The CNA was cocky and had an attitude/argumentative, when talking to her. Resident#202 said there was
also a nurse outside her door that had witnessed the whole conversation. The next day a staff member
came and talked with her about the incident then told her later CNA Staff Q would not be taking care of her
anymore.
Residents Affected - Few
On 4/6/21 record review of the facility's Grievance/Concern log showed no grievance was recorded for
Resident #202 and the incident that happened shortly after admission. The Risk Manager Staff S came with
a completed form dated 4/4/21 with the concern being Resident #202 did not want CNA Staff Q to come in
her room. The form did not indicate why the resident felt this way or what happened. Conclusion/Summary
of findings stated CNA Staff Q was passing ice to unit and went to refill the resident's cup of ice water. The
grievance form did not show a complete and thorough investigation. But the resolution was to take CNA
Staff Q off the assignment. The training to the CNAs on customer service was done on 4/2/21, two days
before the grievance was written.
2. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the
following diagnosis: history of femur fracture, heart disease, chronic respiratory problems, hypertension,
anxiety, depression, insomnia, and macular degeneration. Resident was legally blind. Resident was
assessed to be alert and oriented.
On 4/5/21 at 12:08 p.m., in an interview Resident #19 said his main concern was about the way the
certified nursing assistants (CNAs) talked to him and treated him. He said that it took very long on the
evening and night shift to get the call light answered. He said when they did come in, they scolded him
about turning on his light too much. He said they had told him they would take the call light away if he
turned it on so much. Resident #19 said that they had taken it away in the past and he had had to yell out to
get someone to come into his room. Then when they did come in, they said if he didn't stop yelling, they
would put him over there. He said he was blind, so he didn't know what they meant by over there. Resident
#19 said the kind of behavior from the CNA staff made him afraid. He also said the night CNA would not
empty his urinal and he ended up spilling it when he tried to use it again. He said he was helpless in the
bed and he couldn't do much for himself. He said that he had reported this to the nursing management and
his wife.
On 4/5/21 at 1:40 p.m., in an interview Resident #19's wife said her husband had told her that when he put
his light on the staff did not come for a long time. She said that he had told her about the incident of a male
CNA on nights telling him not to put on his call light or he would take it away from him. She said her
husband was blind and when he had to use his urinal, he did not know how full it was. She said that the
CNA told him that he would not empty it until it was ½ full. So, when the resident tried to use it he
spilt it on the bed and then had to lay in a wet bed until someone came and changed it. She said her
husband reported this could be hours sometimes. She said she reported this to nursing management to
investigate but did not feel it had been resolved yet.
On 4/6/21 record review of the facility's Grievance/Concern log showed 3 grievances (1/28/21, 2/17/21 and
3/3/21) reported by Resident #19 and his wife. The grievance form for 1/28/21 was filled out vaguely about
resident concern over CNA Staff Q's approach and poor customer service. The form did not contain a
description of the resident's concern however the CNA was educated on customer service and removed
from the resident's assignment.

the following diagnosis: muscle wasting & atrophy, degenerative joint disease, diabetes, chronic pulmonary
obstructive disease (COPD), cirrhosis, chronic ulcer of the foot, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and convulsion.
Resident #202 was assessed to be alert and oriented and had no impaired cognition.
1. On 4/5/21 at 11:20 a.m., in interview Resident #202 said a few days after she was admitted there was an
incident were a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) had come into her room and grabbed her foam cup from
off her bedside table and walked off towards the door. She called out to her and said, where are you going
with my ginger ale?. The CNA did not respond, or answer and it made her feel that she was being ignored.
When she came back, she asked her again what she was doing with her cup. The CNA got an attitude and
said she was putting more ice water in the cup. Resident #202 told the CNA it was not her water cup but
her ginger ale. The CNA was cocky and had an attitude/argumentative, when talking to her. Resident#202
said there was also a nurse outside her door that had witnessed the whole conversation. The next day a
staff member came and talked with her about the incident then told her later that CNA Staff Q would not be
taking care of her anymore. Resident #202 said before CNA Staff Q was removed from caring for her, she
had heard CNA Staff Q arguing with a male resident in the hall near her room. She asked her what was
going on and CNA Staff Q told her it was none of her business. She said she was just concerned about the
other resident getting yelled at.
On 4/6/21 at 3:25 p.m., Resident #202 was observed in her room and forcefully telling CNA Staff R she did
not want to be there anymore. CNA Staff R yelled at the resident, Don't yell at me. Then the CNA slammed
the door shut and walked away. After surveyor intervention Unit Manager Staff I attended the resident to
defuse the situation.
On 4/6/21 at 3:30 p.m., in an interview Unit Manager Staff I said this was a known behavior for the resident.
The remedy to calm the resident was to sit in a chair next to the bed and let the resident talk. This satisfied
the resident and calmed the event. She said this resident was recently moved to this room from another
area in the facility. She said the staff attending this room was not trained in the method for diffusing the
resident's anxiety according to the unit manager.
On 4/6/21 at 3:41 p. m., CAN Staff R remained on the unit. She was observed walking down the hallway.
On 4/7/21 at 12:30 p.m., observed resident #202 sitting at her bedside finishing her lunch. Resident #202
was tearful. She stated in an interview she was upset about the incident that happened the previous. She
said it was the second time a CAN had spoken to her that way. She said she felt very stressed and needed
something for her anxiety. She became tearful again as she recounted the experiences.
2. Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #19 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with the
following diagnosis: History of femur fracture, heart disease, chronic respiratory problems, hypertension,
anxiety, depression, insomnia, and macular degeneration. Resident was legally blind. Resident was
