The inspection was conducted following an allegation that the facility failed to effectively manage and assess pain for a resident who had a fall with injury resulting in ongoing pain.

Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was substantiated based on findings that the facility did not effectively manage and assess pain for resident R901 following a fall on 3/4/25, resulting in ongoing pain and eventual hospital admission for fractures.
Findings
The facility failed to properly assess and ensure effective pain management for one resident (R901) after a fall on 3/4/25.
