Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect one of five sampled resident's ( Resident
1) right to be free from psychological abuse by a Certified Nursing Assistant ( CNA 1) and Unlicensed Staff
1, when Resident 1 was forced to unclog her room's toilet , which contained urine and feces, with her own
gloved hands while the door to room was purposely left open.This failure made Resident 1 feel
embarrassed, humiliated and victimized and negatively impacted her psychological well-being.A review of
Resident 1's admission record indicated she was admitted in 05/25, with the diagnosis of Paranoid
Schizophrenia (a serious mental health condition where a person has a hard time telling the difference
between what is real and what is not).A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a Federally
Mandated assessment tool), dated 11/28/25, indicated Resident 1 had no memory impairment, no
symptoms of depression, no hallucinations and no behavioral symptoms.A review of an SBAR
(SBAR-Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) note, dated 11/19 at 4:16 pm, indicated
Resident 1 reported to the Case Manager and Program Director feelings of emotional distress after an
interaction with staff. It further indicated Resident 1 had no prior incidents and reported feeling
embarrassed and humiliated by the interaction.During an interview on 12/10/25 at 11:45 am, with Resident
1, Resident 1 recalled the incident in detail. Resident 1 stated that CNA A came to the dining room and
asked Resident 1 to come with CNA A to her room where Unlicensed Staff C was waiting with a bag. CNA
A proceeded to instruct Resident 1 to remove the contents of the toilet, which contained urine and feces,
with gloved hands because it was not fair to Unlicensed Staff C. Resident 1 stated she was shocked and
did not know what to do, so she complied. Resident 1 asked CNA A to please close the door and CNA A
refused. Resident 1 stated, I felt extremely embarrassed, humiliated and victimized. I felt [CNA 1] was
intentionally trying to humiliate and control me.During an interview on 12/10/25 at 3:36 pm, with the
Director of the Behavioral Health Program (DBH), the DBH stated she was shocked by the accusation and
CNA A's behavior was inappropriate and wrong and would not be tolerated, and CNA A and Unlicensed
Staff B were both terminated due to the incident. The DBH stated the incident would make the resident feel
fearful, concerned about retaliation, and humiliated.A review of the facility's 5-day summary report, dated
11/25/25, indicated CNA A admitted to her actions and stated she was trying to teach Resident 1 a lesson.
The report further indicated Unlicensed Staff C confirmed the incident to be true. A review of the facility's
policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation Prevention Program, revised 4/2021,
stipulated, residents have the right to be free from abuse, including verbal abuse and mental abuse and the
facility has a commitment to prevent resident abuse by anyone.

or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an abuse allegation was properly
investigated when the facility did not interview other residents as part of its investigation.This failure
prevented the facility from identifying other residents who could have been affected. Findings:A review of
the facility document titled, 5- day summary report, dated 11/25/25, indicated Resident 1 was the only
resident interviewed related to the abuse allegation.During an interview on 12/10/25 at 3:36 p.m., with the
Director of Behavioral Health (DBH), the DBH stated she had not interviewed other residents during the
investigation, and everything that had been done during the investigation was documented on the 5-day
summary report.During an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:30 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM
stated they had not interviewed other residents during the investigation. The ADM further stated,
interviewing other residents was part of the policy and in principle, they should have to make sure no other
residents were affected. A review of the facility policy titled, Abuse Investigation, dated 2/08, indicated the
individual conducting the investigation, would, as a minimum, interview the resident's roommate and other
residents to whom the accused employee provides care or services.
