This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 2 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, facility record review, hospital record review, and policy review the facility failed to protect residents' right to be free from physical, verbal, psychological, psychosocial and sexual abuse to one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed, by failing to provide medication and supervision to an unsafe resident. On 1/20/2024 at approximately 3:35 AM Resident #1 was punched repeatedly in the face and sexually assaulted by Resident #2 in Resident #1's room. The facility failed to provide supervision of Resident #2, who was exhibiting poor impulse control, combativeness, erratic behavior, aggressive behavior and was difficult to redirect. Resident #2 required two psychiatric medication changes in the first five days of his stay in the facility and four days later he assaulted Resident #1. Resident #2's admission medication was not correctly transcribed and of the two medication changes made only one was administered, and that one, only once. This failure created a situation that resulted in serious injury to Resident #1 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 1/17/2024. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 1/29/2024 and the severity and scope was reduced to a D after verification of removal of immediacy of harm. Findings include: An interview was conducted with Staff C, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on 2/5/2024 at 1:58 PM. Staff C, CNA stated, on the evening of 1/20/2024, she was sitting at nurse station, charting. Staff D, CNA was assigned to Resident #1's room. Staff D, CNA was on the split assignment (assigned to rooms on two separate halls). Staff C, CNA stated she passed Resident #1's room [ROOM NUMBER] minutes earlier and Resident #1 was in her bed asleep with the door open. Staff C, CNA stated [Resident #1 name]'s call light went on. [Staff D name, CNA] went to answer the call light. [Staff D name, CNA] yelled for me that the door was jammed and there was a man on top of [Resident #1 name]. I ran to the room. We pushed the door open. [Resident #2 name] was in the chair naked, putting his clothes on. I was yelling for nurses to come. When the nurses arrived, we tried to get him out of the room. [Resident #2 name] started punching me and one of the nurses. [Resident #2 name] left the room followed by a nurse. [Resident #1 name] wanted to go to bathroom, so we assisted. [Resident #1 name]'s eyes were swollen shut, her face was bloody, and she was crying. The nurse assisted [Resident #1 name] from there. Staff C, CNA stated she later spoke to Resident #1. Resident #1 told me He tried to rape me but couldn't get 'it' in, so he stuck his finger up me. Staff C, CNA stated after Resident #1 left her room for a cigarette with the nurse, we changed the linens on her bed and found her tooth.

Staff D, CNA stated the door to Resident #1's room was blocked by two wheelchairs, both wheelchairs had their wheels locked. This is why she couldn't get the door open by herself.

Specifically, this individual does have a major mental disorder with associated significant symptoms. Once psychiatrically cleared, given the information provided for the review, a nursing facility placement is determined to be appropriate due to the patient's medical needs, and the need for medication management. The patient does not appear independently capable of self- monitoring his health status, nutritional status, or self- administration and scheduling medical treatment. Specialized Services are deemed not necessary given the client does not appear to need acute inpatient psychiatric care at this time. It is recommended that the following rehabilitative services, of a lesser intensity than Specialized Services, are added to the patient's Comprehensive Person- Centered Nursing Care Plan: - Psychiatric medication management - Supportive counseling. Supportive services cannot be effectively provided in a less restrictive environment at this time are recommended to be provided at the nursing facility. If he is unable to return home, all efforts should be made to transition him to a less restrictive environment such as an Assisted Living Facility that can meet his mental health needs, if agreed upon by the treating physician. The patient should be encouraged to participate in socialization and enrichment activities appropriate for his level of function. Given his history, care staff should monitor for symptoms of psychosis, and report any problems to the treatment team. Should there be a significant change in his mental status, it is recommended that an additional Level II review should be conducted.

Supportive services cannot be effectively provided in a less restrictive environment at this time are recommended to be provided at the nursing facility. If he is unable to return home, all efforts should be made to transition him to a less restrictive environment such as an Assisted Living Facility that can meet his mental health needs, if agreed upon by the treating physician. The patient should be encouraged to participate in socialization and enrichment activities appropriate for his level of function. Given his history, care staff should monitor for symptoms of psychosis, and report any problems to the treatment team.
