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, interview, and review of the facility policy the facility failed to prevent an incident of resident abuse involving Resident #37. This affected one resident (#37) of three residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 42. Findings include: Review of the facility survey history revealed on 01/26/24 an onsite complaint investigation identified a concern related to an incident of physical abuse involving Resident #37. As a result of this abuse incident, Resident #37, who had been hit in the head by a visitor, required staples to his head. Following the incident, the facility implemented an action plan to prevent future reoccurrences of abuse. This plan included a review of all residents with aggressive behaviors with care plans and interventions reviewed with necessary changes made as appropriate. The plan included education to staff to recognize resident triggers and redirecting/de-escalating behaviors and also included environmental observations and audits to ensure foreign objects were not accessible. Review of the medical record for Resident #37 revealed an admission date of 02/28/23 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, anemia, muscle weakness, and dementia with psychotic disturbance. Review of the most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #37 was severely cognitively impaired and independent with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, dressing, and hygiene. Review of the care plan dated 11/28/23 revealed Resident #37 had the potential for mood swings and behavioral issues due to dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Interventions included non-pharmacological interventions such as a one-to-one attention, changing position or scenery, redirection or offering activities, providing a calming environment, and attempting to redirect behaviors. Review of a progress note for Resident #37, dated 01/26/24 at 11:34 P.M. revealed Resident #37 was in an altercation with another resident (Resident #4) who was in his room. There was no documented evidence of an assessment for injury, vital signs, neurological checks, physician notification, and/or responsible party notification following the incident. Review of the medical record for Resident #4 revealed an admission date of 01/23/24 with diagnoses including Alzheimer ' s disease, asthma hypertension and muscle weakness. The comprehensive MDS assessment had not yet been completed as the resident was a new admission.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Review of a progress note for Resident #4, dated 01/27/24 at 12:11 A.M. revealed Resident #4 was involved in an altercation with another resident (Resident #37). The resident was medicated and sent back to his room. Review of witness statements provided by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #202 and State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #203 revealed a physical altercation occurred on 01/26/24 at approximately 8:00 P.M. between Resident #4 and Resident #37. Information contained in the witness statements revealed it appeared the incident started after Resident #4 wandered into Resident #37's room and would not leave. As staff tried to assist Resident #4 from the room, the resident became aggressive and charged at the staff member attempting to hit her multiple times. Resident #37 attempted to intervene at which point Resident #4 struck Resident #37 in the head. During the onsite survey, attempts to reach staff present at the time of the incident were unsuccessful. Based on review of the resident medical records, facility witness statements and corrective actions from the previous onsite investigation, the facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive and have individualized interventions in place to prevent incidents of resident abuse. Interview on 01/31/24 at 11:01 A.M. with the Administrator revealed she was aware of the incident between Resident #4 and Resident #37, she reported there were no resident injuries to either resident as a result of the incident. Review of the policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation of Resident Property, dated October 2020, revealed the facility would investigate all alleged violations involving abuse, staff would immediately report such allegations to the administrator and would not tolerate abuse, neglect, and exploitation of its residents or the misappropriation of resident property. The policy also states the resident should not be moved until assessed by a nurse supervisor for injuries. The resident's physician should be notified. Documentation in the nurses' notes should include the results of the resident's assessment, notification of the physician and the resident representative, and any treatment provided. If serious bodily injury, it should be reported to the Ohio Department of Health immediately, but no later than two hours after the allegation. All other allegations will be reported to the Ohio Department of Health as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time of the incident. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00150544.

There was no evidence a comprehensive investigation including resident interviews, resident assessments, and/or additional staff interviews were completed to determine the root cause of the incident, to identify circumstances leading up to the incident, to ensure residents, including Resident #37 were protected from further abuse and to ensure a thorough investigation was completed.
