Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement policies and procedures
(P&P) for ensuring the reporting of a reasonable suspicion of abuse in accordance with section 1150B of
the Act for one of five sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 alleged that a female staff grabbed
him firmly on the right arm.
This failure resulted in a delayed investigation of Resident 1's abuse complaint and had placed Resident 1
and other residents in the facility at risk for further abuse, and possible serious physical and/or
psychosocial harm.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's clinical record indicated Resident 1 was admitted January of 2024 and had
diagnoses that included parkinsonism (a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, slowed movement,
rigidity, and postural instability), care provider dependency, weakness, and depression (a mood disorder
that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily lives).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool used to guide care) Cognitive
Patterns, dated 6/26/24, indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to
assess cognition) score of 13 out of 15 which indicated Resident 1 had an intact cognition. A review of
Resident 1's MDS Mood status, dated 6/26/24, indicated Resident 1 had experienced feeling down,
depressed, or hopeless half or more of the days in two weeks. A review of Resident 1's MDS Functional
Abilities, dated 6/26/24, indicated Resident 1 needed partial/moderate assistance with toileting hygiene,
showering/bathing, and upper body dressing.
During an observation on 8/22/24 at 11:20 a.m. at Resident 1's room, Resident 1 was observed to be
wearing a gray hand splint on the right hand.
During an interview on 8/22/24 at 11:44 a.m. with Resident 1's daughter/ Responsible Party (RP) 1, RP 1
stated when she visited Resident 1 on the morning of 8/14/24, Resident 1 told her about his complaint on
his right arm. RP 1 further stated, .Yes, I told them [nursing staff] about his [Resident 1] complaint of his
arm, I told [name of Licensed Nurse (LN) 1]. I did tell [name of LN 1] about dad saying that a female went
and grabbed him in the arm firmly. That time, he [Resident 1] was so adamant that I listen to him [Resident
1], and he wrote the number 5. He [Resident 1] was basically saying it happened around 5 a.m . I notified
the nurse around 11 a.m. of that day .When I talked to her [LN 2], the nurse already had noticed about his
[Resident 1] arm .He [Resident 1] was in a lot of pain. They [nursing staff] knew but were not sure why he
[Resident 1] was hurting.
