This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

Resident 1 sustained facial injuries when Resident 2 hit her in the face with a water bottle. Despite both residents being cognitively impaired, Resident 2's act of hitting Resident 2 in the face was deliberate to inflict harm or injury, not accidental; therefore her action is deemed as a willful act and considered abuse.The facility was aware Resident 2 had a history of both physical and verbal behaviors. This failure has the potential of both physical and emotional harm to all residents. Findings: On 3/4/2023, the facility submitted a facsimile (FAX) to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) about an incident between Residents 1 and 2. The FAX showed Resident 2 hit Resident 1 with a water bottle and Resident 1 sustained redness around her left eye and a small cut on the right side of her nose. Review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Resident to Resident Altercations (revised date December 2016) showed facility staff will monitor residents for aggressive/inappropriate behavior towards other residents Make any necessary changes in the care plan approaches to any or all the involved individuals; document in the resident ' s clinical record all interventions and their effectiveness and consult psychiatric services as needed .

Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including traumatic subdural hemorrhage (brain injury resulting from a fall) with loss of consciousness, cognitive communication deficit and adjustment disorder with anxiety. Her Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool) dated 2/1/2023, showed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 3 (severely impaired cognition). Review of Resident 1's Physician Order dated 2/3/2022, showed an order for a psychiatry and/or psychology evaluation and treatment as needed. Review of Resident 1's Psychiatry Diagnostic Interview note dated 10/28/2022, showed Resident 1 had (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

The goal: will have fewer than 3 episodes per shift of verbally abusing staff such as yelling or sudden outbursts of anger. Interventions: assess resident's understanding of the situation and allow time for her to express her feelings. 6. a problem to address her non-compliance/refusal to wear and identification band (initiated 9/15/2022, revised 9/15/2022). Interventions included: explain benefits of wearing the name band and risk and consequences of not wearing it. Review of the facility's Inservice Records showed: 1. On 1/18/2023: Dealing with residents with aggressive or catastrophic reactions and 2. On 3/20-24/2023, Alzheimer/Dementia was given; however, the Lesson Plans were titled Communicating Effectively with Dementia Residents and Recognizing Symptoms of Dementia and Calming Fears.

She stated Resident 2's behaviors included angry outbursts, and yelling and screaming at staff. When the ADON was asked was any attempt made to determine possible triggers that may affect Resident 2's outbursts and yelling, she did not know. The ADON confirmed Resident 2 should be monitored for aggressive behavior, but was unable to locate the monitoring or care plan problem. When the ADON was asked about Resident 2's care plan problems and if the goals and/or interventions were compatible with Resident 2's severely impaired cognition, she did not answer.

Resident 2 had an episode of physical aggression with another resident. The facility failed to have a psychiatrist available at the facility to reevaluate and provide proper treatment. This deficient practice has the potential to negatively affect the delivery of services for all residents with a mental disorder. Residents Affected - Few Findings: Clinical record review for Resident 2 was conducted on 6/7/2023. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including vascular dementia (changes to memory, thinking and behavior, decline in thinking skills), severe with other behavioral disturbances, major depressive disorder, and unspecified mood (affective) disorder. Review of Resident 2 physician's order dated 9/14/2022 showed an order to have Psychiatry and/or Psychology evaluation, treatment and follow up as needed. Review of Resident 2's Psychiatry Diagnostic Interview note dated 11/18/2022 showed Resident 2 was alert, angry and confused. The staff reported the resident displays angry outbursts which are often difficult to redirect. The NP documented the staff continued to monitor and document the resident's episodes of severe agitation, yelling and verbal abuse towards the staff. She documented the resident had aggressive, and verbal behaviors, was irritable, angry, poor impulse control, insight/judgment. The plan and recommendations included monitoring for mood and behavior for verbal aggression and anger. Review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool) dated 2/10/2023, shows a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 2 (severely impaired cognition) with inattention and disorganized thinking. On 6/7/2023 at 12:15 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Social Service Director (SSD).

The SSD stated the psychiatrist comes to the facility twice a month; however, she only came twice in April, once in May and currently once in June. When the SSD was asked if a referral for Resident 2 to be reevaluated by the psychiatrist after her physical aggressive behavior on 3/4/2023, he stated he did not get a referral from the staff to order one. An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 6/7/2023 at 12:10 p.m When he was asked about having a psychiatrist evaluation for Resident 2's aggressive behavior, he stated the facility did not have any available Psychiatrist since the end of 2022, but a new Psychiatrist started about 2 months ago.
