25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ruth Wallace made an unannounced visit to the facility on this day for the purpose of concluding a Case Management visit. LPA met with Human Resources Manager and explained the reason for the visit.
On 3/29/2022, Resident 1 (R1) was found at the facility at approximately midnight with swollen face and bleeding. R1 was sent to the local Emergency Room (ER) and was diagnosed with a nasal fracture. Staff reported that rounds are conducted every two hours on the NOC shift. The first rounds starting at 10:30 PM and occurring every two hours after. Staff 1 (S1) reported that they do rounds at 2230 hours, but on the night R1 sustained their injuries, they were busy and did not complete rounds at 2230. S1 stated that they then completed the next rounds a little earlier an found R1 at approximately 2300-0000 hours. S1 reported that R1’s face was “swollen and black from bruises.” Based on interview with treating Emergency Room physician of R1, it appeared that R1’s injuries occurred about 4-6 hours prior to R1 being seen in the ER.
