**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of the clinical record, review of policy and procedures and resident and staff interviews, the facility
failed to protect vulnerable residents' rights to be free from abuse by failing to ensure residents were
protected from mental and verbal abuse for 4 (Residents #699, # 700, #800 and #850) of 4 residents
reviewed for allegations of abuse.
The findings included:
The facility policy Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation implemented 3/1/22 (revised 3/1/23) documented, It is
the policy of this facility to provide protection for the health, welfare and rights of each resident by
developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect,

anguish. It includes verbal abuse and mental abuse.
Mental abuse includes but is not limited to humiliation, harassment, threats of punishment or deprivation.
Review of the facility investigation documented an allegation was made by Resident #699 and Resident
#700 involving concerns about inappropriate verbal interactions and improper care practices by a certified
nursing assistant (CNA) Staff A during evening care period the allegation includes potential and verbal
threats and failure to follow proper hygiene procedures. The allegation occurred on 4/17/25 at 3:29 p.m.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #699 a [AGE] year-old female (YOF) readmitted on [DATE]
with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, heart failure and anxiety.
The Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in
nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 2/27/25 documented Resident #699's
cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact.
On 5/7/25 at 9:00 a.m., in an interview Resident #699 said, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff A, was
nasty and she was big, and I was afraid of her. She would not listen to me when I tried to tell her about the
steps for my shower. She said to me, Shut up or I will leave you in this chair and

not come back. She did not use the lift like she should have to get me up. She just picked me up out of bed
and was rough and put me in the wheelchair (w/c). I told her I needed to use the bathroom, that is how they
always do it, but she was nasty. She did not hit me, but she was rough. I couldn't stand and she grabbed me
and put me in the w/c. I was afraid she would leave me in the w/c. I had a bowel movement (BM) in my brief
during the shower; and she did not take it off. The CNA washed me in the w/c with the dirty brief on. I tried
to tell her how to do it to make it easier for her and she told me, I know what I'm doing, she did not listen to
me. I was shaking and afraid she would do something to me. She did not want to put me in the shower
chair, and she washed me with the BM diaper on and in my w/c. She ruined my w/c cushion and the w/c.
There was BM all over it and it was wet. The CNA brought me back to the room full of BM and picked me up
and put me in bed. She was mean and rough. She told me again if I said anything she would leave me in
the w/c and not come back. She made me shut up. She was a big lady. I was afraid of her, and I did not
want to see her again. Resident #699 said, About a week later the police came in and asked me about it
and took my statement. He told me the CNA had been fired. I think the facility should have told me,
because every time the door opened, I was afraid she was back, or she would retaliate against me or have
someone else do it. That was my biggest fear that she would come back. It would have made me feel more
comfortable if I knew the CNA was not here anymore. I was afraid she was going to come back, and they
should have told me she was not here anymore. They left me feeling afraid for a week. I was very upset.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #700 a 65 YOF admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including chronic pain and major depressive disorder.
The Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] documented the resident was independent with her care needs. The
MDS noted Resident #700's cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact.
On 5/7/25 at 8:30 a.m., in an interview Resident #700 said, I was very respectful and nice to CNA Staff A. I
don't remember her name but for a week prior to the incident she would come in the room to bring ice and
what not and did not really bother us but she was not friendly or nice. You could tell she was not happy with
the job, but she never said anything.
Resident #700 said, On 4/17/25 on 3 p.m., to 11 p.m., shift, I don't know the exact time, the CNA came into
the room and my roommate Resident #699 had asked for a shower. The CNA got mad and said it was not
her time. We explained to her that they changed our showers to 3-11 p.m. The CNA was thick, strong and
built like a linebacker. She looked mean like she would hurt you. I tried to explain to her, and she looked
right at me in the eyes like she wanted to hurt me and said, Shut up. I was a social worker and I'm mostly
independent so I help my roommate out when I can. My roommate was telling her how she usually gets her
shower, they bring the shower chair in, and they take her to the bathroom for a BM and then wheel her to
the shower room. The CNA said, Don't tell me how to do my job, I know what I'm doing. I watched her pick
my roommate up out of bed without the lift and she was rough and slammed her into the w/c. My roommate
was shaking, and I could see she was afraid and getting anxious. She left the room without toileting her and
returned a while later. My roommate had a BM in the brief because she did not toilet her. The CNA gave her
a shower in the w/c in the soiled brief. It took her 45 minutes to get her back in bed and clean her up. I was
watching her with my roommate, and she was rough and mean. She was moving her around in bed like a
bag of wet cement. My roommate was saying stop but she kept up. There was BM everywhere on the
cushion in the w/c and it stunk. I told my roommate we need to report it, but she was afraid of retaliation, so
I called her daughter and told her. The next morning, I told the nurse. Then the Management Team came in
and spoke to us about it.

They had the police in about a week after that to get our statements and I told him everything. The facility
did not tell us the CNA was no longer working here. My poor roommate was afraid, and they should have
told us she was no longer employed here. I saw how she was handling my roommate, and I tried to tell her
how to do it, but she was not listening to me and she turned and glared at me with a look that said she
would hurt me. We have been roommates for years and we look out for each other, so I was watching how
she got her in and out of the bed. She was very rough with her, and she was shaking, she was afraid. I think
the facility did what they were supposed to do because that first week we had so many people here asking
us about it and we told them just like we are telling you. The story did not change, and it will not change
because it is the truth.
On 5/7/25 at 9:45 a.m., in an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff C said, I was not here the
night it happened with CNA Staff A. I work the 7 a.m., to 3 p.m., shift and this occurred on the 3-11 shift.
Resident #700 told me what had happened, and I had her fill out a grievance form and I assisted Resident
#699 to fill hers out. I went right to the Administrator and gave her the grievance forms and told her what
they said had happened. That is all I know, really. Like I said, I was not here when it happened.
Further review of the facility investigation documented The allegation was determined to be unsubstantiated
based on the investigation findings; the CNA's behavior was found inconsistent with facility standards. The
CNA was found to have violated the facilities Code of Conduct and Resident Rights policies through the
use of inappropriate and unprofessional communication.
The facility reported a second allegation of abuse to the State Agency involving Resident #800 and #850.
The report documented on 4/25/25 at 5:00 a.m., two residents have raised concerns alleging a staff
member, CNA Staff B, displayed aggressive behavior toward them in their shared room. In addition, Staff D
reported witnessing concerning interactions involving CNA Staff B and the residents. The residents have
voiced concerns regarding their comfort and feelings of safety within their room. Supportive measures have
been initiated, including increased monitoring and emotional support.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #850 was an 84 YOF with an admission date of 3/21/25.
Diagnoses included a fracture of the right fibula, dementia and chronic pain syndrome.
The admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated the resident required substantial to maximum assistance with
toileting, showers, bed mobility and personal hygiene.
The MDS noted Resident #850's cognitive skills for daily decision making were intact.
On 5/8/25 at 8:30 a.m., in an interview Resident #850 said on 4/25/25 the CNA that night came in to
change her and her roommate Resident #800. CNA Staff B pulled my covers back and moved my gown up,
then said she would be right back. The CNA did not come back for 45 minutes. I was at that point covered in
urine and cold. I had taken my wet gown off and thrown it in the corner. I was in a fetal position and so cold.
The CNA began mumbling things in a different language and was rough when pulling the wet pad out from
under me. She was mumbling something in a different language the whole time. She then sprayed me with
cold water to clean me, and I said, please don't do that but she continued to do it. I felt abused, hurt and I
don't think I was being taken care of. I was so scared to say something. If I had said something, who knows
what she would have done the next night. Resident #850 said being left uncovered for 45 minutes felt
demeaning and hurtful. She said she was never physically hit; the CNA was just rough when changing me
and mumbling things. Resident #850 was observed tearful and emotional during the interview. Resident
#850 said the same thing happened similarly the week

before with this CNA, but she did not report it. Prior to that incident, the resident said the CNA came in and
yelled, it's 12:00 a.m., turn the television off. Resident #850 said, She then pulled my curtain shut and put
my remote out of reach so I couldn't turn it back on.
Resident #800, an 83 YOF with an admission date of 3/13/25 and diagnoses including chronic kidney
disease Stage 3, Hypertensive heart disease, Type 2 diabetes Mellitus, and major depressive disorder.
The Medicare 5-day MDS dated [DATE] documented the resident's cognitive skills for daily decision making
were moderately impaired.
On 5/8/25 at 11:27 a.m., in interview with Resident #800, said she did not know about the incident on
4/25/25 with CNA Staff B. She said she was probably sleeping at the time and did not remember the
incident. The resident said, I just felt uncomfortable when she was around me, she was not nice.
On 5/8/25 at 9:30 a.m., in an interview, Central Supply Staff D, said, on 4/25/25 at around 5 a.m., I was
doing rounds, and I was in Resident #800 and #850's room. I felt the CNA Staff B was verbally abusive, she
was just very short with Resident #850. These folks are here in our care and if we don't care we shouldn't
be here. CNA Staff B was very short the way she was talking with her and I saw her be rough with her. I
saw her. She jerked Resident #850's arm when she was trying to get her arm in her sweater. She was
rough and I had been told by Resident #850 that the CNA was mean to her all the time.
About a week ago I was taking with Resident #850 on the way to a doctor's appointment because I also
drive the facility van. The resident said I'm afraid of my night aid, she is very mean, and she said it was Staff
B.
CNA Staff B was very big and intimidating, she gave me a look when I said something to her about what I
saw, but she did not say anything to me. Resident #850 said she was intimidated, she never said Staff B hit
her. I reported it to the nurse on duty at the time because the Director of Nursing (DON) was not here. The
DON did speak with me about what I saw. That is what I observed, I felt like the CNA treated Resident #850
worse when I was not in the room because I could call her on it and the resident could not. I visit the room
most every day.
Further review of the facility investigation documented, Due to a lack of definitive evidence to confirm or
disprove the allegation, the findings are classified as inconclusive. However, based on administration
concerns related to customer service, CNA Staff B's employment has been terminated.
On 5/7/25 at 10:50 a.m., in an interview the Administrator said she had reposted her phone number and
spoke with everyone about abuse, not really abuse but customer service. We reach out to family and
residents to make sure they are ok. This company is all about customer service and right now it is not
acceptable. We have a new leadership team, and we are not tolerating it. The Administrator confirmed there
was no documentation of the increased monitoring after the allegations. The Administrator said, I spoke
with the residents; skin sweeps were done and there were no injuries. I re-educated the staff on customer
service. I think that is the problem, customer service is not where it needs to be.
On 5/8/25 at 8:45 a.m., in an interview the Administrator said regarding the abuse/neglect allegations, I
have done education, and the Regional Nurse Consultant is reviewing that now because it is on-going and
we want to make sure everyone is on the list. I did education and we have online learning

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of policies and procedures, clinical record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide the
necessary interventions to prevent the development of avoidable pressure ulcers for 1(Resident #799) of 3
residents identified as at risk for developing pressure ulcers.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The facility policy Pressure Injury Prevention and Management initiated 3/1/22 (revised 3/1/23)
documented, this facility is committed to the prevention of avoidable pressure injuries unless clinically
unavoidable and to provide treatment and services to heal the pressure injury, prevent infection and the
development of additional pressure injuries.
Pressure ulcer injury refers to localized damage to the skin and or underlying soft tissue usually over a
Bony prominence or related to a medical or other device.
The facility shall establish and utilize a systematic approach for pressure injury prevention and
management including prompt assessment and treatment intervening to stabilize reduce or remove
underlying risk factors monitoring the impact of the interventions and modifying the interventions as
appropriate.
Review of the clinical record revealed Resident #799 was [AGE] years old and admitted to the facility on
[DATE]. Diagnoses included: dementia, chronic kidney disease, muscle weakness and fracture of the left
femur.
The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) (standardized assessment tool that measures health status in
nursing home residents) with an assessment reference date of 12/27/24 documented Resident #799 was
dependent for bed mobility, transfers, toileting and bathing. The MDS documented that the resident was not
at risk for pressure injury and had no pressure injuries at admission.
The MDS noted Resident #799's cognitive skills for daily decision making were moderately impaired.
The care plan initiated 12/25/24 did not address the resident's skin condition including the potential/risk for
pressure injury.
Review of the admission Assessment completed on 12/25/24 documented a surgical wound to the left hip
and no pressure injuries. The assessment documented that the resident was not at risk for pressure
injury/ulcer.
The clinical record showed no documentation of preventive measures to decrease the risk of skin
breakdown for Resident #799.
The weekly skin assessment dated [DATE] documented admission, no open areas.
A Braden scale (used to determine a resident's risk for skin breakdown) was completed on 12/28/24 and
documented a score of 14 indicating moderate risk for skin breakdown.
On 1/4/25 at 6:10 p.m., a nursing progress note documented the resident was transferred to the
