Based on facility self-reported incident review, record review, policy review, resident interview and staff interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was free from staff to resident verbal abuse. This affected one resident (#1) of three residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 150.

STNA #211 indicated when she arrived at the room, LPN #205 and Resident #1 were arguing back and forth about water. She further indicated they called each other [expletive], fat [expletive], and kept going. She indicated LPN #205 did not walk away, she stayed and argued with Resident #1.

Review of LPN #205's undated witness statement indicated she entered Resident #1's rooms with her medications and inhaler. Resident #1 said something she couldn't hear and asked her what she said. Resident #1 then screamed at her she needed more water. LPN #205 indicated she told Resident #1 she didn't need to scream at her. Resident #1 then threw the water on LPN #205 and called her a fat [expletive]. LPN #205 asked Resident #1 if she was going to take her medications and Resident #1 threw her medications on the floor, jumped out of her bed, and started to attack LPN #205. LPN #205 indicated Resident #1 was punching and grabbing her. Resident #1 grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her telling her I'm going to break this mother [expletive]. Resident #1 called LPN #205 a fat [expletive] and continued to hit her. STNAs #211 and #219 entered the room at some point, but she was unsure of when. LPN #205 indicated she did not call Resident #1 any names until she started hitting her. Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed an admission date of 02/13/14 with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, anxiety disorder, and major depression. Further review of Resident #1's medical record including the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 annual assessment dated [DATE] revealed an independent cognition level. Interview with Resident #1 on 08/11/23 at 11:08 A.M. revealed a few weeks ago she had a verbal altercation with a nurse during evening medication pass. She didn't bring in enough water and she yelled at the nurse, the nurse wouldn't leave, so she jumped out of bed and pushed her. They called each other names back and forth until the STNAs broke it up. Interview with the facility Administrator on 08/11/23 at 10:45 A.M. verified a verbal abuse incident between Resident #1 and LPN #205. Review of the facility policy titled Abuse Prevention Program, dated 02/2017, revealed the facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and mistreatment of the residents. The deficient practice was corrected on 08/02/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • LPN #205 was suspended on 07/21/23 and terminated on 07/25/23. • Staff witness statements were obtained on 07/21/23. • An SRI was created on 07/21/23. • An SRI investigation was completed on 07/28/23.
