This failure increased the potential for further abuse to Resident 1. Findings: Resident 1 is a long term resident of the facility with multiple diagnoses including depression and cerebral palsy (neurological condition that involves poor coordination and muscle weakness). According to the most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool), Resident 1 scored 15 out of 15 in a Brief Interview for Mental Status indicating she was cognitively intact. During an interview on 3/24/17 at 11:20 a.m., Resident 1 verbalized Certified Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1) was "scrubbing hard" while washing her perineal area after an incontinence episode. Resident 1 was tearful and stated she asked CNA 1 to stop but CNA 1 did not stop. Resident 1 further stated she reported the incident to management in early February. Resident 1 confirmed CNA 1 was still assigned to her. During a concurrent interview and record review on 3/24/17 at 2:35 p.m., Social Services Assistant (SSA) stated she heard a grievance from Resident 1 getting a bad treatment from CNA 1. SSA further stated Social Services Director was aware.

During an interview on 3/24/17 at 2:40 p.m., Staffing Coordinator stated CNAs are assigned to the same residents even if there is a resident complaint regarding the CNA. She further stated "I can't do anything about it." She verified CNA 1 was still assigned to Resident 1 as of 3/24/17. During an interview on 4/6/17 at 10:20 a.m., CNA 1 stated Resident 1 "did not like the way I take care of her". It started between October and November of 2016. CNA 1 further stated she reported the incident to management and was told she will be reassigned to a different resident but was still assigned to Resident 1 until a few days ago. Review of the CNA assignment sheets for February and March revealed CNA 1 was still assigned to Resident 1 as of 3/29/17. During an interview on 3/24/17 at 2:55 p.m., the Administrator indicated he was aware of the incident. The Administrator further stated the allegation should have been investigated and reported to the Department. A review of the facility's policy titled, "Elder/Dependent Adult Abuse" revised 06/21/2013, indicated, "The facility will fully protect the rights of each resident from...any form of mistreatment, or any other treatment that would result in physical harm, pain or mental suffering...The facility will enforce a policy of non-tolerance of any form of behavior that might be construed as abuse by any individual... each employee is a mandated reporter...to immediately report any actual/known, alleged, suspected incident of ... abuse... immediately or as soon as possible but not to exceed 24 hours after the discovery of FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: HNBB11 Facility ID: CA030000008 If continuation sheet 4 of 5 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

During an interview on 4/6/17 at 10 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she had spoken to Resident 1 and CNA 1 regarding the allegation about a month ago.
