Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure Resident 1 (who resided on Unit C) was protected
from mental abuse and intimidation and 63 other residents on two units (Unit A and Unit B) were protected
from potential abuse when: 1. Certified nursing assistant (CNA) 1 responded to Resident 1's request for
assistance with a raised voice, angry demeanor, and threatening and aggressive posturing on 1/6/26.2.
Charge Nurse (CN) 1 and CNA 2 failed to report the incident between CNA 1 and Resident 1 as an
allegation of abuse to the facility's administrator.4. The facility did not investigate and report the allegation of
abuse to the state agency (California Department of Public Health, CDPH) for three days.5. The facility
continued to assign CNA 1, with known behavioral issues, to provide care to 63 residents on Unit A and
Unit B on 1/7/26 and 1/8/26 prior to beginning their investigation into the allegation of abuse on 1/9/26. As a
result of these failures, Resident 1 expressed feeling scared, worried, and withdrawn from socialization due
to her emotional distress. Furthermore, this failure to identify Resident 1's allegation as abuse posed an
immediate jeopardy to the safety and well-being of the 63 other residents on Unit A and Unit B where CNA
1 had been assigned during the facility's three-day investigation and reporting delay.Findings: On 1/9/26,
CDPH received a faxed SOC 341 (standardized abuse reporting form) from the facility dated 1/9/26. The
SOC 341 indicated the facility was reporting an incident of psychological/mental abuse and verbal
aggression that allegedly occurred between CNA 1 and Resident 1 on 1/8/26 7:00 PM. The SOC 341
further indicated, .On 10/6/26 [sic] resident reported to the charge nurse that [CNA 1] was aggressive to
her because she did not say Hi to him when she asked him to get something from the fridge. She said that
she felt defenseless because her wheelchair is slow and did not know what to do. On 2/3/26 at 2:55 P.M.,
an onsite visit was conducted to investigate a Facility Reported Incident (FRI) alleging CNA 1 was
aggressive to Resident 1 because she did not say Hi to him when she asked CNA 1 to get something from
the refrigerator for her. A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of quadriplegia (a form of paralysis that causes the loss of movement
and feeling in all four limbs and the torso) due to motor vehicle accident. A review of Resident 1's Minimum
Data Set Assessment (MDS, a comprehensive assessment tool) dated 12/30/25, indicated the resident's
BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) was 15 out of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact (no
memory, focus, or judgment issues).On 2/3/26 at 3:19 P.M., an interview was conducted with Resident
1while in the dining hall.Resident 2, who was a witness to the incident on 1/6/26, was also present.
Resident 1 was asked about the incident that involved CNA 1 on 1/6/26. Resident 1 stated she asked CNA
1 to get a food item out of the fridge, but CNA 1 told her, Are you gonna say hi to me if you want something
from me? Resident 1 stated it was her first encounter with CNA 1. Resident 1 stated she was confused by
his reply. CNA 1 then repeated in an angry manner, Are you gonna say hi to me if you want something from
me? Resident 1 stated she was

Director of Staff Development (DSD) 1 and DSD 2. The DSDs stated they had already identified red flags at
the beginning of CNA 1's onboarding orientation (on 10/31/25) at the facility. The DSDs described CNA 1's
behavior as arrogant and he would give them lots of push backs against their instructions. DSD 1 and DSD
2 both stated CNA 1 often would not follow directions. The DSDs stated CNA 1 would make statements
such as, I know that; I've been a CNA for nine years. The DSDs stated CNA 1 was late on the first day of
orientation and had a bad attitude about it. The DSDs stated CNA 1 violated facility policy by taking food
from residents' finished trays and stealing other staff's food and eating it. The DSDs stated they could
totally' imagine CNA 1 acting aggressively toward Resident 1. The DSDs stated CNA 1 should not have
acted aggressively toward any residents regardless of the reason. DSD 1 reviewed CNA 1's employment
record on her computer and stated CNA 1 was dismissed from his position on 1/13/26 during his
probational period. DSD 1 stated at approximately 3:00 P.M. on 1/13/26, CNA 1 burst into their office
yelling, They're trying to let me go they can't do this! DSD 1 stated Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 1
escorted CNA 1 out of the building. DSD 1 stated when she left work that day, CNA 1 ran after her in the
parking lot and chased her car as she drove away. DSD 1 further stated that Resident 1 was not the type of
resident who would report abuse allegations indiscriminately. DSD 1 stated, I can see it's pretty serious if
she reports abuse. DSD 1 stated CNA 1's behavioral concerns were reported to the leadership. A review of
Dismissal During Probation letter dated 1/13/26 indicated that CNA 1 was dismissed from his position as a
CNA at the facility because he was found unsatisfactory in fulfilling the duties required for the position. On
2/4/26 at 3:09 P.M., an interview was conducted with Nursing Supervisor (NS) 2. NS 2 was the day shift
supervisor. NS 2 stated Resident 1 was given the choice to report the incident that occurred on 1/6/26 as a
facility internal complaint/grievance or report to CDPH as a formal complaint. NS 2 stated when Resident 1
told another staff on 1/9/26 that she was scared of CNA 1 that was when the facility reported the incident
as an allegation of abuse to CDPH on 1/9/26. NS 2 was asked about CNA 1's job performance and
behavior toward residents and she refused to answer. On 2/4/26 at 3:41 P.M., an interview with Charge
Nurse (CN) 1 was conducted. CN 1 stated CNA 1 would interrupt staff conversation and say, You need to
tell me what you guys are talking about. Are you talking about me? CN 1 stated other staff members would
report to her that they had concerns about CNA 1's behaviors which included false accusations. CN 1
stated CNA 1 was floated to Resident 1's unit around 7:30 P.M. on the day the incident happened (1/6/26).
CN 1 stated CNA 1 was assigned to answer call lights while other CNAs and staff were making rounds. CN
1 stated this resulted in no other staff being present in the dining hall and nurse's station at the time of the
incident which happened around 8:20 P.M. When the incident happened, CN 1 stated, she was called to the
dining room where she saw Resident 1 and Resident 2 sitting close to each other. CN 1 stated Resident 1
was, very shaken about it, shaking and visibly in distress. CN 1 stated Resident 1 told her she was scared.
CN 1 stated Resident 1 told her, Don't leave me here with him [CNA 1], he's there. On 2/4/26 at 4:20 P.M., a
follow up interview was conducted with Resident 1 while inside the resident's room. Resident 1 stated a few
minutes after the incident on 1/6/26, three nursing supervisors approached her and asked her if she would
be willing to meet with CNA 1 to discuss the incident. Resident 1 stated she refused and told the nursing
supervisors that she was too scared of CNA 1 to meet and talk with him. Resident 1 further stated she was
worried about other residents, especially the more vulnerable ones, those who could not speak for
themselves, and those who could become agitated through interactions with CNA 1 because of their
psychiatric conditions. Resident 1 stated she stayed in bed for the next few days after the incident because
she felt closed off and put shells around herself due to the incident. Resident 1 stated she refused to keep

him. CNA 5 stated he worked with CNA 1 and witnessed CNA 1 raising his voice and shouting to redirect
residents. CNA 5 stated this behavior put the unit's residents at risk for escalation. On 2/10/26 at 4:23 P.M.,
a follow-up interview was conducted with CN 1. CN 1 stated what Resident 1 reported to her on 1/6/26 was
verbal abuse. CN 1 stated she should have reported this immediately to the administrator, CDPH, and the
police. On 2/19/26 at 9:57 A.M., and 10:15 A.M., two phone calls were made to CNA 1. CNA 1's phone was
disconnected. On 2/24/26 at 1:39 P.M., an interview was conducted with the ADM who was also the abuse

that Resident 1 had experienced emotional distress. On 2/24/26 at 3:40 P.M., a follow up interview with
CNA 2 was conducted. CNA 2 was asked how she became aware Resident 1 needed help on 1/6/26. CNA
2 stated she heard Resident 1 screaming her name, which prompted her to run out of a resident's room.
CNA 2 stated Resident 1 then told her [CNA 2], stay here, stay here, don't leave, and observed the
resident's body was tense and shaking. CNA 2 explained that Resident 1 reported asking CNA 1 for food
from the refrigerator. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 told her that CNA 1 said, Are you gonna say hi to me if you
want something from me? while raising his voice. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 told her that when she did not
say hi to CNA 1, his demeaner quickly changed. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 told her CNA 1's body language
was intimidating and threatening. CNA 2 stated Resident 1 told her she felt fatigued, had refused to get up,
and did not socialize after the incident. CNA 2 stated what happened to Resident 1 on 1/6/26 was abuse.

needed. 3. Facility-Wide Systemic ChangesEffective 2/24/26, regardless of the type of investigation
(complaint versus abuse), if staff is alleged perpetrator, staff will be removed from direct patient care
pending the abuse investigation results or determination that staff identified in the complaint may return to
direct care as the complaint does not involve abuse. Staff reporting incidents to the Abuse Coordinator shall
report thorough and accurate statements based upon the knowledge they have gathered, observations,
preliminary interviews of parties involved in the situation, and the psychosocial disposition of the residents.
Allegations or suspicions of abuse will continue to be reported promptly, according to the required
regulatory timeline, and Form SOC 341will be submitted. Staff are educated that they are mandated
reporters and they have the right and obligation to report abuse or suspicion of abuse, regardless of the
opinions of others. Staff are educated and have access to the SOC 341 form and abuse policies and
procedures for guidance. Staff in all departments will receive in-service education F600 Staff Training:
Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Prevention on 2/25/26 and 2/26/26. Staff on scheduled days off, leave, or
paid time off will complete the education on the date of their return and prior to providing patient care. This
in-service describes the different types of abuse or neglect, risk factors, signs of abuse, protecting residents
during an investigation, reporting requirements, and prevention practices. A thorough investigation of the
allegations will continue to be conducted, including resident interviews, staff interviews, other witness
interviews, employee personnel file review, resident record review, and other items as deemed necessary
or that arise during the course of the investigation. All results of the investigation will be submitted to CDPH
within 5 days. The ADM/Abuse Coordinator will review the abuse investigation protocols using the Abuse
Investigation Checklist on 2/26/26 with the Assistant Administrator, DON, and ADON, and QA nurse, and,
upon return from leave, the other ADON and the BHPC, before assuming direct patient care. On 2/27/26 at

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its written abuse policy titled Abuse and Criminal
Activity Identification, Screening, Prevention, Response, Reporting and Investigation 300R, dated
1/30/2025, in accordance with required procedures when:1. The facility did not identify, report, or
investigate an allegation of abuse in a timely manner.2. The facility did not thoroughly investigate the
allegation at the time of its report. 3. The facility did not assess the risk to other residents when CNA 1 was
assigned to provide resident care for two days after an abuse allegation was made.4. The facility did not
identify Resident 1's increased fearfulness as a behavior which may indicate potential abuse.As a result,
this failure placed Resident 1 and 63 other residents at risk for potential abuse.Cross reference F600, F609,
and F610.Findings:On 1/9/26, CDPH received a faxed SOC 341 (standardized abuse reporting form) from
the facility dated 1/9/26. The SOC 341 indicated the facility was reporting an incident of
psychological/mental abuse and verbal aggression that allegedly occurred between CNA 1 and Resident 1
on 1/8/26 7:00 PM. The SOC 341 further indicated, .On 10/6/26 [sic] resident reported to the charge nurse
that [CNA 1] was aggressive to her because she did not say Hi to him when she asked him to get
something from the fridge. She said that she felt defenseless because her wheelchair is slow and did not
know what to do.On 2/3/26 at 2:55 P.M., an onsite visit was conducted to investigate a Facility Reported
Incident (FRI) alleging CNA 1 was aggressive to Resident 1 because she did not say Hi to him when she
asked CNA 1 to get something from the refrigerator for her.A review of Resident 1's admission Record
indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of quadriplegia (a form of
paralysis that causes the loss of movement and feeling in all four limbs and the torso) due to motor vehicle
accident.A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, a comprehensive assessment
tool) dated 12/30/25, indicated the resident's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) was 15 out of 15,
indicating the resident was cognitively intact (no memory, focus, or judgment issues).On 2/3/26 at 3:19
P.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 1while in the dining hall. Resident 2, who was a witness to
the incident on 1/6/26, was also present. Resident 1 was asked about the incident that involved CNA 1 on
1/6/26. Resident 1 stated she asked CNA 1 to get a food item out of the fridge, but CNA 1 told her, Are you
gonna say hi to me if you want something from me? Resident 1 stated it was her first encounter with CNA
1. Resident 1 stated she was confused by his reply. CNA 1 then repeated in an angry manner, Are you
gonna say hi to me if you want something from me? Resident 1 stated she was still confused but also
thought that maybe he was joking. Resident 1 then told CNA 1, I don't have to say hi to you if I don't want
to. Resident 1 stated CNA 1 was coming out of the nurse's station walking toward the refrigerator at which
point he turned around and yelled, If you don't say hi to me, you're not getting anything from me! Now you
have to call your [assigned] CNA! Resident 1 stated CNA 1 charged toward her with his chest out and
aggressive arm movements. Resident 1 stated CNA 1 charged toward her in a manner that looked like he
wanted to physically fight her. Resident 1 stated she was scared when CNA 1 was verbally and physically
aggressive and charging toward her with his threatening posture because her electric wheelchair moved
slowly. Resident 1 stated she was worried she could not get away from him fast enough. CNA 1 then walked
back into the nurse's station without getting what she requested out of the refrigerator. Resident 1 called for
help and told CNA 2 and CN 1 what had happened. Resident 1 stated that she told CNA 2 and CN 1 that
she was scared and did not feel safe with the way CNA 1 behaved toward her. Resident 2 stated that she
witnessed the incident on 1/6/26 and that was what happened.A review of Resident 1's Interdisciplinary

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Findings:On
1/9/26, the state agency (California Department of Public Health, CDPH) received a faxed SOC 341
(standardized abuse reporting form) from the facility dated 1/9/26. The SOC 341 indicated the facility was
reporting an incident of psychological/mental abuse and verbal aggression that allegedly occurred between
CNA 1 and Resident 1 on 1/8/26 7:00 PM. The SOC 341 further indicated, .On 10/6/26 [sic] resident
reported to the charge nurse that [CNA 1] was aggressive to her because she did not say Hi to him when
she asked him to get something from the fridge. She said that she felt defenseless because her wheelchair
is slow and did not know what to do.On 2/3/26 at 2:55 P.M., an onsite visit was conducted to investigate a
Facility Reported Incident (FRI) alleging CNA 1 was aggressive to Resident 1 because she did not say Hi to
him when she asked CNA 1 to get something from the refrigerator for her.A review of Resident 1's
admission Record indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of
quadriplegia (a form of paralysis that causes the loss of movement and feeling in all four limbs and the
torso) due to motor vehicle accident.A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, a
comprehensive assessment tool) dated 12/30/25, indicated the resident's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental
Status) was 15 out of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact (no memory, focus, or judgment
issues).On 2/3/26 at 3:19 P.M., an interview was conducted with Resident 1while in the dining hall.
Resident 2, who was a witness to the incident on 1/6/26, was also present. Resident 1 was asked about the
incident that involved CNA 1 on 1/6/26. Resident 1 stated she asked CNA 1 to get a food item out of the
fridge, but CNA 1 told her, Are you gonna say hi to me if you want something from me? Resident 1 stated it
was her first encounter with CNA 1. Resident 1 stated she was confused by his reply. CNA 1 then repeated
in an angry manner, Are you gonna say hi to me if you want something from me? Resident 1 stated she
was still confused but also thought that maybe he was joking. Resident 1 then told CNA 1, I don't have to
say hi to you if I don't want to. Resident 1 stated CNA 1 was coming out of the nurse's station walking
toward the refrigerator at which point he turned around and yelled, If you don't say hi to me, you're not
getting anything from me! Now you have to call your [assigned] CNA! Resident 1 stated CNA 1 charged
toward her with his chest out and aggressive arm movements. Resident 1 stated CNA 1 charged toward her
in a manner that looked like he wanted to physically fight her. Resident 1 stated she was scared when CNA
1 was verbally and physically aggressive and charging toward her with his threatening posture because her
electric wheelchair moved slowly. Resident 1 stated she was worried she could not get away from him fast
enough. CNA 1 then walked back into the nurse's station without getting what she requested out of the
refrigerator. Resident 1 called for help and told CNA 2 and CN 1 what had happened. Resident 1 stated that
she told CNA 2 and CN 1 that she was scared and did not feel safe with the way CNA 1 behaved toward
her. Resident 2 stated that she witnessed the incident on 1/6/26 and that was what happened.On 2/4/26 at
3:41 P.M., an interview with CN 1 was conducted. CN 1 stated CNA 1 was floated to Resident 1's unit
around 7:30 P.M. on the day the incident happened (1/6/26). CN 1 stated CNA 1 was assigned to answer
call lights while other CNAs and staff were making rounds. CN 1 stated this resulted in no other staff being
present in the dining hall and nurse's station at the time of the incident which happened around 8:20 P.M.
When the incident happened, CN 1 stated, she was called to the dining room where she saw Resident 1
and Resident 2 sitting close to each other. CN 1 stated Resident 1 was, very shaken about it, shaking and
visibly in distress. CN 1 stated Resident 1 told her she was scared. CN 1 stated Resident 1 told her, Don't
leave me here with him [CNA 1], he's there.On 2/10/26 at 4:23 P.M., a follow-up interview was conducted
with CN 1. CN 1 stated what Resident 1 reported to her on 1/6/26 was verbal abuse. CN 1 stated she
