Summary
The facility failed to initiate an investigation into an injury of unknown origin when a resident sustained an open fracture to the right femur. The Director of Nursing assessed the resident but did not begin an investigation to determine the cause of the injury. This deficiency was identified through interview and record review and affected one resident out of a facility census of 73. The deficiency remains uncorrected, and previous similar examples are referenced in a prior Statement of Deficiencies.
