It was decided not to file a Self-Reported Incident (SRI) because it wasn't an allegation of abuse because Resident #53 said it wasn't abuse. It was more of a customer service concern. Interview on 01/04/24 at 10:33 A.M. with STNA #240 verified an incident occurred with Resident #53 on 11/10/23 which involved the events of 11/09/23 during a shower.

Ombudsman #294 indicated more details would be provided but it happened in the previous week, so the DON waited for Ombudsman #294 to provide more information.

Resident #53 verbalized statements such as staff not wanting to help or did not care for them but nothing specific just things were not done right.

What was gathered was Resident #53 wanted it done immediately. ADON #266 confirmed giving LPN #287 education and reported to the DON on 10/26/23. The DON agreed with providing LPN #287 education. With an allegation of abuse, we immediately separate people to make sure of no harm or injury from anyone being accused, and it is reported to the DON. Since Resident #53 requested LPN #287 bring her to me, they were separated, and Resident #53 was not fearful at the time. ADON #266 indicated if she was present during the incident, she would have separated them. ADON #266 stated not feeling the need to investigate because Resident #53 reported not feeling fearful and in danger.

F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Resident #53 felt in fear, ADON #266 would have made sure the abuse investigation was executed. ADON #266 stated the facility abuse policy and procedure was executed when a resident stated they were in fear, danger, or abused. ADON #266 indicated just going off residents' wording since they entrust in us. If a resident was not cognitively able to report, ADON #266 would look for witnesses and ask if they were mistreated. ADON #266 stated having to trust what was said to be correct. Residents Affected - Few Interview on 01/04/24 at 12:45 P.M. with the DON verified ADON #266 reported the incident on 10/26/23 with Resident #53. ADON #266 indicated talking to Resident #53 and was directed to do education. The abuse policy would not be implemented because Resident #53 and ADON #266 did not state it was abuse, only Resident #53 complained about tone. Interview on 01/04/24 at 12:55 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed being aware of both incidents with Resident #53. Resident #53 was interviewed regarding whether anything occurred, and Resident #53 stated nothing occurred. We started an investigation by talking to Resident #53 after receipt of the email on 11/13/23 to see if it was valid. Ombudsman #294 sent it four days after it happened and because it was so far back, we wanted to make sure it was an allegation. Ombudsman #294 stated to follow our process which was to investigate. We talk to residents with any allegation, and if a resident does not allege, then there is no allegation. The abuse policy was only implemented if a resident indicated abuse. An abuse allegation would be reported if a resident was not able to state it. The Administrator verified not being aware of the 10/26/23 incident with Resident #53 until the time of the survey. The Administrator stated it must be found out if it is abuse before initiating the policy. If a resident stated someone abused me, then it would be reported and investigated. Ombudsman #294 indicated to follow-up. I took it as to check first, so we talked to Resident #53 and determined it was not abuse. This was because Resident #53 stated it was not abuse, so Resident #53 did not make an allegation. We did not know where Ombudsman #294 received the information. Since Resident #53 was not stating being abused, then I am going to believe the resident. We did do an investigation. We talked to Resident #53. There must be discussion to determine whether it is reportable and whether it falls into those requirements, so I disagree with implementing the abuse policy because Resident #53 did not say she was abused. Review of the facility policy, Abuse, Neglect & Misappropriation, dated 05/25/23, revealed in the event an allegation was made, the facility would take measures to protect residents from harm during an investigation. An employee who is alleged or accused of being a party to abuse, would be immediately removed from the area of resident care, interviewed by facility leadership for a written statement and not left alone after completing the statement. The employee would be asked to vacate the facility until further investigation of the incident was completed, and the employee would be notified of the findings of the investigation. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00149488. 365991 Page 4 of 8 365991 01/04/2024 Addison Healthcare Center 8055 Addison Road SE Masury, OH 44438

There must be discussion to determine whether it is reportable and whether it falls into those requirements, so I disagree with implementing the abuse policy because Resident #53 did not say she was abused. Review of the facility policy, Abuse, Neglect & Misappropriation, dated 05/25/23, revealed in the event an allegation was made, the facility would make accurate and timely reporting of incidents both alleged and substantiated to officials in accordance with the state law. All alleged violations involving abuse are reported immediately, but not later than two hours after the allegation is made, for those alleged violations that do not result in serious bodily injury, the facility must report the allegation no later than 24 hours. The results of the facility's investigation must be reported to the survey agency. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00149488. 365991 Page 8 of 8
