Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide an
environment free of physical abuse for one
(Resident 1) of three sampled residents, when
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 1) pushed,
pulled, and yelled at Resident 1 multiple times.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 being
physically and verbally abused.

Review of Resident 1's Admission Record
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on 6/10/14 with diagnoses that included
Dementia (a general term for loss of memory
and other mental abilities severe enough to
interfere with daily life) due to traumatic brain
injury, with behavioral disturbance, and
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (a mental
disorder where people feel the need to check
things repeatedly and perform certain
routines/tasks repeatedly).
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set
(MDS - An assessment tool used to direct
resident care) assessment dated 7/26/18,
showed a Brief Interview of Mental Status
(BIMS) score of 14 out of 15; which represents
an intact cognition (ability to understand and
make one's own decisions daily) .

Resident 1 met in front of food cart 1. As
Resident 1 attempted to open the first food
cart, CNA 1 pushed the Resident 1's right hand
away. As Resident 1 walked behind food cart
1, CNA 1 grabbed Resident 1's right wrist and
pushed Resident 1 away from the cart. CNA 1
grabbed Resident 1's right arm again and
pushed him, this time to stop Resident 1 from
opening the middle cart. CNA 1 was shaking
his finger at Resident 1. CNA 1 grabbed
Resident 1's right wrist and pushed him while
still holding Resident 1's wrist. CNA 1 grabbed
both of Resident 1's lower arms. CNA 1
pushed Resident 1 towards the window while
still holding Resident 1's right wrist. CNA 1
pulled Resident 1 away, grabbed Resident 1's
left hand and then pushed Resident 1 away.
CNA 1 then pushed Resident 1 in the back.
CNA 1 walked away from Resident 1. When
Resident 1 was charging towards CNA 1, CNA
1 tried to push Resident 1 away. CNA 1 then
pushed Resident 1's left arm away. Resident 1
lost his balance and another CNA (CNA 5)
tried to brace Resident 1's fall to the floor, but
was unsuccessful. Resident 1 fell to the floor.
During a telephone interview with CNA 1 on
8/30/18 at 10:10 a.m., CNA 1 began by stating
that one day in August 2018, CNA 1 was trying
to serve coffee to another resident when
Resident 1 walked into the dining room asking
for his lunch tray. CNA 1 instructed Resident 1
to sit and CNA 1 would bring Resident 1's tray
to his table. When Resident 1 insisted to get
his tray, CNA 1 blocked the food cart because
he did not want the other trays to get
contaminated. When Resident 1 came close to
CNA 1, CNA 1 pushed Resident 1. CNA 1
admitted he pushed Resident 1 more than
once.
During an interview with Resident 1 on 8/29/18,

at 12:30 p.m., Resident 1 stated when he
asked if he can have his tray served, CNA 1
told him to wait, as CNA 1 was busy serving
coffee to the other residents. When Resident 1
told CNA 1 that he could get his tray for
himself, CNA 1 hit him to keep him from
touching the cart. Resident 1 stated CNA 1
pushed him out of the way and he landed on
the floor, on his bottom. Resident 1 continued
stating that one of his slippers came off so he
tried to pick it up, but when CNA 1 thought he
was going to the cart again, CNA 1 pushed him
two more times.

CNA 2 (who was also present in the dining
room during the incident) CNA 2 stated when
Resident 1 walked to the food cart to look for
his tray, CNA 1 followed him and the two went

1, but CNA 1 would not listen.
In an interview on 8/29/18, at 11:35 a.m., CNA
4 stated that when she stopped by the dining
room, CNA 4 saw CNA 1 and Resident 1
talking by the food cart. CNA 1 walked away
but Resident 1 followed CNA 1 so CNA 1
turned around, came back, and with his two
hands, pushed Resident 1 in his chest, making
Resident 1 fall to the floor on his bottom. Then
CNA 4 stated she heard somebody call, "Code
Green".
