Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (Resident 1) of nine sampled
residents was free from abuse when Resident 1 became the victim of an alleged abuse event.This failure
had the potential to negatively impact the resident's psychosocial well-being.A review of Resident 1's
admission record indicated he was admitted in October 2025 with the diagnosis of encounter for palliative
care (specialized medical care for individuals living with serious, chronic or life threatening illness that
focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain and stress), acute chronic systolic (congestive) heart
failure (a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg
swelling), muscle weakness, hearing loss and absence of left leg, below the knee.A review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 1/10/26, indicated
Resident 1 had slight memory impairment.In an interview, on 1/29/26 at 10:41 a.m. the Director of Nursing
(DON) stated the facility substantiated the allegation of abuse and CNA 1 was terminated from her position.
A review of a Termination Request email dated 1/12/26 at 12:30 p.m. by the Administrator and written to the
corporate office stated, I am requesting to terminate employee [CNA 1] for abuse. The employee was
overheard while providing a shower to a resident yelling and swearing. The resident was visibly bothered
upon the interview. An interview on 1/29/26 at 1:21 p.m. with Resident 1, Resident 1 stated CNA 1 yelled
and sweared [sic] at him and he did not like how he was treated.A review of Resident 1's care plan, dated
1/12/26 indicated Resident 1 was a victim of alleged abuse secondary to CNA [1] yelling at him when in the
shower and calling him an asshole. During a review of the facility's policy titled, Abuse Prevention and
Management, effective 2024, the policy stipulated, The facility does not condone any form of resident
abuse., include[ing] verbal abuse. Verbal abuse is defined as any use of oral, written, gestured
communication, or sounds that willfully includes despairing and derogatory terms directed to resident.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement their abuse policy for one (Resident 1)
of nine sampled residents when a licensed nurse did not immediately document an assessment and
conduct 72-hour monitoring for Resident 1 after an alleged abuse incident.This failure had the potential to
deny physician and family involvement in the residents' care and result in unmet nursing needs for the
resident.A review of Resident 1's admission record indicated he was admitted in October 2025 with the
diagnosis of encounter for palliative care (specialized medical care for individuals living with serious,
chronic or life threatening illness that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms, pain and stress), acute
chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure (a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood
efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling), muscle weakness, hearing loss and absence of left leg,
below the knee.A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident
assessment tool), dated 1/10/26, indicated Resident 1 had slight memory impairment.In an interview on
1/29/26 at 10:41 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON confirmed she was aware of the
allegation of abuse that occurred on 1/9/26. The DON stated she expected licensed nurses to have charted
a Change of Condition (COC) on the resident's chart, documented when the MD and family were notified,
updated the residents' care plan and monitor the residents for 72 hours after the alleged abuse incident.
The DON further stated she also expected the Social Services Director (SSD) to follow-up with the resident
and document what occurred during the conversation.In a concurrent interview and record review on
1/29/26 at 10:25 a.m., the DON confirmed the social services 72-hour checks were lacking and there was
no assessment documented or progress notes.A review of the facility's undated Abuse Reporting and
Documentation lesson plan indicated LNs were to, complete assessment. and skin assessment of alleged

policy titled, Abuse Prevention and Management, revised 5/30/24, indicated, the resident will be assessed
by the licensed nurse for any physical injuries or emotional distress. Notify the physician and provide
treatment as ordered.
