F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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** 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 self-reported incident (SRI) and associated facility investigation, review of police reports, review of facility policy, and interviews, the facility failed to prevent an incident of staff to resident abuse for Resident #78. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and actual physical and psychosocial harm on 09/19/24 when State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #942 physically abused Resident #78 by spraying the resident in the face with oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray (also known as pepper spray). As a result, Resident #78 complained of his eyes burning and facility staff observed his eyes were red. In addition, a Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Assessment was completed for Resident #78 on 09/20/24, which indicated Resident #78 considered the event traumatic, had nightmares or thought about the event when he did not want to, had been frequently on guard or watchful or easily startled, and felt guilty or unable to stop blaming himself or others for the event. On 10/17/24 at 4:38 P.M., the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Regional Nurse #938, and Regional Director of Operations #943 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 09/19/24 when STNA #942 physically abused Resident #78 by spraying the resident in the face with pepper spray. Resident #78 complained of his eyes burning and his eyes were red as observed and reported by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #941. STNA #919 alerted Unit Manager #809 via text message on 09/19/24 at 9:54 A.M. that a resident had been maced and help was needed. Per the facility's timeline for the incident, an investigation did not begin until 09/19/24 at 1:56 P.M., approximately four hours after the incident was reported to Unit Manager #809. STNA #942 continued working in the facility until 2:17 P.M. A PTSD Assessment, completed 09/20/24, indicated Resident #78 considered the incident traumatic and described the incident as he had a heated conversation with staff and then he was sprayed in the face with pepper spray. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed and the deficient practice was corrected on 09/25/24 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions: • On 09/19/24 at 1:51 P.M.

Upon entering the hallway, she noted Resident #78 had an orange residue dripping down his face and STNA #942 told her Resident #78 tried to hit STNA #942 and she maced him. STNA #919 stated she alerted the nurse, Resident #78's eyes were cleaned, and Resident #78 was given a shower to remove the remaining orange residue from his hair and face. STNA #919 said she texted Unit Manager #809 on 09/19/24 at 9:54 A.M. to notify her that Resident #78 had been maced on the unit. Observation of the text conversation at the time of interview confirmed the date and time the text message notification was sent from STNA #919 to Unit Manager #809. On 10/17/24 at 11:27 A.M., an interview with Unit Manager #809 revealed she was in morning meeting when someone reported an odor on the unit. Unit Manager #809 confirmed STNA #919 texted her on 09/19/24 at 9:54 A.M. notifying her that someone had been massed on the unit, STNA #919 then clarified it smelled like bear [NAME], and STNA #919 said Resident #78 needed help. Unit Manager #809 said she asked STNA #919 if the nurse was over there and STNA #919 said she told LPN #941 and LPN #941 was in the office. Unit Manager #809 said she texted LPN #941 on 09/19/24 at 10:34 A.M. to ask if everything was okay and LPN #941 texted back that Resident #78 must have gotten a chemical in his eyes because his eyes were burning, and they flushed his eyes. Unit Manager #809 stated she went to the unit around 11:15 A.M. to assess Resident #78 with no significant findings, there was no odor of [NAME] on the unit, and none of the residents complained of burning sensations or difficulty breathing at that time. Unit Manager #809 further stated that STNA #919 did not approach management staff until later in the day to state what really happened and that's when management began investigating the possibility of [NAME] instead of a cleaning chemical. On 10/22/24 at 1:07 P.M., and interview with LPN #941 revealed Resident #78 got some sort of chemical in his eyes, she assessed him, flushed his eyes, and alerted the unit manager he got a chemical in his eyes and she had flushed them. LPN #941 revealed she had the STNA dispose of the chemical and she denied knowledge of the chemical being [NAME] or pepper spray. LPN #941 revealed later in the day she was suspected pending an investigation and at the time, she didn't have any reason to suspect it was anything other than a cleaning chemical because what is what the STNA reported to her. LPN revealed she was fired for supposedly covering up abuse of a resident but she denies she did this. LPN #941 revealed staff were fearful for their lives because of the dangerous people in the building, and management staff did not care and told staff they couldn't restrain residents or lay a hand on the residents to protect themselves in any way from resident behaviors. LPN #941 reiterated it was dangerous at the facility.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 self-reported incident (SRI) and associated facility investigation, review of facility policy, and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure staff reported allegations of abuse in a timely manner. This affected one resident (#78) of three reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 167. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #78 revealed an admission date of 12/31/22 and re-admission date of 02/03/23. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting right dominant side, aphasia following cerebral infarction, hypertension, vascular dementia with mood and behavior disturbance, expressive language disorder, adjustment disorder with mixed disturbance of emotions and conduct, dysphagia following cerebral infarction, impulse disorder, anxiety disorder, delusional disorders, intermittent explosive disorder, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. Review of the behavior care plan, revised 08/27/24, revealed Resident #78 had a behavior problem related to impulse disorder, dementia, bipolar disorder, verbally aggressive or threatening, touching staff inappropriately, making inappropriate comments, and refusal of care. Interventions included provide medications as ordered (01/06/23), approach and speak in a calm manner (01/06/23), consult behavioral health as needed (01/06/23), communicate with resident regarding behaviors and treatment (01/06/23), encourage resident to express feelings (01/06/23), encourage resident to maintain as much independence and control or decision making as possible (01/06/23), intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others (01/06/23), minimize the potential for disruptive behaviors by offering snacks that divert attention (01/06/23), monitor behavioral episodes and attempt to determine underlying causes (01/06/23), notify medical director of increased behaviors (01/06/23), observe and anticipate resident's needs (01/06/23), praise any indication of progress in behaviors (01/06/23), psychosocial assessment completed (09/19/24), and PTSD screen completed (09/19/24). Review of the facility submitted SRI dated 09/19/24 revealed a chemical made contact with Resident #78's eyes. Further review of the facility's SRI investigation revealed STNA #942 had sprayed oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray (also known as pepper spray) toward Resident #78. Review of the witness statements revealed Resident #81 witnessed STNA #942 spray Resident #78 with [NAME], STNA #919's statement indicated STNA #942 told STNA #919 that she sprayed Resident #78 with [NAME] and STNA #919 reported it to the nurse and unit manager immediately, and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #941's statement indicated Resident #78's eyes were burning and red and Resident #78 indicated he was sprayed with something. The facility's timeline of their investigation indicated the alleged incident occurred around 10:00 A.M., facility management were not notified of the alleged abuse until 1:55 P.M., and the investigation of the incident began at 1:56 P.M.

He described the event as he got into an argument with staff over the smoke break, he got agitated, and the next thing he knew was he was getting sprayed in the eyes with that spray. On 10/16/24 at 11:55 A.M., an interview with the Administrator and DON stated the Administrator was out of town at the time of the incident and the DON conducted the investigation. The Administrator and DON confirmed STNA #942 sprayed Resident #78 with pepper spray. The Administrator and DON said initially it was reported that Resident #78 got cleaning chemicals in his eyes and further investigation determined that was inaccurate. On 10/16/24 at 2:00 P.M., an interview with Unit Manager #861 stated the management team was sitting in morning meeting around 9:30 A.M. on the day of the incident when one of the managers received a text about someone being maced on the unit and there was an odor. On 10/16/24 at 2:50 P.M., an interview with the Administrator and DON confirmed the facility's timeline for the incident, including that management staff were not aware of the incident until 09/19/24 at 1:55 P.M. On 10/17/24 at 10:49 A.M., an interview with STNA #919 stated she was assisting another resident with breakfast when she heard a commotion in the hallway. Upon entering the hallway, she noted Resident #78 had an orange residue dripping down his face and STNA #942 told her Resident #78 tried to hit STNA #942 and she maced him. STNA #919 stated she alerted the nurse, Resident #78's eyes were cleaned, and Resident #78 was given a shower to remove the remaining orange residue from his hair and face. STNA #919 said she texted Unit Manager #809 on 09/19/24 at 9:54 A.M. to notify her that Resident #78 had been maced on the unit. Observation of the text conversation at the time of interview confirmed the date and time the text message notification was sent from STNA #919 to Unit Manager #809. On 10/17/24 at 11:27 A.M., an interview with Unit Manager #809 stated she was in morning meeting when someone reported an odor on the unit. Unit Manager #809 confirmed STNA #919 texted her on 09/19/24 at 9:54 A.M. notifying her that someone had been massed on the unit, STNA #919 then clarified it smelled like bear [NAME], and STNA #919 said Resident #78 needed help. Unit Manager #809 said she asked STNA #919 if the nurse was over there and STNA #919 said she told LPN #941 and LPN #941 was in the office. Unit Manager #809 said she texted LPN #941 on 09/19/24 at 10:34 A.M. to ask if everything was okay and LPN #941 texted back that Resident #78 must have gotten a chemical in his eyes because his eyes were burning and they flushed his eyes. Unit Manager #809 stated she went to the unit around 11:15 A.M. to assess Resident #78 with no significant findings, there was no odor of [NAME] on the unit, and none of the residents complained of burning sensations or difficulty breathing at that time. Unit Manager #809 further stated that STNA #919 did not approach management staff until later in the day to state what really happened and that's when management began investigating the possibility of [NAME] instead of a cleaning chemical.
