Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from physical abuse by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for abuse, of a total sample of 12 residents, (#6). The facility's failure to protect resident #6 resulted in actual harm when the resident sustained injuries to his right hand and left forearm.Findings: Cross Reference F609 Review of resident #6's medical record revealed he was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] after hospitalization. His diagnoses included dementia with behavioral disturbances, mood disorder, history of urinary tract infections, weakness, reduced mobility, anxiety, repeated falls, and stroke. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) significant change in status assessment with Assessment Reference Date of 8/02/25 revealed resident#6 had impaired hearing and vision, unclear speech and rarely understood verbal content. A Staff Assessment for Mental Status was completed due to poor comprehension. The MDS assessment noted behavioral physical symptoms such as hitting or scratching self, pacing, rummaging, or verbal/vocal symptoms like screaming, disruptive sounds not directed toward others which occurred one to three days but did not interfere with his care or participation of activities. The MDS assessment showed this behavior did not put others at risk and did not intrude on the privacy of others. The MDS assessment revealed no rejection of evaluation or care necessary to obtain goals for health and well-being and no wandering. The assessment noted he needed substantial assistance from staff with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as eating and oral hygiene. He was dependent on staff for transfers, toileting hygiene, shower/bath, upper & lower body dressing, put on/off footwear, and personal hygiene. Resident #6 had functional limitations in range of motion on his bilateral upper and lower extremities. The MDS assessment revealed resident #6 sustained falls since the prior assessments, two resulting in no injuries and two with injuries.Review of resident #6's medical record revealed a care plan for impaired cognitive function/dementia, revised on 8/06/25. Another care plan for behaviors, revised on 10/07/25 revealed resident #6 was on one to one (1:1) supervision, combative with staff, impulsive and refused care and medications at times. The interventions directed staff to speak softly and clearly when communicating and allow time to communicate effectively.Review of resident #6's Kardex (care plan used by CNAs) revealed interventions such as to observe and report changes including resistance to care.Review of Progress Notes in resident #6's medical record showed the following entries:*9/30/25 at 6:33 AM - Resident alert with confusion, several attempts to get out of the bed; became agitated and combative when redirected. *10/01/25 at 8:25 PM - Resident restless, required PRN (as needed) medications. *10/02/25 - 10/03/25 Continued 1:1 observation for behavioral concerns; resident resisted care and attempted to strike staff.*10/05/25 at 6:29 AM - Resident combative during the care, attempting to hit staff, and refusing hydration.*10/05/25 at 5:16 PM - At approximately 3:30 PM, resident was observed screaming at other residents and staff, then struck the nursing station (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

Resident #6 became verbally aggressive toward me, he began hitting me repeatedly and I became afraid for my life. I called for help and ran out of the room to protect myself . tried to open the door and his hand caught in the door he began to bleed. He managed to get out of the room and started yelling.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete statement of her phone conversation with CNA D which read, While speaking with [CNA D's name] I asked her what did she do when she saw the CNA holding the door She stated she told the nurse the CNA needed help and he (the nurse) told me, That is why the patient is on one to one. She also stated that the nurse [LPN B's name] told her to close the door of the resident (1106) because he was making too much noise and she then went into the room with the resident and closed the door. Review of the facility's security system did not show CNA A frightened or resident #6 running or punching the plexiglass partition by the nurses station. The video showed LPN B and CNA C saw CNA A holding resident #6's door closed with resident #6 inside his room, while he was trying to open it and get out. LPN E and RN F were sitting at the nurses station, across resident #6's room, and did not respond or intervene until a visitor alerted them to look at the resident. Review of resident #6's Observation Sheet dated 10/05/25 showed CNAs assigned for 1:1 observation were required to initial and document resident behaviors using codes every 15 minutes. CNA A initialed the form at 3:45 and 4:00 PM and used codes 4 (aggressive toward residents) and 12 (combative). CNA A documented hospital from 4:15 to 7:45 PM. She initialed and documented codes 1 (in room lying in bed) and 2 (calm) from 8:00 to 10:45 PM. Review of the Immediate Nursing Home Federal Report submitted by Risk Manager (RM) O to AHCA on 10/06/25 at 3:02 PM revealed an allegation of physical abuse for resident #6. The report showed the incident occurred on 10/05/25 at 3:46 PM and the ENHA, EDON and RM became aware of the incident on 10/06/25 at 11:33 AM while performing a camera review of the incident. The report read, As I was reviewing, I saw CNA [CNA A's name] holding the door to 1101B closed, I saw the door close on resident's fingers and when he came out of the room, he was bleeding holding a towel. He then walked to the nurse's station and was holding onto the plexiglass to maintain his balance and it came loose. The report mentioned resident #6 sustained no fractures of his hand or fingers but had scratches on his right four fingers from the door and scratches on his forearms from the plexiglass. Review of CNA A's timecard revealed she worked on Sunday 10/05/25 until 11:34 PM. She returned to work on Monday 10/06/25 from 6:57 AM until 1:00 PM. Review of her assignment showed she cared for 10 residents until approximately 11:15 AM when the video footage was reviewed by management and she was removed from the unit. On 10/15/25 at 12:44 PM, the Medical Director stated he questioned who CNA A was and the kind of training she received. He stated he learned she had received required education, so training was not an issue. He mentioned the culture of not speaking up was one of the missing pieces in this incident as none of the staff working in the secured unit that day reported anything. He stated they learned what happened through the cameras. Review of the job descriptions for CNA, LPN, and RN staff revealed each was required to report potential abuse immediately to their supervisor. Review of the Abuse Prevention Program policy and procedure reviewed in September 2025 revealed physical abuse included controlling behavior through corporal punishment or a restraint not required to treat the resident's symptoms. The document showed staff was instructed to report concerns, incidents, and grievances and how to provide protection for residents. Event ID: Facility ID: 105728 If continuation sheet Page 9 of 9
