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
record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure individuals employed at the facility were licensed in
accordance with applicable state laws to prevent medical neglect, when the facility failed to verify the
identity, credentials, and licensure of an individual prior to employment as a licensed practical nurse
providing care and services for 17 shifts for 77 residents using a sample of 5 of 5 residents of the total 77
residents, Residents #39, #10, #7, #29, and #66.
The failure of ensuring an individual is licensed as a practical nurse could result in the likelihood of harm
and/or death to residents due to the lack of knowledge and education of medications and medication side
effects. Medication side effects can be life-threatening, such as bleeding, sudden heart palpitations with the
administration of bronchodilators, injecting insulin without the knowledge or education to check insulin
quality, the proper syringe use, the area of the body to inject, and the method to inject which can result in
high blood sugars, gastrotomy tube [g-tube] feeding and medication administration can result in the tube
becoming clogged or occluded, without verification of proper placement it can result in pulmonary
aspiration, medication administration and enteral tube feeding via g-tube increases the risk of aspiration
into the lungs, suctioning of a tracheostomy [trach] without training can predispose the resident to
bradycardia (slow heart rate) and hypoxia (a state in which oxygen is not available in sufficient amounts),
not having the education and training for the care and evaluation of resident receiving dialysis could result
in not identifying bleeding, infection and loss of the thrill (the motion of blood flowing through), without
training and education the process of cough and deep breathing exercises would be ineffective, without
proper education and training the administration of an enema could result in damaged tissue in the
rectum/colon, cause a bowel perforation, and infection, education for the evaluation of a nephrostomy tube
could result in not identifying infection, hemorrhage and related structural problems.
Findings include:
Review of Staff A's personnel file documented an application for employment dated 12/29/2022. The
application had two social security numbers and two dates of birth documented. The application listed two
work experience references and three personal/professional references. The file did not provide
documentation of the verification of prior employment or for the personal/professional references. The
College, Business School, Military (most recent first) documented Staff A completed General
Studies/Nursing [year documented], with the birth date provided at the time of interview the applicant would
have been [AGE] years of age when the course of study was completed. Staff A's Level II background
screening had a different spelling of the first name on the employment application, social security card, and
the driver license on record. The nursing license on file provided a different spelling of the first name, had a
middle name, a single last name, a different address, the address on the

person for Resident #66 there is no documentation dated 4/18/2023 of the resident having been provided
trach care to verify the equipment was plugged into a red socket, the oxygen settings, humidification, and
bottle storage. Dated 4/19/2023 there is no documentation the resident was provided trach care to include
removing the non-disposable inner cannula and cleaning, verification of the trach oxygen at 7 liters with
100% humidification, scrubs to both eyes, trach suctioning, and verification the head of the bed was up to

you how this happened. We did not do the proper license verification. There were not any reference checks
completed and her previous employers were not contacted to determine if she had actually worked for
them. I don't know how this occurred. It should not have happened. We should never have hired her with the
conflicting dates of birth and with the conflicting social security numbers. I do believe that it should have
been escalated when she gave those, I think probably to the human resources' responsible person and the
Administrator. After that we absolutely should have verified that she had a valid nursing license and
requested that she bring in a copy of her license before we allowed her to work.
During an interview on 5/17/2023 at 4:18 PM Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, I did run this
persons [Staff A] AHCA (Agency for Healthcare Administration) background screen. I used to do all the
background screenings and managed the roster and things like that. Once I completed those, I would give
them to HR [Human Resources] and then they would hire them in the system and do their part. Well, in
April of 2022, Bedrock took over. They wanted my position to be more nursing and to do infection control,
so then that's when the HR started taking over the backgrounds, but there was a transition, so I would still
help [Staff C's name], like showing her how to resubmit backgrounds and how to pull new backgrounds so
everything was complete. I did the background on [Staff A's name] in January after that I've given
information to the HR, to [Staff C's name]. Well on our applications there is not a section for an employee's
date of birth or social security number. I wrote the date of birth and social security number she gave me
when I talked with her a few weeks after her interview when she let me know she wanted to proceed with
becoming an employee. I then tried to do her background screening and she was not in the system with the
original birthdate that she gave me. I wrote the [date written] and the social security number that is on there
[the employee application]. So, then I had to call her and tell her I can't find her. That is when she told me
that someone had stolen her identity and the government issued her new cards and a new birthdate. She
then gave me a new birthdate and social security number. It was a different birthdate of [birth date given]
and a new social security number. Once I put in the new information on the background screening, she
came back as eligible, and it was the same person that I interviewed. I didn't think a thing, I have had others
give me the wrong social security number so, I didn't think to escalate this to anyone else in HR. I did not
tell [Staff C's name] about it. It did not concern me at all. I'm not a criminal so I believed her. Her
background screening per AHCA came back eligible. I didn't question it all. I mean people mix up things, but
when I put in her last name with that social her picture pulled up the social matched the date of birth on
there and matched her picture that was on there, everything matched with the second date of birth . I did
not bring any concerns about this to [Staff C's name], she cleared and was eligible. I did her interview. I do
have the application in front of me when I interview. I didn't look at her education and ask her any questions
about that. We just talked about her experiences, if she had taken [care of] trachs, her general experiences,
if she was comfortable with g-tubes and medications. I didn't look at how her name was spelled and see
that it was not the correct spelling. She did tell me that she got divorced and that's why there was a different
name and that she had her identity stolen. I don't know how the license verification was done. The day that
this was all being investigated we found out that the license verification wasn't in her file. I guess that's
when she [Staff C's name] did it. I don't know when or if she did it when she [Staff A's name] was hired. I'm
not HR.
During a telephone interview on 5/19/2023 at 9:20 AM the previous Nursing Home Administrator stated, I
was notified on I believe it was 4/24 or 4/25/23 by a detective in [NAME] that they believed they had tracked
a nurse with a fraudulent nursing license, and they were working in our building. I verified his identity and

could. Looking back at our files we determined that she [Staff A] gave two different social security numbers
and she was called and changed her social security number and birth date. This got missed by [Staff B and
Staff C's names]. I was not aware that the nursing license was not in the file and that she did not provide a
copy of the nursing license. I would say the HR Manager should have caught this and brought it to the
attention of someone when she gave multiple birthdays and social security numbers, that would be an
immediate red flag. It should come to corporate HR and the Administrator. [Staff B's name] was well aware
of the changing date of birth and social security number. At some point they both knew and should have
responded, and we should not have hired her [Staff A]. We, upon investigation, suspended [Staff C's name]
because she was in the role and had the responsibility to make sure that all aspects of the employment
process is fully implemented and followed. Ultimately, administrators are responsible for the overall running
of the building and all disciplines. This [Staff C's name] had been in HR since about last August or
September, there is some debate on the amount of training she received, and she was learning on the fly.
The mistake was made because they were not properly trained and did not understand the severity of the
situation when [Staff B's name] was provided with two different birthdates and social security numbers.
[Staff C's name] was in that role less than one year and they were trying to combine the role she had
previously been in with HR responsibilities and make [Staff B's name] role more nursing. They put
themselves [Bedrock] in this position by inadequately training [Staff C's name] to fulfill her role.
During a telephone interview on 5/19/2023 at 3:30 PM the Medical Director stated, I was notified
immediately on Friday night that there was a nurse who was fraudulent and without a license that had been
practicing with the residents. She was not properly cleared to work and the system to verify her license and
identification was not followed. The police arrested her [Staff A] at the facility very late on Friday and we met
on Monday to do a QAPI [Quality Assurance Performance Improvement] we did conduct the root cause.
The names were different, and the nursing license was not verified. Luckily nothing happened to any of my
residents nor other physicians' residents. It is imperative that we verify these things and have these
systems in place, they promote and protect patients. They ensure that we provide a minimum standard of
care that non licensed nurses cannot provide. There was great potential for harm if she had come across a
situation that she was unfamiliar with. I hope we now have the system to safeguard all the residents in place
and we will keep monitoring this to make sure this never happens again. She would not have the necessary
knowledge to care for a tracheostomy tube, or possibly understand what to do if the resident accidentally
decannulated [removed the tracheostomy] themselves. Gastrostomy tube medication administration is more
complex with possible gastric perforation if not verified as present in the correct place and would require
assessment skills that nurses have.

with the seven-step approach to abuse and neglect detection and prevention. The abuse policy will be
reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently and will be integrated into the facility Quality Assurance
and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program. Our facility establishes an environment that is as homelike
as possible and includes a culture and environment that treats each resident with respect and dignity.
Treating a nursing home resident in any manner that does not uphold a resident's sense of self-worth and
individuality dehumanizes the resident and creates an environment that perpetuates a disrespectful and or
potentially abusive attitude toward the resident(s). Overview of seven components: Screening, Training,
Prevention, Identification, Investigation, Protection, Reporting and Response. A. Screening Components: It
is the policy of this facility to screen employees and volunteers (as applicable per volunteer policy) prior to
working with residents. Screening components include verification of certification and verification of license
and criminal background check. Procedure: 1. Employee Screening and Training: 1a. New employees have
a background check as appropriate board registrations and certifications regarding the prospective
employee's background. The facility will not employ or otherwise engage individuals who have been found

License Staff: The facility will not employ or otherwise engage a licensed professional who: a. Has a
disciplinary action in effect against his or her professional license by a state licensure body as a result of a
finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents or misappropriation of resident property. b.
In addition, the facility will report to the state licensing authorities any knowledge it has of the actions by a
court of law against an employee which would indicate unfitness for service as a licensed professional.

did not hire that employee [Staff A]. I was here when the Administrator was notified that she was being
investigated by [NAME] for identity theft of a nurse and they tracked her here by her cell phone. The
administrator worked with that detective and the [name of the local law enforcement agency], and she was
arrested here after she clocked in for her shift. Once we learned about this, we began an investigation. She
had a background screening that came back eligible and did present a driver's license and social security
card. Unfortunately, her license was in a different name. I can't tell you how this happened. We did not do
the proper license verification. There were not any reference checks completed and her previous employers
were not contacted to determine if she had actually worked for them. I don't know how this occurred. It
should not have happened. We should never have hired her with the conflicting dates of birth and with the
conflicting social security numbers. I do believe that it should have been escalated when she gave those, I
think probably to the human resources' responsible person and the Administrator. After that we absolutely
should have verified that she had a valid nursing license and requested that she bring in a copy of her
license before we allowed her to work.
During an interview on 5/17/2023 at 4:18 PM Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, I did run this
persons [Staff A] AHCA (Agency for Healthcare Administration) background screen. I used to do all the
background screenings and managed the roster and things like that. Once I completed those I would give
them to HR [Human Resources] and then they would hire them in the system and do their part. Well, in
April of 2022, Bedrock took over. They wanted my position to be more nursing and to do infection control,
so then that's when the HR started taking over the backgrounds, but there was a transition, so I would still
help [Staff C's name], like showing her how to resubmit backgrounds and how to pull new backgrounds so
everything was complete. I did the background on [Staff A's name] in January after that I've given
information to the HR, to [Staff C's name]. Well on our applications there is not a section for an employee's
date of birth or social security number. I wrote the date of birth and social security number she gave me
when I talked with her a few weeks after her interview when she let me know she wanted to proceed with
becoming an employee. I then tried to do her background screening and she was not in the system with the
original birthdate that she gave me. I wrote the [date written] and the social security number that is on there
[the employee application]. So, then I had to call her and tell her I can't find her. That is when she told me
that someone had stolen her identity and the government issued her new cards and a new birthdate. She
then gave me a new birthdate and social security number. It was a different birthdate of [birth date given]
and a new social security number. Once I put in the new information on the background screening, she
came back as eligible, and it was the same person that I interviewed. I didn't think a thing, I have had others
give me the wrong social security number so, I didn't think to escalate this to anyone else in HR. I did not
tell [Staff C's name] about it. It did not concern me at all. I'm not a criminal so I believed her. Her
background screening per AHCH came back eligible. I didn't question it all. I mean people mix up things,
but when I put in her last name with that social her picture pulled up the social matched the date of birth on
there and matched her picture that was on there, everything matched with the second date of birth . I did
not bring any concerns about this to [Staff C's name], she cleared and was eligible. I did her interview. I do
have the application in front of me when I interview. I didn't look at her education and ask her any questions
about that. We just talked about her experiences, if she had taken [care of] trachs, her general experiences,
if she was comfortable with g-tubes and medications. I didn't look at how her name was spelled and see
that it was not the correct spelling. She did tell me that she got divorced and that's why there was a different
name and that she had her identity stolen. I don't know how the license verification was done. The day

that this was all being investigated we found out that the license verification wasn't in her file. I guess that's
when she [Staff C] did it. I don't know when or if she did it when she [Staff A] was hired. I'm not HR.
During a telephone interview on 5/19/2023 at 9:20 AM the previous Nursing Home Administrator stated, I
was notified on I believe it was 4/24 or 4/25/23 by a detective in [NAME] that they believed they had tracked
a nurse with a fraudulent nursing license, and they were working in our building. I verified his identity and
began to assist him in any way I could. Looking back at our files we determined that she [Staff A] gave two
different social security numbers and she was called and changed her social security number and birth
date. This got missed by [Staff B and Staff C's names]. I was not aware that the nursing license was not in
the file and that she did not provide a copy of the nursing license. I would say the HR Manager should have
caught this and brought it to the attention of someone when she gave multiple birthdays and social security
numbers, that would be an immediate red flag. It should come to corporate HR and the Administrator. [Staff
B's name] was well aware of the changing date of birth and social security number. At some point they both
knew and should have responded, and we should not have hired her [Staff A]. We, upon investigation,
suspended [Staff C's name] because she was in the role and had the responsibility to make sure that all
aspects of the employment process is fully implemented and followed. Ultimately, administrators are
responsible for the overall running of the building and all disciplines. This [Staff C's name] had been in HR
since about last August or September, there is some debate on the amount of training she received, and
she was learning on the fly. The mistake was made because they were not properly trained and did not
understand the severity of the situation when [Staff B's name] was provided with two different birthdates
and social security numbers. [Staff C's name] was in that role less than one year and they were trying to
combine the role she had previously been in with HR responsibilities and make [Staff B's name] role more
nursing. They put themselves [Bedrock] in this position by inadequately training [Staff C's name] to fulfill her
role.
During a telephone interview on 5/19/2023 at 3:30 PM the Medical Director stated, I was notified
immediately on Friday night that there was a nurse who was fraudulent and without a license that had been
practicing with the residents. She was not properly cleared to work and the system to verify her license and
identification was not followed. The police arrested her [Staff A] at the facility very late on Friday and we met
on Monday to do a QAPI [Quality Assurance Performance Improvement] we did conduct the root cause.
The names were different, and the nursing license was not verified. Luckily nothing happened to any of my
residents nor other physicians' residents. It is imperative that we verify these things and have these
systems in place, they promote and protect patients. They ensure that we provide a minimum standard of
care that non licensed nurses cannot provide. There was great potential for harm if she had come across a
situation that she was unfamiliar with. I hope we now have the system to safeguard all the residents in place
and we will keep monitoring this to make sure this never happens again. She would not have the necessary
knowledge to care for a tracheostomy tube, or possibly understand what to do if the resident accidentally
decannulated [removed the tracheostomy] themselves. Gastrostomy tube medication administration is more
complex with possible gastric perforation if not verified as present in the correct place and would require
assessment skills that nurses have.
The facility removed the immediacy and corrected the non-compliance as evidenced by:

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility administration failed to administer the facility in a manner to
effectively and efficiently attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial
well-being of each resident when the facility administration failed to implement policies and procedures to
verify the identity, credentials and licensure of an individual prior to employment as a licensed practical
nurse providing care and services for 17 shifts for 77 residents using a sample of 5 of 5 residents of the
total 77 residents, Residents #39, #10, #7, #29, and #66.

Findings include:
Review of Staff A's personnel file documented an application for employment dated [DATE]. The application
had two social security numbers and two dates of birth documented. The application listed two work
experience references and three personal/professional references. The file did not provide documentation
of the verification of prior employment or for the personal/professional references. The College, Business
School, Military (most recent first) documented Staff A completed General Studies/Nursing [year
documented], with the birth date provided at the time of interview the applicant would have been [AGE]
years of age when the course of study was completed. Staff A's Level II background screening had a
different spelling of the first name on the employment application, social security card, and the driver
license on record. The nursing license on file provided for a different spelling of the first name, had a middle
name, a single last name, a different address, the address on the application, driver license, and Level II
background were from a different state. The nursing license was originally issued in 2014 in the state of
Florida, the driver license on record was issued in 2020 in the state of Georgia. The Basic Life Support card
on file has a different last name. The file did not contain a practical nursing license for the person named on
the application. The nursing license on record was not made a part of the record until [DATE] at 11:02 AM
as verified by the date and time printed on the document, and not at the time of hire.
Review of the Florida Department of Health licensure web site

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
During an interview on [DATE] at 9:10 AM the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I have recently taken over
this job and did not hire that employee [Staff A]. I was here when the Administrator was notified that she
was being investigated by [NAME] for identity theft of a nurse and they tracked her here by her cell phone.
The administrator worked with that detective and the [name of the local law enforcement agency], and she
was arrested here after she clocked in for her shift. Once we learned about this, we began an investigation.
She had a background screening that came back eligible and did present a driver's license and social
security card. Unfortunately, her license was in a different name. I can't tell you how this happened. We did
not do the proper license verification. There were not any reference checks completed and her previous
employers were not contacted to determine if she had actually worked for them. I don't know how this
occurred. It should not have happened. We should never have hired her with the conflicting dates of birth
and with the conflicting social security numbers. I do believe that it should have been escalated when she
gave those, I think probably to the human resources' responsible person and the Administrator. After that
we absolutely should have verified that she had a valid nursing license and requested that she bring in a
copy of her license before we allowed her to work.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on [DATE] at 4:18 PM Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated, I did run this
persons [Staff A] AHCA (Agency for Healthcare Administration) background screen. I used to do all the
background screenings and managed the roster and things like that. Once I completed those I would give
them to HR [Human Resources] and then they would hire them in the system and do their part. Well, in
April of 2022, Bedrock took over. They wanted my position to be more nursing and to do infection control,
so then that's when the HR started taking over the backgrounds, but there was a transition, so I would still
help [Staff C's name], like showing her how to resubmit backgrounds and how to pull new backgrounds so
everything was complete. I did the background on [Staff A's name] in January after that I've given
information to the HR, to [Staff C's name]. Well on our applications there is not a section for an employee's
date of birth or social security number. I wrote the date of birth and social security number she gave me
when I talked with her a few weeks after her interview when she let me know she wanted to proceed with
becoming an employee. I then tried to do her background screening and she was not in the system with the
original birthdate that she gave me. I wrote the [date written] and the social security number that is on there
[the employee application]. So, then I had to call her and tell her I can't find her. That is when she told me
that someone had stolen her identity and the government issued her new cards and a new birthdate. She
then gave me a new birthdate and social security number. It was a different birthdate of [birth date given]
and a new social security number. Once I put in the new information on the background screening, she
came back as eligible, and it was the same person that I interviewed. I didn't think a thing, I have had others
give me the wrong social security number so, I didn't think to escalate this to anyone else in HR. I did not
tell [Staff C's name] about it. It did not concern me at all. I'm not a criminal so I believed her. Her
background screening per AHCA came back eligible. I didn't question it all. I mean people mix up things, but
when I put in her last name with that social her picture pulled up the social matched the date of birth on
there and matched her picture that was on there, everything matched with the second date of birth . I did
not bring any concerns about this to [Staff C's name], she cleared and was eligible. I did her interview. I do
have the application in front of me when I interview. I didn't look at her education and ask her any questions
about that. We just talked about her experiences, if she had taken [care of] trachs, her general experiences,
if she was comfortable with g-tubes and medications. I didn't look at how her name was spelled and see
that it was not the

correct spelling. She did tell me that she got divorced and that's why there was a different name and that
she had her identity stolen. I don't know how the license verification was done. The day that this was all
being investigated we found out that the license verification wasn't in her file. I guess that's when she [Staff
C] did it. I don't know when or if she did it when she [Staff A] was hired. I'm not HR.
During an interview on [DATE] at 8:05 AM the Administrator stated, I have just assumed this role on
Monday of this week. I am aware of the incident but have yet to fully review all the documentation. It was my
understanding that the total investigation was handed over to the police when requested. In this case it
appears that there was a failure in the HR process, it was not followed according to policy and procedure. I
would expect that once two different IDs were given someone would have been notified.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 9:20 AM the previous Nursing Home Administrator stated, I was
notified on I believe it was 4/24 or [DATE] by a detective in [NAME] that they believed they had tracked a
nurse with a fraudulent nursing license, and they were working in our building. I verified his identity and
began to assist him in any way I could. Looking back at our files we determined that she [Staff A] gave two
different social security numbers and she was called and changed her social security number and birth
date. This got missed by [Staff B and Staff C's names]. I was not aware that the nursing license was not in
the file and that she did not provide a copy of the nursing license. I would say the HR Manager should have
caught this and brought it to the attention of someone when she gave multiple birthdays and social security
numbers, that would be an immediate red flag. It should come to corporate HR and the Administrator. [Staff
B's name] was well aware of the changing date of birth and social security number. At some point they both
knew and should have responded, and we should not have hired her [Staff A]. We, upon investigation,
suspended [Staff C's name] because she was in the role and had the responsibility to make sure that all
aspects of the employment process is fully implemented and followed. Ultimately, administrators are
responsible for the overall running of the building and all disciplines. This [Staff C's name] had been in HR
since about last August or September, there is some debate on the amount of training she received, and
she was learning on the fly. The mistake was made because they were not properly trained and did not
understand the severity of the situation when [Staff B's name] was provided with two different birthdates
and social security numbers. [Staff C's name] was in that role less than one year and they were trying to
combine the role she had previously been in with HR responsibilities and make [Staff B's name] role more
nursing. They put themselves [Bedrock] in this position by inadequately training [Staff C's name] to fulfill her
role.
During a telephone interview on [DATE] at 3:30 PM the Medical Director stated, I was notified immediately
on Friday night that there was a nurse who was fraudulent and without a license that had been practicing
with the residents. She was not properly cleared to work and the system to verify her license and
identification was not followed. The police arrested her [Staff A] at the facility very late on Friday and we met
on Monday to do a QAPI [Quality Assurance Performance Improvement] we did conduct the root cause.
The names were different, and the nursing license was not verified. Luckily nothing happened to any of my
residents nor other physicians' residents. It is imperative that we verify these things and have these
systems in place, they promote and protect patients. They ensure that we provide a minimum standard of
care that non licensed nurses cannot provide. There was great potential for harm if she had come across a
situation that she was unfamiliar with. I hope we now have the system to safeguard all the residents in place
and we will keep monitoring this to make sure this never happens again. She would not have the necessary
knowledge to care for a tracheostomy tube, or possibly understand what to do if the resident accidentally
decannulated [removed the tracheostomy]
