rough with me. The resident stated it had to be the CNA's way or no way. Resident #1 stated the CNA [Staff
A] forcibly crossed his arms over his chest and was mean to him by laughing at him. Resident #1 said, I do
not want him again and I have not seen him since. I feel like I have the right to choose to refuse care and I
have choices, and it is against my rights and the law to force me to do something. The resident stated
regarding PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) diagnosis, I do not want to talk about it. During this

A telephone interview was conducted on 04/13/25 at 11:24 a.m. with Staff A, CNA. Staff A stated he was
suspended on 04/10/25 after speaking with the Risk Manager (RM), about a claim a resident made. Staff A
stated he worked with Resident #1 on 04/08/25 from 2.45 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. He stated the resident had
used the typical references which are vulgar. Staff A said, I prepared him for dinner gave him snacks, water,
and asked if he needed to be changed. I changed him around 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. I was by myself. He is one
person for changing in bed. Staff A stated Resident #1 yelled profanity that night and at times used
profanity and racial slurs on the staff member. The staff member said during care, the resident will have a
reaction, like not wanting to be changed and when you try to assist him, he will use all kinds of words and
then he will apologize. He says it is something he can't help. His reactions vary. He is unpredictable. Staff A
stated when he changed Resident #1 on the 8th, he had asked for more clean linens and for some reason
the resident went on a rant, name calling. Staff A stated Resident #1 had swung at him before, and this
night he swung a few times. Staff A denied knowing the source of Resident #1's injuries after the care was
completed and said, I don't know if he hit anything, he was swinging at me. He did not say stop caring from
me. I was not near him. I walked out after that and yes, I changed him. Staff A said regarding the bruises
and skin tears on the resident, I do not know how the injuries happened. He did not receive any injuries
from me. Staff A stated he did not report this incident because Resident #1 had been doing this all along.
An interview was conducted on 04/13/25 at 12:01 p.m. with the Social Services Director (SSD). She stated
Resident #1 had tendencies that are unusual. He uses racial slurs towards some staff. He yells out for staff.
The SSD stated the resident has it more or so with male CNAs, especially African America males. The SSD
stated the resident would much later in the day apologize. She stated when this happens, it has ended up
being allegations that they report. The SSD said, Sometimes he says I got angry and that resolves it. The
SSD stated none of the incidents had been substantiated. The SSD reviewed the care plan which showed
general interventions which did not specify expectations for the staff when Resident #1 was yelling and
cussing. The SSD said, I would hope staff would bring themselves down and not be confrontational with
him and encourage him to express himself better. The SSD said on 4/7/25 she had visited Resident #1 in
his room because of an incident that happened on 4/6/25 when he said a CNA had grabbed him by the
throat. The SSD stated the resident could not tell what day specifically or what CNA it was. The SSD stated
the resident had reported the CNA was caring for him, he did not want him to, and the CNA grabbed him by
the throat. The SSD stated she had screened Resident #1 for trauma and the resident had reported an
extensive history of sexual abuse. The SSD said on 12/2/24 Resident #1 had reported African American
CNAs are short with him. The SSD stated regarding the follow up, I don't think I did anything with that
information. I should have referred him to psych. I don't know if I did. The SSD stated when Resident #1
makes complaints of staff being rough or short with him, they should remove the CNA from his care. The
SSD could not confirm if this had been done or not.
An interview was conducted with the Risk Manager (RM) on 04/13/25 at 1:15 p.m. The RM stated Resident
#1 has had two incidents. He stated on Sunday 4/6/25 he received a phone call from Staff B, Registered

reported an African American male with dreadlocks came into his room, referring to the evening of 4/8/25,
as the resident wanted to be changed. Resident #1 refused and asked the staff member to leave. He
stated, he did not like CNA [Staff A] because he is rude and walks like derogatory words. The RM stated
the resident said that he and the staff member had words. The resident reported he crossed my hands and
held me down, I was trying to hit the staff member but could not. The RM stated the resident said the staff
member grabbed both of his hands and crossed them and pushed them down to his chest. The RM said
during that interview the resident showed two areas post skin tear and another medial fore arm tear and
wrist area tear to the left arm and a single area of bruises on left arm. The RM said the resident bruises
easily and could have hit his arms on the end of the bedside table. The RM stated the resident appeared to
have a problem with people of color. He stated the expectation was if they go in and he is yelling or says no,
they are to leave. The RM stated he was not aware the resident had a history of sexual trauma or why he
would potentially target African American male staff. The RM stated regarding the care plan, No, I did not
review his care plan. I was not aware he had a history of abuse. If we would have thought so, we could have
looked at the incidents differently. I did not know.
A second interview was conducted on 4/14/25 at 9:25 a.m. with the Risk Manager (RM). The RM stated he
had interviewed Staff A, CNA who reported Resident #1 had been abusive and called him derogatory and
inappropriate racial slurs. The CNA stated he did not see the bruises and skin tears. The RM stated Staff A
did not answer yes, or no, when asked if the resident had attempted to hit him. The RM stated Staff A
confirmed he had changed the resident but denied causing him any injury. He stated he had interviewed
Staff C, LPN/Agency assigned to Resident #1 that night and Staff C denied having knowledge of the
incident.
On 04/13/25 at 2 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff D, LPN/Unit Manager (UM). Staff D stated
Resident #1 had problems with dark skinned people. She said, He yells at them, sometimes he does not
want care from them, they will come to the room, and he says he does not want to be changed. When he
says that they come to me, I go to him and see if he needs to be changed, or if he has a smell, he then lets
me change him. Staff D stated about a month earlier she became aware of the resident's history of abuse.
She stated she reported it to the SSD. Staff D stated on the first day of the incident, I saw the bruising on
his left arm, a small open area, which is now scabbed. On the Right arm, it was open, purple- ish in color,
the bruising was not there before the incident. Staff D stated she saw the resident the day before, I saw the
right arm, he has some drainage. I did treatment and xeroform dressing for the scabbed area on the left too.

On 04/13/25 at 2 p.m. an interview was conducted with Staff D, LPN/Unit Manager (UM). Staff D stated
Resident #1 had problems with dark skinned people. She said, He yells at them, sometimes he does not
want care from them, they will come to the room, and he says he does not want to be changed. When he
says that, they come to me, I go to him and he says he is refusing because he is dry, but I can see he
needs to be changed, or he has a smell. He then lets me change him. Staff D stated about a month earlier
she became aware of the resident's history of abuse. She stated she reported it to the SSD.
An interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)
on 4/14/25 at 12:01 p.m. The DON stated they had one resident with a PTSD diagnosis, but was taken off
the diagnosis because they did not meet criteria. The DON stated she was not aware Resident #1 had a
history of PTSD or any history of sexual abuse. She stated he would have to be assessed. The NHA stated
Resident #1 was inconsistent. Sometimes he is receptive to care and sometimes he was not. The DON
stated psych was planning an on-site visit.
An interview with Resident #1's psychiatrist on 04/13/25 at 2:35 p.m. revealed she had seen the resident on
04/08/25 following an allegation of a staff member who molested him. The psychologist stated during the
visit Resident #1 mentioned very little of the incident and wanted to discuss his sleep issues instead. The
psychiatrist reported being unaware of this resident's history of trauma. She said, I have not been made
aware of PTSD concerns or any events that could trigger him. She stated the Psychologist would probably
be the one to provide the coping mechanisms as it was not something she was aware of, or she was
addressing.
On 04/13/29 at 4:49 p.m. an interview was conducted with Resident 1's psychologist. The psychologist
stated she had assessed the resident following concerns of high anxiety. She stated she had witnessed an
incident where an unidentified CNA had raised his voice at Resident #1. She stated when that CNA walked
into the resident's room that day, the resident said, this is why I am so scared, this is the guy. The
Psychologist stated the CNA raised his voice again. She stated, It was not a good response. The
psychologist stated she notified the psych nurse and asked her to review medications and evaluate
possible PTSD. The psychologist reported the resident said, I have crazy dreams that wake me up and
cause me irritability. She stated they reviewed his medications. The Psychologist said, I know he has stated
he does not like to be changed as he is afraid of people. He does not trust others. He likes to be isolated,
and he wished his blinds were darker. He wished to be by himself. The Psychologist said she was not
aware of the resident's history of sexual abuse. She stated that could be the reason he was refusing care
and could explain the fear. She stated he was also afraid of a family member who had donehorrendous
things. The psychologist stated the resident had not said why he was against African American staff, but
confirmed they are doing some things he does not like. The psychologist could not explain what those
things were.
Review of a facility policy titled Comprehensive Care Plans, dated 9/7/22 showed it is the policy of this
facility to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for each resident, consistent
with resident rights, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a resident's medical,
nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the resident's comprehensive
assessment. Under definitions: Trauma-informed care is an approach to delivering care that involves
understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. A trauma-informed
approach to care delivery recognizes the widespread impact, and signs and symptoms of trauma in
residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies, procedures and practices to
avoid re-traumatization.
