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 record review, facility reported incident review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure residents remained free from staff to resident abuse and resident to resident altercations. This affected three residents (#144, #158, and #214) of 13 residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 118. Findings included: Record review revealed Resident #144 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, conversion disorder with seizures, anxiety disorder, sciatica, hypertension, major depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, nightmare disorder, and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. A minimum data set completed on 10/19/23 revealed Resident #144 had intact cognition and exhibited no behaviors. Interview on 10/13/23 at 10:10 A.M. with Resident #144 revealed Activity Director (AD) #257 would come up behind her to give her a hug, kiss the top of her head, and say inappropriate terms of endearment to her, such as you're fine as wine and you're sexy. Resident #144 stated she had given up activities for a brief period to avoid AD #257 until he was no longer employed at the facility. Interview on 10/13/23 at 2:34 P.M. with Resident #158 revealed she had reported AD #257 once he had exhibited inappropriate behaviors towards her, but after a brief suspension he came back and would give her smug looks. Resident #158 stated after his suspension, AD #257 did not exhibit inappropriate behaviors toward her. Interview on 10/13/23 at 2:46 P.M. with Resident #214 revealed she became uncomfortable around AD #257 when he would play with her hair even though she had repeatedly asked him to stop. Review of a facility reported incident (FRI), #239578 completed on 09/25/23, revealed the facility did investigate AD #257 for inappropriate behaviors and he was suspended pending the investigation. The facility investigation included interviewing staff, residents, and AD #257 as well as a skin check and a pain assessment for Resident #144. Among the interview residents included Resident #158 who stated AD #257 had hugged her and called her beautiful before who told AD #257 not to hug her anymore and Resident #214 who stated she was hugged by the AD #257 before but he did not do it again once she asked him not to. Review of personnel file for AD #257 revealed he was hired December 2022 with no evidence of an orientation being completed upon hire, including resident rights and abuse education.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 11/14/23 at 11:05 A.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) revealed an allegation regarding AD #257 had been brought up and investigated but was ultimately unsubstantiated due to lack of evidence. The DON stated AD #257 was allegedly being over friendly and complimentary to Resident #144 who took it as flirting. The DON stated every resident she spoke with stated they did not witness any inappropriate behaviors. The DON stated Resident #144 was best friend with her roommate, Resident #158, so they would have the same story as well as Resident #214 because they were in the same clique. Interview on 11/14/23 at 11:21 A.M. with Administrator revealed orientation information regarding training for abuse and resident rights could not be located for AD #257. A certificate was provided for abuse training for 03/08/23. AD #257 was hired in December 2022. The Administrator stated the allegation against AD #257 was just excessive hugging and kissing on the top of the head as well as calling residents darling or sweetheart. Review of the facility Abuse policy, dated 04/13/22 and updated 05/24/23, revealed residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, and misappropriation. The policy identified the facility will educate its staff upon hire, annually, and as needed which will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following topics: prohibiting and preventing all forms of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property. The facility will educate the staff in identifying abuse (mental/verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and the deprivation of goods and services), neglect, exploitation, mistreatment, chemical restraints, physical restraints, involuntary seclusion, corporal punishment, and misappropriation of resident property. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00147215.
