Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident remained free from mental abuse for
one (R5) of three residents reviewed for abuse. This failure resulted in V4 (Former Certified Nursing
Assistant/CNA) taking inappropriate photos of R5 and sending them in a text to her peers. A reasonable
person who had inappropriate photos taken of them and shared with others would have felt sad, humiliated,
and angry.
Findings include:
Facility's final incident report of 1/3/2025, documents on 12/30/2024, it was reported that (V4 Former CNA)
took some inappropriate photos of (R5) and sent them to a CNA group text. An investigation has been
immediately initiated and completed. Upon investigation, it is noted that V4 took photos and posted in CNA
group.
Face sheet indicates R5 is a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
including but not limited to: Cerebral Infarction (stroke), Occlusion and Stenosis of Right Carotid Artery,
Coronary Angioplasty Status, Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis Following Cerebral Infarction Affecting Right
Dominant Side (paralysis and weakness on one side of body following stroke), Hemiplegia and
Hemiparesis Following Cerebral Infarction Affecting Left Non-Dominant Side, Dysphagia (difficulty
swallowing), and Sepsis (body's extreme reaction to infection). MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated
[DATE] indicates R5 has severely impaired cognition.
1/28/2025, at 3:05 PM, V2 (DON-Director of Nursing) said V4 (Former CNA) was terminated on
12/31/2024, for HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and resident rights violations by
posting photos of a resident (R5) to CNA chat group members.
1/28/2025, at 4:24 PM, V6 (Certified Nursing Administrator) said she received pictures of R5 via group text
from V4 (Former CNA).
1/29/2025, at 11:06 AM, via telephone, V9 (Scheduler) said she received a text from V4 (former CNA) at
approximately 10:30 PM on 12/30/2024. Included in the text were two pictures of R5 (V9's aunt). R5's face
was visible, diaper open and soiled with feces, buttocks visible. V9 said she was upset V4 sent pictures of
R5 to her in a CNA group. V9 said V4 responded, it's not right what's going on, everyone needs to know. V9
reported the incident to V2 (DON) and V11 (Human Resources Director). V2 followed up with all CNAs
included in the group text to ensure that pictures were deleted from their phones and not forwarded. R5's
family was informed of the incident.

1/31/2025, at 9:02 AM, via telephone, V4 (Former CNA) Spanish speaking states, that day I went to start
my night shift, I got to the floor, there were no nurses or CNAs, nobody was on the floor. When I got there, I
find R5, hanging from the side rail, full of stool/wet and R5 is a fall risk. V4 continues to state I got scared
and how could they leave her like that. My first reaction was that it was not fair to leave a person like that. I
took a picture of the status she was in, they always left her like that. V4 reports that they wouldn't keep her
safe, they didn't have anyone watching her, on top of that they would close her door because she would yell
out. V4 reports that she was added to the group chat via text that was made for support. V4 states that she
took one picture of R5 and sent the same picture twice in the group text. V4 states that she doesnt know
how many CNAs were in the group chat. V4 continued to state that she did not receive any abuse training in
the facility. I'm told to sign things, I don't know what I'm signing. V4 states that she completed her CNA
training outside of the facility and she did struggle during the CNA training due to her language barrier. V4
reports that she feels sorry about what she did, but she continues to state she (V4) didn't know she
shouldn't send the picture. V4 reports that other CNAs had sent other residents' pictures of bruises in the
group chat.
1/30/2025, at 7:49 PM, via telephone, V25 (R5's Daughter) said she was informed by V2 (DON) that a CNA
(Certified Nursing Assistant) took pictures of R5 and posted them to other staff via a group chat. V25 said
R5 is not in her right mind and could not have given consent for the pictures to be taken. The pictures
showed R5's face, she was completely nude. I was very heated, my concern was if R5's picture was posted
on social media. V25 said she did not tell R5 about the pictures. V25 added, R5 would have felt sad,
humiliated, and angry because it was an invasion of R5's privacy.
CNAs Group Text list documents there were 19 CNAs included in the text.

Respond appropriately to all alleged violations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their abuse policy to complete a thorough
abuse investigation for one of three residents reviewed for abuse (R4) in the sample of seven.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1/29/2025, at 12:37 PM, V11 (Human Resource Director) stated (V11) was told by other staff that V5
(Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) said bad words to R4. I went to V7 (Former Administrator) and reported
that I was told V5 said some bad words to a resident. I don't think he (V7) did a complete investigation. He
did not involve social services to interview R4 and other residents and didn't interview additional staff. He
kept me out of the loop. Anytime I asked him about the investigation he would say, don't worry about it, I'm
handling it.
1/29/2025, at 2:50 PM, via telephone, V7 (Former Administrator) said, it was reported to him, by V6 (CNA)
that V5 (CNA) used profanity while performing direct resident care to R4. V6 reported the incident to V2
(Director of Nursing) who reported it to me. I did an investigation; I think I interviewed staff on the unit. I
interviewed staff involved (V5, V6). I interviewed the resident and her roommate. My interviews should be
included in my investigation.
1/30/2025, at 1:53 PM, V17 (Director of Clinical Services) said I typically dont get involved in abuse
investigations. There was a lot of information missing from V7's interviews (names, dates, times, allegation
details). I instructed V7 to get a detailed accounting of what happened that night. V7 did not do a thorough
investigation.
V7's investigation included R4's, V5's (CNA), V6's (CNA), and V26's (Registered Nurse) statements.
Statements did not include dates or times that alleged abuse occurred. No other statements for staff who
routinely work with V5 or residents V5 routinely takes care of.
Abuse Prevention Program Facility Policy and Procedure (reviewed 1/4/2018) page 8, Investigation
Procedures, documents in part, Residents to whom the accused has regularly provided care, and
employees with whom the accused has regularly worked with will be interviewed to determine whether
anyone has witnessed any prior abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment or misappropriation of resident
property by the accused individual.

Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to follow the care plan addressing the resident will
maintain adequate nutritional and hydration status and failed to implement current professional standards of
practice to follow up and/or address a Registered Dietician's recommendations for one resident (R2) out of
four residents reviewed for hydration. This failure places residents at risk to be provided with inappropriate
care and services to meet the resident's physical, mental and/or psychosocial needs.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
R2's face sheet documents that R2 has diagnoses including but not limited to: severe sepsis with septic
shock, unspecified atrial fibrillation, encounter for attention to gastrostomy, adult failure to thrive, type 2
diabetes mellitus without complications, pressure ulcer of other site, unspecified stage, chronic kidney
disease, stage 3a, obstructive and reflux uropathy, unspecified, hemiplegia and hemiparesis.
R2's MDS/Minimum Data Set Section C dated 12/11/2024 documents that R2 has a BIMS/Brief Interview
for Mental Status score of 00/15, indicating that R2 is severely cognitively impaired.
R2's MDS/Minimum Data Set section I dated 12/11/2024, documents that R2 has medically complex
conditions.
On 1/29/2025, at 11:24 AM, V8 (Consultant Dietitian) states that she looks at the labs and recommends
repeat labs if she has a concern. V8 states that she requested labs for R2 multiple times several months
ago. V8 continues to state that she was unable to obtain them. V8 reports dieticians cannot order labs. V8
states that she informed V10 (Assistant Director of Nursing) and sent recommendations via electronic mail
to nursing department which includes V2 (Director of Nursing) and V10. V8 states that V10 responded to V8
that they will ask the doctor. V10 continues to state R2's labs were not good, R2's water provision was way
above, with such a large volume going in due to his water flush orders and sodium level was still high, he
could have some kind of endocrine concern. V8 states that she monitors R2 monthly, and she states that
especially with R2 having wounds, you want to keep him well hydrated. V8 states that she recommended
for R2 to get follow up labs at least 4 times.
On 01/30/2025, at 9:33 AM, V19 (Nurse Practitioner) states that if the dietitian, wound care specialist,
psychiatrist have recommendations that are related to medical concerns, the nursing department should
notify V19. V19 continues to state the director of nursing should audit the charts for any new orders or
recommendation. V19 states that it is important to follow up on healthcare professional's recommendations.
V19 states because that's the way we are providing a good care for the patient, because if they recommend
something, it's their best knowledge. V19 reports that R2 has been declining for a very long time due to
R2's comorbidities. V19 states that he recommended R2 to be on hospice, his family has refused. V19
states that he never got notification from anyone that the dietician recommended follow up labs. V19 states
that if lab is showing abnormal renal function, it's not appropriate to not follow up because it's the patient's
life.
On 1/29/2025, at 3:33 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) states that V10 (Assistant Director of Nursing) is on
vacation and V10 is responsible for following up with dietician's recommendations.
On 1/30/2025, at 11:49 AM, this surveyor asked V2 what happened with the V8 (Consultant Dietitian)

recommendation for R2 to have follow up labs. V2 states I'm not sure what happened with the labs, to be
honest. V2 states that when she would follow up with V10 (Assistant Director of Nursing) regarding the
notification/recommendations from V8, V10 would respond to V2 that she is following up with the doctor and
it is taken care of.
