What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 35 deficiencies, 3 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 two (Residents 149 and 42) of three sampled residents' rights to be free from verbal abuse by a staff member (Unlicensed Staff D). This failure resulted in Residents 149 and 42 to experience fear and verbalize feelings of being unsafe, which could lead to negative effects to the residents' emotional and psychosocial well-being. Findings: Record review of the Grievance Binder on 3/16/23 2:42 p.m. revealed the facility received two verbal abuse allegations against Unlicensed Staff D, from Residents 149 and 42, on 2/27/23. During a concurrent interview, Social Services Director (SSD) stated she verbally reported the incidents to the Administrator immediately on 2/27/23. A review of Resident 149's admission Record indicated diagnoses including need for weakness, assistance with personal care, and anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations). A review of Resident 149's Grievance Resolution Form, dated Date Received: 2/27/23, Time: 2:15, indicated, SUMMARY STATEMENT OF THE RESIDENT'S GRIEVANCE: Resident asked a CNA [Unlicensed Staff D] to move the chair . and the CNA responded rudely and threatened her . She does not feel safe around this CNA and resident said that she is afraid of her and does not want her near her. During an interview on 3/17/23 at 9:01 a.m., Resident 149 stated Unlicensed Staff D was rude and would not listen to her request to move a chair that was blocking her path to the bathroom. Resident 149 stated Unlicensed Staff D raised her voice and asked, Why are you arguing with me?! Resident 149 paused and looked down on her clasped hands on her lap. A few moments passed, and in a quiet voice, Resident 149 stated, I don't like it when people yell at me. She did not have to yell at me. When asked how the incident made her feel, Resident 149 stated, I was scared. I feel like I was threatened. Resident 149 stated, If I did not speak up, what if she was doing the same thing to others? A review of Resident 42's admission Record indicated diagnoses including major depressive disorder (A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life) and anxiety disorder. Resident 42's Grievance Resolution Form, dated Date Received: 02/27/23, Time: 2:00 p.m., indicated, SUMMARY STATEMENT OF THE RESIDENT'S GRIEVANCE: .a female CNA . got right in her face . she does not feel safe around that CNA and does not want to work with her again .

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some needed help with her shoes from Unlicensed Staff D. Resident 42 stated she was explaining how she needed to put her foot down to secure the straps of her shoes, when Unlicensed Staff D cut her off and stated, I know what I'm doing. Don't tell me what to do. Resident 42 stated Unlicensed Staff D leaned close to her face and told her to stop hollering at me. Resident 42, with eyes wide, demonstrated how close Unlicensed Staff was, by holding a palm about two inches from her face. Resident 42, occasionally blinking back tears during the interview, stated, It was scary. I've never had anybody do that to me in the real world; I did not expect that to ever happen here. Resident 42 stated Unlicensed Staff D continued to be assigned to her care even after she had notified staff about the incident. During an interview on 3/17/23 at 10:03 a.m., the Administrator stated he was the facility's Abuse Coordinator. Administrator stated he investigated the event and interviewed Residents 149 and 42 but was unable to substantiate the events as abuse. When asked if yelling and threatening gestures such as towering and intimidation could be considered abuse, Administrator stated there were some customer service issues and attitudes, but as both Residents 149 and 42 stated they were not abused, the facility therefore determined it was not abuse. During an interview on 3/20/23 at 8:21 a.m., Director of Staff Development (DSD) stated yelling at, aggression towards, and threatening residents are abusive behaviors. DSD stated such incidents should immediately be stopped, reported to the nurse. DSD stated, We need to protect the residents. DSD stated Unlicensed Staff D's actions towards Residents 149 and 42 were threatening, inappropriate, and abusive. During an interview on 3/20/23 at 8:48 a.m., Director of Nursing (DON) stated abuse could be any inappropriate interaction with residents. DON stated inappropriate tone, such as demeaning or yelling, and intimidation, were abusive. DON stated Unlicensed Staff D's actions were inappropriate, and [Unlicensed Staff D] should have been suspended immediately. A review of the facility policy titled, Abuse: Prevention of and Prohibition Against, dated 10.2022, indicated, It is the policy of this Facility that each resident has the right to be free from abuse . Abuse if the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish . It includes verbal abuse . Willful as used in this definition of abuse, means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm . Verbal abuse includes the use of oral, written, or gestured language that willfully includes disparaging and derogatory terms to residents .

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and/or implement policies and procedures for ensuring the reporting of a reasonable suspicion of a crime in accordance with section 1150B of the Act, when two of three resident abuse allegations (by Residents 149 and 42) were not reported to other officials, including to the Department, in accordance with State law. This failure decreased the Department's ability to ensure a complete investigation and appropriate interventions were started and implemented timely to protect Residents 149 and 42, and the 40 other vulnerable residents, from further potential abuse reoccurrence. (Cross Reference F600) Findings: Record review of the Grievance Binder on 3/16/23 2:42 p.m. revealed the facility received two verbal abuse allegations against Unlicensed Staff D, from Residents 149 and 42, on 2/27/23.

The Administrator stated the investigation was conducted by interviewing both Residents 149 and 42, and Unlicensed Staff D. Concurrent review of the investigation reports provided by the Administrator revealed two undated pages indicating, Interview with Ms. [Resident 149] and Interview [Resident 42]. Further review revealed the pages contained a summary of the interviews between the Administrator and Residents 149 and 42. When asked if there were any other investigation notes, Administrator stated it was all written on the pages provided. A review of Resident 149's admission Record indicated diagnoses including need for weakness, assistance with personal care, and anxiety disorder (a mental health disorder characterized by intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations). A review of Resident 149's Grievance Resolution Form, dated Date Received: 2/27/23, Time: 2:15, indicated, SUMMARY STATEMENT OF THE RESIDENT'S GRIEVANCE: Resident asked a CNA [Unlicensed Staff D] to move the chair . and the CNA responded rudely and threatened her .

F 0802 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service. Based on dietetic service observations, dietary staff interviews, and administrative document review, the facility failed to ensure dietary staff had competencies and skills to carry out the functions of the food and nutritional services safely and effectively, when Dietary Staff did not: 1. Test dishwasher chlorine following manufactures instructions 2. Ensure freezer thermometers were functioning and accurate freezer temperatures were recorded on logs 3. Monitor Potentially hazardous foods (food that could cause food borne illness if not prepared and stored properly) for safe cool down. These deficient practices resulted in creating a false sense of security as to the safety of food preparation, and potentially expose Residents to food-borne illness. Findings: During an initial observation of the kitchen on 3/13/23 at 11:15 a.m., Dietary Staff L was asked what type of dishwasher she used. Dietary Staff L stated a low-pressure dishwasher. Dietary Staff L was asked to check the chlorine of the dishwater. Dietary Staff L took an ECO lab (brand name) chloride test strip and held the strip in the water for approximately 30 seconds and read the results at above 100. When asking Dietary Staff L how long to keep the test strip in the water she stated about 30 seconds. Review of the manufactures directions for using the Eco Lab chlorine test strip indicated, to dip the test strip into the water and remove immediately. When asking Dietary Staff L if the chloride test was done following the directions, she stated, No. During an observation of the kitchen on 3/13/23 at 2:00 p.m., a small freezer chest contained frozen chubs of beef and meats and contained two thermometers with broken mercury lines.
