Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement policies and procedures to ensure
a reasonable suspicion of crime was reported for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for abuse, of a total sample of 6
residents, (#3).
Findings:
Review of resident #3's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
of anemia and depression.
Review of resident #3's quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment with Assessment Reference Date of
4/16/23 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 15 which indicated intact cognition. The
assessment showed resident #3 required extensive assistance with Activities of Daily Living. The
assessment indicated resident #3 did not reject evaluation or care needed to achieve her goals for health
and well-being.
On 6/20/23 at 12:21 PM, resident #3 stated some Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were really rough
when providing care to her. She explained CNAs had pushed her hard on her head and pulled her arm. She
explained when this happened, she reported it to the Unit Manager (UM) but she did not know what they
did after that. She shared she liked to do things her way when being dressed or moved but she could not
stand up by herself and CNAs did not always want her to do as much as she could. She recalled a few
weeks ago, she reported this during a Resident Council meeting. She stated this issue was still ongoing
with CNAs.
Review of the Grievance Log for March 2023 revealed resident #3 had filed a grievance on 3/21/23.
On 6/20/23 at 1:23 PM, the Unit Manager (UM) explained his responsibilities included to mediate between
nurses and family members when issues arise. He stated when he learned about a resident or
representative concern, he discussed it with them directly. He indicated resident #3 had not discussed
concerns with him but he recalled a couple of residents who mentioned CNAs were a little rough during
care. He stated he addressed the residents' concerns with their assigned CNAs directly. He noted the
CNAs told him residents were too heavy and one CNA was petite and did not have the strength, which
came across as rough. He recalled telling the CNA to find help from other staff when needing assistance
with a resident because it was not acceptable to be rough. He indicated he had reported this to the Director
of Nursing (DON).
On 6/21/23 at 12:00 PM, the Social Services Director (SSD) stated she started working at the

facility about 2 months ago. She explained as the grievance officer, she was responsible for handling the
grievances. She indicated grievances were discussed with the interdisciplinary team.
On 6/21/23 at 12:05 PM, the Administrator stated on 3/21/23, resident #3 filed a grievance because the 11
PM to 7 AM shift did not provide proper care and staff did not listen to her preferences. Review of the
grievance forms showed two grievance forms dated the same day for the same issue but different wording.
One form included CNAs were rough and On 3/19/23 during ADL care part of the bandage was ripped. The
Administrator stated the former DON provided education to the 11 PM to 7 AM shift staff, but she could not
provide evidence of the education. She recalled speaking to resident #3 to get additional details and clarify
what the resident meant but did not recall the details. She stated the resident told her care had improved
but the CNAs were not consistent. She stated it was not like abuse or neglect or she would have taken it a
step further because they self-report. The Administrator read out loud the Physical Abuse description
included in the facility's Abuse Prevention Program policy, used to educate their employees. She read,
Physical Abuse: Physically harming a person through such actions as slapping, bruising, cutting, burning,
physically restraining, pushing, shoving, or even rough handling. The Administrator stated this was handled
as a grievance and it was not reported as abuse.
Review of the Abuse Prevention Program policy and procedure, revised on 01/2022, read As part of the
resident abuse prevention, the administration will 1. Protect our residents from abuse by anyone . 6. Identify
and assess all possible incidents of abuse . 7. Thoroughly investigate and document . 8. Report all
allegations of abuse within timeframes as required by federal requirements . 9. Protect residents during
abuse investigations and protect resident(s) from further harm during the investigation by providing
resident(s) with a safe environment . The document revealed the Administrator was responsible for the
overall implementation of the policies and procedures that prohibited abuse.
Review of the Facility Assessment Tool dated 6/05/23 revealed the staff received education and
competency on Mandatory State & Federal training including abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The
document read, Training that a minimum educates staff on - (1) Activities that constitute abuse, neglect . (2)
Procedures for reporting incidents, of abuse . ; and (3) Care/management for persons with dementia and
resident abuse prevention.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent abuse, accurately report allegation of abuse to the
Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and thoroughly investigate an allegation of abuse for 1 of 2
residents reviewed for abuse of a total sample of 6 residents, (#1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Review of resident #1's medical record revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses
including type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia.
Review of resident #1's admission Minimum Data Set assessment with Assessment Reference Date of
4/13/23 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status score of 6 out of 15 which indicated she was severely
cognitively impaired. The assessment showed resident #1 required extensive assistance with Activities of
Daily Living. The assessment indicated resident #1 did not reject evaluation or care needed to achieve her
goals for health and well-being.
Review of resident #1's medical record revealed Weekly Skin Audit was performed on 4/24/23, 5/02/23,
5/22/23 and 6/05/23.
Review of the Nursing Homes Federal Reporting Five Day Report submitted to AHCA on 5/15/23 revealed
an alleged abuse incident for resident #1 on 5/15/23 at 1:30 PM. The AHCA report was completed by the
Administrator. The report noted resident #1 reported in Spanish that a staff member in scrubs rushed her
during her meal, slapped her in the face, and punched her in her belly. The report included resident #1 was
unable to describe the meal, the day it occurred or the person, and she only knew it was a female staff
member. The report indicated the Interim Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator were notified on
5/15/23 at approximately 1:30 PM. The Investigative Findings section of the report noted resident #1 ate a
type of meat and rice on the day of the incident and the facility looked at the Certified Nursing Assistants
(CNAs) and nurses assigned to resident #1 on those days, 5/7/23 and 5/10/23 but they did not match the
description of a light complexioned black young lady. The report included that when resident #1 was asked
by the DON if she had seen the staff member in question since the incident, she responded she had not.
The report showed this allegation of abuse was not substantiated and staff were provided in-service on
abuse and neglect and the reporting of such.
The following Witness Statements, collected during the investigation, were reviewed:
CNA F - On 5/14/23 she was in resident #1's room where the resident was with her daughter and she was
told a CNA, name starting with an E, had slapped her. CNA F wrote, (resident #1's name) speaks Spanish
so her daughter was translating but she was also using hand gestures to demonstrate what had happened.
She went into details stating that she had used the call button and a CNA came in and snatched it from her
and slapped her in the face. Resident could not recall date and time of the incident and her story had been
consistent. I advised her CNA (name of CNA) and acting DON (name).
CNA G wrote, On 5/14 at around 4:30 PM I (his full name) spoke with (resident #1's name) in room
(number) and her daughter regarding a complaint that the resident had been slapped in the face by an
employee in a scrub outfit. The resident is Spanish speaking, so the daughter was translating. The resident
could not recall accurately the date and time of the incident but only that it occurred at a

woman fed her quickly and responded to call light. The woman was described as wearing scrubs, came into
room hit the button to turn off the call light and slapped the resident on the face. The daughter asked the
resident to recall the incident multiple times and the resident story was consistent other than recalling the
date and time of incident. I concluded the conversation and reported the incident to my supervisor.
Residents Affected - Few
On 6/21/23 at 5:05 PM, the Administrator explained she interviewed CNA H over the phone. She was the
CNA assigned on 11 PM to 7 AM shift on 5/14/23. CNA H told the Administrator resident #1 was provided
incontinent care during her shift and she did not notice any marks or bruises during her shift.
CNA I wrote the statement and signed it on 5/19/23. She noted she was resident #1's CNA for two shifts, 7
AM to 3 PM and 3 PM to 11 PM on Saturday 5/13/23. She wrote she left resident #1 well, not blue or
swollen nose. She was OK. I have no schedule on Sunday and then on Tuesday family came to visit her to
ask me to see the head of unit, the family stated looks like someone hit my mother and resident said the
person who hit me has lighter skin than you.
On 6/21/23 at 5:05 PM, the Administrator indicated the Social Services Director (SSD) was the Abuse
Coordinator, but the current SSD was new to her role. The Administrator indicated resident #1's family had
visited the resident on Friday 5/12/23 and expressed no concerns during their visit. She stated as far as she
remembered no family visited resident #1 on Saturday. She indicated the family came on Sunday 5/14/23.
She explained they reviewed the staff assignments from Saturday and Sunday and recalled the former
DON was working on this investigation. When asked for the nurses' statements who had been assigned to
resident #1, she stated she had to see if she could find the folder from the the former DON for additional
statements, as they were not in her investigation folder. She stated they spoke to the staff, and explained
CNA I, whose name begins with an E, was resident #1's regularly assigned CNA. She is also very dark.
The CNA on Saturday night 11-7 was an agency CNA. The Administrator recalled speaking to an agency
CNA on the phone, but the CNA did not remember resident #1. The Administrator could not provide the
witness statement for that interview. She stated some documents from the investigation were not in her
folder. A copy of the visitor log from 5/12-5/15/23 was requested but not provided by the Administrator. The
Administrator acknowledged residents assigned to the same nurses and CNAs as resident #1 were not
interviewed as part of the investigation.
On 6/21/23 at 6:21 PM, the Regional Nurse Consultant stated she was involved in the investigation. She
recalled resident #1's daughter was upset on 5/15/23 and the Unit Manager for unit 2 called her and asked
to speak with her. She interviewed resident #1 but could not recall what she told her. She remembered
learning the incident happened on a day resident #1 was served rice and meat and talking to the kitchen to
determine which days they served those items. She stated she had pictures of staff ready to show resident
#1, but the resident could not recall more details. She said she did not write a statement of her interview
with resident #1. She explained she learned about the incident on 5/15/23 and she performed a head-to-toe
assessment that day and noted no skin tears or bruises. She could not explain why witness statements
dated 5/14/23 and CNA F's statement mentioned she was informed about the abuse allegation on 5/14/23.
The Regional Nurse Consultant then stated she spoke with resident #1's daughter on Monday 5/15/23 and
she performed the assessment, but she would have to look at everything before she responded to any
other questions. I cannot tell if I spoke directly to the resident.
Review of the facility's Abuse Prevention Program policy and procedure, revised on 01/2022, read As part

observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to follow appropriate infection control precautions
when moving between resident rooms to prevent cross-contamination and exposure to infectious
microorganisms according to established guidelines, (room [ROOM NUMBER] and #104).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
On 6/20/23 at 10:30 AM, during tour of the facility, Personal Care Attendant (PCA) A entered room [ROOM
NUMBER] which had a sign on the door indicating contact isolation. PCA A did not perform hand hygiene
nor donned a gown and gloves. She grabbed a plastic clear bag which contained linens, towels and gowns,
removed it from room [ROOM NUMBER], exited the room, and entered room [ROOM NUMBER] with the
bag.
On 6/20/23 at 10:46 AM, PCA A stated she was required to perform hand hygiene and don personal
protective equipment (PPE) when she entered an isolation room. She stated she needed to wear the PPE
only when providing care. She acknowledged she was not supposed to take items from one isolation room
into any other room because that is considered cross contamination. She said, Stuff like this I can do
because it is clean linens that was inside of the bag. She stated she had provided personal care to
residents in room [ROOM NUMBER] and she took the bag to room [ROOM NUMBER] to provide care to
both residents in that room. She indicated the resident on precautions in room [ROOM NUMBER] returned
from the hospital the day before and was not on isolation before going to the hospital. She recalled the Unit
Manager told her when she went into room [ROOM NUMBER] to provide care, she needed to wear PPE.
When asked when she received infection prevention and control training, she stated she had not received
training in this facility.
On 6/20/23 at 12:09 PM, PCA B indicated she began working at the facility on June 1st, 2023. She stated
she had not received training on Infection Prevention and Control.
On 6/20/23 at 4:26 PM, the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated her responsibilities included prevention of
infections by following the facility's Infection Prevention and Control Program policy and procedure. She
explained she educated staff on any infections residents had. She stated her emphasis was on hand
washing to prevent infections. She explained the type of isolation a resident had was based on the type of
infection identified on the laboratory results and in consultation with the physician. The IP stated she had
not had a chance to review the resident's chart from room [ROOM NUMBER] but knew the resident was
readmitted the previous night with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and were awaiting
physician's response on the course of treatment and isolation precautions. She shared the facility had a lot
of new staff and they provided brief training on isolation precautions. She indicated she had not performed
any audits on isolation rooms. She explained when entering a contact isolation room, she expected staff to
first perform hand hygiene, don gown, gloves, and mask when providing direct care to the resident. She
indicated it was not acceptable to remove a bag from an isolation room and take it to another resident's
rooms as it was considered contaminated. She stated PCAs were not supposed to be assigned to residents
in isolation rooms.
On 6/21/23 at 1:51 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed PCAs were not supposed to be assigned
to any resident on isolation precautions. She explained staff were expected to follow infection prevention
and control policy.
