agency for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1). * Resident 1 alleged CNA 1 shook the resident's
shower chair, pulled and yanked their hands, and kicked them. This failure had the potential for Resident 1
to be vulnerable to further abuse and emotional distress.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse,
Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation - Reporting and Investigating revised 4/2024 showed all the
reports of resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft/ misappropriation of resident property are reported
to local, state, and federal agencies (as required by current regulations) and thoroughly investigated by the
facility management. If resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of resident property or injury
of unknown source is suspected, the suspicion must be reported immediately to the administrator and to
other officials according to the state law. Immediately is defined as: a. within two hours of an allegation
involving abuse or result in physical harm/serious bodily injury; or b. within 24 hours of an allegation that
does not involve abuse or result in physician harm/serious bodily injury. Further review of the facility's P&P
showed the administrator or the individual making the allegation immediately reports his or her suspicion to
the following persons or agencies:a. The state licensing. certification agency responsible for
surveying/licensing the facility;b. The local/state ombudsman;c. The resident's representative;d. Adult
protective services (where state law provides jurisdiction in long-term care);e. Law enforcement officials;f.

Program received an SOC 341 report regarding Resident 1. The report showed Resident 1 alleged
experiencing physical abuse at the facility about three months ago (August 2025). Resident 1 reported CNA
1 was showering with the resident, lathering her, and causing her not to be able to breathe. Resident 1 said
CNA 1 took offense to something that was said and then started shaking the resident's shower chair,
pulling, yanking my hands back, and kicking me. Resident 1 stated she reported this to the other CNAs and
one nurse practitioner. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 11/12/25. Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on [DATE], readmitted on [DATE], and discharged on 10/20/25. Review of
Resident 1's H&P examination dated 8/15/25, showed Resident 1 had the capacity to understand and make
decisions. Review of Resident 1's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed Resident 1 had moderately
impaired cognition. Review of Resident 1's medical record failed to show any documentation of Resident 1's
allegation of abuse by CNA 1. On 11/12/25 at 1035 hours, an interview was conducted with the
Administrator and DON. The Administrator and DON stated they were not aware of any abuse allegation for
Resident 1. On 11/12/25 at 1315 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated
