Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1) from mental and emotional abuse when Resident 1's visitor/caregiver displayed
anger by physical aggression in Resident 1's room and was verbally aggressive to Resident 1. This failure
had the potential for Resident 1 to experience mental anguish and psychosocial distress. A review of
Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in March 2025 with multiple
diagnoses including neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (loss of bladder control due to nerve
damage), protein calorie malnutrition (decreased protein and calorie intake causing weight loss and
nutritional deficiencies), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and congestive heart failure (heart does not
pump blood as efficiently as it should). The admission Record indicated Resident 1's visitor/caregiver was
his Responsible Party (RP) and healthcare decision maker. A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS- federally mandated assessment tool), Cognitive Patterns, dated 12/22/25, indicated Resident 1 had
a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- tool to assess cognition) score of 9 out of 15 that indicated
Resident 1 had moderate cognitive impairment.A review of Resident 1's orders, indicated order dated
3/26/25, .Resident does not have capacity to make decisions . A review of Resident 1's Nurses Progress
Note, dated 1/31/26 at 10:09 a.m., indicated .Resident room mate reported to the cna [Certified Nursing
Assistant] that RP is physically abusing resident but when LN [Licensed Nurse] spoke with resident he just
laughed over it and said we were just fooling around Another cna also said RP is violent because she
witnessed the RP kicking the wall and resident bedside drawer when he discovered that resident drawer
was cleaned and a pair of scissors he left in the drawer has been removed . A review of Resident 1's
Nurses Progress Note, dated 2/2/26 at 3:32 p.m., indicated the name of the form . [Report of Suspected

three sampled residents (Resident 1) to The Department within the regulatory timeframe, when Resident
