This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. 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, (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
