Director of Nurses (DON), the DON reviewed
the nursing notes, and stated "Why would the
staff continue to go to Resident 263 regarding
the room change when it clearly was the
roommate who was the issue." Resident 263
had complained and was fearful, that her
roommate got up at night, and made gestures
towards her, called her names. I would also
look at the medical conditions of both residents
before making a room change, clearly Resident
263 had the largest amounts of items and
medical equipment to move. The DON states
"It appears that after so many times of the staff
asking her to change rooms, she just gave into
them. If she didn't want to move, she should
not have been moved. The Interdisciplinary
Team (IDT) should have gotten together and
discussed the situation and called the
Responsible Party (RP- make medical
decisions for those who are deemed not to
have capacity, regarding changing rooms for
bed B."
During an interview with Resident 263 on May
7, 2018, at 2:00 PM, Resident 263 states, "Her
roommate pulled back the privacy curtain early
in the morning a couple of days ago and
frightened me, she was yelling and had her
hands up like she was going to come and
choke me. This was not the first time that she
had done something like this. She was always
yelling through the curtain calling me names
since she became my roommate." Resident
263 further states that the placement of B bed
was not a good fit, she has dementia, and she
has to have a 1:1 sitter. The sitter did nothing
when Resident 264 yelled at me or pulled the
curtains and made aggressive movements
towards me. She was very angry, seems as
though she thought I was interrupting her
routine and was a bother.

came to me over and over, that I did not want
to move. After a while of them just coming back
at me, I didn't want to move, but they were not
doing anything else to assist me with the
situation. I was frustrated and crying and they
made me feel as if I was the one who had done
something wrong. So I finally gave into them, I
don't know why they would have wanted to
move me, just look around at all the medical
equipment that comes with me, and she had
nothing. Now I am in this room and my
roommates stuff is all over the place, it's messy
and there are dead plants and jars of water. I
don't know what's in here, but I have had a
runny nose and have been sneezing since I
have been in here."
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 7, 2018, at 4:00 PM, with the
ADM, he stated that they were not getting
along so we offered a room change and

had been the aggressor, and called her names.
The ADM confirmed that the policy and
procedure for room changes and the patients'
bill of rights was not followed for Resident 263
given this information. The owner of the facility
was present during the interview and stated, "
No matter what the issue, the best answer is
that Bed A should not have been moved."

During a review of Resident 265's care plans,
no care plans were created for the identified
concern of elopement, or for the use of
restraints.
During an interview and concurrent record
review with the Director of Nurses (DON), on
May 3, 2018, at 1:30 PM. The DON explained
the facility's policy on the use of restraints in
the facility. The DON stated the interdisciplinary
group should have been held to assess the
risks and benefits of the restraints. She further
stated that a physician's order and consent
should have been obtained prior to the use and
a care plan should have been developed. The
DON confirmed that Resident 265 was
ambulatory and with the use of the physical
restraint, the resident could be put in harm's
way if she attempted to get out of bed. The
DON confirmed that all the facility procedures
were not followed prior to the use of physical
restraints. The use of a Bolster mattress would
be considered a physical restraint. She also
confirmed that the use of this type of restraint
without any documentation for use, and the
issue of having her bed on the floor would
diminish Resident 265 dignity.
The facility policy and procedure entitled,
"Restraints", dated October 2017, indicates, "It
is the policy of this facility to not use physical
restrain for convenience or discipline and not
required to treat a resident's medical condition."
Procedure indicates, "1. Assess resident's
need for restrain use and document the
assessment; 2. Obtain physician's order for
restraint and verify informed consent.
Restraints may not be applied until the
physician has obtained informed consent and
the facility has verified such consent (absent
emergencies as to the immediate health and
safety danger to a resident or other residents
but this must be clearly documented); 3.

at me not to talk to Resident 56 about
personnel issues. She further stated, "The RNA
was acting rude and disrespectful to the both of
us, yelling across the room. She was creating
a scene and a conflict when there was nothing
going on." I was assisting my resident and
listening to Resident 56. The RNA should never
have done that, she should have handled the
situation better.
During an interview on May 3, 2018, at 11:30
AM with the Charge Nurse (CN), the CN stated
"I heard raised voices in the dining room telling
a resident that he can't be in the room, I came
in and separated them and told the RNA to go
talk to her supervisor." I talked to Resident 56
and told him that he should talk to the
Administrator or a state surveyor if he had any
other issues. The CN further stated, "From
what I saw the resident was not being
disruptive." When the RNA returned to the
dining room, she started up at it again, she was
yelling and the pitch of her voice was rising,
then Resident 56's voice was also getting
louder. I heard the RNA tell the resident that he
could not eat in the dining room and talk about
other people, she was quite upset. Resident
56 was done and he left the room. The CN
confirmed that she had not reported the
incident to anyone.
During an interview on May 3, 2018, at 11:45
AM with the Director of Staff Development
(DSD) related to the incident in the dining
room, the DSD stated "What incident?"
During an observation and interview on May 3,
2018, at 11:55 AM with Resident 56, the
Resident stated "What did I do wrong? I am so
upset I have turned off my phone, I don't want
to talk to my Mom or my family, and I don't
want to take this out on them." Resident was
observed to be anxious and fidgeting in his bed

dark. Resident 56 continues, "I always try to
do the right thing, I don't understand what I did
wrong. I'm never going into the dining rooms
again, I felt so humiliated and felt like I was a
child being scolded." He further went on to say
that he overheard staff members talking saying
that I'm nothing but a trouble maker after I
talked to you (CDPH - RN). Resident 56 did not
want to give anymore names, what else will
happen. I still don't know why they did this to
me.
During an interview on May 3, 2018, 12:20 PM
with the facility contracted Psychologist (PhD),
the PhD stated, I'm glad you came to me when
you did, Resident 56 is "very hurt, anxious, and
agitated. He is verbalizing how he felt
disrespected by the staff in the dining room this
morning, and that the staff were yelling at him,
scolding him like a child." The PhD further
stated, Resident 56 is the most easy going
resident in this building, he is mellow, he is a
gentleman, and he is always trying to the right
thing to fit in.
A review of the PhD note dated May 3, 2018,
indicted "Provided session in response to an
incident occurring in the large dining room.
Resident had been reprimanded for discussing
personnel business with staff members and
being disruptive. He verbalized feeling
humiliated and disrespected as though he were
a child being scolded by his Mom." He further
noted that Resident 56 was uncertain as to
exactly he did wrong. I assured Resident 56
that he had done nothing wrong.
During a review of "Nursing Notes" for May 3,
2018, nothing was documented regarding the
incident.

last review of the care plan was March 3, 2018,
with no changes noted.
During an interview on May 4, 2018, at 9:15
AM with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated Resident 56 is a
very friendly guy, "he is easy to get along with,
is very independent in his care." CNA 2
continued to say that he can be outspoken
when he needs to be, if it has something to do
with his care. His one thing is that he does not
like to be woken up in the morning, if he is
sleeping, he wants to be left alone.
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 4, 2018, at 9:53 AM with the
SSD, the SSD stated, Resident 56 does not
have any behavior issues, he is always so easy
going, so when the RNA came and told me
about the incident I thought it was unusual so
that's why I called him in. During a review of
the notes you write "the resident was
counseled on appropriate behavior". The SSD
indicated that she had not investigated the
situation prior to talking to the Resident, that
she had just gone on what the RNA said. She
further stated that looking back at it, the RNA
was talking a lot, saying things that I could not
make out, she was talking so fast, she was
yelling and was irritated. The SSD confirmed
that she had not reported the incident to
anyone.
During an interview and concurrent record
review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on
May 4, 2018, at 10:20 AM, the DON stated
"The incident yesterday (May 3, 2018) was not
reported to me. The DON confirmed that the
incident was not reported to her, that there was
no documentation that the physician was
notified, that no change or condition or care
plans were completed.

by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure one of 27
sampled residents (Resident 60) desire for
physician orders for life sustaining treatment
(POLST) were reviewed, signed and dated by a
physician.
This failure has the potential for the resident's
wishes not to be honored during a medical
emergency.
Findings:
During an observation on April 30, 2018, at
1:57 PM, Resident 60 walked around the
hallways in the facility.
A review of the clinical record for Resident 60,
the history and physical dated September 7,
2017 indicated diagnoses of: traumatic brain
injury (an injury to the brain), epilepsy (a
medical condition causing seizures), and
dementia (impairment of memory and
judgement).
During a review of the clinical record for
Resident 60, medical records dated May 19,
2016, indicated Resident 60 was admitted to
the facility on May 19, 2016. Resident 60 was
his own responsible representative and had the
capacity to make decisions.
A review of the clinical record for Resident 60,
the physician orders dated May 1, 2018
indicated "full code, full treatment."

2018, the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining
Treatment (POLST) form was not dated when
the form was prepared. The physician did not
complete his portion which requires his name,
his phone number, his license number, his
signature and the date.
During an interview on May 1, 2018, at 8:17
AM, the Medical Records staff stated the
POLST found in the clinical record was not
valid and should have been completed by the
nurse at admission.
During an interview on May 2, 2018 at 11:27
AM, Resident 60 stated he wanted
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to be
done.
During an interview on May 3, 2018, at 10:28
AM, the DON acknowledged the POLST was
missing the date, the physician never signed or
filled out the form, and that a date should be
near Resident 60's signature. The DON stated
the form should have indicated self - under
relationship to the resident and the blank areas
were not filled out. The DON stated this was
not a valid POLST and should not have been
put in chart. It is incomplete.
The facility policy and procedure titled,
"Advance Directives," dated November 2016
indicated, "A physician, NP [nurse practitioner]
or PA [physician assistant] signature is required

abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident
property, and exploitation as defined in this
subpart. This includes but is not limited to
freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary
seclusion and any physical or chemical
restraint not required to treat the resident's
medical symptoms.
§483.12(a) The facility must§483.12(a)(1) Not use verbal, mental, sexual,
or physical abuse, corporal punishment, or
involuntary seclusion;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to follow their policy on
investigating and reporting to the California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) an
unusual occurrence when:
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident 211 to
be safe and free from verbal abuse when the
physician yelled at Resident 211, "You are
acting like an idiot".
2. Resident 2 was witnessed by the facility staff
to be physically hit multiple times by a family
member.
These failures had the potential for these two
residents to be subjected to further types of
abuse in a universe of 92 residents.
Findings:
During a recertification survey of the facility, on
April 30, 2018 at 8:00 AM, an observation of
Resident 211 was made. Resident 211 was
awake inside his room and in bed, covered with
a personal blanket. Resident 211's breakfast
tray remained untouched.

During an interview with Resident 211, on April

have time and sit down because I have been
thinking about this for so many weeks now. I
feel not being safe here and threatened.
Nobody protects me here." Resident 211 stated
that a month ago while in the social services
office, when the doctor called him an "f******
(expletive) idiot" and was witnessed by the
social workers inside the office. Resident 211
also stated "Doctor [name of the physician] was
standing and I was sitting in a wheelchair when
he pointed his finger in my face and told me
that I am a 'f****** (expletive) idiot'. I felt so mad
and so helpless because I was in a wheelchair.
I felt so small." Resident 211 was tearful and
kept on wiping his eyes during the
conversation. He further stated "Every time that
he is in the facility, I kept my distance. If I'm on
the floor, I go back to my room and close my
curtains so he won't see me and I won't see
him."
During an interview with the Director of Nursing

considered it as verbal abuse. That is why I did
not report it."

nice it was that another staff member got a

at me not to talk to Resident 56 about

was acting rude and disrespectful to the both of

very friendly guy, he is easy to get along with,
is very independent in his care. CNA 2

SSD, the SSD stated, Resident 56 does not
have any behavior issues, he is always so easy

counseled on appropriate behavior". The SSD

situation prior to talking to the Resident, that
she had just gone on what the RNA said. She

During an observation and interview on May 5,
2018 at 10:40 AM, Resident 56 approached a
Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN),
stating "There was another incident last night"
(May 4, 2018) between him and a Licensed
Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN). He stated LVN 5
told him he was verbally abusing CNA 4.
Resident 56 stated that he felt the staff were
targeting him for his complaint to the state
earlier, he appeared nervous and anxious
about what was going to happen to him.
Resident 56 stated, "I feel that my previous
complaint to the state had backfired on me."
He stated, It all started when he lost his vape
(electronic cigarette) and he accused CNA 4 of
taking it." Resident 56 further stated, LVN 5
"approached him and was verbally chastising
him," he stated that when LVN 5 talked to him,
he was told he was being verbally abusive to
the staff.
During an interview on May 5, 2018, at 2:00
PM, LVN 5 stated, I was approached by CNA 4
and told that Resident 56 was accusing him of
stealing his vape. LVN 5 stated she reported
the incident to the Administrator (ADM). The
ADM sent a text which stated "They (the
residents) have to know with state in the
building, if they keep complaining, it could force
us to move them elsewhere." LVN 5 stated that

the text to the resident, but that Resident 56
was "defensive, angry and felt he was being
harassed."
A review of the "Nurses Notes" indicated,
Resident 56 was being monitored as per the
"Corrected Action Plan" for any negative impact
to the psychosocial well-being of the resident
for 72 hours. The notes did not indicate that
another incident took place on May 4, 2018.
A review of Resident 56's "Short Term Care
Plan" entitled 'Risk of psychological distress
after verbal altercation with staff members" was
initiated on May 5, 2018, two days after the IJ
was called.
A review of the "Investigation Report" for the
allegation of abuse indicates "I, the ADM was
notified late morning by the surveyor of an
allegation of verbal abuse from staff member
(LVN) and resident at approximately 10:20 PM
on May 4, 2018. According to the resident, the
Resident, LVN talked to me about speaking
inappropriately to staff members. She (LVN)
went on to say that if I was not happy here that
the facility could help me find placement
elsewhere. According to the LVN, she was
professional, calm, and non-condescending
when she spoke to the resident. She reiterated
what she told him and said he was fine. I
spoke with the resident in the afternoon on May
5, 2018 and explained to him where the LVN's
counsel came from. But I made it clear to him
that this was his home and we would like it very
much if he would stay and not feel that he
needed to find another place to live. He agreed
to "hang in there" for me and to personally
contact me if any further issues. LVN was
suspended pending investigation."

stated that a physician's order and consent
should have be obtained prior to use and that a
care plan should have been developed. The
DON confirmed that Resident 265 was
ambulatory and with the use of the physical
restraint, the resident could be put in harm's
way she attempted to get out of bed. The DON
confirmed that all the above procedures were
not taken prior to using physical restraints and
that the use of a Bolster mattress in the record
that was used, would be considered a physical
restraint. She also confirmed that the use of
this type of restraint without any documentation
for use, and the issue of having her bed on the
floor would diminish the Resident's dignity.
The facility policy and procedure entitled
"Restraints" dated October 2017, indicates "It is
the policy of this facility to not use physical
restrain for convenience or discipline and not
required to treat a resident's medical condition."
Procedure indicates "1. Assess resident's need
for restrain use and document the assessment;
2. Obtain physician's order for restraint and
verify informed consent. Restraints may not be
applied until the physician has obtained
informed consent and the facility has verified
such consent (absent emergencies as to the
immediate health and safety danger to a
resident or other residents but this must be
clearly documented); 3. Develop a plan of care
for type of restraint, reason for use, and
method of application."

that I am a 'f****** (expletive) idiot'. I felt so mad
and so helpless because I was in a wheelchair.
I felt so small." Resident 211 was tearful and
kept on wiping his eyes during the
conversation. He further stated, "Every time
that he is in the facility, I kept my distance. If

my curtains so he won't see me and I won't see
him."

that is not acceptable and not appropriate to
say to someone, not at all."

states Resident 56 is the most easy going
resident in this building, he is mellow, he is a
gentleman, and he is always trying to the right
thing to fit it.

noted that Resident 56 was uncertain as to
exactly he did wrong. I assured Resident 56
that he had done nothing wrong.
During a review of "Nursing Notes" for May 3,
2018, nothing was documented regarding the
incident.
During a review of "Care Plans" Resident 56 is
care planned for anxiety and depression. The
last review of the care plan was March 3, 2018,
with no changes noted.
During an interview on May 4, 2018, at 9:15
AM with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated Resident 56 is a
very friendly guy, he is easy to get along with,
is very independent in his care. CNA 2
continued to say that he can be outspoken
when he needs to be, if it has something to do
with his care. His one thing is that he does not
like to be woken up in the morning, if he is
sleeping, he wants to be left alone.
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 4, 2018, at 9:53 AM with the
SSD, the SSD stated, Resident 56 does not
have any behavior issues, he is always so easy
going, so when the RNA came and told me
about the incident I thought it was unusual so
that's why I called him in. During a review of
the notes you write "The resident was
counseled on appropriate behavior". The SSD
indicated that she had not investigated the
situation prior to talking to the Resident, that
she had just gone on what the RNA said. She
further stated that looking back at it, the RNA,
was talking a lot, saying things that I could not
make out, she was talking so fast, she was
yelling and was irritated. The SSD confirmed
that she had not reported the incident to
anyone.

review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on
May 4, 2018, at 10:20 AM, the DON stated
"The incident yesterday (May 3, 2018) was not
reported to me." The DON described the

Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN),
stating "There was another incident last night"
(May 4, 2018) between him and a Licensed
Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN). He stated LVN 5
told him he was verbally abusing CNA 4.
Resident 56 stated that he "felt the staff were
targeting him for his complaint to the state
earlier," he appeared nervous and anxious
about what was going to happen to him.
Resident 56 stated "I feel that my previous
complaint to the state had backfired on me."
He stated "It all started when he lost his vape
(electronic cigarette) and he accused CNA 4 of
taking it." Resident 56 further stated LVN 5
approached him and was "verbally chastising
him," he stated that when LVN 5 talked to him,
he was told he was being verbally abusive to
the staff.

which stated "They (the residents) have to

complaining, it could force us to move them
elsewhere." LVN 5 stated that when she talked
to Resident 56 about this, she talked to him in
a nice way as she explained the text to the
resident, but that Resident 56 was defensive,
angry and felt he was being harassed."
During a review of the "Nurses Notes"
indicated, Resident 56 was being monitored as
per the "Corrected Action Plan" for any
negative impact to the psychosocial well-being
of the resident for 72 hours. The notes did not
indicate that another incident took place on
May 4, 2018.
A review of Resident 56's "Short Term Care
Plan" entitled 'Risk of psychological distress
after verbal altercation with staff members" was
initiated on May 5, 2018, two days after the IJ
was called.
A review of the "Investigation Report" for the
allegation of abuse indicates "I, the ADM was
notified late morning by the surveyor of an
allegation of verbal abuse from staff member
(LVN) and resident at approximately 10:20 PM
on May 4, 2018. According to the resident, the
Resident, LVN talked to me about speaking
inappropriately to staff members. She (LVN)
went on to say that if I was not happy here that
the facility could help me find placement
elsewhere. According to the LVN, she was
professional, calm, and non-condescending
when she spoke to the resident. She reiterated
what she told him and said he was fine. I
spoke with the resident in the afternoon on May
5, 2018 and explained to him where the LVN's
counsel came from. But I made it clear to him
that this was his home and we would like it very
much if he would stay and not feel that he
needed to find another place to live. He agreed

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure identification
and reporting of a suspicion of crime to
appropriate agency for three of 27 sampled
residents
(Resident 211, Resident 56, and Resident 2) in
a universe of 92 residents when:
1. The facility failed to report verbal abuse of
the physician to Resident 211.
2. Resident 56 felt staff were retaliating against
him, after he had filed a complaint with the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
3. The family member struck Resident 2
multiple times as witnessed by facility staff.
These failures resulted in physical and mental
abuse of the residents.
Findings:
1. During a recertification survey of the facility,
on April 30, 2018 at 8:00 AM, an observation of
Resident 211 was made. Resident 211 was
awake inside his room and in bed, covered with
a personal blanket. Resident 211's breakfast
tray remained untouched.
During an interview with Resident 211, on April
30, 2018 at 8:05 AM, he stated, "I want you to
have time and sit down because I have been
thinking about this for so many weeks now. I
feel not being safe here and threatened.
Nobody protects me here." Resident 211 stated
that a month ago while in the social services
office, when the doctor called him an "f******

also stated "Doctor [name of the physician] was
standing and I was sitting in a wheelchair when
he pointed his finger in my face and told me
that I am a 'f****** (expletive) idiot'. I felt so mad
and so helpless because I was in a wheelchair.
I felt so small." Resident 211 was tearful and
kept on wiping his eyes during the
conversation. He further stated, "Every time
that he is in the facility, I kept my distance. If
I'm on the floor, I go back to my room and close
my curtains so he won't see me and I won't see
him."
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON), on April 30, 2018 at 2:49 PM, the DON
stated that she was not aware of the incident

that I know, but I don't know."

1), on May 1, 2018 at 6:40 AM she stated "The
incident happened a month ago, when they had
an argument. The documented incident was
given to the Administrator (ADM)."

Assistant (SWA 1), on May 2, 2018 at 11:08
AM, she stated "I witnessed what had
happened, and if someone told me that I am
acting like an idiot, I will feel offended because
that is not acceptable and not appropriate to
say to someone, not at all."
During an interview with the SW 1, on May 2,
2018 at 11:02 AM, she stated "Doctor [name of
the physician] and the Resident [Resident 211]
were bickering each other." The SW also stated
that the ADM must be informed if there is an
incident of abuse and the ADM is the one who
must report to the state [California Department
of Public Health]."

in the room." Resident 56 stated "felt as if he
was being treated like a child who was being
scolded and disrespected."

nice it was that another staff member got a

with my resident. Then the RNA started yelling
at me not to talk to Resident 56 about
personnel issues. She further stated, "The RNA
was acting rude and disrespectful to the both of
us, yelling across the room. She was creating
a scene and a conflict when there was nothing
going on." I was assisting my resident and
listening to Resident 56. The RNA should never
have done that, "she should have handled the
situation better."

resident was not being disruptive. When the
RNA returned to the dining room, she started
up at it again, she was yelling and the pitch of
her voice was rising," of course when then
Resident 56's voice was also getting louder. I

the privacy curtain pulled sitting in the dark.
Resident 56 continues, "I always try to do the
right thing, I don't understand what I did wrong.
I'm never going into the dining rooms again, I
felt so humiliated and felt like I was a child
being scolded. He further went on to say that
he overheard staff members talking saying that
I'm nothing but a trouble maker" after I talked to

still don't know why they did this to me.'

states Resident 56 is the most easy going
resident in this building, he is mellow, he is a
gentleman, and he is always trying to the right
thing to fit it.
A review of the PhD note dated May 3, 2018,
indicted "Provided session in response to an
incident occurring in the large dining room.
Resident had been reprimanded for discussing
personal business with staff members and
being disruptive. He verbalized feeling
humiliated and disrespected as though he were
a child being scolded by his Mom." He further

very friendly guy, he is easy to get along with,
is very independent in his care. CNA 2
continued to say that he can be outspoken
when he needs to be, if it has something to do

Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse (HFEN),
stating "There was another incident last night
(May 4, 2018)" between him and a Licensed
Vocational Nurse 5 (LVN). He stated LVN 5
told him he was verbally abusing CNA 4.
Resident 56 stated that "he felt the staff were
targeting him"for his complaint to the state
earlier, he appeared nervous and anxious
about what was going to happen to him.
Resident 56 stated "I feel that my previous
complaint to the state had backfired on me."
He stated It all started when he lost his vape
(electronic cigarette) and he accused CNA 4 of
taking it. Resident 56 further stated LVN 5
approached him and was "Verbally chastising
him," he stated that when LVN 5 talked to him,
he was told he was being verbally abusive to
the staff.

which stated, "They (the residents) have to
know with state in the building, if they keep
complaining, it could force us to move them
elsewhere." LVN 5 stated that when she talked
to Resident 56 about this, she talked to him in
a nice way as she explained the text to the
resident, but that Resident 56 was "defensive,

During a review of the "Nurses Notes"
indicated, Resident 56 was being monitored as
per the "Corrected Action Plan" for any
negative impact to the psychosocial well-being
of the resident for 72 hours. The notes did not
indicate that another incident took place on
May 4, 2018.
A review of Resident 56's "Short Term Care
Plan" entitled 'Risk of psychological distress
after verbal altercation with staff members" was
initiated on May 5, 2018, two days after the IJ
was called.
A review of the "Investigation Report" for the
allegation of abuse indicates "I, the ADM was
notified late morning by the surveyor of an
allegation of verbal abuse from staff member
(LVN) and resident at approximately 10:20 PM
on May 4, 2018. According to the resident, the
Resident, LVN talked to me about speaking
inappropriately to staff members. She (LVN)
went on to say that if I was not happy here that
the facility could help me find placement
elsewhere. According to the LVN, she was
professional, calm, and non-condescending
when she spoke to the resident. She reiterated
what she told him and said he was fine. I
spoke with the resident in the afternoon on May
5, 2018 and explained to him where the LVN's
counsel came from. But I made it clear to him
that this was his home and we would like it very
much if he would stay and not feel that he
needed to find another place to live. He agreed
to "hang in there" for me and to personally
contact me if any further issues. LVN was
suspended pending investigation."

Resident 56 continues, "I always try to do the
right thing, I don't understand what I did wrong.
I'm never going into the dining rooms again, I
felt so humiliated and felt like I was a child
being scolded. He further went on to say that
he overheard staff members talking saying that
I'm nothing but a trouble maker after I talked to
you (CDPH - RN). Resident 56 did not want to
give anymore names, what else will happen. I
still don't know why they did this to me.'
During an interview on May 3, 2018, 12:20 PM

the PhD stated I'm glad you came to me when
you did, Resident 56 is "very hurt, anxious, and
agitated. He is verbalizing how he felt
disrespected by the staff in the dining room this
morning, and that the staff were yelling at him,
scolding him like a child." The PhD further
stated Resident 56 is the most easy going
resident in this building, he is mellow, he is a
gentleman, and he is always trying to the right
thing to fit it.
A review of the PhD note dated May 3, 2018,
indicted "Provided session in response to an
incident occurring in the large dining room.
Resident had been reprimanded for discussing
personal business with staff members and
being disruptive. He verbalized feeling
humiliated and disrespected as though he were
a child being scolded by his Mom." He further
noted that Resident 56 was uncertain as to
exactly he did wrong. I assured Resident 56
that he had done nothing wrong.
During a review of "Nursing Notes" for May 3,

situation prior to talking to the Resident, that
she had just gone on what the RNA said. She

targeting him for his complaint to the state
earlier", he appeared nervous and anxious
about what was going to happen to him.
Resident 56 stated, "I feel that my previous
complaint to the state had backfired on me."
He stated It all started when he lost his vape
(electronic cigarette) and he accused CNA 4 of
taking it. Resident 56 further stated LVN 5
approached him and was "verbally chastising
him," he stated that when LVN 5 talked to him,
he was told he was being verbally abusive to
the staff."

him of stealing his vape. LVN 5 stated she
reported the incident to the Administrator
(ADM) about the incident. The ADM sent a text
which stated "They (the residents) have to
know with state in the building, if they keep
complaining, it could force us to move them
elsewhere." LVN 5 stated that when she talked
to Resident 56 about this, she talked to him in
a nice way as she explained the text to the
resident, but that Resident 56 was defensive,
angry and felt he was being harassed.

Plan" entitled 'Risk of psychological distress

allegation of verbal abuse from staff member
(LVN) and resident at approximately 10:20 PM
on May 4, 2018. According to the resident, the
Resident, LVN talked to me about speaking
inappropriately to staff members. She (LVN)
went on to say that if I was not happy here that
the facility could help me find placement
elsewhere. According to the LVN, she was
professional, calm, and non-condescending
when she spoke to the resident. She reiterated
what she told him and said he was fine. I
spoke with the resident in the afternoon on May
5, 2018 and explained to him where the LVN's
counsel came from. But I made it clear to him
that this was his home and we would like it very
much if he would stay and not feel that he
needed to find another place to live. He agreed
to "hang in there" for me and to personally
contact me if any further issues. LVN was
suspended pending investigation."

which stated "They (the residents) have to
know with state in the building, if they keep
complaining, it could force us to move them
elsewhere." LVN 5 stated that when she talked
to Resident 56 about this, she talked to him in
a nice way as she explained the text to the
resident, but that Resident 56 was "defensive,
angry and felt he was being harassed."

per the "Corrected Action Plan" for any
negative impact to the psychosocial well-being
of the resident for 72 hours. The notes did not
indicate that another incident took place on

A review of Resident 56's "Short Term Care
Plan" entitled 'Risk of psychological distress
after verbal altercation with staff members" was
initiated on May 5, 2018, two days after the IJ
was called.
A review of the "Investigation Report" for the
allegation of abuse indicates "I, the ADM was
notified late morning by the surveyor of an
allegation of verbal abuse from staff member
(LVN) and resident at approximately 10:20 PM
on May 4, 2018. According to the resident, the
Resident, LVN talked to me about speaking
inappropriately to staff members. She (LVN)
went on to say that if I was not happy here that
the facility could help me find placement
elsewhere. According to the LVN, she was
professional, calm, and non-condescending
when she spoke to the resident. She reiterated
what she told him and said he was fine. I
spoke with the resident in the afternoon on May
5, 2018 and explained to him where the LVN's
counsel came from. But I made it clear to him
that this was his home and we would like it very

I felt so small." Resident 211 was tearful and
kept on wiping his eyes during the

him."

knew she had a history of wandering and she
had issues with her daughter who did not want
to participate in her care. The PA stated after I
spoke with Resident 264, she said "she had not
been wandering, but had been locked out of
the daughter's house" when she was found
wandering and was taken to the hospital. The
PA stated, "After we talked awhile, she stated
that she was happy here and she had no plans
to leave the facility, so I discontinued the one to
one sitter."
During an interview with the Administrator
(ADM) on May 2, 2018, at 11:45 AM, he
indicated Resident 264 left the facility AMA. He
further stated that given the information that he
had on the Resident he did not feel that she
had eloped she had just gone next door. The
ADM defined the difference between leaving
AMA and leaving the facility as an elopement.
The ADM stated, "If a resident is someone who
has capacity and is of sound mind who decides
they would like to leave the facility that they
had the right to leave whenever they wanted
to." The ADM further stated "If someone was
diagnosed with dementia and who is covered
by a legal power of attorney, they should not
have been allowed to go out AMA," that the
staff should not have documented that
Resident 264 left the facility AMA, given what I
now know, we should have documented it as
an elopement and reported it to the California
Department of Public Health.

The facility must ensure that a resident who
needs respiratory care, including tracheostomy
care and tracheal suctioning, is provided such
care, consistent with professional standards of
practice, the comprehensive person-centered
care plan, the residents' goals and preferences,
and 483.65 of this subpart.

These failures had the potential for bacteria
(microorganism that causes diseases) to
harbor in the tubing and cause infection to four
residents.
Findings:

temperature.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, and interview, the
facility failed to follow its policy regarding
keeping pureed (pudding like consistency food)
lettuce from being served above acceptable
temperature range during tray line (Process of
serving food on a resident's plate).
This failure has the potential for 13 residents on
a pureed diet in a universe of 92 to lose
appetite and weight due to food served not in a
safe and appetizing temperature.
Findings:
During an observation on May 1, 2018, at 5:35
PM of tray line serving, the temperature of the
pureed lettuce was 70 degrees Fahrenheit (F)
(unit of measurement) before pouring it on a
resident's plate. As the last resident was
served to their rooms, the pureed lettuce was
retested and it was 70 degrees F.
During a concurrent interview with the DFNS
(Director of Food/Nutrition Services), he stated
that the lettuce should be below 41 degrees F.
During an interview with Resident 270 on May
2, 2018, at 10:00 AM, he stated that he was
served with pureed lettuce for dinner on May 1,
2018. He stated the salad was bad and warm
when served so he did not eat it.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled," Meal Serving Temperature", dated 2017,
indicated under procedure," ...2. Cold food
items shall be held at 41 degrees or below and
served at not greater than temperatures of 4550 degrees F at bedside or dining room to
ensure serving temperatures are palatable."

spoke with Resident 264, she said "she had not
been wandering, but had been locked out of
the daughter's house" when she was found
wandering and was taken to the hospital. After
we talked awhile, she stated that she was
happy here and "she had no plans to leave the
facility, so I discontinued the one to one sitter."
During an interview with the Administrator
(ADM) on May 2, 2018, at 11:45 AM, he
indicated Resident 264 left the facility AMA. He
further stated that given the information that he
had on the Resident he did not feel that she
had eloped she had just gone next door. The
ADM defined the difference between leaving
AMA and leaving the facility as an elopement.
The ADM stated, "If a resident is someone who
has capacity and is of sound mind who decides
they would like to leave the facility that they
had the right to leave whenever they wanted
to." The ADM further stated "If someone was
diagnosed with dementia and who is covered
by a legal power of attorney, they should not
have been allowed to go out AMA," that the
staff should not have documented that
Resident 264 left the facility AMA, given what I
now know, we should have documented it as
an elopement and reported it to the California
Department of Public Health.
During an observation on May 3, 2018, at 8:00,
Resident 264 was in her bed watching TV with
a 1:1 sitter at the bedside.

I'm nothing but a trouble maker after I talked to

the PhD stated "I'm glad you came to me when
you did, Resident 56 is very hurt, anxious, and

disrespected by the staff in the dining room this
morning, and that the staff were yelling at him,
scolding him like a child." The PhD further
states "Resident 56 is the most easy going
resident in this building, he is mellow, he is a
gentleman, and he is always trying to the right
thing to fit it."
A review of the PhD note dated May 3, 2018,
indicted "Provided session in response to an
incident occurring in the large dining room.
Resident had been reprimanded for discussing
personal business with staff members and
being disruptive. He verbalized feeling
humiliated and disrespected as though he were
a child being scolded by his Mom." He further
noted that Resident 56 was uncertain as to
exactly what he did wrong. I assured Resident
56 that he had done nothing wrong.
During a review of "Nursing Notes" for May 3,
2018, nothing was documented regarding the

hospice care. She said we used to have a
separate chart for the hospice, but I don't know
what happened to them.
During an interview on May 4, 2018 at 8:30
AM, with the Medical Records clerk, she
indicated the individual hospice charts are
located in the medical records office. She
indicated that when she was not on site limited
people have access to her office.
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 4, 2018, at 9:12 AM, with the
Director of Nurses (DON), Resident 20's facility
clinical record and the contracted Hospice
clinical record were reviewed. The DON stated
that the purpose of having hospice in the facility
is for the coordination of hospice care and the
services they provide for a resident at the end
of their life.
During a review of both records the DON could
not locate any documents that indicated who
and when staff from the hospice come into the
facility. She states that the hospice is to sign in
whenever they come in to give care. She also
stated that the hospice should be putting notes
in our clinical record, so that we know what is
going on with our Resident. The DON stated
that the hospice is to provide the facility with a
calendar that should show what days of the
week the hospice comes out so that the facility
staff can coordinate care for the resident. The
DON confirmed that she could not locate a
calendar that indicates when and what staff are
coming into the facility. The DON confirmed
she could not locate any communication notes
from the hospice regarding patient care.
During the interview the DON was asked how
often Resident 20 was to been seen by hospice
staff and who came into see him. The DON

information was to be found, and that she
would have to go to the nurse's station to see if
that kind of information is kept there or possibly
it might be located in the chart. The DON
located the Hospice Interdisciplinary
Comprehensive Assessment and Plan of Care
(IDG/POC, document that the hospice provides
that includes the benefit period of the Resident;
the medical diagnosis; the Residents identified
problems list which include medical, spiritual
and teaching needs; medications; and the
scope and frequency of the visits to be made to
the resident by each discipline), she stated she
knew this was one of the hospice documents
but she was unable to describe what the
purpose of the document was and she could
not locate the scope and frequency of visits for
each discipline.
During a concurrent review of the IDG/POC
with the DON, she was shown the scope and
frequency of visits. The IDG/POC indicated that
for the benefit period of March 2, 2018 through
April 30, 2018, indicated that Resident 20 was
to have been seen by a skilled nurse (SN)
twice a week; a certified home health aide
(CHHA) twice a week; a medical social worker
one time per month; and a spiritual advisor two
times a month. The DON reviewed the facility
and hospice clinical record and confirmed that
there was no documented evidence that any of
these visits were made.
A review of the hospice physician notes were
reviewed with the DON. The DON was able to
locate one visit that was made by the doctor on
February 26, 2018 as a monthly visit.

problems list on the IDG/POC. The facility had
identified more issues with the resident than
the hospice agency. The DON was unable to
provide documentation that the hospice
participates with the facility interdisciplinary

The terms and responsibilities of the contract
were discussed from both from the facility and
the hospice agency perspective. The DON
stated that given everything that she has
reviewed today with Resident 20's chart that
there is no indication that there is coordination
of care between the two companies. The DON
stated, "Clearly we don't have any idea when or
if the hospice comes into the facility." The DON
confirmed that it is the responsibility of the
facility to ensure they know what services are
being provided and from what she see's there
is no integration with this hospice in regards to
Resident 20's care. She states in fact it looks
like we provide all the care and they are getting
all the reimbursements.
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 3, 2018, at 10:50 AM, with the
Administrator (ADM), he states that the
facilities role is to provide services and care to
the patients. He states that we render most of
the residents care. The ADM was not able to
provide documentation as to how the facility
knows who provides care to Resident 20 and
how frequently. The ADM states that they come
in whenever the schedule says they should be
here. The ADM was unable to provide any
documentation regarding how he monitors or
coordinates the care between the facility and
hospice. The ADM was unable to say if the
facility staff go to the Hospice IDG/POC

Interdisciplinary Team Meetings. After a review
of the responsibilities of the contract between
[Name of Hospice] and the facility, the ADM
states that they don't seem to be in compliance
with the contract and that seems as if we are
providing all the services to Resident 20.
Based on observation, interview, and record
reviews, the facility administration failed to
maintain the highest practicable physical,
mental, and psychosocial well-being of five of
27 sampled residents (Resident 2, Resident
211, Resident 264, Resident 56, and Resident
20) and failed to prevent, report, and
investigate the following:
1. Facility staff witnessed verbal abuse by the
physician towards Resident 211.
2. Family member struck Resident 2 multiple
times as witnessed by facility staff.
3. Resident 264 was found outside facility
premises, and was hospitalized.
4. Resident 56 felt staff were retaliating against
him, after he had filed a complaint with the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
5. Facility failed to coordinate, monitor, and
evaluate the provision of hospice services for
Resident 20.
These failures resulted in harm and had the
potential for five Residents (Resident 2,

Findings:
1. During a recertification survey of the facility,
on April 30, 2018 at 8:00 AM, an observation of
Resident 211 was made. Resident 211 was
awake inside his room and in bed, covered with
a personal blanket. Resident 211's breakfast
tray remained untouched.
During an interview with Resident 211, on April
30, 2018 at 8:05 AM, he stated, "I want you to
have time and sit down because I have been
thinking about this for so many weeks now. I
feel not being safe here and threatened.
Nobody protects me here." Resident 211 stated
that a month ago while in the social services
office, when the doctor called him an "f******
(expletive) idiot" and was witnessed by the
social workers inside the office. Resident 211
also stated "Doctor [name of the physician] was
standing and I was sitting in a wheelchair when
he pointed his finger in my face and told me
that I am a 'f****** (expletive) idiot'. I felt so mad
and so helpless because I was in a wheelchair.
I felt so small." Resident 211 was tearful and
kept on wiping his eyes during the
conversation. He further stated, "Every time
that he is in the facility, I kept my distance. If
I'm on the floor, I go back to my room and close
my curtains so he won't see me and I won't see
him."
During an interview with the Director of Nursing
(DON), on April 30, 2018 at 2:49 PM, the DON
stated that she was not aware of the incident
and stated, "Maybe the social workers know.
Sometimes they will put my name on the note
that I know, but I don't know."

Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure for one of 27
sampled resident's (Resident 20) hospice
services care was coordinated in accordance
with the Facility and Hospice Company's
contract. This failure had the potential to
jeopardize the health and well-being of
Resident 20 by not providing all the services
that he was entitled to receive.
Findings:
During an observation on April 30, 2018, at
9:00 AM, Resident 20 was sleeping on top of
his bed, he had multiple visual skin lesions to
his face and arms.
A medical record review of Resident 20's
indicates, Resident 20 was admitted to the
facility on August 21, 2014, with diagnoses that
included hospice with a start of care (SOC,
when a patient is first admitted to a hospice
agency) of November 14, 2014, with a terminal
diagnoses of Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS, were there is a severe loss of
the body's immunity, greatly lowering the
resistance to opportunistic infections), and
chronic obstructive respiratory disease (COPD,
a group of lung diseases that block airflow and
make it difficult to breathe).
During an interview on May 3, 2018, at 1:30
PM, with Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS
1), RNS 1 did not know where to locate any
documents as they related to Resident 20's
hospice care. She further stated that she could
not tell who or when anyone comes in, but that
she thinks there might be a sign in book.

separate chart for the hospice, but I don't know
what happened to them.
During an interview on May 4, 2018 at 8:30
AM, with the Medical Records clerk, she
indicated the individual hospice charts are
located in the medical records office. She
indicated that when she was not on site limited
people have access to her office.
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 4, 2018, at 9:12 AM, with the
Director of Nurses (DON), Resident 20's facility
clinical record and the contracted Hospice
clinical record were reviewed. The DON stated
that the purpose of having hospice in the facility
is for the coordination of hospice care and the
services they provide for a resident at the end
of their life.
During a review of both records the DON could
not locate any documents that indicated who
and when staff from the hospice come into the
facility. She states that the hospice is to sign in
whenever they come in to give care. She also
stated that the hospice should be putting notes
in our clinical record, so that we know what is
going on with our Resident. The DON stated
that the hospice is to provide the facility with a
calendar that should show what days of the
week the hospice comes out so that the facility
staff can coordinate care for the resident. The
DON confirmed that she could not locate a
calendar that indicates when and what staff are
coming into the facility. The DON confirmed
she could not locate any communication notes
from the hospice regarding patient care.
During the interview the DON was asked how
often Resident 20 was to been seen by hospice
staff and who came into see him. The DON
stated that she was not sure where that

would have to go to the nurse's station to see if
that kind of information is kept there or possibly
it might be located in the chart. The DON
located the Hospice Interdisciplinary
Comprehensive Assessment and Plan of Care

that includes the benefit period of the Resident;
the medical diagnosis; the Residents identified
problems list which include medical, spiritual
and teaching needs; medications; and the

the resident by each discipline), she stated she
knew this was one of the hospice documents
but she was unable to describe what the
purpose of the document was and she could
not locate the scope and frequency of visits for
each discipline.
During a concurrent review of the IDG/POC
with the DON, she was shown the scope and
frequency of visits. The IDG/POC indicated that
for the benefit period of March 2, 2018 through
April 30, 2018, indicated that Resident 20 was
to have been seen by a skilled nurse (SN)
twice a week; a certified home health aide
(CHHA) twice a week; a medical social worker
one time per month; and a spiritual advisor two
times a month. The DON reviewed the facility
and hospice clinical record and confirmed that
there was no documented evidence that any of
these visits were made.
A review of the hospice physician notes were
reviewed with the DON. The DON was able to
locate one visit that was made by the doctor on
February 26, 2018 as a monthly visit.
During a review of the IDG/POC with the DON,
the DON could not provide any documentation
as to the coordinated plan of care that the
facility and the hospice are supposed to be
working towards the care of Resident 20. The

The terms and responsibilities of the contract
were discussed from both from the facility and
the hospice agency perspective. The DON
stated that given everything that she has
reviewed today with Resident 20's chart that
there is no indication that there is coordination
of care between the two companies. The DON
stated, "Clearly we don't have any idea when or
if the hospice comes into the facility."The DON
confirmed that it is the responsibility of the
facility to ensure they know what services are
being provided and from what she see's there
is no integration with this hospice in regards to
Resident 20's care. She states in fact it looks
like we provide all the care and they are getting
all the reimbursements.
During an interview and concurrent record
review on May 3, 2018, at 10:50 AM, with the
Administrator (ADM), he states that the
facilities role is to provide services and care to
the patients. He states that we render most of
the residents care. The ADM was not able to
provide documentation as to how the facility
knows who provides care to Resident 20 and
how frequently. The ADM states that they come
in whenever the schedule says they should be
here. The ADM was unable to provide any
documentation regarding how he monitors or
coordinates the care between the facility and
hospice. The ADM was unable to say if the
facility staff go to the Hospice IDG/POC
meeting or if the Hospice comes to his facility
Interdisciplinary Team Meetings. After a review
of the responsibilities of the contract between

on April 30, 2018 at 9:16 AM, Resident 212
was sitting in the edge of the bed and just
finished eating his breakfast. The Resident 212
has oxygen at 4 lpm (liters per minute) via
nasal cannula tube. The oxygen tubing has no
label and was not dated.
During an interview with Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 2), on April 30, 2018 at 10:15 AM,
she stated, "If there's no label or not dated,
there will be a chance that Resident [Resident
212] will acquire infection."
During an interview with the Infection Control
Nurse (ICN), on May 2, 2018 at 2:19, she
stated, "It should be labelled or dated, and
must be changed weekly."
A review of facility policy and procedure titled,
"Oxygen Administration and Maintenance,
dated July, 2013, indicated "Oxygen
Administration Sets: 2. Used oxygen
administration sets will be replaced weekly.
Nursing staff will label and/or record dates
when administration sets are placed."
Based on observation, interviews, and record
review, the facility failed to follow their policy
when four resident's (Resident's 168, 167, 35
and 212) nebulizer (drug delivery device used
to administer medication in the form of mist
inhaled into the lungs) and oxygen tubing's
were not labeled and dated.
These failures had the potential for bacteria
(microorganism that causes diseases) to
harbor in the tubing and cause an infection for
four residents.
