required substantial assistance with bed mobility, bathing, and personal hygiene.
Review of the progress note dated 11/11/23 at 2:13 A.M. revealed the resident was heard yelling and the
nurse went into his room to find out what was going on. Two aides were in the room trying to change the
pads under the resident but the resident was verbally abusive. The nurse instructed the aides to leave the
room and the resident reported he wet himself because a urinal was placed between his legs with the lid
on. The nurse explained spills do occur while using a urinal in bed and offered to change the resident and
also provide care for him the rest of the night. The resident refused to be changed and called his family to
come and get him. The resident's family arrived at the facility at 1:30 A.M. An AMA form was given to the
family to sign but they refused to sign and wrote complaints on the form. The resident and his family left the
facility at 1:45 A.M. The Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) was notified as well as the on call nurse
manager.

take the lid off, urinated in bed. Insulted with smart comments and was made fun of. Two nights of abuse,
had enough.
