on the floor, he was in the fetal position and bleeding from his head. The other aide immediately ran to get the QMA at the desk on the MCU and then the A Hall nurse came and checked him out. We left him in the same position he landed and didn't try to move him. Somebody, not sure who, got a washcloth to cover his head where it was bleeding and to put pressure on it. Don't know who called for an ambulance, but the EMT's were there pretty quick. They didn't move him until they were ready to put him on their cart and transport him to the hospital. I remember one of the EMT's did ask what happened and I remember we told them that he fell about 4 or 5 feet from the [mechanical lift] when we were in the middle of moving him from the bed to his chair. Feedback from hospital was he had some type of broken back and the place on his head did not get any stitches to his head. The laceration looked really bad at the beginning because he seemed to be bleeding a lot. It looked much better after they cleaned it up at the hospital. After all of this, I spoke with Administrator and Director of Nursing. I had to write out a statement and got training for the mechanical lift. I think they did do some type of inspection of the mechanical lifts and tried to do a re-enaction of what happened. I don't know what they found out about any problems with the [mechanical lifts]. She indicated she has been employed at the facility for less than a year. Never happened to me before. In an interview on 2-14-24 at 10:40 a.m., with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the Corporate Staff, they indicated they wished to clarify a statement of the policy and procedure related to mechanical lifts. They indicated for the statement of staff under [AGE] years of age, not being able to operate the mechanical lifts, staff under 18, may assist with the use of the mechanical lift, such as connecting the straps to the the lift, but cannot operate the machine itself. A document entitled, Fall Reviews-Event 1-2-24, indicated on 12-30-23 at 5:00 p.m., Resident B had a fall from a mechanical lift while being transferred from his bed and into his chair while being assisted by two staff members. He did strike his head during the event and landed on his left side. Immediate care was provided of pressure held to a sustained laceration to his head, contacting emergency transport services and notification to the medical director and the family. Initial neurochecks indicated he were within normal limits for this resident. At the emergency room visit, a CT scan detected moderate age-indeterminate compression of T3 [third thoracic vertebra] and nondisplaced fractures of the posterior transverse processes of the C7 [seventh cervical vertebra], T1 [first thoracic vertebra], T2 [second thoracic vertebra].' It indicated a notation from the emergency room physician stated, He has a moderate size posterior scalp hematoma with superficial overlying abrasion not requiring repair. Have recommended gentle soap and water and triple antibiotic ointment. Family wanted to proceed with initial workup despite being on hospice .As patient is on hospice and they would like him to remain on hospice no specific spine follow-up is required and patient will use p.r.n. [as needed or desired] pain medications as needed to remain comfortable. Return instructions were discussed with family however patient is on hospice and lengthy conversation was had regarding need for return and respecting patient's hospice based wishes. Patient will return to the extended care facility at this time. Family comfortable with plan. It indicated the following day, hospice changed pain medication orders from prn to Norco every 6 hours, plus every 4 hours as needed. Hospice and family chose not to refer to therapy for eval [evaluation] or possible C [cervical] collar. Hospice/family would like neck pillow while up as tolerated for comfort only. Provided pillow, and resident is tolerating well. It indicated the facility's immediate actions, included, but were not limited to, conducting staff interviews with staff involved in event, removing the mechanical lift used for Resident B from use, inspecting the mechanical lift for any obvious functional issues, conducting skills check offs of the mechanical lift with the two staff members involved in the event on the day of occurrence, conducting skills validation of mechanical lifts with all clinical staff, including sling safety check and proper latching, Additional actions included an on-site inspection of all of the facility's mechanical lifts by the manufacturer on 1-9-24. No issues with malfunction were identified with the specific mechanical lift involved in the incident. In an interview with the Corporate Staff on 2-15-24 at 5:40 p.m., she indicated, As far as the root cause analysis is concerned with the fall and the lift, we still cannot say exactly what happened. It could have been equipment failure or human error. On 2-15-24 at 2:20 p.m., the ADON provided a copy of a document entitled, Fall Management Policy, with a revision date of August, 2022. This policy was indicated to be the current policy utilized by the facility. It is the policy of American Senior Communities to ensure residents residing within the facility receive adequate supervision and or assistance to prevent injury related to falls .Post Fall: Any resident experiencing a fall will be assessed immediately by the charge nurse for possible injuries and necessary treatment will be provided .A neurological assessment will be initiated on all residents with a suspected head injury based upon the fall. If the resident experienced an injury from the fall, contact facility DNS [Director of Nursing Services]/ED [Executive Director] per facility policy. The physician will be contacted immediately, if there are injuries, and orders will be obtained .The family will be notified immediately by the charge nurse of falls with injury .A fall event will be initiated as soon as the resident has been assessed and cared for. The report must be completed in full in order to identify possible root causes of the fall and provide immediate interventions. All falls will by discussed by the interdisciplinary team at the 1st IDT meeting after the fall to determine root cause and other possible interventions to prevent further falls. On 2-14-24 at 9:14 a.m., the ADON provided a copy of an undated document entitled, Mechanical Lift/Hoyer Lift Safety, and it was identified as a training document. This document indicated, I understand that all mechanical lifts .require the use of 2 trained people to operate safely .I understand that I must inspect the sling for any defects or wear and tear prior to applying the sling on a resident .I understand that if I am under the age of 18, I am not able to operate a mechanical lift but may be the second person assisting for safety.

The facility is operated by AMERICAN SENIOR COMMUNITIES, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 110 certified beds and approximately 100 residents (about 91% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in RICHMOND, Indiana.

"How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"

Is Rosebud Village Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, ROSEBUD VILLAGE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Indiana. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Rosebud Village Stick Around?

Staff at ROSEBUD VILLAGE tend to stick around. With a turnover rate of 26%, the facility is 20 percentage points below the Indiana average of 46%. Low turnover is a positive sign. It means caregivers have time to learn each resident's needs, medications, and personal preferences. Consistent staff also notice subtle changes in a resident's condition more quickly. Registered Nurse turnover is also low at 12%, meaning experienced RNs are available to handle complex medical needs.

Was Rosebud Village Ever Fined?

ROSEBUD VILLAGE has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Rosebud Village on Any Federal Watch List?

ROSEBUD VILLAGE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
