with the facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation, dated 12/19/2022, for
one of two sampled residents (Resident 1).
This failure resulted in the delay of notification to the Department and other officials and had the potential
for Resident 1 to be subjected to potential further abuse.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated, the facility admitted Resident 1
to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy (brain disease that alters brain
function or structure), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes
blood sugar), and dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care screening
tool), dated 7/2/2024, the MDS indicated, Resident 1 had severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions)
cognitive skills (ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated, Resident 1 required setup or clean-up
assistance from staff for eating and personal hygiene.

someone hitting Resident 1 on the shoulder to the Department and other officials because the ADM
determined it was not possible that someone had hit Resident 1 on the shoulder.
During an interview on 8/8/2024 at 1:03 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident
1 informed the DON that a guy (unidentified) tried to pat Resident 1 on the arm and that Resident 1 hit the
