Respond appropriately to all alleged violations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its abuse policy when Certified
Nursing Assistant B (CNA B) was allowed to return to work after a physical and sexual abuse allegation
was made against him, and prior to the facility completing their abuse investigation.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure caused Resident 1 to feel unsafe, and potentially placed other residents, who were cared for by
CNA B, at risk of abuse.
Findings:
During an interview on 4/25/25 at 2:50 p.m., the Administrator stated Resident 1 had reported that CNA B
had pushed her and had jumped on her roommate. The Administrator stated the facility's investigation into
the incident was in process (not finished). The Administrator stated Resident 1's roommate (Resident 2)
screamed when CNAs provided ADL (Activities of Daily Living; care such as eating, dressing, bathing, and
toileting) care and Resident 1 may have inferred she was being abused. When asked how Resident 1 and
Resident 2 were being protected during the investigation, Administrator stated he had immediately
suspended CNA B.
Review of Resident 1's MDS (Minimum Data Set - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated
2/10/25, her BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status; an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and
identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) was 13 (cognitively intact).
During an interview on 4/25/25 at 3:15 p.m., Resident 1 stated the previous night (4/24/25), CNA B had not
fed Resident 2 (the roommate) her meal; she stated CNA B also pushed her (Resident 1) shoulder.
Resident 1 stated two months earlier, CNA B was on top of Resident 2 on the bed; she stated the curtains
were pulled around the bed but she could see through an opening in the material. Resident 1 stated if CNA
B returned to the facility, she would not feel safe.
During an interview on 4/25/25 at 4:20 p.m., the Social Worker (SW) stated Resident 1 reported to them
that she was giving Resident 2 a sandwich, but CNA B took it away and pushed her. The SW also stated
Resident 1 had alleged staff had grabbed Resident 2, threw her on the bed, men had sex with Resident 2,
and she heard Resident 2 screaming. SW stated the facility suspended CNA B.
During an interview on 4/28/25 at 3:10 p.m., Resident 1 stated she had seen CNA B in the building over the
weekend (4/26-4/27/25) but he was not taking care of the three women in her room. When asked if she felt
safe, Resident 1 stated, hell no!
