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, review of the facility's related investigation, observation, staff interview, employee file review,
and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from staff to resident sexual abuse and
another resident was free from neglect when the resident was left on a bed pan for fourteen (14) hours.
This affected two residents (#44 and #46) of four residents reviewed for abuse/ neglect.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #44's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included a traumatic brain injury, dementia with behavioral disturbances, pseudobulbar affect,
restlessness and agitation, mood disorder, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting his right dominant side,
contractures of the right upper extremity, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and need for assistance with
personal care.
Review of Resident #44's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 01/08/25 revealed
the resident had adequate hearing and unclear speech. He was rarely/ never able to make himself
understood and was rarely/ never able to understand others. He had highly impaired vision, without the use
of any corrective lenses. Short and long term memory impairment was noted and his cognitive skills for
daily decision making was severely impaired. He was known to display physical behaviors and verbal
behaviors directed at others. He was also known to display other behaviors not directed at others. He had a
functional limitation in his range of motion (ROM) on one side of his upper and lower extremities. He was
dependent on staff for all his activities of daily living (ADL's).
Review of Resident #44's active care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being known to exhibit
behaviors that included physical aggression towards staff (kicking, pinching, grabbing, scratching, biting,
slapping, and punching). He also was known to have inappropriate touching of female staff. The care plan
had been in place since 02/01/23. The goal was for the resident to not harm himself or others during daily
care. The interventions included the need for the staff to approach the resident in a calm manner and offer
a different time of his choice when refusing care; when the resident was physically abusive towards staff,
they were to attempt to redirect the resident, or allow time for resident to calm down and attempt at a later
time; they were to maintain a calm environment and provide a consistent approach with the resident as
able; they were to observe for behaviors that endangered the resident and/or others; staff to carefully
intervene to promote safety; obtain a psychiatric consult/ psychosocial therapy/ psychiatric therapy as
ordered by the physician; staff were to observe for any activity or events that trigger the resident's behavior
and re-direct/ divert his attention to prevent exacerbation; when the resident was exhibiting behaviors, staff
were to keep the resident and others safe.

Review of Resident #44's physician's orders revealed the resident had orders in place to receive Remeron
7.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth every night at bedtime for depression. He also received Vistaril 25 mg by
mouth twice a day for agitation. He was not receiving any other psychoactive medications or any other
medications to reduce any inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Review of Resident #44's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 11/03/24 at 8:00 A.M. that
indicated the resident was noted to grab when the staff provided care and attempted to bite, pinch, and hit
with his left hand. His right hand and arm were noted to be contracted and the resident held it closely to his
body. None of the progress notes documented anything about any known sexually related behaviors.
On 01/27/25 at 1:32 P.M., an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #127 revealed she had not
personally witnessed any sexually inappropriate behavior involving Resident #44, but had heard three
different trainees say the same thing about CNA #114 (who mentored them) that CNA #114 allowed
Resident #44 to fondle her breasts. She identified Aide #148 as one of the aides that trained under CNA
#114 that had knowledge of that and who took it to the Administrator to report it. She stated she
accompanied Aide #148 to the Administrator's office, when the aide reported it. She was not sure if the
Administrator had done anything about it or not. She further identified a second aide (Hospitality Aide #187)
that was also trained by CNA #114 and was told by her trainer that allowing Resident #44 to touch their
breasts was okay. She identified a third aide (CNA #188), as being another aide that had heard CNA #114
say, while in the Unit 2 dining room, she had allowed Resident #44 to touch her breast until he became
erect.
On 01/28/25 at 9:45 A.M., an interview with Aide #148 confirmed she was trained by CNA #114. She
recalled providing care to Resident #44, with CNA #114, when the resident tried touching her (Aide #148's)
breasts. She stated she stepped back and was told by CNA #114 that it would be fine if she allowed the
resident to do that. She (CNA #114) rationalized that sexually inappropriate behavior by saying it was the
only excitement the resident got during the day. She reported she had also heard from another aide CNA
#114 had told them the same thing. She identified that other aide as Hospitality Aide #187. She described
the resident's action as him knowing what he was doing and it was not an accidental touching of her
breasts. She then reported the two of them then went up to the front of the unit by the dining room where
CNA #114 told the staff that were up there that she had allowed Resident #44 touch her until he got hard,
meaning an erection. She reported the incident happened about a week or two ago. She knew at the time it
was inappropriate behavior and knew if her mentor was allowing the resident to do that to her, then the
resident would think he could do that to others. She reported everyone (her coworkers) were saying that
was sexual abuse and she felt the same. She stated the whole incident made her feel uncomfortable,
especially hearing CNA #114 joke about that. She confirmed she reported it to the facility's Administrator
the next day, with CNA #127 accompanying her. She claimed she had told the Administrator what had
happened. CNA #127 added that it was not right that CNA #114 was training new aides and telling them
that was okay. They were concerned that CNA #114 was also training younger aides that were only [AGE]
years old. The Administrator told her he was glad they said something about that and that it was horrible.
He then told them not to talk about it to anyone and he would handle it. She had not seen any evidence that
it had been handled, as CNA #114 had been back to work, and nothing seemed to have changed.
On 01/28/25 at 11:49 A.M., an interview with Hospitality Aide #187 revealed she received her training back
in August 2024. She was trained by CNA #114 and was trained on Unit 2, where Resident #44 resided. She
was familiar with the resident and knew he had behaviors that needed to be redirected. His behaviors
included him trying to touch them with his hands and he went for the chest area. She

recalled the first day she worked with CNA #114 Resident #44 had his hands on CNA #114's breasts. The
resident's left hand was on the CNA's breast and CNA #114 made no attempt to redirect his behavior or
remove his hand. She (CNA #114) made some comment about that (Resident #44 touching her breast)
calming him down for a second and it allowed them to get what they needed done so they could leave. She
denied CNA #114 had ever told her to allow the resident to do that to her. She felt what she witnessed was
inappropriate and felt that it may have been considered sexual abuse. She denied that she reported it to
anyone at the time. She knew it had since been reported by someone else. She denied she was one of the
staff members that were present when CNA #114 allegedly told staff in the dining area of Unit 2 that she
allowed Resident #44 touch her until he got an erection. She knew any concerns about potential abuse
should be reported to the facility's Administrator. She stated the incident she was talking about happened
within the first five minutes of her working at the facility and she did not know who to report that to at the
time and was shocked by what happened.
On 01/28/25 at 3:25 P.M., an interview with CNA #188 revealed Resident #44 was known to have
behaviors. He did not like to be bothered and would scream and yell at them. One side of his extremities
was contracted, but he had the use of his left side. The resident was known to get touchy feely with the
staff. They would tell him it was inappropriate behavior and he would just grin. She did not work with CNA
#114 that often, as the other aide worked days, and she was on afternoons. They both worked Unit 2 where
the resident resided. She had not witnessed any inappropriate interactions between CNA #114 and the
resident, but recalled one time during report, CNA #114 told them what she allowed Resident #44 to do.
CNA #114 rationalized allowing the resident to do that (touching/fondling her breast), as he was not able to
do anything throughout the day, and that was something that made him happy. She described what she
heard as something out of the norm when she heard that. She had never heard anyone talk like that before.
She kind of knew CNA #114 and did not think she would hurt anyone. CNA #188 then stated she kind of
agreed and saw where CNA #114 was coming from, when saying the resident was not able to do anything
and that made him happy. She commented that she would not do that personally. CNA #188 was asked
specifically what CNA #114 had said she allowed Resident #44 to do. She reported the aide commented
about allowing Resident #44 to touch her breasts until he got hard. She was uncertain if allowing a resident
to touch her breast was sexual abuse or not. She stated she knew there was a fine line. She then said it
would never be appropriate to engage in that type of behavior with a resident. The incident where she
heard CNA #114 say what she allowed the resident to do happened about a month ago. She denied that
she personally reported it to anyone.
On 01/28/25 at 4:45 P.M., an interview with the facility's Administrator revealed he was the facility's abuse
coordinator and was the one that investigated and reported allegations of abuse. The staff were taught to
notify their supervisor immediately, at the time of the alleged abuse. It would then need to be reported to
him. They followed the State regulations when it came to investigating and reporting. Any allegation of
physical abuse or something that was dangerous to the resident, they notified the State within two hours.
They had five working days excluding weekends and holidays to complete their investigation and submit
their final report. In the past 30 days, he reported he had a couple resident to resident abuse allegations,
misappropriation of money (which was found in laundry), but no residents who were on the receiving end
that he had been made aware of. He reported there had been an issue that Aide #148 and CNA #127 came
to him about. He was told by Aide #148 that a male resident touched her breast and the aide felt that was
inappropriate. He asked who was with her and was told CNA #114. He claimed it was reported to him that
the male resident brushed against the aide's breast. He informed the aide that was not appropriate and she
needed to redirect the resident with that inappropriate

behavior. He informed Aide #148 that the behavior was not acceptable or condoned in the facility. He
discussed residents with certain behaviors based on their diagnoses that made them act in different ways
and she needed to know how to respond to the behaviors. He denied he had spoken with CNA #114
following that reported incident. He was not real familiar with Resident #44, but advised the staff they
needed to use caution with any resident. The facility's DON was not there on that day, so he told the staff he
would follow up with her (DON) when she came back. He believed the staff members came to him to talk
about that, due to the facility's DON not being there at the time. None of the behaviors they described to
him was done towards Resident #44, as it was done towards the staff member. He talked with the two aides
for about 10-15 minutes with both present at the same time. He denied that he had any other employees sit
in during the meeting as a witness. He left it (the concern) open ended for nursing to follow up with because
it was a resident initiated behavior. He did not feel the resident was abused or neglected, which would have
been reportable. He denied that the two staff members he talked with mentioned anything about any
comments CNA#114 made to them about allowing Resident #44 to touch them or that CNA #114 allowed
him to touch her breasts until he got an erection. He denied that he had instructed the aides not to talk
about that with anyone. He did report he told them he would handle it. He denied he had submitted any self
reporting incidents or completed an investigation pertaining what was reported to him.
On 01/29/25 at 9:15 A.M., a follow up interview with CNA #127 reconfirmed she was present when Aide
#148 talked to the Administrator about what took place with Resident #44. She indicated the meeting with
the Administrator occurred on 01/13/25. She was in the office when Aide #148 reported to the Administrator
what had taken place. She denied Aide #148 only told the Administrator about the resident brushing up
against her (Aide #148's) breasts. They informed him that CNA #114 was saying that she allowed Resident
#44 to touch her breast. She reported the word fondled was used when they told the Administrator about
the comment CNA #114 made about allowing the resident to fondle her until he got a hard on. She denied
the discussion was about the resident brushing against Aide #148's breast. It was about the resident
grabbing and holding CNA #114's breasts. She further confirmed the Administrator told them not to talk
about it with anyone and that he would handle it.
On 01/29/25 at 3:18 P.M., an interview with Aide #325 revealed she had heard Aide #148 say that Resident
#44 had tried touching her breasts, but she did not allow him to. She also heard, when the two (CNA #114
and Aide #48) left the resident's room, CNA #114 was telling Aide #148 that it was okay to allow him to do
that because she (CNA #114) let him. Aide #148 then told her and another aide that CNA #114 allowed the
resident to get an erection. She denied she had witnessed anything personally between CNA #114 and
Resident #44. The only knowledge she had was what Aide #148 had told her. She instructed Aide #148 to
tell CNA #127. It was then communicated to Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #174, who informed them that
they needed to tell the Administrator. She denied she or Aide #148 were asked to write any statements.
She thought that was odd that they did not ask her to do that, as she knew that was typically done with any
investigation. She was told Hospitality Aide #187 had witnessed inappropriate things between CNA #114
and Resident #44 too. She identified another aide (CNA #213), who reportedly witnessed CNA #114 allow
Resident #44 to touch her breasts. She felt that something needed to be done about it and did not feel they
were.
On 01/29/25 at 4:02 P.M., an interview with CNA #213 revealed he worked often with CNA #114 on day
shift and on Unit 2. He was only aware of one incident that involved anything happening between CNA #114
and Resident #44. He recalled they (him and CNA #114) were giving Resident #44 a bed bath. They were
about done when the resident reached out and grabbed CNA #114's breast. He intervened and told the
resident that that was not appropriate behavior. He denied CNA #114 had attempted to redirect the

resident's behavior or to remove his hand. He removed the resident's hand off the other aides breast and
then they rolled the resident towards him. His hand was only on her breast for a few seconds. CNA #114
made a comment that the resident did that all the time. While rolling the resident over towards him, he
noticed the resident was aroused. When asked to explain what he meant by the resident being aroused, he
stated the resident was hard (meaning an erection). He denied there was any indication the other aide
allowed that to occur. It was just her comment that he (Resident #44) did it all the time that he took as her
allowing the resident to do that. He felt she (CNA #114) allowed that behavior from Resident #44, so she
could do care on him, as he could be a difficult resident.
During the complaint survey, attempts to interview Resident #44 were unsuccessful as the resident was not
able to answer questions appropriately due to the resident's cognitive status.
The surveyor was not able to interview CNA #114 during the complaint survey as the employee had called
off work.
Review of the facility's self reporting incidents (SRI's) that had been submitted in the past three months
revealed there had been four SRI's submitted during that time. None of the SRI's submitted involved an
allegation of sexual abuse pertaining to Resident #44 and involving CNA #114.
Review of the facility's abuse policy (not dated) revealed it was the policy of the facility not to tolerate
mistreatment, abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of it's residents by anyone. It was also the policy of the
facility to investigate all allegations, suspicions, and incidents of abuse, neglect, and injuries sustained by
its residents. Facility staff should report all such allegations to the Administrator and the Ohio Department
of Health (ODH) in accordance with the procedures in this policy. While the policy provided general
guidelines, it was not meant to to overrule clinical judgement where such judgement was appropriate. The
definition of abuse was willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with
resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. It did not define sexual abuse. Training of staff was to be
completed upon orientation and periodically thereafter regarding the facility's policy concerning abuse.
Those training sessions were to include how to identify abuse and how staff should report their knowledge
related to the allegations. Response to allegations or suspicions of abuse included the need for staff to
report all incidents immediately to their direct supervisors. All allegations of abuse must be reported
immediately to both the Administrator and to ODH. For purposes of that policy, immediately meant as soon
as possible, but ought not to exceed 24 hours after the incident. Once the Administrator and ODH were
notified, an investigation of the allegation or suspicion would be conducted. The investigation was to be
completed within five working days (excluding weekends or legal holidays).
2. Review of Resident #46's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included Lewy Body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, metabolic encephalopathy, abnormalities of
gait and mobility, and need for assistance with personal care.
Review of Resident #46's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had clear
speech and adequate hearing. He was sometimes able to make himself understood and was sometimes
able to understand others. His vision was highly impaired without the use of any corrective devices. His
cognition was severely impaired and he was known to display behaviors that included hallucinations and
physical behaviors directed at others. He was not indicated to have rejected any care during his
assessment period. He was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, bed mobility, and transfers. He was
coded as always being incontinent of his bowel and bladder and was at risk for pressure ulcers, but did not
have any pressure ulcers at the time of the assessment.

Review of Resident #46's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for being
incontinent of his bladder. Interventions included the need to check and provide incontinence care as
needed. They were to provide physical support/ assist for toileting safety as indicated for the resident.
Further review of Resident #46's care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being at risk for skin
breakdown related to impaired mobility, impaired cognition, and bladder and bowel incontinence. The goal
was for the resident to not develop any skin breakdown. The interventions included assisting the resident as
needed with turning and positioning frequently when in bed; observe resident for any incontinence episodes
and provide incontinence care as needed; and apply protective barrier after each incontinent episode.
Review of Resident #46's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 12/28/24 at 4:07 A.M. that
revealed staff reported excoriation to the resident's buttocks. The physician was notified and a treatment
was initiated for cleansing the area with normal saline and apply Triad cream to the resident's buttocks.
A nurse's progress note dated 12/30/24 at 11:36 A.M. revealed an initial review was completed for a wound
the resident had to his left buttocks. Treatment had been initiated as per the 12/28/24 note, but also
specified it was to be completed twice a day and as needed (prn) and it was to be left open to air.
Review of Resident #46's physician's orders revealed a treatment was put in place for an area to the left
buttock beginning on 12/30/24. The treatment initiated was the same treatment indicated in the nurse's note
dated 12/30/24. A physician's order was given on 12/31/24 for treatment to an area on the resident's right
buttock. The treatment initiated was the same treatment that had been in place for the left buttock.
Review of Resident #46's wound observation reports under the electronic medical record (EMR) revealed a
wound observation dated 12/30/24 that indicated the resident was observed to have a Stage I pressure
ulcer (intact skin with localized area of non-blanchable redness) to the right buttock. The date the wound
was identified was on 12/30/24. It measured 12 centimeters (cm) x 6 cm at date of onset. There was no
wound observation report for any wound observations for an area on the resident's left buttock.
Subsequent wound observations for Resident #46's Stage I pressure ulcer to the right buttock revealed the
wound further deteriorated to a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis)
on 01/06/25 and remained as a Stage II pressure ulcer when it was last assessed on 01/27/25. Upon it's
last assessment, the Stage II pressure ulcer to the right buttock measured 0.8 cm x 0.2 cm x 0.1 cm. The
wound was closed- resurfaced and had no exudate (drainage).
On 01/27/25 at 1:32 P.M., an interview with CNA #127 revealed Resident #46 was known to have a sore on
his buttocks from being left on a bed pan. She was not there at the time, but was told the resident was left
on the bedpan for about 14 hours. There was an actual ring on his buttocks caused by the bedpan. She
could not recall exactly when that occurred, but stated the resident was placed on the bedpan during the
afternoon shift and was not taken off until sometime during the night shift. The resident still had an imprint
of the bedpan on his legs and buttocks and currently had an open area that was closing up.

On 01/27/25 at 1:46 P.M., an interview with CNA #223 revealed the incident with Resident #46 being left on
the bedpan happened when she was on vacation. When she returned to work, the areas to his buttocks
were there. She had heard the skin issue was the result of the resident being left on a bedpan. She stated
you could tell the area was caused by a bedpan based on the marks it left on his skin. He currently had
areas on both his buttocks. She did not feel the resident being left on the bedpan was intentional, but
should not have happened.
On 01/27/25 at 1:57 P.M., an interview with LPN #174 revealed Resident #46 did have skin issues, but she
was not sure if they were being classified as pressure ulcers or not. She confirmed the areas were on his
buttocks. She was asked how he got those areas and replied the resident was left on a bedpan for an
extended period of time. She reported he was placed on a bedpan during the afternoon shift and remained
on it into the night shift. She was not certain when that took place, but felt it was likely the end of December
2024. She saw the areas after it was first noted. He had an impression of a bedpan on his buttocks and
upper, posterior legs. She denied it was open at it's onset, but did eventually open up. She reported the
facility did investigate the concern. She was not sure what staff were involved in the incident. They
continued to monitor the resident's buttocks and the area was looking better. The left buttock was also
indicated to have been healed. She did not feel leaving the resident on the bedpan was intentional. She had
heard he was on the bedpan up until around 4:00 A.M. She could not explain why the resident would not
have been found on the bedpan earlier than he was. She confirmed the resident should have been checked
and changed every two hours. She recalled being there when the day shift aides informed the afternoon
shift aides at shift change (2:00 P.M.) that the resident was on the bedpan and would need assistance
getting off. She would have assumed rounds did not get done on the afternoon shift or during the first part
of the night shift, as he was not found on the bedpan until 4:00 A.M. that following morning.
Review of the facility's self reporting incidents (SRI's) revealed there was no SRI that had been submitted to
the State survey agency (ODH) that pertained to any allegations of neglect. They had two SRI's that were
pending next onsite review. One pertained to an allegation of physical and verbal/ emotional abuse and the
other pertained to sexual abuse involving one resident inappropriately touching another resident. There
were two others that had been provided by the facility involving a misappropriation or property and a
resident to resident altercation that had been closed with no action necessary. None of the SRI's pertained
to an allegation of neglect for Resident #46.
During the survey, the facility's corporate support staff (Corporate Nurse #225 and Corporate Nurse #300)
was asked to provide any investigation the facility had done on behalf of Resident #46 and the issue where
he had reportedly been left on a bedpan for an extended amount of time. The facility's Director of Nursing
(DON) had previously provided a file with an investigation pertaining to Resident #46's development of his
pressure ulcer that was the result of him being left on the bedpan for an extended amount of time. It did not
address the potential neglect of the resident for being left on a bedpan for an extended period of time,
which resulted in the development of a pressure ulcer. When asked if they submitted a SRI for neglect of
Resident #46, they provided a second file they had that addressed the neglect of the resident. The DON
confirmed a SRI had not been completed for an allegation of neglect, but provided the second file as
evidence that the concern had been investigated.
Review of the facility's investigation file pertaining to Resident #46 and him being left on the bedpan
revealed it included an established timeline of the events, statements obtained from four staff directly
involved in the incident, a body assessment that had been performed on Resident #46, evidence of a whole
house skin sweep of all residents, education provided to staff, and audits that had

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of the timeline that was included as part of the facility's investigation revealed Resident #46 was
noted to have a skin assessment completed on 12/28/24 by two separate nurses beginning at 4:00 A.M.
On-call physician's service was contacted and treatment was initiated for a reported skin area.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of Resident #46's skin assessment that was completed on 12/30/24 revealed the assessment was
documented using a body diagram form. It documented wounds the resident was noted to have after being
left on the bedpan for an extended period of time. The body diagram described the areas where red lines
were noted. The resident was noted to have a red outline from the bedpan that started at the lower back,
upper buttock area midway over the left buttock. It was a slightly diagonal line that was shaped like a
backwards L with the base of the L slightly higher than the start of it ending about 3/4 of the way above the
right buttock/ flank area. The base of the L then extended down to the upper part of the right buttock. A
curved line shaped like a backwards C then extended from the end of the base of the L down the resident's
right outer buttock ending below his gluteal fold near the inner, upper, posterior leg. The diagram indicated
the red outline was blanchable.
Review of a written statement by Hospitality Aide #187 dated 12/30/24 revealed she came in to work (on
12/27/24) at 5:00 P.M. She indicated she was aware Resident #46 was dependent on staff and claimed she
had informed the other aide (Aide #335) whom she was working with of the same. She was also aware he
(Resident#46) needed to be checked and changed. She took responsibility for not checking him (Resident
#46). She was watching another resident, but stated that was no reason.
Review of a written statement by Registered Nurse (RN) #117 dated 12/30/24 revealed she had given
Resident #46 his medications the evening of 12/27/24. She stated the resident did not appear to be on a
bedpan at that time. A staff member (Hospitality Aide #187) summoned her back to the resident's room
approximately at 4:00 A.M. on 12/28/24 to look at the resident. Upon entering the resident's room, Aide
#335 was assisting the resident with care and a bedpan was noted on the floor. A body assessment was
completed with a dark purple outline from the bedpan being noted to the resident's right buttocks. The aides
informed the nurse that previous rounds were not completed on the resident due to him sleeping. The nurse
immediately disciplined the two aides on duty for the incident and not providing care to the resident the
majority of their shift.
Review of a written statement by Aide #335 dated 12/31/24 revealed when they got around to their check
and changes it was extremely late, due to behaviors. When the other aide had helped her in Resident #46's
room, they discovered he had been put on a bedpan. They notified the nurse when they found him and she
came back to assess him. He had a ring around his bottom from the amount of time he had been left on the
bedpan.
Review of a written statement by CNA #171 dated 12/31/24 revealed she worked day shift (12/27/24) on
Unit 2 before working on the memory care unit on the 2:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. shift. She indicated one of the
girls (aides) was walking down the hall giving CNA #131 report and told her Resident #46 was on the
bedpan. The day shift girls stated they told them he was on the bedpan, but she could not remember. When
report was over, she started to give showers and taking residents in the dining room to the restroom.
Hospitality Aide #187 stated she would do Resident #46's bed bath, since she did the others. Hospitality
Aide #187 also fed the resident dinner. She (CNA #171) took all the residents in the dining room to the
bathroom (after dinner) and changed them, but she did not go down the hall that evening except to pick up
trays.

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of the facility's related investigation, observation, staff interview, review of employee
files, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure allegations of staff to resident sexual abuse and resident
neglect were reported to the State survey agency as required. This affected two residents (#44 and #46) of
four residents reviewed for abuse/ neglect.
Findings include:
1. Review of Resident #44's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included a traumatic brain injury, dementia with behavioral disturbances, pseudobulbar affect,
restlessness and agitation, mood disorder, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting his right dominant side,
contractures of the right upper extremity, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and need for assistance with
personal care.
Review of Resident #44's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 01/08/25 revealed
the resident had adequate hearing and unclear speech. He was rarely/ never able to make himself
understood and was rarely/ never able to understand others. He had highly impaired vision, without the use
of any corrective lenses. Short and long term memory impairment was noted and his cognitive skills for
daily decision making was severely impaired. He was known to display physical behaviors and verbal
behaviors directed at others. He was also known to display other behaviors not directed at others. He had a
functional limitation in his range of motion (ROM) on one side of his upper and lower extremities. He was
dependent on staff for all his activities of daily living (ADL's).
Review of Resident #44's active care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being known to exhibit
behaviors that included physical aggression towards staff (kicking, pinching, grabbing, scratching, biting,
slapping, and punching). He also was known to have inappropriate touching of female staff. The care plan
had been in place since 02/01/23. The goal was for the resident to not harm himself or others during daily
care. The interventions included the need for the staff to approach the resident in a calm manner and offer
a different time of his choice when refusing care; when the resident was physically abusive towards staff,
they were to attempt to redirect the resident, or allow time for resident to calm down and attempt at a later
time; they were to maintain a calm environment and provide a consistent approach with the resident as
able; they were to observe for behaviors that endangered the resident and/or others; staff to carefully
intervene to promote safety; obtain a psychiatric consult/ psychosocial therapy/ psychiatric therapy as
ordered by the physician; staff were to observe for any activity or events that trigger the resident's behavior
and re-direct/ divert his attention to prevent exacerbation; when the resident was exhibiting behaviors, staff
were to keep the resident and others safe.
Review of Resident #44's physician's orders revealed the resident had orders in place to receive Remeron
7.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth every night at bedtime for depression. He also received Vistaril 25 mg by
mouth twice a day for agitation. He was not receiving any other psychoactive medications or any other
medications to reduce any inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Review of Resident #44's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 11/03/24 at 8:00 A.M. that
indicated the resident was noted to grab when the staff provided care and attempted to bite, pinch, and hit
with his left hand. His right hand and arm were noted to be contracted and the

resident held it closely to his body. None of the progress notes documented anything about any known
sexually related behaviors.
On 01/27/25 at 1:32 P.M., an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #127 revealed she had not
personally witnessed any sexually inappropriate behavior involving Resident #44, but had heard three
different trainees say the same thing about CNA #114 (who mentored them) that CNA #114 allowed
Resident #44 to fondle her breasts. She identified Aide #148 as one of the aides that trained under CNA
#114 that had knowledge of that and who took it to the Administrator to report it. She stated she
accompanied Aide #148 to the Administrator's office, when the aide reported it. She was not sure if the
Administrator had done anything about it or not. She further identified a second aide (Hospitality Aide #187)
that was also trained by CNA #114 and was told by her trainer that allowing Resident #44 to touch their
breasts was okay. She identified a third aide (CNA #188), as being another aide that had heard CNA #114
say, while in the Unit 2 dining room, she had allowed Resident #44 to touch her breast until he became
erect.
On 01/28/25 at 9:45 A.M., an interview with Aide #148 confirmed she was trained by CNA #114. She
recalled providing care to Resident #44, with CNA #114, when the resident tried touching her (Aide #148's)
breasts. She stated she stepped back and was told by CNA #114 that it would be fine if she allowed the
resident to do that. She (CNA #114) rationalized that sexually inappropriate behavior by saying it was the
only excitement the resident got during the day. She reported she had also heard from another aide CNA
#114 had told them the same thing. She identified that other aide as Hospitality Aide #187. She described
the resident's action as him knowing what he was doing and it was not an accidental touching of her
breasts. She then reported the two of them then went up to the front of the unit by the dining room where
CNA #114 told the staff that were up there that she had allowed Resident #44 touch her until he got hard,
meaning an erection. She reported the incident happened about a week or two ago. She knew at the time it
was inappropriate behavior and knew if her mentor was allowing the resident to do that to her, then the
resident would think he could do that to others. She reported everyone (her coworkers) were saying that
was sexual abuse and she felt the same. She stated the whole incident made her feel uncomfortable,
especially hearing CNA #114 joke about that. She confirmed she reported it to the facility's Administrator
the next day, with CNA #127 accompanying her. She claimed she had told the Administrator what had
happened. CNA #127 added that it was not right that CNA #114 was training new aides and telling them
that was okay. They were concerned that CNA #114 was also training younger aides that were only [AGE]
years old. The Administrator told her he was glad they said something about that and that it was horrible.
He then told them not to talk about it to anyone and he would handle it. She had not seen any evidence that
it had been handled, as CNA #114 had been back to work, and nothing seemed to have changed.
On 01/28/25 at 11:49 A.M., an interview with Hospitality Aide #187 revealed she received her training back
in August 2024. She was trained by CNA #114 and was trained on Unit 2, where Resident #44 resided. She
was familiar with the resident and knew he had behaviors that needed to be redirected. His behaviors
included him trying to touch them with his hands and he went for the chest area. She recalled the first day
she worked with CNA #114 Resident #44 had his hands on CNA #114's breasts. The resident's left hand
was on the CNA's breast and CNA #114 made no attempt to redirect his behavior or remove his hand. She
(CNA #114) made some comment about that calming him down for a second and it allowed them to get
what they needed done so they could leave. She denied CNA #114 had ever told her to allow the resident
to do that to her. She felt what she witnessed was inappropriate and felt that it may have been considered
sexual abuse. She denied that she reported it to anyone at the time. She knew it had since been reported
by someone else. She denied she was one of the staff members that were present when CNA #114
allegedly told staff in the

dining area of Unit 2 that she allowed Resident #44 touch her until he got an erection. She knew any
concerns about potential abuse should be reported to the facility's Administrator. She stated the incident
she was talking about happened within the first five minutes of her working at the facility and she did not
know who to report that to at the time and was shocked by what happened.
On 01/28/25 at 3:25 P.M., an interview with CNA #188 revealed Resident #44 was known to have
behaviors. He did not like to be bothered and would scream and yell at them. One side of his extremities
was contracted, but he had the use of his left side. The resident was known to get touchy feely with the
staff. They would tell him it was inappropriate behavior and he would just grin. She did not work with CNA
#114 that often, as the other aide worked days, and she was on afternoons. They both worked Unit 2 where
the resident resided. She had not witnessed any inappropriate interactions between CNA #114 and the
resident, but recalled one time during report, CNA #114 told them what she allowed Resident #44 to do.
CNA #114 rationalized allowing the resident to do that, as he was not able to do anything throughout the
day, and that was something that made him happy. She described what she heard as something out of the
norm when she heard that. She had never heard anyone talk like that before. She kind of knew CNA #114
and did not think she would hurt anyone. She then stated she kind of agreed and seen where CNA #114
was coming from, when saying the resident was not able to do anything and that made him happy. She
commented that she would not do that personally. She was asked specifically what CNA #114 had said she
allowed Resident #44 to do. She reported the aide commented about allowing Resident #44 to touch her
breasts until he got hard. CNA #188 was uncertain if allowing a resident to touch her breast was sexual
abuse or not. She stated she knew there was a fine line. She then said it would never be appropriate to
engage in that type of behavior with a resident. The incident where she heard CNA #114 say what she
allowed the resident to do happened about a month ago. She denied that she personally reported it to
anyone.
On 01/28/25 at 4:45 P.M., an interview with the facility's Administrator revealed he was the facility's abuse
coordinator and was the one that investigated and reported allegations of abuse. The staff were taught to
notify their supervisor immediately, at the time of the alleged abuse. It would then need to be reported to
him. They followed the State regulations when it came to investigating and reporting. Any allegation of
physical abuse or something that was dangerous to the resident, they notified the State within two hours.
They had five working days excluding weekends and holidays to complete their investigation and submit
their final report. In the past 30 days, he reported he had a couple resident to resident abuse allegations,
misappropriation of money (which was found in laundry), but no residents who were on the receiving end
that he had been made aware of. He reported there had been an issue that Aide #148 and CNA #127 came
to him about. He was told by Aide #148 that a male resident touched her breast and the aide felt that was
inappropriate. He asked who was with her and was told CNA #114. He claimed it was reported to him that
the male resident brushed against the aide's breast. He informed the aide that was not appropriate and she
needed to redirect the resident with that inappropriate behavior. He informed Aide #148 that the behavior
was not acceptable or condoned in the facility. He discussed residents with certain behaviors based on their
diagnoses that made them act in different ways and she needed to know how to respond to the behaviors.
He denied he had spoken with CNA #114 following that reported incident. He was not real familiar with
Resident #44, but advised the staff they needed to use caution with any resident. The facility's DON was
not there on that day, so he told the staff he would follow up with her (DON) when she came back. He
believed the staff members came to him to talk about that, due to the facility's DON not being there at the
time. None of the behaviors they described to him was done towards Resident #44, as it was done towards
the staff member. He talked with the two aides

for about 10-15 minutes with both present at the same time. He denied that he had any other employees sit
in during the meeting as a witness. He left it (the concern) open ended for nursing to follow up with because
it was a resident initiated behavior. He did not feel the resident was abused or neglected, which would have
been reportable. He denied that the two staff members he talked with mentioned anything about any
comments CNA#114 made to them about allowing Resident #44 to touch them or that CNA #114 allowed
him to touch her breasts until he got an erection. He denied that he had instructed the aides not to talk
about that with anyone. He did report he told them he would handle it. He denied he had submitted any self
reporting incidents or completed an investigation pertaining what was reported to him.
On 01/29/25 at 9:15 A.M., a follow up interview with CNA #127 reconfirmed she was present when Aide
#148 talked to the Administrator about what took place with Resident #44. She indicated the meeting with
the Administrator occurred on 01/13/25. She was in the office when Aide #148 reported to the Administrator
what had taken place. She denied Aide #148 only told the Administrator about the resident brushing up
against her (Aide #148's) breasts. They informed him that CNA #114 was saying that she allowed Resident
#44 to touch her breast. She reported the word fondled was used when they told the Administrator about
the comment CNA #114 made about allowing the resident to fondle her until he got a hard on. She denied
the discussion was about the resident brushing against Aide #148's breast. It was about the resident
grabbing and holding CNA #114's breasts. She further confirmed the Administrator told them not to talk
about it with anyone and that he would handle it.
On 01/29/25 at 3:18 P.M., an interview with Aide #325 revealed she had heard Aide #148 say that Resident
#44 had tried touching her breasts, but she did not allow him to. She also heard, when the two (CNA #114
and Aide #48) left the resident's room, CNA #114 was telling Aide #148 that it was okay to allow him to do
that because she (CNA #114) let him. Aide #148 then told her and another aide that CNA #114 allowed the
resident to get an erection. She denied she had witnessed anything personally between CNA #114 and
Resident #44. The only knowledge she had was what Aide #148 had told her. She instructed Aide #148 to
tell CNA #127. It was then communicated to LPN #174, who informed them that they needed to tell the
Administrator. She denied she or Aide #148 were asked to write any statements. She thought that was odd
that they did not ask her to do that, as she knew that was typically done with any investigation. She was told
Hospitality Aide #187 had witnessed inappropriate things between CNA #114 and Resident #44 too. She
identified another aide (CNA #213), who reportedly witnessed CNA #114 allow Resident #44 to touch her
breasts. She felt that something needed to be done about it and did not feel they were.
On 01/29/25 at 4:02 P.M., an interview with CNA #213 revealed he worked often with CNA #114 on day
shift and on Unit 2. He was only aware of one incident that involved anything happening between CNA #114
and Resident #44. He recalled they (him and CNA #114) were giving Resident #44 a bed bath. They were
about done when the resident reached out and grabbed CNA #114's breast. He intervened and told the
resident that that was not appropriate behavior. He denied CNA #114 had attempted to redirect the
resident's behavior or to remove his hand. He removed the resident's hand off the other aides breast and
then they rolled the resident towards him. His hand was only on her breast for a few seconds. CNA #114
made a comment that the resident did that all the time. While rolling the resident over towards him, he
noticed the resident was aroused. When asked to explain what he meant by the resident being aroused, he
stated the resident was hard (meaning an erection). He denied there was any indication the other aide
allowed that to occur. It was just her comment that he (Resident #44) did it all the time that he took as her
allowing the resident to do that. He felt she (CNA #114) allowed that behavior from Resident #44, so she
could do care on him, as he could be a difficult resident.

Review of the facility's self reporting incidents (SRI's) that had been submitted in the past three months
revealed there had been four SRI's submitted during that time. None of the SRI's submitted involved an
allegation of sexual abuse pertaining to Resident #44 and involving CNA #114.
Review of the facility's abuse policy (not dated) revealed it was the policy of the facility not to tolerate
mistreatment, abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of it's residents by anyone. It was also the policy of the
facility to investigate all allegations, suspicions, and incidents of abuse, neglect, and injuries sustained by
its residents. Facility staff should report all such allegations to the Administrator and the Ohio Department
of Health (ODH) in accordance with the procedures in this policy. While the policy provided general
guidelines, it was not meant to to overrule clinical judgement where such judgement was appropriate. The
definition of abuse was willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with
resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. It did not define sexual abuse. Training of staff was to be
completed upon orientation and periodically thereafter regarding the facility's policy concerning abuse.
Those training sessions were to include how to identify abuse and how staff should report their knowledge
related to the allegations. Response to allegations or suspicions of abuse included the need for staff to
report all incidents immediately to their direct supervisors. All allegations of abuse must be reported
immediately to both the Administrator and to ODH. For purposes of that policy, immediately meant as soon
as possible, but ought not to exceed 24 hours after the incident. Once the Administrator and ODH were
notified, an investigation of the allegation or suspicion would be conducted. The investigation was to be
completed within five working days (excluding weekends or legal holidays).
2. Review of Resident #46's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His
diagnoses included Lewy Body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, metabolic encephalopathy, abnormalities of
gait and mobility, and need for assistance with personal care.
Review of Resident #46's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had clear
speech and adequate hearing. He was sometimes able to make himself understood and was sometimes
able to understand others. His vision was highly impaired without the use of any corrective devices. His
cognition was severely impaired and he was known to display behaviors that included hallucinations and
physical behaviors directed at others. He was not indicated to have rejected any care during his
assessment period. He was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, bed mobility, and transfers. He was
coded as always being incontinent of his bowel and bladder and was at risk for pressure ulcers, but not
have any pressure ulcers at the time of the assessment.
Review of Resident #46's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for being
incontinent of his bladder. Interventions included the need to check and provide incontinence care as
needed. They were to provide physical support/ assist for toileting safety as indicated for the resident.
Further review of Resident #46's care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being at risk for skin
breakdown related to impaired mobility, impaired cognition, and bladder and bowel incontinence. The goal
was for the resident to not develop any skin breakdown. The interventions included assisting the resident as
needed with turning and positioning frequently when in bed; observe resident for any incontinence episodes
and provide incontinence care as needed; and apply protective barrier after each incontinent episode.
Review of Resident #46's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's noted dated 12/28/24 at 4:07 A.M. that

and a treatment was initiated for cleansing the area with normal saline and apply Triad cream to the
resident's buttocks.
A nurse's progress note dated 12/30/24 at 11:36 A.M. revealed an initial review was completed for a wound
the resident had to his left buttocks. Treatment had been initiated as per the 12/28/24 note, but also
specified it was to be completed twice a day and prn and it was to be left open to air.
Review of Resident #46's physician's orders revealed a treatment was put in place for an area to the left
buttock beginning on 12/30/24. The treatment initiated was the same treatment indicated in the nurse's note
dated 12/30/24. A physician's order was given on 12/31/24 for treatment to an area on the resident's right
buttock. The treatment initiated was the same treatment that had been in place for the left buttock.
Review of Resident #46's wound observation reports under the electronic medical record (EMR) revealed a
wound observation dated 12/30/24 that indicated the resident was observed to have a Stage I pressure
ulcer (intact skin with localized area of non-blanchable redness) to the right buttock. The date the wound
was identified was on 12/30/24. It measured 12 centimeters (cm) x 6 cm at date of onset. There was no
wound observation report for any wound observations for an area on the resident's left buttock.
Subsequent wound observations for Resident #46's Stage I pressure ulcer to the right buttock revealed the
wound further deteriorated to a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis)
on 01/06/25 and remained as a Stage II pressure ulcer when it was last assessed on 01/27/25. Upon it's
last assessment, the Stage II pressure ulcer to the right buttock measured 0.8 cm x 0.2 cm x 0.1 cm. The
wound was closed- resurfaced and had not exudate (drainage).
On 01/27/25 at 1:32 P.M., an interview with CNA #127 revealed Resident #46 was known to have a sore on
his buttocks from being left on a bed pan. She was not there at the time, but was told the resident was left
on the bedpan for about 14 hours. There was an actual ring on his buttocks caused by the bedpan. She
could not recall exactly when that occurred, but stated the resident was placed on the bedpan during the
afternoon shift and was not taken off until sometime during the night shift. The resident still had an imprint
of the bedpan on his legs and buttocks and currently had an open area that was closing up.
On 01/27/25 at 1:46 P.M., an interview with CNA #223 revealed the incident with Resident #46 being left on
the bedpan happened when she was on vacation. When she returned to work, the areas to his buttocks
were there. She had heard the skin issue was the result of the resident being left on a bedpan. She stated
you could tell the area was caused by a bedpan based on the marks it left on his skin. He currently had
areas on both his buttocks. She did not feel the resident being left on the bedpan was intentional, but
should not have happened.
On 01/27/25 at 1:57 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #174 revealed Resident #46
did have skin issues, but she was not sure if they were being classified as pressure ulcers or not. She
confirmed the areas were on his buttocks. She was asked how he got those areas and replied the resident
was left on a bedpan for an extended period of time. She reported he was placed on a bedpan during the
afternoon shift and remained on it into the night shift. She was not certain when that took place, but felt it
was likely the end of December 2024. She seen the areas after it was first noted. He had an impression of a
bedpan on his buttocks and upper, posterior legs. She denied it was open at it's onset, but did eventually
open up. She reported the facility did investigate the

concern. She was not sure what staff were involved in the incident. They continued to monitor the resident's
buttocks and the area was looking better. The left buttock was also indicated to have been healed. She did
not feel leaving the resident on the bedpan was intentional. She had heard he was on the bedpan up until
around 4:00 A.M. She could not explain why the resident would not have been found on the bedpan earlier
than he was. She confirmed the resident should have been checked and changed every two hours. She
recalled being there when the day shift aides informed the afternoon shift aides at shift change (2:00 P.M.)
that the resident was on the bedpan and would need assistance getting off. She would have assumed
rounds did not get done on the afternoon shift or during the first part of the night shift, as he was not found
on the bedpan until 4:00 A.M. that following morning.
Review of the facility's self reporting incidents (SRI's) revealed there was no SRI that had been submitted to
the State survey agency (ODH) that pertained to any allegations of neglect. They had two SRI's that were
pending next onsite review. One pertained to an allegation of physical and verbal/ emotional abuse and the
other pertained to sexual abuse involving one resident inappropriately touching another resident. There
were two others that had been provided by the facility involving a misappropriation or property and a
resident to resident altercation that had been closed with no action necessary. None of the SRI's pertained
to an allegation of neglect for Resident #46.
During the survey, the facility's corporate support staff (Corporate Nurse #225 and Corporate Nurse #300)
was asked to provide any investigation the facility had done on behalf of Resident #46 and the issue where
he had reportedly been left on a bedpan for an extended amount of time. The facility's Director of Nursing
(DON) had previously provided a file with an investigation pertaining to Resident #46's development of his
pressure ulcer that was the result of him being left on the bedpan for an extended amount of time. It did not
address the potential neglect of the resident for being left on a bedpan for an extended period of time,
which resulted in the development of a pressure ulcer. When asked if they submitted an SRI for neglect of
Resident #46, they provided a second file they had that addressed the neglect of the resident. The DON
confirmed a SRI had not been completed for an allegation of neglect, but provided the second file as
evidence that the concern had been investigated.
Review of the facility's investigation file pertaining to Resident #46 and him being left on the bedpan
revealed it included an established timeline of the events, statements obtained from four staff directly
involved in the incident, a body assessment that had been performed on Resident #46, evidence of a whole
house skin sweep of all residents, education provided to staff, and audits that had been completed by the
facility since the incident occurred.
Review of the timeline that was included as part of the facility's investigation revealed Resident #46 was
noted to have a skin assessment completed on 12/28/24 by two separate nurses beginning at 4:00 A.M.
On-call physician's service was contacted and treatment was initiated for a reported skin area.
Review of Resident #46's skin assessment that was completed on 12/30/24 revealed the assessment was
documented using a body diagram form. It documented wounds the resident was noted to have after being
left on the bedpan for an extended period of time. The body diagram described the areas where red lines
were noted. The resident was noted to have a red outline from the bedpan that started at the lower back,
upper buttock area midway over the left buttock. It was a slightly diagonal line that was shaped like a
backwards L with the base of the L slightly higher than the start of it ending about 3/4 of the way above the
right buttock/ flank area. The base of the L then extended down to the upper part of the right buttock. A
curved line shaped like a backwards C then extended from the end of

posterior leg. The diagram indicated the red outline was blanchable.
Review of a written statement by Hospitality Aide #187 dated 12/30/24 revealed she came in to work (on
12/27/24) at 5:00 P.M. She indicated she was aware Resident #46 was dependent on staff and claimed she
had informed the other aide (Aide #335) whom she was working with of the same. She was also aware he
(Resident#46) needed to be checked and changed. She took responsibility for not checking him (Resident
#46). She was watching another resident, but stated that was no reason.
Review of a written statement by Registered Nurse (RN) #117 dated 12/30/24 revealed she had given
Resident #46 his medications the evening of 12/27/24. She stated the resident did not appear to be on a
bedpan at that time. A staff member (Hospitality Aide #187) summoned her back to the resident's room
approximately at 4:00 A.M. on 12/28/24 to look at the resident. Upon entering the resident's room, Aide
#335 was assisting the resident with care and a bedpan was noted on the floor. A body assessment was
completed with a dark purple outline from the bedpan being noted to the resident's right buttocks. The aides
informed the nurse that previous rounds were not completed on the resident due to him sleeping. The nurse
immediately disciplined the two aides on duty for the incident and not providing care to the resident the
majority of their shift.
Review of a written statement by Aide #335 dated 12/31/24 revealed when they got around to their check
and changes it was extremely late, due to behaviors. When the other aide had helped her in Resident #46's
room, they discovered he had been put on a bedpan. They notified the nurse when they found him and she
came back to assess him. He had a ring around his bottom from the amount of time he had been left on the
bedpan.
Review of a written statement by CNA #171 dated 12/31/24 revealed she worked day shift (12/27/24) on
Unit 2 before working on the memory care unit on the 2:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. shift. She indicated one of the
girls (aides) was walking down the hall giving CNA #131 report and told her Resident #46 was on the
bedpan. The day shift girls stated they told them he was on the bedpan, but she could not remember. When
report was over, she started to give showers and taking residents in the dining room to the restroom.
Hospitality Aide #187 stated she would do Resident #46's bed bath, since she did the others. Hospitality
Aide #187 also fed the resident dinner. She (CNA #171) took all the residents in the dining room to the
bathroom (after dinner) and changed them, but she did not go down the hall that evening except to pick up
trays.
Review of the education provided to the nursing staff following the incident involving Resident #46 being left
on the bedpan revealed the facility's DON educated the nursing staff (aides and nurses) on the need for
residents to be checked and changed every two hours. They were also informed that residents should only
be left on the bedpan for five to 10 minutes. Staff were also educated on the definition of dependent
residents and the facility's incontinence care policy and procedures.
On 01/27/25 at 3:09 P.M., an observation of Resident #46's skin revealed the resident had four separate
areas on his buttocks (two on the left buttock and two on the right buttock). Both sides of his buttocks had
open areas present that were superficial and presented as Stage II pressure ulcers. He still had red marks
on his skin that ran verti[TRUNCATED]

Respond appropriately to all alleged violations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, review of the facility's related investigation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed
to ensure an allegation of sexually inappropriate behavior between a resident and a staff member was
recognized as possible sexual abuse and investigated as required. This affected one resident (#44) of four
residents reviewed for abuse/ neglect.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of Resident #44's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses
included a traumatic brain injury, dementia with behavioral disturbances, pseudobulbar affect, restlessness
and agitation, mood disorder, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting his right dominant side, contractures of
the right upper extremity, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and need for assistance with personal care.
Review of Resident #44's annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment completed on 01/08/25 revealed
the resident had adequate hearing and unclear speech. He was rarely/ never able to make himself
understood and was rarely/ never able to understand others. He had highly impaired vision, without the use
of any corrective lenses. Short and long term memory impairment was noted and his cognitive skills for
daily decision making was severely impaired. He was known to display physical behaviors and verbal
behaviors directed at others. He was also known to display other behaviors not directed at others. He had a
functional limitation in his range of motion (ROM) on one side of his upper and lower extremities. He was
dependent on staff for all his activities of daily living (ADL's).
Review of Resident #44's active care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being known to exhibit
behaviors that included physical aggression towards staff (kicking, pinching, grabbing, scratching, biting,
slapping, and punching). He also was known to have inappropriate touching of female staff. The care plan
had been in place since 02/01/23. The goal was for the resident to not harm himself or others during daily
care. The interventions included the need for the staff to approach the resident in a calm manner and offer
a different time of his choice when refusing care; when the resident was physically abusive towards staff,
they were to attempt to redirect the resident, or allow time for resident to calm down and attempt at a later
time; they were to maintain a calm environment and provide a consistent approach with the resident as
able; they were to observe for behaviors that endangered the resident and/or others; staff to carefully
intervene to promote safety; obtain a psychiatric consult/ psychosocial therapy/ psychiatric therapy as
ordered by the physician; staff were to observe for any activity or events that trigger the resident's behavior
and re-direct/ divert his attention to prevent exacerbation; when the resident was exhibiting behaviors, staff
were to keep the resident and others safe.
Review of Resident #44's physician's orders revealed the resident had orders in place to receive Remeron
7.5 milligrams (mg) by mouth every night at bedtime for depression. He also received Vistaril 25 mg by
mouth twice a day for agitation. He was not receiving any other psychoactive medications or any other
medications to reduce any inappropriate sexual behaviors.
Review of Resident #44's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 11/03/24 at 8:00 A.M. that
indicated the resident was noted to grab when the staff provided care and attempted to bite, pinch, and hit
with his left hand. His right hand and arm were noted to be contracted and the resident held it closely to his
body. None of the progress notes documented anything about any known

sexually related behaviors.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 01/27/25 at 1:32 P.M., an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #127 revealed she had not
personally witnessed any sexually inappropriate behavior involving Resident #44, but had heard three
different trainees say the same thing about CNA #114 (who mentored them) that CNA #114 allowed
Resident #44 to fondle her breasts. She identified Aide #148 as one of the aides that trained under CNA
#114 that had knowledge of that and who took it to the Administrator to report it. She stated she
accompanied Aide #148 to the Administrator's office, when the aide reported it. She was not sure if the
Administrator had done anything about it or not. She further identified a second aide (Hospitality Aide #187)
that was also trained by CNA #114 and was told by her trainer that allowing Resident #44 to touch their
breasts was okay. She identified a third aide (CNA #188), as being another aide that had heard CNA #114
say, while in the Unit 2 dining room, she had allowed Resident #44 to touch her breast until he became
erect.
Residents Affected - Few
On 01/28/25 at 9:45 A.M., an interview with Aide #148 confirmed she was trained by CNA #114. She
recalled providing care to Resident #44, with CNA #114, when the resident tried touching her (Aide #148's)
breasts. She stated she stepped back and was told by CNA #114 that it would be fine if she allowed the
resident to do that. She (CNA #114) rationalized that sexually inappropriate behavior by saying it was the
only excitement the resident got during the day. She reported she had also heard from another aide CNA
#114 had told them the same thing. She identified that other aide as Hospitality Aide #187. She described
the resident's action as him knowing what he was doing and it was not an accidental touching of her
breasts. She then reported the two of them then went up to the front of the unit by the dining room where
CNA #114 told the staff that were up there that she had allowed Resident #44 touch her until he got hard,
meaning an erection. She reported the incident happened about a week or two ago. She knew at the time it
was inappropriate behavior and knew if her mentor was allowing the resident to do that to her, then the
resident would think he could do that to others. She reported everyone (her coworkers) were saying that
was sexual abuse and she felt the same. She stated the whole incident made her feel uncomfortable,
especially hearing CNA #114 joke about that. She confirmed she reported it to the facility's Administrator
the next day, with CNA #127 accompanying her. She claimed she had told the Administrator what had
happened. CNA #127 added that it was not right that CNA #114 was training new aides and telling them
that was okay. They were concerned that CNA #114 was also training younger aides that were only [AGE]
years old. The Administrator told her he was glad they said something about that and that it was horrible.
He then told them not to talk about it to anyone and he would handle it. She had not seen any evidence that
it had been handled, as CNA #114 had been back to work, and nothing seemed to have changed.
On 01/28/25 at 11:49 A.M., an interview with Hospitality Aide #187 revealed she received her training back
in August 2024. She was trained by CNA #114 and was trained on Unit 2, where Resident #44 resided. She
was familiar with the resident and knew he had behaviors that needed to be redirected. His behaviors
included him trying to touch them with his hands and he went for the chest area. She recalled the first day
she worked with CNA #114 Resident #44 had his hands on CNA #114's breasts. The resident's left hand
was on the CNA's breast and CNA #114 made no attempt to redirect his behavior or remove his hand. She
(CNA #114) made some comment about that calming him down for a second and it allowed them to get
what they needed done so they could leave. She denied CNA #114 had ever told her to allow the resident
to do that to her. She felt what she witnessed was inappropriate and felt that it may have been considered
sexual abuse. She denied that she reported it to anyone at the time. She knew it had since been reported
by someone else. She denied she was one of the staff members that were present when CNA #114
allegedly told staff in the dining area of Unit 2 that she allowed Resident #44 touch her until he got an
erection. She knew any

concerns about potential abuse should be reported to the facility's Administrator. She stated the incident
she was talking about happened within the first five minutes of her working at the facility and she did not
know who to report that to at the time and was shocked by what happened.
On 01/28/25 at 3:25 P.M., an interview with CNA #188 revealed Resident #44 was known to have
behaviors. He did not like to be bothered and would scream and yell at them. One side of his extremities
was contracted, but he had the use of his left side. The resident was known to get touchy feely with the
staff. They would tell him it was inappropriate behavior and he would just grin. She did not work with CNA
#114 that often, as the other aide worked days, and she was on afternoons. They both worked Unit 2 where
the resident resided. She had not witnessed any inappropriate interactions between CNA #114 and the
resident, but recalled one time during report, CNA #114 told them what she allowed Resident #44 to do.
CNA #114 rationalized allowing the resident to do that, as he was not able to do anything throughout the
day, and that was something that made him happy. She described what she heard as something out of the
norm when she heard that. She had never heard anyone talk like that before. She kind of knew CNA #114
and did not think she would hurt anyone. She then stated she kind of agreed and seen where CNA #114
was coming from, when saying the resident was not able to do anything and that made him happy. She
commented that she would not do that personally. She was asked specifically what CNA #114 had said she
allowed Resident #44 to do. She reported the aide commented about allowing Resident #44 to touch her
breasts until he got hard. She was uncertain if allowing a resident to touch her breast was sexual abuse or
not. She stated she knew there was a fine line. She then said it would never be appropriate to engage in
that type of behavior with a resident. The incident where she heard CNA #114 say what she allowed the
resident to do happened about a month ago. She denied that she personally reported it to anyone.
On 01/28/25 at 4:45 P.M., an interview with the facility's Administrator revealed he was the facility's abuse
coordinator and was the one that investigated and reported allegations of abuse. The staff were taught to
notify their supervisor immediately, at the time of the alleged abuse. It would then need to be reported to
him. They followed the State regulations when it came to investigating and reporting. Any allegation of
physical abuse or something that was dangerous to the resident, they notified the State within two hours.
They had five working days excluding weekends and holidays to complete their investigation and submit
their final report. In the past 30 days, he reported he had a couple resident to resident abuse allegations,
misappropriation of money (which was found in laundry), but no residents who were on the receiving end
that he had been made aware of. He reported there had been an issue that Aide #148 and CNA #127 came
to him about. He was told by Aide #148 that a male resident touched her breast and the aide felt that was
inappropriate. He asked who was with her and was told CNA #114. He claimed it was reported to him that
the male resident brushed against the aide's breast. He informed the aide that was not appropriate and she
needed to redirect the resident with that inappropriate behavior. He informed Aide #148 that the behavior
was not acceptable or condoned in the facility. He discussed residents with certain behaviors based on their
diagnoses that made them act in different ways and she needed to know how to respond to the behaviors.
He denied he had spoken with CNA #114 following that reported incident. He was not real familiar with
Resident #44, but advised the staff they needed to use caution with any resident. The facility's DON was
not there on that day, so he told the staff he would follow up with her (DON) when she came back. He
believed the staff members came to him to talk about that, due to the facility's DON not being there at the
time. None of the behaviors they described to him was done towards Resident #44, as it was done towards
the staff member. He talked with the two aides for about 10-15 minutes with both present at the same time.
He denied that he had any other employees sit in

during the meeting as a witness. He left it (the concern) open ended for nursing to follow up with because it
was a resident initiated behavior. He did not feel the resident was abused or neglected, which would have
been reportable. He denied that the two staff members he talked with mentioned anything about any
comments CNA#114 made to them about allowing Resident #44 to touch them or that CNA #114 allowed
him to touch her breasts until he got an erection. He denied that he had instructed the aides not to talk
about that with anyone. He did report he told them he would handle it. He denied he had submitted any self
reporting incidents or completed an investigation pertaining what was reported to him.
On 01/29/25 at 9:15 A.M., a follow up interview with CNA #127 reconfirmed she was present when Aide
#148 talked to the Administrator about what took place with Resident #44. She indicated the meeting with
the Administrator occurred on 01/13/25. She was in the office when Aide #148 reported to the Administrator
what had taken place. She denied Aide #148 only told the Administrator about the resident brushing up
against her (Aide #148's) breasts. They informed him that CNA #114 was saying that she allowed Resident
#44 to touch her breast. She reported the word fondled was used when they told the Administrator about
the comment CNA #114 made about allowing the resident to fondle her until he got a hard on. She denied
the discussion was about the resident brushing against Aide #148's breast. It was about the resident
grabbing and holding CNA #114's breasts. She further confirmed the Administrator told them not to talk
about it with anyone and that he would handle it.
On 01/29/25 at 3:18 P.M., an interview with Aide #325 revealed she had heard Aide #148 say that Resident
#44 had tried touching her breasts, but she did not allow him to. She also heard, when the two (CNA #114
and Aide #48) left the resident's room, CNA #114 was telling Aide #148 that it was okay to allow him to do
that because she (CNA #114) let him. Aide #148 then told her and another aide that CNA #114 allowed the
resident to get an erection. She denied she had witnessed anything personally between CNA #114 and
Resident #44. The only knowledge she had was what Aide #148 had told her. She instructed Aide #148 to
tell CNA #127. It was then communicated to LPN #174, who informed them that they needed to tell the
Administrator. She denied she or Aide #148 were asked to write any statements. She thought that was odd
that they did not ask her to do that, as she knew that was typically done with any investigation. She was told
Hospitality Aide #187 had witnessed inappropriate things between CNA #114 and Resident #44 too. She
identified another aide (CNA #213), who reportedly witnessed CNA #114 allow Resident #44 to touch her
breasts. She felt that something needed to be done about it and did not feel they were.
On 01/29/25 at 4:02 P.M., an interview with CNA #213 revealed he worked often with CNA #114 on day
shift and on Unit 2. He was only aware of one incident that involved anything happening between CNA #114
and Resident #44. He recalled they (him and CNA #114) were giving Resident #44 a bed bath. They were
about done when the resident reached out and grabbed CNA #114's breast. He intervened and told the
resident that that was not appropriate behavior. He denied CNA #114 had attempted to redirect the
resident's behavior or to remove his hand. He removed the resident's hand off the other aides breast and
then they rolled the resident towards him. His hand was only on her breast for a few seconds. CNA #114
made a comment that the resident did that all the time. While rolling the resident over towards him, he
noticed the resident was aroused. When asked to explain what he meant by the resident being aroused, he
stated the resident was hard (meaning an erection). He denied there was any indication the other aide
allowed that to occur. It was just her comment that he (Resident #44) did it all the time that he took as her
allowing the resident to do that. He felt she (CNA #114) allowed that behavior from Resident #44, so she
could do care on him, as he could be a difficult resident.

months revealed there had been four SRI's submitted during that time. None of the SRI's submitted
involved an allegation of sexual abuse pertaining to Resident #44 and involving CNA #114.
Review of the facility's abuse policy (not dated) revealed it was the policy of the facility not to tolerate
mistreatment, abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of it's residents by anyone. It was also the policy of the
facility to investigate all allegations, suspicions, and incidents of abuse, neglect, and injuries sustained by
its residents. Facility staff should report all such allegations to the Administrator and the Ohio Department
of Health (ODH) in accordance with the procedures in this policy. While the policy provided general
guidelines, it was not meant to to overrule clinical judgement where such judgement was appropriate. The
definition of abuse was willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with
resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. It did not define sexual abuse. Training of staff was to be
completed upon orientation and periodically thereafter regarding the facility's policy concerning abuse.
Those training sessions were to include how to identify abuse and how staff should report their knowledge
related to the allegations. Response to allegations or suspicions of abuse included the need for staff to
report all incidents immediately to their direct supervisors. All allegations of abuse must be reported
immediately to both the Administrator and to ODH. For purposes of that policy, immediately meant as soon
as possible, but ought not to exceed 24 hours after the incident. Once the Administrator and ODH were
notified, an investigation of the allegation or suspicion would be conducted. The investigation was to be
completed within five working days (excluding weekends or legal holidays).
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00161702.

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY
Residents Affected - Few
Based on record review, review of the facility's related investigation, observation, staff interview, and policy
review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who entered the facility without any skin breakdown received
the care and services to prevent an avoidable pressure ulcer from developing. This affected one resident
(#46) of two residents reviewed for pressure ulcers.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #46's medical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses
included Lewy Body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, metabolic encephalopathy, abnormalities of gait and
mobility, and need for assistance with personal care.
Review of Resident #46's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had clear
speech and adequate hearing. He was sometimes able to make himself understood and was sometimes
able to understand others. His vision was highly impaired without the use of any corrective devices. His
cognition was severely impaired and he was known to display behaviors that included hallucinations and
physical behaviors directed at others. He was not indicated to have rejected any care during his
assessment period. He was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene, bed mobility, and transfers. He was
coded as always being incontinent of his bowel and bladder and was at risk for pressure ulcers, but did not
have any pressure ulcers at the time of the assessment.
Review of Resident #46's active care plans revealed the resident had a care plan in place for being
incontinent of his bladder. Interventions included the need to check and provide incontinence care as
needed. They were to provide physical support/ assist for toileting safety as indicated for the resident.
Further review of Resident #46's care plans revealed he had a care plan in place for being at risk for skin
breakdown related to impaired mobility, impaired cognition, and bladder and bowel incontinence. The goal
was for the resident to not develop any skin breakdown. The interventions included assisting the resident as
needed with turning and positioning frequently when in bed; observe resident for any incontinence episodes
and provide incontinence care as needed; and apply protective barrier after each incontinent episode.
Review of Resident #46's nurses' progress notes revealed a nurse's note dated 12/28/24 at 4:07 A.M. that
revealed staff reported excoriation to the resident's buttocks. The physician was notified and a treatment
was initiated for cleansing the area with normal saline and apply Triad cream to the resident's buttocks.
A nurse's progress note dated 12/30/24 at 11:36 A.M. revealed an initial review was completed for a wound
the resident had to his left buttocks. Treatment had been initiated as per the 12/28/24 note, but also
specified it was to be completed twice a day and as needed (prn) and it was to be left open to air.
Review of Resident #46's physician's orders revealed a treatment was put in place for an area on the left
buttock beginning on 12/30/24. Treatment initiated was same treatment indicated in the

nurse's note dated 12/30/24. A physician's order was given on 12/31/24 for treatment to an area on the
resident's right buttock. The treatment initiated was the same treatment that had been in place for the left
buttock.
Review of Resident #46's wound observation reports under the electronic medical record (EMR) revealed a
wound observation dated 12/30/24 that indicated the resident was observed to have a Stage I pressure
ulcer (intact skin with localized area of non-blanchable redness) to the right buttock. The date the wound
was identified was on 12/30/24. It measured 12 centimeters (cm) x 6 cm at date of onset.
Subsequent wound observations for Resident #46's Stage I pressure ulcer to the right buttock revealed the
wound further deteriorated to a Stage II pressure ulcer (partial thickness loss of skin with exposed dermis)
on 01/06/25 and remained as a Stage II pressure ulcer when it was last assessed on 01/27/25. Upon it's
last assessment, the Stage II pressure ulcer to the right buttock measured 0.8 cm x 0.2 cm x 0.1 cm. The
wound was closed- resurfaced and had no exudate (drainage). There were no current wound observations
for any areas the resident had on his left buttock due to reports the left buttock wound had resolved.
On 01/27/25 at 1:32 P.M., an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #127 revealed Resident #46
was known to have a sore on his buttocks from being left on a bed pan. She was told the resident was left
on the bedpan for about 14 hours, which resulted in the sore on his buttock. There was an actual ring on his
buttocks from the bedpan. She could not recall exactly when that occurred, but stated the resident was
placed on the bedpan during the afternoon shift and was not taken off until sometime during the night shift.
The resident still had an imprint of the bedpan on his legs and buttocks and currently had an open area that
was starting to close up.
On 01/27/25 at 1:46 P.M., an interview with CNA #223 revealed the incident with Resident #46 being left on
the bed pan happened when she was on vacation. When she returned to work, the areas to his buttocks
were there. She had heard the skin issue was the result of him being left on a bedpan. She stated you
could tell the area was caused by a bedpan based on the marks it left on his skin. He currently had areas
on both his buttocks. She did not feel the resident being left on the bedpan was intentional, but she stated it
should not have happened.
On 01/27/25 at 1:57 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #174 revealed Resident #46
did have skin issues, but she was not sure if they were being classified as pressure ulcers or not. She
confirmed the areas were on his buttocks. She was asked how he got that area and replied the resident
was left on a bedpan for an extended period of time. She reported he was placed on a bedpan during the
afternoon shift and remained on it into the night shift. She was not certain when that took place, but felt it
was likely the end of December 2024. She saw the areas after it was first noted. He had an impression of a
bedpan on his buttocks and on his upper, posterior legs. She denied it was open at it's onset, but did
eventually open. She reported the facility did investigate the concern. She was not sure what staff were
involved in the incident. They continued to monitor the resident's buttocks and the area was looking better.
The left buttock was also indicated to have been healed. She had heard the resident was left on the bedpan
until around 4:00 A.M. She could not explain why the resident would not have been found on the bedpan
earlier than he was. She confirmed the resident should have been a check and change every two hours.
She recalled being there when the day shift aides informed the afternoon shift aides at shift change (2:00
P.M.) that the resident was on the bed pan and would need assistance getting off. She would have
assumed rounds did not get done on the afternoon shift or during the first part of the night shift, as he was
not found still on the bedpan

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 01/27/25 at 3:09 P.M., an observation of Resident #46's skin revealed the resident had four separate
areas on his buttocks (two on the left buttock and two on the right buttock). Both sides of his buttocks had
open areas present that were superficial and presented as Stage II pressure ulcers. He still had red marks
on his skin that ran vertically on his left buttock and horizontally on his right buttock. There was a small red
mark that ran vertically from the end of the horizontal line on his right buttock down about four inches.
Residents Affected - Few
On 01/27/25 at 3:38 P.M., an interview with RN #117 revealed she was the night shift nurse working on the
memory care unit on 12/27/24 into 12/28/24, when Resident #46 was found to have the areas on his
buttocks that was related to being left on a bedpan. She recalled the aides came up to her desk at around
4:00 A.M. and reported the resident had new skin areas. She and another nurse went and assessed the
resident's skin. The resident had the whole bedpan ring imprinted on his buttocks that was more significant
on the right side of his buttocks. The ring was a purple indentation that was blanchable at the time. She
didn't know at the time, but was informed in the morning, when she called the DON, that a day shift aide
working 12/28/24 said they had put the resident on the bedpan at the request of the resident's daughter the
day before. That was how she was able to determine how long he had been on the bedpan before he was
found. She denied that it was likely the resident had been taken off the bedpan and then put back on at
some point during the afternoon shift, as he was not one to use the bedpan. He did not know when he had
to go. She reported the aides that worked the afternoon shift on 12/27/24 would have been Hospitality Aide
#187 and CNA #171. She confirmed Hospitality Aide #187 came in later in the shift, around 5:00 P.M. and
CNA #131 was there with CNA #171, until Hospital Aide #187 came in. CNA #131 then went to work on
another unit. She reported when she went to the office to talk to the DON about what happened, the DON
was on the phone with CNA #171 and Hospitality Aide #187 was in the office talking about it too. She
confirmed she gave a written statement on what had happened as part of a facility investigation. She
denied she talked with the three afternoon shift aides to see if they had done anything with the resident
during the evening of 12/27/24. Hospitality Aide #187 and Aide #335 worked the night shift from 10:00 P.M.
to 6:00 A.M. going from 12/27/24 into 12/28/24. She did ask those aides if they had done anything with the
resident that night before finding him still on the bedpan at 4:00 A.M. They told her they had been in his
room before that, but he was sleeping, so they did not want to bother him. She stated the resident was one
that the staff should have been checking every two hours and assisting him with incontinence care as
needed. She felt the aides should have realized he was on the bedpan before 4:00 A.M., if they were
checking him how they should have been.
On 01/29/25 at 11:49 A.M., an interview with Hospitality Aide #187 confirmed she arrived to work on
12/27/24 at 5:00 P.M. and worked on the memory care unit. She recalled it was around supper time that she
arrived. Resident #46 was in bed being fed by CNA #131. She denied she had any interactions with the
resident between 5:00 P.M. on 12/27/24 until 4:00 A.M. on 12/28/24. She verified the resident was known to
be incontinent and would have been one they needed to check and change every two hours. He was not
able to inform the staff when he needed to go to the bathroom. To her knowledge CNA #171 went in the
resident's room, but she guessed the aide must not have. She denied she had seen CNA #171 provide any
care to Resident #46, after she came in to work at 5:00 P.M. She confirmed she was in the lounge/ dining
area, so she may not have seen who went in or out of the resident's room. The resident was the only two
person assist they had on that unit. They did not normally do rounds together. She stated she knew she
should have went in to assist with the resident's care, since he was a two person assist. She confirmed she
continued to work over into the night shift and worked the entire night shift. She denied that she went into
the resident's room until

they went in at 4:00 A.M. They seen that the resident was sleeping earlier in the night, so they did not want
to bother him. They found him still on the bedpan when they went into his room at 4:00 A.M. They
immediately notified the nurse when they found the resident still on his bedpan. The nurse came back and
checked the resident. She was in the room at the time the nurse checked her and saw there were red
marks on the resident's buttocks caused by the impression from the bedpan. She stated she was not sure
how long the resident was on the bedpan. She was unaware he was on the bedpan when she came in at
5:00 P.M. She never saw him on a bedpan prior to finding him at 4:00 A.M. She confirmed she was given
education on neglect, the need to do check and change rounds every two hours, and not to leave a resident
on the bedpan longer than five to 10 minutes.
Review of the facility's investigation file pertaining to Resident #46 and him being left on the bedpan
revealed it included an established timeline of the events, statements obtained from four staff directly
involved in the incident, a body assessment that had been performed on Resident #46, evidence of a whole
house skin sweep of all residents, education provided to staff, and audits that had been completed by the
facility since the incident occurred.
Review of the timeline that was included as part of the facility's investigation revealed Resident #46 was
noted to have a skin assessment completed on 12/28/24 by two separate nurses at 4:00 A.M. and again at
4:05 A.M. On-call physician's service was contacted and treatment was initiated for a reported skin area.
Review of Resident #46's skin assessment that was completed on 12/30/24, as part of the facility's
investigation, revealed the assessment was documented using a body diagram form. It documented
wounds the resident was noted to have, after being left on the bedpan for an extended period of time. The
body diagram showed the areas where red lines were noted. The resident was noted to have a red outline
from the bedpan that started at the lower back/ upper buttock area midway over the left buttock. It was a
slightly diagonal line that was shaped like a backwards L with the base of the L slightly higher than the start
of it ending about 3/4 of the way above the right buttock/ flank area. The base of the L then extended down
into the upper part of the right buttock. A curved line shaped like a backwards C then extended from the
end of the base of the backwards L down the resident's right outer buttock ending below his gluteal fold
near the inner, upper, posterior leg. The diagram indicated the red outline was blanchable.
Review of a written statement by Hospitality Aide #187 dated 12/30/24 revealed she came in to work (on
12/27/24) at 5:00 P.M. She indicated she was aware Resident #46 was dependent on staff and claimed she
had informed the other aide (Aide #335) that she was working with of the same. She was also aware he
needed to be checked and changed. She wrote that she took responsibility for not checking him (Resident
#46). She was watching another resident, but stated that was no reason.
Review of a written statement by RN #117 dated 12/30/24 revealed she had given Resident #46 his
medications the evening of 12/27/24. She stated he did not appear to be on a bedpan at that time. A staff
member (Hospitality Aide #187) summoned her back to the resident's room approximately at 4:00 A.M. on
12/28/24 to look at the resident. Upon entering the resident's room, Aide #335 was assisting the resident
with care and a bedpan was noted on the floor. A body assessment was completed with a dark purple
outline from the bedpan being noted to the resident's right buttocks. The aides informed the nurse that
previous rounds were not completed on the resident due to him sleeping. The nurse indicated in her
statement that she immediately disciplined the two aides on duty for the incident and not providing care to
the resident the majority of their shift.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Review of a written statement by Aide #335 dated 12/31/24 revealed when they got around to their check
and changes it was extremely late, due to behaviors. When the other aide had helped her in Resident #46's
room, they discovered he had been put on a bedpan. They notified the nurse when they found him and she
came back to assess him. He had a ring around his bottom from the amount of time he had been on the
bedpan.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of a written statement by CNA #171 dated 12/31/24 revealed she worked day shift (12/27/24) on
Unit 2 and then worked on memory care unit on the 2:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. shift. She indicated one of the
girls (aides) was walking down the hall giving CNA #131 report and told her the Resident #46 was on the
bedpan. The day shift girls stated they told them he was on the bedpan, but she could not remember. When
report was over, she started to give showers and taking residents in the dining room to the restroom.
Hospitality Aide #187 stated she would do Resident #46's bed bath, since she did the others. Hospitality
Aide #187 also fed the resident dinner. She (CNA #171) took all the residents in the dining room to the
bathroom (after dinner) and changed them, but she did not go down the hall that evening except to pick up
trays.
Review of the education provided to the nursing staff following the incident involving Resident #46 being left
on the bedpan revealed the facility's DON educated the nursing staff (aides and nurses) on the need to be
checked and changed every two hours. They were also informed that residents should only be left on the
bedpan for five to 10 minutes. Staff were also educated on the definition of dependent residents.
Review of the employee file for Hospitality Aide #187 revealed she had a personnel action form in her file
pertaining to the incident involving a resident (Resident #46) being left on a bedpan for an extended period
of time causing skin injury. It was indicated to have been an official discipline. The DON followed up with the
CNA on 12/30/24 and reviewed the disciplinary action with her and informed her that was her first offense.
Review of the employee file for CNA #171 revealed she had a personnel action form that revealed she was
given a third offense violation on 12/30/24 for failing to complete check and change on a resident (Resident
#46) for a whole shift. She was given in report that the resident was on a bedpan, but did not check on him.
Review of the facility's policy on Routine Resident Checks (updated 10/20/22) revealed it was the facility's
policy that routine resident checks should be made to ensure that the resident's safety and weel-being were
maintained. To ensure the safety and well-being of the resident's, a resident check would be completed at
least every two hours throughout each 24-hour shift by nursing service personnel. Routine resident checks
involve entering the resident's room to determine if the resident had needs that needed to be met, such as
a change in the resident's condition, if the resident needed toileted or changed, if the resident needed
turned and repositioned etc.
The deficient practice was corrected on 12/30/24 when the facility implemented the following corrective
actions:
•
On 12/28/24 at 4:05 A.M., a skin assessment was completed on Resident #46 by two nurses to identify
areas of skin impairment.
