It was reported that there are residents with head wounds and blood running down them.
On 08/27/2026 LPA toured the facility and observed Resident 1 (R1) who has a Band-Aid on their forehead. There were no other residents who appeared to have head wounds.
LPA reviewed incident reports for the facility and found two reported falls for the month of July and three for August 2026. It was reported that R1 had an unwitnessed fall on 08/22/2026 and sustained a skin tear on their right elbow, bruising, a small laceration on chin and upper lip, and complaints of right foot pain. R1 was transported via EMS for evaluation.
During staff interviews it was learned that R1 has a band aid on their head because they pick on a scab and it bleeds.
ED stated On 08/03/3036 Resident 1 fell and hit their head. R1 had a scratch on their forehead and staff put a Band-Aid on it. Their POA was contacted and refused transport. On 08/22/2026 R1 had another unwitnessed fall. POA was contacted and agreed to send her out for evaluation.
It was determined that the facility has not had an unusual amount of falls during the months of July and august 2026. One resident did have two falls in August 2026 but they received appropriate care related to the falls. The resident has a small scratch that is covered with a band aid due to resident “picking” at the scab which causes it to bleed. This allegation is unsubstantiated.

It was reported that a resident hadn’t been shaved and was wearing the same dirty clothes for days.
During visits on 08/27/2026 and 09/10/2026 LPA observed all residents to be appropriately dressed for the time of day.
During staff interview it was learned that resident’s clothes are changed every morning and at night before bed. Some residents refuse to change their clothing. Lots of male residents refuse to be shaved.
ED stated the male residents are shaved weekly if they don’t refuse. Resident’s clothes are changed daily.
It was determined this was submitted by an anonymous complainant who did not provide any details as to which specific resident this allegation concerns. This allegation is unsubstantiated.
