the hospital for treatment. She said upon examination of the resident she palpated subcutaneous
emphysema in the right rib area. This is an indication of a possible pneumothorax. She said she felt vital

She said she was not aware Resident #67 had been transported to the hospital by car. She assumed the
resident was transported to the Emergency Department via Emergency Medical Services (EMS) which was
her preference.
On 11/2/2023 at 12:30 p.m. in an interview Resident #67's daughter said the facility called her the day her
father fell and told her he had a minor injury. She said the next day they called and said he should go to the
Emergency Department because they thought he had broken ribs. She said she and her mother came and
drove her father to the hospital. She said the facility should have sent him to the hospital by ambulance as
soon as he was injured. She said this was the second time he has fallen and injured himself under their
care. She said she was very upset with the care he was receiving at this facility.
On 11/2/2023 at 2:15 p.m., in an interview LPN Staff M said when she spoke with Resident #67's wife, she
said she wanted to drive the resident to the hospital because of the cost associated with an ambulance.
LPN Staff M said the resident had not exhibited any symptoms other than a little rib pain so she did not see
a problem with the resident riding to the hospital with family. She called the hospital and gave report.

During an interview on 10/30/23 at 12:18 p.m., Resident #77 stated there is a staff member that is very
rude and unkind to him. The Resident stated the staff member often will not speak to him and has called
him lazy and most of the time will not even talk to him. The Resident pointed to Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) Staff A as she walked past his room in the hallway and said Staff A works day shift and is not nice at
all to him, she calls him lazy, and it makes him feel bad. He states that he does not feel that he is lazy. The
Resident said he was so upset that he reported the CNA to the administrator. After he reported her to the
Administrator the CNA got very mad at him and would not even speak to him or acknowledge when he
asked her something. Resident stated that he did not know what the administrator did about it, he was
never told.
During an interview on 11/01/23 at 9:30 a.m., the Administrator stated the resident had reported the

the staff member about it and took her off the assignment that the resident was on. The administrator said
he did not know if Staff A was still off that assignment.
During an interview on 11/01/23 at 11:09 a.m., The Risk Manager (RM) stated she got a report about the
alleged incident from one of the unit managers. The RM stated the resident was saying CNA Staff A was
being bossy. The RM said she then went to see the resident and spoke with him about the incident. The
resident told the RM that he was not allowed to get back in bed and that the CNA was being bossy and
would not let him into bed. The risk manager said the Administrator was with her for the first time, but the
resident said he did not want to bother the big guy and would not talk about it with him. The Risk manager
said she then spoke to CNA Staff A and the nurse that was giving medication in the hallway outside the
resident's room. The RM stated the nurse and CNA told her the same story. CNA Staff A was trying to make
the bed and the resident was trying to get into bed. The RM stated the bed was wet, and the resident was
trying to get back in and she would not let him, so he got mad and said she was bossy. The RM said that
she did not have the resident or Nurse write a statement. She had the CNA write one, but it was not clear
because she had English as a second language. The RM stated that she did not write anything down and
question the resident further. The RM stated that she felt the accusation was not substantiated as verbal
abuse, so she did not report it.
The RM provided a written statement she said was written by the CNA after she had talked with her. The
statement was poorly written, and it was not clear what was being said. RM said she did not document any
statements that the CNA had made and did not read it back to her or use an interpreter.
A review of Risk Management documentation on the incident described by Resident #77 was as follows:
10/11/2023 - Spoke to Resident #77 about allegation against CNA Staff A, He said she is bossy and is
always telling him what to do. When RM inquired about this, he said he was trying to get into bed, and she
told him that he couldn't. RM interviewed CNA staff A and the assigned nurse who both said that the
resident was attempting to get into bed with wet linens while Staff A was changing the bed, so she told him
that he had to wait until she was done. Resident #77 did not have any other specific examples to provide.
This did not lead to the finding of abuse or an abuse allegation. Spoke to Unit Manager and Director of
Nursing who were to speak to CNA staff A, since the resident perceives her to be bossy. Unit Manager to
remove Resident #77 from CNA Staff A's assignment.
During an interview on 11/02/23 at 9:46 a.m., Unit Manager, Registered Nurse (RN) Staff H stated she was
on duty the day of the incident between Resident #77 and CNA Staff A happened, but she did not see or
hear it and was only told about it. RN Staff H said the risk manager had asked her what she thought about
the allegation and what Staff A said to the resident. The Unit manager stated that she was not sure what
the whole incident was about but was told the situation was about the resident messing that bed and was
trying to get back into bed and the CNA Staff A telling him that she needs to remake his bed before he
could get back into the bed and he got mad at her. RN Staff H stated she was never asked to write a
statement or talk to the resident or participate in interviewing other residents in the area or on the same
assignment as the resident to see if anyone else had a problems with staff A. RN Staff H said she was not
asked to speak with the resident but was asked to talk with CNA Staff A.
During an interview on 11/02/23 at 9:53 a.m., CNA, Staff A stated she remembered the incident that
happened with Resident #77 several weeks ago. She stated she had the resident on her assignment. She
saw the resident sitting in his room in his wheelchair, and he was wet. CNA Staff A reported the resident
was trying to go to get some soda because he did not have any and he drinks a lot of soda

every day and he was a heavy wetter. Staff A said she also thinks he was on a water pill. The CNA said that
she came into the room and asked him if she could change him because he was wet, he said that he did
not want to be changed and she should come back later. Resident #77 said he had to go somewhere. The
CNA said that she saw some wetness under his wheelchair, and she tried again to ask him to let her
change him. CNA A said the resident then he got upset and went out in the hall and told people that she
was being mean to him. CNA stated that the only person that talked with her after the incident was Unit
Manager Staff H. CNA Staff A said that she was told that the Administrator and Risk Manager had tried to
talk to the resident, and he had said that he did not want to talk to them about it. The CNA stated that no
one had asked her to write a statement about the incident and she did not write any statement. She said
the only one who talked to her about it was the unit manager. She said they took her off the assignment
with the resident and she has not taken care of him again. CNA said a nurse had been outside the room
when she was trying to ask the resident if she could change him, but she did not talk to her. During the
interview CNA spoke in a clear and concise manner and did not have any problems understanding the
questions that were asked of her in the interview.
During an interview on 11/02/23 at 11:32 a.m., the Risk Manager (RM) stated that she felt that she did a
thorough investigation and she never knew that she had to get witness statements or write out statements
from staff and/or residents. She said she feels she talked to the people involved and wrote it into the
paragraph that she had in her risk file. She stated that was her investigation and documentation. When told
what the CNA had told the surveyor about her account of the incident and the situation she said, that is so
strange she must have gotten her days mixed up. CNA also stated that no one had talked to her about the
incident except the unit manager and she had never written a statement. RM said nothing when this was
revealed to her. RM acknowledged that she did not have any documented statement from the resident or
from the nurse. The RM acknowledged that she had no documentation that interviews were done of other
residents in the CNAs assignment that were interview about treatment and if they felt that they had ever
been verbally abused by any staff member. The RM stated she had the Unit Manager talk to the CNA about
how she talks to residents.

Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a
licensed pharmacist.
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to keep a record of controlled
substances awaiting disposition to ensure an accurate inventory, and allow periodic reconciliation.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
Review of the facility policy for Controlled Substance Storage Revised January 2018: Medications subject to
abuse or diversion are stored in a permanently affixed, (double-locked) compartment. Accountability
records for discontinued controlled substances are maintained with the unused supply until it is destroyed
or disposed of.
On 11/2/23 at 9:30 a.m., during an interview Unit Manager, Registered Nurse (RN) Staff H said the unused
narcotics are periodically removed from the medication carts and taken to the Director of Nursing (DON) to
be locked in her office.
On 11/2/23 at 11:00 a.m., during an interview the DON confirmed the nurses periodically bring unused
narcotics to her office. She stores them in a locked file cabinet in her office. She said the maintenance
director has a key to her office, but only unlocks the door in an emergency. She said when the consultant
pharmacist visits, she scans the narcotics, creates a log, and destroys them with the pharmacist. She said
currently she has a few narcotics in the locked cabinet, but she was not sure what narcotics and how many
were in there. She said the last time she scanned and destroyed controlled substances with the pharmacist
was 10/19/23. The narcotics in the cabinet would be the ones that were brought to her office after that date.
On 11/02/23 12:43 p.m., the DON reiterated she was not sure of what or how many controlled substances
were in the locked file cabinet in her office, and there was not a way to ensure the controlled substances in
the file cabinet were all of the ones that had been brought to her. She said she has handled them this way
for a long time and did not realize it was a problem. She opened the file cabinet to reveal the following
unused controlled substances:
Lorazepam 0.5 milligrams (mg) 11 tablets (tabs)
Lorazepam 0.5 mg 26 tabs.
Tramadol 50 mg 30 tabs.
Tramadol 50 mg 1 tab.
Tramadol 50 mg 23 tabs.
