Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to ensure a resident
was free from physical abuse, when one of the
three sampled residents (Resident A) was tied
with a bed sheet from his waist down to the
ankle by a staff member with no medical
indication.
This failure resulted in preventing the resident
to move freely which could negatively impact
Resident A's psychosocial, and mental wellbeing.
Findings:
On October 31, 2018, at 9:30 a.m., an
unannounced visit was made to the facility to
investigate a facility reported incident related to
physical abuse.
Resident A's record was reviewed. Resident A
was re-admitted to the facility on July 25, 2018,
with diagnoses which included severe sepsis
(body response to infection) and dementia
(memory loss). Resident A's history and
physical (H&P) indicated, "...does not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions."
The document titled, "RESIDENT CARE
PLAN", dated July 26, 2018, indicated,
"...Exposing self in public area by removing
adult pad/brief...always approach Resident
calmly and Unhurriedly, speak in a clam (sic)
voice...keep comfortable as possible, provide
privacy ...check residents for needs..."
The document titled, "Resident Care Plan
Bowel and Bladder" dated October 19, 2018,
indicated, "...Episodes of pulling/Removing
Adult pad...Interventions...Adult pads when up
in w/c (wheelchair) & Remove when in bed if
needed..."
