to understand the questions being asked in English. On 1/30/26 at 10:14 am, an interview with Staff A,
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Unit Manager (UM), said communicating with staff on Unit 3 is easier for
her due to being able to communicate in Spanglish. Staff A, LPN/UM stated it is hard for the CNAs on the
unit to understand clinical questions if you don't speak slowly and clearly. Staff A, LPN/UM said resident
council brings up hearing staff speaking Spanish in the hallways every month. Staff A, LPN/UM said she
tries to encourage staff to speak English as much as possible. Staff A, LPN/UM stated staff will use a
translator application on their phones to communicate between residents and English-speaking staff

SSD said the grievance should be completed to include the resolution. On 1/20/26 at 12:11 pm, an
interview with the Social Worker (SW), said there is a potential issue with Spanish speaking staff and
residents. The SW stated care staff is not allowed to use translators to communicate with the residents. The

specifically document resolutions to grievances presented to them. On 1/30/26 at 12:52 pm, an interview
with the Regional Director of Operations (RDO) said the facility must go beyond verbal communication to
resolve a repeating issue. The RDO stated something more should have been done by the facility to provide
the staff with resources, and residents with resolution to their grievances, and communication in a language
they understand. The RDO said the expectation for staff is to speak the primary language of the residents,
which is primarily English.A review of the facility's Culturally Competent Care policy revealed the following:
It is the policy of this facility to provide culturally competent care in accordance with professional standards
of practice. The facility has established a culture that treats each resident with respect and dignity as an

personal control over choices and cultural preference. 'Culture' is the conceptual system that structures the
way that people view the world-it is the particular set of beliefs, norms, and values that influence ideas
about the nature of relationships, the way people live their lives, and the way people organize the world.
'Cultural Competency' is defined as a developmental process in which individuals or institutions achieve
increasing levels of awareness, knowledge, and skills along a cultural competence continuum. Cultural
competence involves valuing diversity, conducting self-assessments, avoiding stereotypes, managing the
dynamics of difference, and acquiring and institutionalizing cultural knowledge, and adapting to diversity
and cultural contexts in communication. 'Effective communication' describes a process of dialogue between
individuals. The skills include speaking to others in a way they can understand and active listening and
observation of verbal and non-verbal cues. Understanding what the resident is trying to communicate is
essential to giving a response. Additionally, effective communication ensures that information provided to
the resident is provided in a form and manner that the resident can access and understand, including a
language that the resident can understand. The facility will provide sufficient guidance for staff, including
temporary staff, on how to communicate and deliver care for the resident. Direct care staff will be trained on
effective communication that reflects the needs of the resident population and needs of the staff and will
correspond with the Facility Assessment. A review of the facility's Resident and Family grievances policy
dated revised 01/2026, revealed: . 'Prompt efforts to resolve' include the facility acknowledgment of a
complaint/grievance and actively working toward resolution of that complaint/grievance. The facility Social
Services Director has been designated as the Grievance Official and can be reached at [SSD Contact
Number]. The facility will make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.

Resident #3 was assisted indoors, and a code blue was called. Video shows that Resident #3 did not
receive care from [Staff B, CNA] for over 4.5 hours. The statement was signed by Staff A, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN), and dated [DATE]. Review of the facility's abuse logs dated [DATE] through [DATE]
did not reveal the incident with Resident #3. On [DATE] at 11:32 a.m. an interview was conducted with the
Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and the Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS). The NHA stated
there was no allegation of neglect and there would not have been a reason to report/investigate. She stated
at the time the patio was not supervised but staff in the dining room had clear view of the patio. During an
interview on [DATE] at 6:16 p.m. with the RDCS and the NHA they stated they did not investigate/report
Resident #3's sudden death at the patio despite the allegation of the resident being unattended for 4.5
hours. The NHA stated they did not see it as needed to be investigated or reported. On [DATE] at 1:13 p.m.
an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON stated the incident was, just a
regular code, we did not investigate or report. The DON stated at the time there was no hydration cart and
there was no supervision of the patio. The DON stated this was not a reportable event. It was not an abuse
or neglect issue. She said, We would report a death that would be questionable in the facility. If they were
not expected to die. The DON stated Resident #3 had a lot of terminal diagnoses, and the prognosis was
not good. She stated she was surprised he died that day. The DON said regarding the sudden death, It did
not raise an alarm for me. On [DATE] at 4:55 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff C, Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN) and evening supervisor. Staff C stated there was no sign the resident was going to
die. She stated the resident had an appointment the day before and there was, nothing obviously
concerning. Staff C said she did not think to investigate/report as Resident #3 was alert and pushed himself
out to the patio. Staff C said, I was not supervising him. There was no clear view of him while out there. The
incident was not witnessed by staff. We don't know what happened. Staff C stated the resident was
suddenly found unresponsive. On [DATE] at 5:11 p.m., a telephone interview was conducted with Staff B,
CNA. Staff B, CNA said not remembering Resident #3, nor an incident occurring on [DATE]. Staff B, CNA
said, No, I don't have the memory of an elephant. When asked if he recalled the resident sitting outside for
four or more hours, he said he did not leave a resident outside for four hours, but also said he did not
remember the resident. On [DATE] at 9:15 a.m. an interview with the RDCS and the facility's Chief Nursing
Officer (CNO) revealed, We became aware last night of the witness statement of the resident left outside for
4.5 hours and have now reported neglected. We suspended the DON, unit manager and the NHA, pending
investigation. The CNO said they interviewed [Staff A, LPN] and asked why the statement did not go
anywhere. The CNO said, She was essentially focusing on the caregiver not the resident. We know the way
it looks; it is not good, she said the CNA was not good, so she wanted to school the CNA and get back at
him. The RDCS stated Staff A, LPN did not review the video for four and half hours of video. She stated the
administration was not forthcoming at all. She stated they had an unsupervised smoking patio which they
corrected in [DATE]. The RDCS said, I wanted to be transparent. I have integrity. I did not know about the
4.5 hours. I would have investigated it further. The RDCS stated they took immediate action last night and
have several staff members who will not be returning. The RDCS said, We have now reported the neglect
allegation. The CNO stated they became aware the NHA had a culture of hiding everything. She said, She
is not returning. She hid stuff from us. The CNO stated they would not have an unethical culture. On [DATE]
at 9:54 a.m. a follow-up interview was conducted with Staff A, LPN. Staff A, LPN stated the statement
previously written regarding [Resident #3] remained on the patio for 4.5 hours unattended was false. Staff A
said, I do not believe he was toileted, but other staff cared for him. When Resident #3 coded I did not see

words to seemingly emphasize their relevance to him. [Resident #4] reports that a person by the name of
[Staff D, title unknown) comes to his room and violates his space by patting him on the head and pinching
his cheek asking, how is my guy today. He comes to his room at dusk. [Resident #4] feels demeaned by the
interaction. He emphasizes the word violates several times in his conversation. [Resident #4] is not sure of
[Staff D's] role. He does not want [Staff D] returning to his room. This happened in the last several days

refused to give her the call light which was not within reach. The resident reported the staff member said
she was not her assigned CNA and that she did not have a CNA and left. The resident stated she needed
to be changed, and this CNA did not change her. The NHA stated she reviewed Resident #5's chart and did
not see any documentation of the resident being changed, but once at 8:17 p.m. She stated she
interviewed the CNA who was assigned and they said they were attending to another resident but
eventually came back to Resident #5. The NHA stated they did not have an exact time when this occurred.
She stated they could not get to the bottom of it because, the resident has glaucoma, she could not see
clearly to tell us who it was. The NHA stated the resident was seen by psych and denied being abused. The
NHA said the resident said, it was probably a misunderstanding. She stated having witness statements that
were not reviewed during this investigation process. The NHA stated she treated this as a neglect incident
and did not see it as abuse. She said it was not abuse because there was no physical injury. The NHA said
she was notified
