What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 7 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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to maintain residents dignity by failing to provide toileting in a timely manner. This failure affected one of five residents (R1) reviewed for dignity/incontinence care on the sample list of 3. Findings include:R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of a possible 15, indicating R1 has no cognitive impairment.The same MDS documents that R1 is always continent of bowel and bladder, and that R1 requires substantial/maximal assistance to transfer on and off the toilet.On 12/09/25 at 1:05 p.m., R1 stated, As far as staff, they have never provided rough care. On the other hand, there was an incident last week that really upset me. A CNA (later identified as V37, Certified Nursing Assistant), I don't know her name, brought my breakfast in and rudely dropped my tray on the bedside table. She was upset because I asked her if she would take me to the bathroom before I ate. She said, ‘p** (urinate) your diaper, I am not your CNA, I don't have time.'R1 further stated, I don't believe this was abuse. I do believe this was humiliating and very disrespectful (R1 became tearful). R1 continued, My roommate (R13) can tell you this really upset me. I did not tell anyone else until after I ate breakfast. I was sitting in my own urine for what felt like an hour. After breakfast, another CNA came in and walked me to the bathroom. That girl (V37, CNA) has not been in my room since. I don't know if she was having a bad day or what the issue was. If it happens again, I will go straight to the nurse and report it.On 12/09/25 at 1:30 p.m., R13 stated, I do know there was a CNA (later identified as V37) that told R1 she would not take her to the bathroom before breakfast and said R1 should p** (urinate) in her diaper. Of course, this is a horrible thing to say. It made R1 very upset. It would make anyone upset. R1 was humiliated and tried to hold it until staff had time to take her.On 12/09/25 at 1:58 p.m., V18, Certified Nursing Assistant, stated, R1 was upset that a CNA had left her in a wet incontinence brief. I would be upset too. She told me about it after the fact. I think the CNA (V37) told her she was not R1's CNA, so she didn't take her to the bathroom because she was on trays (delivering meals) that day. It does not matter which residents we are assigned; we all know to take a resident when they ask. Yes, that is a dignity issue-being left to urinate in their brief. I did not hear that she was told to p** (urinate) herself.On 12/11/25 at 10:29 a.m., V24, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, I was here and had heard about V37, CNA, telling R1 she couldn't take her to the bathroom. I did not hear that V37 told her to p** in her diaper. Absolutely, I would think that telling her to p** in her pants would be abuse. No one should tell any resident that. I did report this to the supervisor on duty. I did not see this as abuse. I did ask R1 if she felt abused, and she said she was just embarrassed that she peed on herself. I can't remember who the supervisor was that was working. R1 was tearful at the time. She was taken to the bathroom after somebody heard her crying. R1 was incontinent of urine that morning; she is never incontinent. V37 should have stopped passing breakfast trays and taken R1 immediately to the (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.

V37 was not R1's CNA and was passing breakfast trays. She said she told R1's CNA (unidentified) that R1 needed to go to the bathroom. I was here and told the supervisor when I received R1's complaint. I think this was a significant dignity issue. The CNAs were educated to stop and take residents to the bathroom when they ask. They can't hold it very long and should not have to. I have not had any other issues with V37 or other CNAs toileting residents when they ask. V37 needed a refresher (repeat education).On 12/11/25 at 11:50 a.m., V25, CNA, walked R1 to the bathroom and provided peri-care assistance. R1 voided continent of urine. R1's incontinence brief was dry, confirming R1 is continent of urine when toileted promptly.On 12/12/25 at 9:45 a.m., V37, Certified Nursing Assistant, stated, I brought R1 her breakfast tray, but I never told her to use the bathroom in her brief. I know she is usually taken to the bathroom. She did say something about needing to go to the bathroom and me getting her up. V6 (previous CNA) doesn't work here anymore. I think V6 was R1's CNA that day. I may have told R1 I would get her CNA. I just did not have time to do R1's morning care. Her CNA was supposed to get her up, dressed, and complete her morning care, which includes taking the resident to the bathroom. R1 was still in bed when she asked me to get her up to go to the bathroom. I did not take her. I was on hall trays (serving meals). I remember that. I thought I told V6, but I don't remember for sure. I was busy.The facility's Resident Rights Policy, dated 07/02/23, documents the following:PURPOSE:To provide guidance to facility staff on resident rights.POLICY:Employees shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity.POLICY INTERPRETATION AND IMPLEMENTATION:Federal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility.

F 0602 Protect each resident from the wrongful use of the resident's belongings or money. Level of Harm - Actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure resident right to be free from staff to resident (R1) misappropriation of a credit card. R1 is one of three residents reviewed for abuse/misappropriation on the sample list 31. R1 experienced psychosocial harm, including emotional distress and tearfulness, as a direct result of the misappropriation of her credit card.Findings include:R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of a possible 15, indicating R1 has no cognitive impairment.R1's Local Police Report, dated 11/24/25, documents that V6, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), was arrested by the local police department after using R1's credit card for purchases totaling $1,350.01, as verified by V16, local police detective. The same police report documents that V6, CNA, was charged with Aggravated Identity Theft Against a Person [AGE] years of age or Older or a Person with a Disability.On 12/09/25 at 1:05 p.m., R1 became tearful while discussing the details of the theft of her credit card. R1 stated she was the victim of theft by V6, a former Certified Nursing Assistant at the facility, who stole R1's bank card and charged over $1,000. R1 stated that V6, CNA, had been arrested. R1 also stated that the police were aware that V6, CNA, had sent R1 messages apologizing for stealing her credit card.On 12/10/25 at 10:15 a.m., V3, Regional Nurse Consultant, stated that the facility did not have an Administrator at the time R1 lost her bank card. It was confirmed through the police department and the police investigation that over $1,000 was charged on R1's bank card by V6, CNA.On 12/10/25 at 11:30 a.m., V16, Detective with the local police department, stated, My investigation regarding R1's bank card was complete. We had enough evidence, including camera footage, to arrest V6, CNA, for the theft.On 12/11/25 at 10:29 a.m., V24, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, I heard about R1's bank card being stolen. I heard police were here. I don't know anything about the previous Administrator (V14) doing an investigation. Nobody talked to me about that. I do know R1 was very upset and became tearful when talking about this.The facility's Abuse Policy, revised 12/2025, documents the following:PURPOSETo provide guidance and procedures to the facility and staff to ensure residents remain free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff, or mistreatment.RESPONSIBILITYThe Administrator and/or designee is the facility's Abuse Coordinator.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review the facility failed to report misappropriation of an amethyst stone ring to Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), in a timely manner. This failure affected one of four residents (R12) reviewed for abuse/misappropriation on the sample list of 31.Findings include:R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R1's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 out of a possible 15, indicating R1 has no cognitive impairment.On 12/09/25 at 1:05 p.m., R1 became tearful while discussing the details of the theft of her credit card, which was investigated by the local police department. R1 then stated that her roommate, R13, could provide details about R12, who had a missing ring that occurred around the same time R1's credit card was stolen.On 12/09/25 at 1:30 p.m., R13 propelled her wheelchair into her shared room with R1. R13 stated, R12's family bought her a ring for her birthday just before Thanksgiving. She told the facility, and they looked for it but never found it. V18, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), knows all about it. R12 is still talking about it. She mentioned how important the ring was to her, and she is heartsick that it came up stolen.R12's MDS, dated [DATE], documents that R12's BIMS score at the time of the assessment was 5 out of a possible 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment.On 12/09/25 at 1:35 p.m., R12 stated, Someone stole the ring my grandchildren saved up to buy me for my birthday. I couldn't believe it. It happened a week or so ago. Staff searched for it but never found it. The police called here today and said they found two rings (could not confirm this). I don't know if I am missing two rings. I am waiting for a ride to go confirm which one is mine. I did not have two rings missing-at least I don't think I did. I am hopeful that one of the two the police found is mine.On 12/09/25 at 1:58 p.m., V18, Certified Nursing Assistant, stated, I heard about R12's ring missing last week. R12 told me when I gave her a shower. She was so upset. The Director of Nursing (V2) asked me if I had ever seen R12 wearing a ring. I could not say yes or no. I did look around her room and never saw it. I was told the Administrator at the time, V14 (Interim Administrator), already knew about R12's missing ring. I don't take care of her that often, so I really could not say if she had a ring. I can say she probably did, since it upset her so much when she talked to me.On 12/09/25 at 3:10 p.m., V2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated, Regarding R12, I recall V35, R12's family member, reported to staff that R12's ring was missing sometime before Thanksgiving. I heard about it in a morning meeting. I think V14, Interim Administrator, was there, but I can't be sure. I did not report or investigate R12's missing ring because everybody seemed to already know. I did not call the police at that time. I thought the Social Service Director (V17) had reported and investigated it. She was in the meeting and generally helps with investigations like that.On 12/10/25 at 10:05 a.m., V1, New Administrator/Abuse Prevention Coordinator, stated, I did not find documentation of any investigation regarding R12's missing ring. It does not appear to have been reported to IDPH or investigated. V1 provided the facility's initial misappropriation of property report to IDPH dated 12/10/25 at 10:00 a.m. The report documents that V35, R12's Power of Attorney/family member, reported R12's missing ring, which was last seen in November.On 12/11/25 at 11:30 a.m., V25, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated, I was R12's CNA the day her ring was discovered missing. I had taken her to the dining room, and another resident, R30, asked R12 if her ring was ever found. I was told it had been missing a few days before Thanksgiving. I was here on her birthday when she got the ring, so I know she had it. I told V26, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), about it. We did not have an Administrator at the time, as far as I know. I knew I was supposed to report it. V26 told me to write a report and slide it under V17's (Social Service Director) door. I wrote a statement, and V26 slid it under the door.

I did a thorough search and did not find anything. I reported all of that to V26. The ring was a silver band with a large purple amethyst stone. Her family brought it in for her birthday. I saw it several times. Nobody ever contacted me for additional details beyond my report. I received a call yesterday about it, but the ring went missing last week or the week before.On 12/10/25 at 10:25 a.m., V5, Dietary Manager, stated that V14 was the Interim Administrator and was present at a morning meeting. V14 asked housekeeping staff and CNAs to look for R12's ring. Within minutes, V25 was in R12's room looking for the ring.On 12/11/25 at 12:05 p.m., V17, Social Service Director, stated, I do recall a note about R12's ring missing. The note was not signed, or I could not read who wrote it. I did not think anything of it. I did not put it on the IDPH reportable log or the grievance log. I did call V35, R12's family member, but she didn't answer and her voicemail was full. I forgot about it. I did not report it to V14 because I did not think of this as abuse. It was just a missing ring.On 12/12/25 at 3:10 p.m., V35, R12's family member, returned the call and stated, R12's ring has an amethyst stone at the center with small diamond stones around it. It was given to her by her grandchildren for her birthday on 11/15/25. It was last seen when I visited on 11/21/25. The day before Thanksgiving, the ring was missing. I reported this to a CNA at the time, but I don't remember which one. She told me she would look for it. I didn't hear anything else from the facility until yesterday. I spoke with the current Administrator, V1, who said she would conduct an investigation. I'm not sure how the issue was missed previously. I thought they were still looking for it. The ring has been missing for weeks. The police department has since called and reassured me they will conduct a thorough investigation. I sent a picture of the ring to the current Administrator and the police department. I'm still hopeful the ring will turn up.The facility's Abuse Policy, revised 12/2025, documents the following:PURPOSETo provide guidance and procedures to the facility and staff to ensure residents remain free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff, or mistreatment.RESPONSIBILITYThe Administrator and/or designee is the facility's Abuse Coordinator.

R1 stated that V3, Regional Nurse Consultant, spoke with her but never spoke with her roommate, R13. R1 stated that R13 knew all about R1's stolen credit card and also knew about R12's missing ring around the same time.R13's MDS, dated [DATE], documents R13's BIMS score as 15 out of a possible 15.On 12/09/25 at 1:30 p.m., R13 confirmed she was with R1 at the time they believe the credit card was stolen by V6, CNA.
