This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident (R3) was free of abuse from (R2). This failure affected two of two (R2, R3) residents reviewed for abuse causing emotional distress. Findings include: According to the Electronic Health Record (EHR) R3 had diagnoses including osteoarthritis of knee, type 2 diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, and long-term use of hypoglycemic agents. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] showed R3's cognition was intact. On 3/28/2025 at 10:27 AM, R3 stated that sometime in the morning of February 26, 2025, while he was standing by the microwave in the dining room, R2 rolled in his wheelchair right past him so R3 started to move to the side to give way when R2 stated Don't move, it's not something I would have done to you Master. I was just reversing roles. R3 responded saying You mean, I'm supposed to be your slave? R3 stated that R2 alluded to him as a slave. R3 stated he was very upset and distraught about the incident so he went downstairs to the receptionist and was telling the receptionist what happened, and that the receptionist said that V2, Former Administrator, was not in the building yet but that she would inform him as soon as V2 arrives. On 3/28/2025 at 4:14 PM, V5, (Receptionist), confirmed that R3 had reported the incident to her on the same day. V5 stated that upon hearing R3's complaint, she immediately informed V2, (Former Administrator), when he arrived. V5 recalled that V2 assured her that he would speak with both R3 and R2 and address the issue. A progress note by V7, (Registered Nurse), dated 2/26/2025, indicated that R2 had been referred for an inpatient psychiatric evaluation due to escalating non-compliant behaviors and episodes of aggression. The note specifically mentioned that R2 had been vocalizing racial slurs and insults towards other residents, creating a significant safety concern. V7 also documented that R2 had verbalized self-harm and instigated altercations with other residents. The behavior was reported as alarming and required immediate assessment for inpatient psychiatric evaluation. On 3/28/2025 at 1:05 PM, V2, (Former Administrator), acknowledged that he had not been made aware of the allegations regarding R2's comments to R3. V2 stated that, had he known about the incident, it would have been treated as an abuse allegation, and an investigation would have been initiated immediately. However, no formal investigation or report regarding this specific incident was provided by the facility.

V7 noted that R2 had a preference for being cared for by specific ethnicities and would make derogatory remarks regarding other ethnicities. V7 stated that she took these comments seriously and that's why team decided to have him referred to in patient psychiatric care.
