to the administrator of the facility and to other
officials, including the State Survey Agency, the
allegation of daily verbal abuse by LVN 1

on May 16, 2018.
These failures resulted in the potential for
continued abuse for Resident A and abuse for

daughter was interviewed. Resident A's

because of LVN 1.
Resident A's daughter stated the UM told her
because she alleged "abuse", she (UM) would
have to report it, and that LVN 1 would not be
Resident A's nurse anymore. Resident A's
daughter stated when she visited on May 19,

nurse.
On May 23, 2018, at 11:45 a.m., an

by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review the facility failed to thoroughly
investigate an allegation of abuse and prevent
further potential abuse for one resident,
Resident A, when:

verbal abuse by Licensed Vocational Nurse 1

Resident A's nurse without the the allegation of
abuse thoroughly investigated after Resident
A's daughter communicated to the UM daily
verbal abuse by LVN 1 towards Resident A on
May 16, 2018.
These failures resulted in the potential for
continued abuse for Resident A.
