Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on resident and staff interviews, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure
the residents had had access to their personal funds outside of normal business hours and on weekends.
This affected one (Resident #9) of one resident reviewed for personal funds.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Review of Resident #9's admission record revealed Resident #9's admission date was 05/25/23. Review of
the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment date 04/04/25 revealed Resident #9 had intact cognition.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 10:12 A.M., Business Office Manager #100 stated she believed
residents went to the front desk during the week from 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. to request money from their
personal funds from either Receptionist #12 or Receptionist #13.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 10:23 A.M., Receptionist #12 stated the hours the residents could
receive money from their personal fund was Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Receptionist #12 stated on the weekends, the residents knew they could not obtain any of their money.
During an interview on 06/11/25 at 11:35 A.M., Resident #9 stated they used to have a problem with getting
money with Former Administrator #140 and it typically took at least three days to get any of their requested
money. Resident #9 stated they had not asked for money outside of business hours because they knew
they could not get it if they wanted or needed it.
During an interview on 06/13/25 at 11:22 A.M., the Administrator stated she expected the residents to have
access to their personal funds seven days a week.

Business Office Manager, or his/her designee, is responsible for providing residents with receipts for
withdrawals and for requested or needed personal items when such funds are withdrawn from the
resident's personal funds account managed by the facility. The policy did not address when residents
should have access to their personal funds accounts or how personal funds were made available to
residents after hours and on weekends.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 2. Review of
the Resident #176's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/21/25. Diagnoses included
rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain syndrome, and fibromyalgia. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
dated [DATE], revealed Resident #176 had intact cognition.
Review of Resident #176's care plan revealed a focus area initiated 05/21/25, indicating the resident was at
risk for alteration in their comfort related to generalized pain, discomfort, fibromyalgia, chronic pain,
depression, and rheumatoid arthritis. Interventions directed staff to administer analgesia per orders and to
anticipate the resident's need for pain relief and to respond immediately to any complaints of pain.
Review of the SRI dated 05/27/25 revealed Resident #176's family expressed to hospital staff that a facility
staff member was rough and verbally mean to the resident. The facility notified the State Survey Agency of
the allegation of physical and emotional/verbal abuse on 05/27/25 at 3:59 P.M.
During an interview on 06/10/25 at 2:50 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated when she assessed
Resident #176's skin on 05/23/25, the resident reported that on the previous night shift, the staff were
rough when they repositioned them. The DON stated she treated this allegation more like a grievance
rather than an abuse allegation because she thought it was more related to resident care. The DON stated
when Resident #176 was at the hospital a few days later, their family member voiced concerns to the
hospital case manager related to abuse and care received in the facility on 05/23/25. Per the DON, once
the hospital staff notified the facility of the abuse allegation on 05/27/25, the facility reported the allegation
of abuse to the State Survey Agency.
During a follow-up interview on 06/13/25 at 10:09 A.M., the DON stated she expected staff to report any
allegation of abuse immediately. The DON stated she did not feel like Resident #176's concern of staff
being too rough with them was an allegation of abuse because of the resident's history having pain. The
DON thought it was more of a care concern and that staff needed to take their time when they repositioned
the resident.
During an interview on 06/13/25 at 10:34 A.M., the Administrator stated she expected all staff to report any
allegations of abuse or neglect, then she had two hours to submit the initial report to the State Survey
Agency. When Resident #176 reported to the DON that the night shift staff were rough with them, she
followed up with the resident and addressed their concerns. The Administrator stated the resident used the
key word rough but did not allege abuse the previous night, so they did not report the allegation. The
Administrator stated that when the hospital notified her that Resident #176 alleged facility staff were
physically rough with them, that was when they submitted the initial report to the State Survey Agency.
Review of the facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation with a copyright date of 2025, indicated
the facility will have written procedures that included reporting of all alleged violations to the Administrator,
state agency, adult protective services and to all other required agencies within specified timeframes: a.
Immediately, but not later than twp hours after the allegation is made, if the event that cause the allegation
involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or b. Not later than 24 hours if the events that cause the
allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury.

The facility census was 80.
Findings included:
1. Review of Resident #7's medical record revealed an admission date of 04/21/23. Diagnoses included
Alzheimer's disease, dementia with agitation, dementia with psychotic disturbance, and cognitive

Review of the Resident #7's progress notes, electronically signed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #5
and dated 03/04/25 at 7:38 A.M., indicated the resident was attacked by another resident (Resident #276)
with an eye glass case on the right side of their head. Resident #7 was heard screaming and stated, I just
got hit with eye glasses by this [man/woman] (Resident #276) standing next to me. Resident #7 was
immediately assessed and no injury was noted, but the resident complained of pain to the right side of their
head and as needed Tylenol (treats mild pain) was administered as requested. The physician, resident
family, and management were made aware.
Review of Resident #276's medical record revealed an admission date of 03/08/24 with a diagnosis of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#276 had severe cognitive impairment.
The progress note, electronically signed by LPN #5 and dated 03/04/25 at 7:16 A.M., indicated Resident
#276 walked to another resident (Resident #7) and attacked them with an eye glass case in the head. LPN
#5 immediately assisted Resident #276 to a different location and educated the resident not to hit other
residents with an eye glass case. The physician, resident family, and management were made aware.
Review of the facility's SRI from 03/04/25 to 06/11/25 revealed the facility did not report the physical abuse
allegation between Resident #276 and Resident #7 to the State Survey Agency.
During an interview on 06/12/25 at 9:36 A.M., LPN #5 stated that on the day of the incident (03/04/25),
Resident #7 sat in the television room and yelled at Resident #276. Resident #276 responded to Resident
#7 by hitting them on their head with their eyeglasses case. LPN #5 stated she reported the incident to risk
management immediately after the incident occurred.
During an interview on 06/12/25 at 1:25 P.M., Former Administrator #140 stated he did remember the
incident between Resident #276 and Resident #7. Former Administrator #140 stated Resident #7 was very
territorial and always had to feel in charge. Former Administrator #140 stated he believed the incident had
been reported to the State Survey Agency.
During an interview on 06/12/25 at 10:38 A.M., the Administrator verified the facility had not submitted a
facility-reported incident to the State Survey Agency following the incident between Resident #276 and
Resident #7 on 03/04/2025.

During an interview on 06/13/25 at 10:10 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the management team
was initially told that if two cognitively impaired residents did not know what they were doing and had an
altercation, the facility could just separate the residents involved and do nothing further. The DON stated
she learned any time there was a physical altercation between two residents even if the residents were
cognitive impaired, the altercation had to be reported. The DON stated her expectation was any sort of
perception of abuse by a staff member or resident-to-resident, no matter how big or small, the allegation
would be reported immediately.
During a follow-up interview on 06/13/25 at 10:36 A.M., the Administrator stated the time frame to report an
allegation of abuse was immediately or within two hours.

staff interview, record review, review of Self-Reported Incidents (SRI) and time cards, and facility policy
review, the facility failed to immediately protect the resident(s) from the alleged perpetrator(s) when a
resident reported an allegation of staff-to-resident physical abuse. This affected one (Resident #176) of five
residents reviewed for abuse.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings included:
Review of the Resident #176's medical record revealed an admission date of 05/21/25. Diagnoses included
rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain syndrome, and fibromyalgia. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment

staff member was rough and verbally mean to the resident.
Review of time cards for the timeframe 05/22/25 to 05/27/25 revealed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #3
worked in the facility from 7:14 P.M. on 05/22/25 to 7:19 A.M., on 05/23/25, from 8:05 P.M. on 05/23/25 to

allegation of abuse, and the facility should immediately suspend the alleged perpetrator pending
investigation. The DON verified CNA #3 and RN #4 were not immediately suspended following the initial
allegation on 05/23/25 but were suspended once the facility was notified by the hospital of the allegation on
05/27/25. The DON verified CNA #3 and RN #4 worked in the facility between 05/23/25 and 05/27/25 but

intellectual disability, or a related condition will be referred promptly to the state mental health or intellectual
disability authority for a level II resident review.
