§483.12(c)(4) Report the results of all
investigations to the administrator or his or her
designated representative and to other officials
in accordance with State law, including to the
State Survey Agency, within 5 working days of
the incident, and if the alleged violation is
verified appropriate corrective action must be
taken.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview, record review, and facility
policy, the facility failed to report an allegation
of abuse for one of three sampled residents
(Resident 1) when Resident 1's sister reported
an incident of alleged abuse to the facility.
This failure placed Resident 1 at potential risk
of further abuse and prevented a timely and
independent investigation by the Department.
Findings:
Resident 1 was a long term resident of the
facility with multiple diagnoses including
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD
- a lung disease that blocks airflow and makes
it difficult to breathe). According to the most
recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS-an
assessment tool) dated 2/21/19, Resident 1
scored 13 out of 15 in a Brief Interview for
Mental Status indicating he was cognitively
intact.
In an interview on 3/12/19, at 10:46 a.m.,
Resident 1 stated licensed nurse (LN) 1 threw
an inhaler (delivers medication into the body
via the lungs) on his chest and used profanity
that made him uncomfortable. Resident 1
added, he informed his sister of the incident
and his sister reported the incident to the
facility a few weeks ago. Resident 1 confirmed
LN 1 still provided care to him since the

incident occurred.
In an interview on 3/12/19, at 11:11 a.m., LN 1
stated she was aware of Resident 1's
allegations against her. LN 1 added, she had a
discussion with the facility management
regarding the alleged incident and asked the
director of nurses (DON) and administrator
(ADM) if she could be removed off the
schedule while the alleged incident was being
investigated by the facility. LN 1 confirmed she
was not taken off the schedule and still
continued to provide care to Resident 1.
In a concurrent interview and record review on
3/12/19, at 11:57 a.m., the director of staff
development (DSD) stated she was made
aware of the allegations by Resident 1's sister
when she came to the facility on 2/27/19. The
DSD further stated a grievance form was
completed and the alleged incident was
investigated by the DON and the ADM.
A review of the facility document titled,
"Complaint/Grievance Report Form" dated
2/27/19, indicated, LN 1 threw an inhaler at
Resident 1. LN 1 used profanity in front of
Resident 1 while providing his medication. The
Complaint/Grievance Report Form was signed
by the DON on 2/27/19, ADM on 2/28/19 and
social services on 3/1/19.
In an interview on 3/12/19, at 12:06 p.m., the
DON stated she had spoken to Resident 1's
sister and LN 1 regarding the allegations. The
DON acknowledged LN 1 was not taken off the
schedule and was still assigned to provide care
to Resident 1 since the day of the alleged
incident. The DON validated the alleged
incident was investigated by the facility, but not
reported to the Department and stated, "We did
not report [Resident 1's allegations]. It was not
abuse."
