F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many while they were dressing the resident (time not given). CNA #561 reported that CNA #555 had yelled out in a mocking manner saying okay, okay, okay which is what Resident #49 was known for repeating as he had limited verbalization due to his Alzheimer's diagnosis. It was reported that both CNAs then went to Resident #23's room (time not given) to assist with care. UM/LPN #532 instructed LPN #536 to ask CNA #555 to leave immediately (time not given) then go into Resident #23's room to ask about the reported allegation. Resident #23 denied concerns with staff, denied any CNA yelling or arguing with him and indicated he felt safe. UM/LPN #532 instructed LPN #536 to complete pain assessments on Resident #23 and Resident #49 and to complete skin assessments on all residents on the 300 and 400 halls. Resident #49's skin assessment was negative. UM/LPN #532 notified the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) and Regional Director of Operations (RDO) of the allegation, an SRI was initiated and an investigation began. Continued review of the facility's timeline revealed on 07/28/25, UM/LPN #532 assessed Resident #23 and Resident #49 who were within normal limits.

Continued review of the facility's timeline revealed on 07/29/25, Resident #23 had a care conference and did not voice any concerns or issues. A follow-up interview completed by the Administrator with CNA #555 revealed she was blindsided by the allegations as she had been a CNA at the facility for 14 years. CNA #555 stated she only touched Resident #49's shoulders when putting his shirt on and may have said okay, okay, okay but not in a mocking way but to repeat as that is how Resident #49 communicated. CNA #555 felt the allegations were false and may have been ignited the day before because she had to repeatedly ask where the other CNA was during that shift. SSD #559 met with Resident #23 who was resting. SSD #559 met with Resident #23 again on 07/30/25 who was resting and smiled when he asked how he was feeling.Review of an undated witness statement authored by CNA #561 revealed it was directed towards the facility's previous Human Resource Director (HRD), UM/LPN #532 and the DNS and revealed the following information: I am writing to formally report a situation that I believe violated workplace policies and may have impacted my sense of safety and professionalism on the job. On 07/27/25 (no time given) I witnessed my co-worker [CNA #555] yell and shake a dementia patient [Resident #49] as we were dressing him. Then (no time given) the next patient [Resident #23] [CNA #555] argued with and I stepped in to diffuse the situation. The coworker cooled down but I reported this to two different nurses, UM/LPN #532 and the DNS. I believe it is important to bring this forward in the spirit of maintaining a respectful and accountable but mostly safe workplace. I am willing to cooperate with any investigation or discussion necessary. Please confirm receipt of this message and let me know the next steps. Review of a witness statement dated 07/27/25 and authored by CNA #555 revealed the following information: Today I helped my co-worker with Resident #49 (no time given). Everything went good, she put his pants on and I put his shirt on and got him up in his chair. Additional writing on this statement dated 07/29/25 and signed by the Administrator revealed the following information: I knew the other CNA and did not expect anything. I don't know why she would make accusations. I have spent 14 years working at the facility. There was another accusation in the past made by the resident (not specified) a few months ago. I put his [Resident #49's] shirt on. I did not shake him. I may have said ‘okay, okay,' but not to mock him that's just how he communicates. I have never had a problem with the other CNA. I spent much of the day asking where the CNA was and the nurse (not specified) would say 'no.' And I stated, ‘I haven't either.' I don't know, I have worked here a long time and would never abuse a resident. I don't do this job for the Administrator or the DNS, I do it for the person in the bed. Review of a witness statement dated 07/27/25 and authored by Registered Nurse (RN) #518 revealed the following information: I was approached by CNA #561 (time not given) and she 365834 Page 5 of 30 365834 09/10/2025 Majestic Care of Kent 1290 Fairchild Avenue Kent, OH 44240

CNA #561 stated while her and CNA #555 were in Resident #49's room she witnessed CNA #555 put her hands on Resident #49's shoulders and shake him, mocking him, saying ‘okay, okay, okay.' I would like to add that I feel like CNA #561 was upset she was told by this nurse that she was working the 300 hall and the other CNA was working 400 hall by herself. I went in to speak to Resident #23 who stated nothing happened other than CNA #444 was moody and upset because she did not have any linen to do his bed bath.

When asked if personnel files were reviewed as part of the SRI, the Administrator confirmed she did not review personnel files even as the facility policy directed to do so. When asked about the timeline regarding the incident and the reporting of the allegation, the Administrator stated it seemed like it took most of the day for CNA #561 to report the allegation which was not immediate as required. The Administrator verified the overall SRI on 07/27/25 was not thoroughly investigated, did not follow the facility's abuse protocol and multiple facility staff did not report the allegation of abuse/neglect immediately as required. Review of the facility policy, Abuse, Mistreatment, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation, revised 06/05/25 and effective 07/01/25 revealed residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident/patient property. Care team members should immediately report all such allegations to the Administrator and to Department of Health (DOH) in accordance with the procedures in this policy. [The facility would ensure] all care team members would report all incidents and allegations of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation and misappropriation of resident/patient property, as well as notifying the Administrator, Director of Nursing, or charge nurse immediately upon identification of any new injuries. If a care team member is accused or suspected, the facility should immediately remove the care team member from the facility and schedule pending the outcome of the investigation. All incidents and allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment and misappropriation of resident/patient property and all injuries of unknown source must be reported immediately to the Administrator/designee and they should be notified in person, via telephone, text message or phone call. Once the Administrator and the Department of Health (DOH) are notified, an investigation of the alleged violation will be conducted. The person investigating the incident should generally take the following actions: Interview the resident/patient, the accused, and all witnesses. Witnesses generally include anyone who: witnessed or heard the incident, came in close contact with the resident the day of the incident (including the other patients/residents, family members) and employees who worked closely with the accused employees and/or alleged victim the day of the incident. If there are no direct witnesses, the interviews may be expanded. Consider interviews with all care team members on the shift or the unit as well as other residents/patients on the unit. If the allegation involves abuse/neglect interview other residents to determine if they may have been affected by the accused care team member. If the accused is a care team member, employment records are reviewed.If the facility suspects that a crime has been committed, it will report that suspicion to law enforcement. If the resident has serious bodily injury, law enforcement must be notified within two hours; without serious bodily injury, law enforcement must be notified within 24 hours.Facility will educate its care team members upon hire and annually thereafter regarding the facility's policy concerning abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident's property and training will include but not be limited to how to report knowledge related to allegations without fear of reprisal. Ensure resident and other residents are protected throughout the investigation. 365834 Page 9 of 30 365834 09/10/2025 Majestic Care of Kent 1290 Fairchild Avenue Kent, OH 44240

Resident #23 was dependent for dressing, personal hygiene and dressing and required partial/moderate assistance for rolling.Review of a SRI dated 07/27/25 and submitted to the State Agency (SA) at 4:23 P.M. revealed an allegation of staff to resident neglect involving Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #555, Resident #23 and Resident #49. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #536 informed the unit manager, UM/LPN #532, that CNA #561 expressed concern that CNA #555 who was working with her had yelled at and shook Resident #49 while dressing him in her presence. CNA #561 also reported that CNA #555 went into Resident #23's room and argued with him. The allegation was not reported to another agency. The facility determined the allegation of neglect to be unsubstantiated as Resident #23 refuted the allegation of verbal abuse and disputed information from CNA #561 could not be verified. Review of a timeline included in the facility's SRI investigation revealed on 07/27/25 (time not given), LPN #536 contacted UM/LPN #532 to report an allegation of abuse that was reported to her by CNA #561. CNA #561 reported that CNA #555 shook Resident #49 and yelled at him while they were dressing the resident (time not given). CNA #561 reported that CNA #555 had yelled out in a mocking manner saying okay, okay, okay which is what Resident #49 was known for repeating as he had limited verbalization due to his Alzheimer's diagnosis. It was reported that both CNAs then went to Resident #23's room (time not given) to assist with care. UM/LPN #532 instructed LPN #536 to ask CNA #555 to leave immediately (time not given) then go into Resident #23's room to ask about the reported allegation. Resident #23 denied concerns with staff, denied any CNA yelling or arguing with him and indicated he felt safe.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few have said okay, okay, okay but not in a mocking way but to repeat as that is how Resident #49 communicated. CNA #555 felt the allegations were false and may have been ignited the day before because she had to repeatedly ask where the other CNA [#561] was during that shift. SSD #559 met with Resident #23 who was resting. SSD #559 met with Resident #23 again on 07/30/25 who was resting and smiled when he asked how he was feeling.Review of an undated witness statement authored by CNA #561 revealed it was directed towards the facility's previous Human Resource Director (HRD), UM/LPN #532 and the DNS and revealed the following information: I am writing to formally report a situation that I believe violated workplace policies and may have impacted my sense of safety and professionalism on the job.

Then (no time given) the next patient [Resident #23] [CNA #555] argued with and I stepped in to diffuse the situation. The coworker cooled down but I reported this to two different nurses, UM/LPN #532 and the DNS.

I don't know why she would make accusations. I have spent 14 years working at the facility. There was another accusation in the past made by the resident (not specified) a few months ago. I put his [Resident #49's] shirt on. I did not shake him. I may have said ‘okay, okay,' but not to mock him - that's just how he communicates. I have never had a problem with the other CNA. I spent much of the day asking where the CNA was and the nurse (not specified) would say no. And I stated, ‘I haven't either.' I don't know, I have worked here a long time and would never abuse a resident. I don't do this job for the Administrator or the DNS, I do it for the person in the bed.Review of a witness statement dated 07/27/25 and authored by Registered Nurse (RN) #518 revealed the following information: I was approached by CNA #561 (time not given) and she told me that she was in the room with CNA #555 changing Resident #49.

I would like to add that I feel like CNA #561 was upset she was told by this nurse that she was working the 300 hall and the other CNA was working 400 hall by herself. I went in to speak to Resident #23 who stated nothing happened other than CNA #444 was moody and upset because she did not have any linen to do his bed bath. Additional writing present on LPN #536's statement that lacked a date and an author revealed that RN #518 reported to LPN #536 that something happened with CNA #555 between 9:30 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. which was late reporting and CNA #555 did an amazing job and never has issues.Review of a witness statement dated 07/27/25 and authored by LPN #578 denied witnessing abuse of any sort on 07/27/25 or any other days worked previously.Review of a witness statement dated 07/29/25 and authored by SSD #559 revealed she spoke with Resident #23 who was resting in bed and was alert and oriented times three.
