This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its abuse prevention policy for one of two sampled residents, Resident 1, when staff did not implement Resident 1's care plan for a behavior that put him at high risk for conflict, and staff were not trained on how to respond to his aggression. This resulted in Resident 1 arguing aggressively with a staff member while no staff intervened for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Residents Affected - Few Findings: During an observation and concurrent interview on 2/7/24 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 1 was sitting in his bed in his room directly across from the nurses' station. A transfer pole (a floor-to-ceiling grab bar used for transferring between the bed and wheelchair) was noted at his bedside. Resident 1 stated that on 1/28/24 he was in bed and needed to go bad, I needed to have a BM (bowel movement). He stated he waited an hour for his aide, and another aide finally came and got him to the bathroom. Resident 1 stated that later when he saw his aide, Unlicensed Staff A, he told her the other aides can't do all your work for you, you need to pick it up. Resident 1 stated, She (Unlicensed Staff A) got all mad. I told her to quit being so lazy, she said ' you're the one who's lazy, that's why you're in that wheelchair.' When asked how that made him feel, Resident 1 stated, It made me mad. I'm like a ticking time bomb. During an interview on 2/22/24 at 9:21 a.m., Licensed Nurse B stated she remembered the incident with Resident 1 and Unlicensed Staff A on 1/28/24. Licensed Nurse B stated she was at the nurses' station, Resident 1 was in the hallway in his wheelchair, and Unlicensed Staff A was in a room helping a resident. Licensed Nurse B stated Resident 1 started yelling at Unlicensed Staff A, and Unlicensed Staff A responded, If you would just let me finish helping your roommate, I could help you. Licensed Nurse B stated Resident 1 told Unlicensed Staff A, You need to get the fuck out of my room. Licensed Nurse B stated Resident 1 did that a lot, he gets in a mood and goes off on whoever. Licensed Nurse B stated Unlicensed Staff A could have stopped it (Resident 1's behavior) by not responding, but since she said that, it escalated it. It was an ugly scene. During an interview on 2/22/24 at 2:21 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C stated that on 1/28/24 she helped Unlicensed Staff A put a resident back to bed. Unlicensed Staff C stated that when they came out of the resident's room, Unlicensed Staff A had her hands full of dirty laundry and Resident 1's call light was on, so she (Unlicensed Staff C) went to help Resident 1 while Unlicensed Staff A took care of the laundry. Unlicensed Staff C stated Resident 1 started yelling and cussing at Unlicensed Staff A for not helping him, she told him she had been busy and apologized. Unlicensed Staff C stated Unlicensed Staff A went into another resident's room to help him and Resident 1 followed her and continued yelling and cussing at her.

Licensed Nurse E stated Resident 1 was pretty good about being redirected, but if you engage, he gets worse. Licensed Nurse E stated she took Resident 1 down to her office to file a grievance just to remove him from the situation, and that finally stopped it. When asked how the staff should have responded to Resident 1's behavior, Licensed Nurse E stated the charge nurse should have told them to stop and separated them. During an interview on 3/13/24 at 2:51 p.m., Unlicensed Staff A stated she remembered that on 1/28/24 Resident 1 was upset, verbally abusing me, displeased that he didn't get help going number two.

Unlicensed Staff A stated Unlicensed Staff C helped her get a resident back to bed, then she helped Resident 1's roommate with his shower, and, [Resident 1] followed me, verbally abusing me.

Unlicensed Staff A stated she explained to Resident 1 that she cleaned it up, Unlicensed Staff D was just going over the area with a bleach mop, and then [Resident 1] shook his fist at me and threatened to punch me. Unlicensed Staff A verified Unlicensed Staff D was in the room at that time. Unlicensed Staff A stated she looked at the nurses sitting at the nurses' station (across from Resident 1's room) and they were all looking away.

(about his aggression towards Unlicensed Staff A) and they said, No. During an interview on 3/14/24 at 3:53 p.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated that unfortunately the staff were afraid Resident 1 would target them if they intervened when he got aggressive. DON stated her expectation was that staff would de-escalate him when he was aggressive towards staff.

DON verified Licensed Nurse E was the management staff in the facility on 1/28/24 and stated Licensed Nurse E did take Resident 1 to her office to file the grievance. DON verified his behavior put him at risk for abuse. When asked what the facility had done to address that risk, DON stated staff got abuse trainings, in-services, and videos. Documentation of staff trainings regarding Resident 1's behavior of verbal aggression was requested. DON stated she would look. Review of electronic correspondence from DON dated 3/26/24 indicated she was unable to find documentation of staff trainings specific to managing Resident 1's behavior prior to the 1/28/24 incident.
