Review of the progress note dated 07/23/23 revealed a general note stated the resident informed nurse of
unsupervised smoking going on. When nurse stated she would check on it, the resident became irate and
lifted his hand as if he were to smack the nurse.
Review of the progress note dated 11/13/23 revealed a report was made to social services that the resident
was showing signs of aggression with another resident. When asked, Resident #55 denied this.
Review of the progress note on 01/08/24 revealed a behavior note from the Administrator where the
Administrator spoke with Resident #55 about how he treats other residents and staff due to complaints of
being nasty to them cussing at staff and using sexual remarks when assisting with showers. The resident
was informed of the possibility of getting a 30-day notice and also offered to send him to a homeless shelter
and stated behaviors must stop.
Interview on 02/27/24 at 10:40 A.M. with the Administrator revealed Resident #55 and Resident #75 were
upset with how the Administrator handled a situation about a discussion related to resident discharge. The
Administrator revealed he threatened to discharge Resident #55 due to his nastiness toward staff. The
Administrator revealed he told Resident #55 if behaviors didn't stop, the resident would be discharged to
the homeless shelters. The Administrator revealed the resident bullied other residents on the smoking patio
and revealed he had a behavioral care plan. The Administrator revealed Resident #75 and her family were
upset about the comment and threat of discharge to a shelter and requested for supervisor contact
information. Resident #75's family contacted Corporate Administrator (CA) #250 to discuss her concerns
and afterwards, CA #250 reached out to the Administrator and offered assistance. The Administrator
revealed he informed Resident #75's family he knew he was not allowed to discharge Resident #55 to a
homeless shelter and confirmed he was threatening him in an attempt to scare him straight. The
Administrator revealed he was trying to scare him to not be a bully.
Interview on 02/27/24 at 11:10 A.M. with Resident #75's family revealed the Administrator informed her he
could not actually discharge Resident #55 to a shelter but wanted to scare him straight. Resident #75's
family reported the Administrator's behavior and comments were inappropriate.
Interview on 02/27/24 at 1:13 P.M. and again at 2:48 P.M. with Resident #55 confirmed he met with the
Administrator and was told he would be dropped off at the homeless shelter. Resident #55 revealed he felt
the threat of discharge was serious and reported he was trying to discharge to a different facility.
Interview on 02/27/24 at 1:25 P.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #210 revealed she had not heard of
Resident #55 having behaviors and revealed behavioral tracking was not being done for Resident #55. She
revealed Resident #55 could be very direct and loud at times. LPN #210 reported any behaviors or
threatening comments should be documented in the medical record.
Interview on 02/27/24 at 1:35 P.M. with Resident #75 revealed after Resident #55 had a conversation with
the Administrator, Resident #55 came to Resident #75's room tearful and revealed he was upset and told
Resident #75 he was being kicked out to a shelter.
Interview on 02/27/24 at 2:24 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she was unable to find
evidence of any recent behaviors which would lead to a discussion related to discharge and giving a 30 day
discharge notice.
