Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from verbal abuse.
This applies to 1 of 8 residents (R1) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 8.
The findings include:
The facility's reported incidents dated June 2, 2024 shows, resident abuse with R1 and V3 Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA). R1 is a [AGE] year-old male who resides at the facility for long term care services. He is
alert and oriented with occasional forgetfulness and confusion. Diagnosis include, but not limited to:
Diabetes, atrial fibrillation, dementia with psychotic disturbance, depression, CKD (chronic kidney disease)
and congestive heart failure. On 6/2/24 at approx. (approximately) 2:40pm (2:40 PM), a staff member (V4
Registered Nurse (RN) reported to administrator that a CNA (V3) was observed telling R1 to shut up and
go to his room. Findings: The facility conducted a thorough investigation pertaining to the allegation of
abuse. Based on interviews with R1 and facility staff, including witnesses, the facility does substantiate
verbal abuse.
On June 17, 2024 at 11:30 AM, R1 was sitting up in his wheelchair in his room. He stated, sometimes the
staff is in a mood but no one has been mean to him. He did not remember the incident on June 2, 2024.
On June 17, 2024 at 9:59 AM, V4 RN stated, she was giving report to the second shift nurse when they
heard some yelling. They paused their report and heard more yelling. They stepped out of the medication
room and saw V3 CNA coming away from R1's room (right across from the nursing station) after she
slammed his door. V4 RN stated, she told V3 CNA she could not yell at him like that or shut his door. R1 is
a fall risk and to open the door back up. V3 CNA stated, well he needs to shut up. V4 RN said that was not
right and reported the incident to V1 Administrator right away because you can't treat residents that way.
On June 17, 2024 at 12:25 PM, V5 CNA stated, her statement has more details but from what she
remembered, she was at the nurses station getting report from another CNA. She wasn't paying full
attention but she heard V3 CNA tell R1 he needed to be quiet and pushed him into his room. R1 came back
out of his room saying, don't push me and other comments. V3 CNA walked back and pushed him back in
the room, told him to be quiet and slammed the door. At that point, the nurses came out and saw what was
going on. I think he had gotten on her nerves. She stated, V3 CNA should have handled the situation
differently. She also stated, she heard V3 CNA tell the nurse that R1 needed to shut up.
V5's CNA statement dated June 2, 2024 shows, During report V3 CNA heard R1 speaking and she began
