Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to ensure newly hired employees received education on the
facility's abuse policy and prevention program in a timely manner, resulting in an employee witnessing
alleged abuse of a resident and not reporting the alleged abuse for approximately 17 hours.
Residents Affected - Many
This failure has the potential to affect all 75 residents residing in the facility.
The findings include.
The Facility Data Sheet dated July 17, 2023, shows the facility census as 75 residents.
On July 19, 2023, at 11:21 AM, R8 was lying in bed in his room. No injuries or bruising were visible on R8.
Due to his cognitive status, R8 was unable to recall events from June 27 or 28, 2023.
The EMR (Electronic Medical Record) shows R8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R8 has multiple
diagnoses including, adult failure to thrive, anemia, rectal cancer, hypertension, lack of coordination, and
cognitive communication deficit.
R8's MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated February 28, 2023, shows R8 has moderate cognitive impairment,
requires extensive assistance with toilet use, limited assistance with personal hygiene, supervision with bed
mobility, transfers between surfaces, locomotion, dressing, and eating, and can independently walk in the
room. R8 is frequently incontinent of urine and has a colostomy.
The facility's undated Abuse Investigation Report shows V17 (Administrator in Training) was notified on
June 28, 2023, by V14 (Housekeeper), that V14 observed V13 (CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant) providing
care to R8 while V14 was cleaning the hallway. V14 reported [V13] was rough with care.
On July 18, 2023, at 3:10 PM, V16 (Maintenance Director) translated for V14 (Housekeeper). V16 said V14
does not speak English. V14 (Housekeeper) said she was working at the facility on June 27, 2023, at
approximately 3:00 PM. V14 said she was working in the hallway outside of R8's room and saw V13 (CNA)
being rough with the resident while providing care and verbally inappropriate when speaking to R8. V14
said she had direct visual sight of R8 and V13. V14 said she did not report the alleged abuse to V17
(Administrator in Training) until June 28, 2023, at approximately 8:00 AM. V14 said she was not sure what
procedure to follow and spoke to a fellow coworker the following day, on June 28, 2023, who encouraged
her to report the alleged abuse. V14 said she was upset after observing the rough handling of the resident,
and was scared to report the abuse to anyone, and feared retaliation if she reported V13 (CNA) to
administration. Due to the delay in reporting alleged abuse, V13 (CNA) continued to work in the facility and
care for residents on June 27, 2023. V13's timecard for June 27,

On July 18, 2023, at 3:10 PM, V14 (Housekeeper) continued to say, as of July 17, 2023, she had not
received abuse training since her date of hire on June 5, 2023.
Residents Affected - Many
On July 18, 2023, at 3:10 PM, V16 (Maintenance Director) said he is the supervisor for V14 and had been
asked multiple times by Human Resources to provide abuse training to V14 (Housekeeper) because V14
does not speak English and requires a translator. V14 said he had been busy and had not been able to
provide abuse training to V14 as of July 17, 2023, at 3:10 PM. V16 continued to say, [V14] has worked here
for about 90 days, I think. The lady who does our training or orientation does not speak Spanish, so I must
do the training. We do not have a Spanish version of the training materials or the employee handbook.
[V17] (Administrator in Training) has brought this up to me, that I need to go through the handbook with
[V14], but I have not had a chance.
On July 20, 2023, at 8:34 AM, V16 (Maintenance Director) said, [V14] (Housekeeper) has worked on all
floors of the facility. For the most part, the housekeeping staff are assigned to one floor, but I can tell you
she has worked on both floors of the facility.
On July 19, 2023, at 12:13 PM, V17 (Administrator in Training) said, Abuse training has to be completed
before the staff work on the floor. The Maintenance Director was supposed to train her (V14)
(Housekeeper) on abuse. It is our expectation they go through abuse training before they work on the floor.
On July 19, 2023, at 12:13 PM, V1 (Administrator) said, [V17] (Administrator in Training) and I are not sure
how [V14] (Housekeeper) got through the cracks.
On July 20, 2023, at 10:09 AM, V17 (Administrator in Training) said staff sign the abuse training
acknowledgement form at the time they receive abuse training. V17 continued to say dietary aides work in
the kitchen and leave the kitchen to deliver food carts to the resident floors. V17 also said activity aides
work with residents all over the facility.
The facility's personnel files show the following facility staff members, their date of hire, and the date of the

in her bed until around 6:30 PM when V33 woke R1 up to take her medication. V33 then noticed R1 had a
black eye and bruising to the right side of her face and V33 checked R1's EMR and discovered that R1 had
fallen the day before. V33 stated she did not do neuro checklist form in EMR for her shift. V33 also stated
she was unsure of what to do for follow up after a resident had a fall. V33 stated she made a late entry
progress note for the shift (July 10, 2023, evening shift) on July 12, 2023, when the Supervisor told her how
to do it.
On July 17, 2023, at 2:31 PM, V6 (RN-Registered Nurse) stated she became aware that R1 had a femur
fracture on July 11, 2023, at 9:00 AM when she took the radiology results from the fax machine. V6 further
stated R1's left knee was swollen.
On July 17, 2023, at 10:33 AM, V9 (LPN) stated she was with V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) on July 11,
2023, in R1's room prior to R1's transfer to the hospital. V9 stated R1's left knee was really swollen and her
leg was in a flexed positioned, and her leg looked as if the bone was out of place. V9 also noted there was
a break in the skin on the outside of the left knee and it looked as if the bone was protruding through the
skin.
On July 18, 2023, at 11:18 AM, V2 (DON) stated, on July 11, 2023, V9 (LPN) informed me regarding the
small hole on the side of left knee that was described as a bone protruding through the skin. V2 stated at
the time of the fall there was an abrasion to the knee, and it is the left knee, the same leg as the one that
was fractured.
R1's Emergency Department Physician Report dated July 11, 2023, showed R1 had facial hematoma on
the right forehead and right upper eyelid. R1 also had left knee deformity with one centimeter skin opening
with bone protrusion.
R1's hospital record progress note dated July 11, 2023, by V36 (Physician, orthopedic surgeon) showed R1
had an open left distal femur fracture that likely occurred July 9, 2023, two days prior. V36 recommended
urgent I&D (incision and drainage) of open fracture site in OR (operating room) with application of knee
spanning external fixator.
On July 19, 2023, at 4:51 PM, V21 (R1's Physician) stated he relies on the facility nurses to inform him
regarding a resident's injury as the nurses are his eyes and ears. V21 further stated he expects nurses to
perform neuro checks and nursing assessments for residents who experience an unwitnessed fall or hit
their head. V21 stated he did not receive any information regarding injury to R1 until July 11, 2023, at 3:30
AM, via text and he ordered an X-ray of the left knee due to report of the knee swelling. V21 also stated had
he been told that R1 had an unwitnessed fall from her wheelchair onto her face that resulted in facial
bruising on July 9, 2023, V21 would have ordered to send R1 to the hospital immediately.
On July 19, 2023, at 10:38 AM, V2 (DON) stated the expectation following a fall with injury is for
documentation of assessment of the resident for 72 hours. When asked if staff is expected to document the
assessment each shift V2 stated I hope so.
The facility's document titled Falls:, undated, indicated .9. Follow up 72 Hours Post Fall with Neuro checks,
Vitals, changes in ROM (range of motion) or LOC (level of consciousness).
