Residents Affected - Few
Findings include: Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Diagnoses included dementia, depression, and anxiety. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #1 had severe cognitive impairment and required substantial/maximal assistance from staff to roll to the right and left side. Review of the facility's Self-Reported Incident (SRI) dated 11/06/23 revealed Resident #1's power of attorney (POA) (also Resident #1's grandson) reported an allegation of physical abuse towards Resident #1. The POA stated when watching the video of care provided to Resident #1 revealed on 11/04/23 (the facility had 11/04/23 but the video was marked 11/05/23), State Tested Nursing Aide (STNA) #317 repositioned Resident #1 in bed and resulted in Resident #1 hitting her head on the railing. STNA #317 did not console or check to see if Resident #1 was okay after Resident #1 hit her head on the railing during repositioning. The POA also reported STNA #317 was rough with getting Resident #1 dressed over the weekend (11/04/23 or 11/05/23) as well. STNA #317 received safe repositioning education, abuse, customer service, and adverse events. The abuse was unsubstantiated based off the review of the video and STNA #317's statement where the head bump on the railing was not intentional on 11/14/23. Further review of the facility's SRIs dated 10/122/23 revealed STNA #317 was mentioned as an alleged perpetrator in a physical abuse allegation towards another resident (Resident #102). As a result of the investigation dated 10/30/23, staff received education on how to safely transfer Resident #102. Review of the video clip from Resident #1's room dated 11/05/23 at 1:03 P.M. with Resident #1's POA revealed a nurse and STNA #317 transferred Resident #1 to her bed. The nurse leaves the room and STNA #317 pulls Resident #1's hip and right arm towards her and then Resident #1 hits her head on the siderail. Resident #1 stated ouch my head. STNA #317 does not respond to Resident #1's comment and continues to remove the Hoyer pad and does not reposition Resident #1 off the siderail. Resident #1's head was resting on the siderail when Resident #1 was turned over and Resident #1 told STNA #317 she would hit her and bite her. STNA #317 continued to remove the pad and did not check Resident #1's head for any injury.

Telephone interview on 11/08/23 at 12:33 P.M. with the POA revealed he has a video camera in Resident #1's room. On 11/05/23 at 1:03 P.M., Resident #1 was being cared for by STNA #317 and the STNA was being too rough. When the STNA #317 was rolling her over, Resident #1 hit her head on the siderail and yelled out Ouch that hurt my head. STNA #317 did not console Resident #1. STNA #317 just kept doing her care. The POA stated he went in the next day and spoke with Supervisor Registered Nurse (RN) #305 about the incident and showed her the video clip of the incident. RN #305 did not know anything about the incident of Resident #1 hitting her head on the siderail. RN #305 stated this was the first time she heard about the incident, STNA #317 had not reported the incident. Interview on 11/08/23 at 1:42 P.M. with RN #305 verified the POA showed her the video of Resident #1 being turned in bed and hitting her head on the siderail. STNA #317 did nothing and did not tell anyone of the incident immediately. RN #305 stated Resident #1's POA showed the video to her on Monday evening (11/06/23). When the POA told her of the incident, STNA #317 was suspended, she notified the Administrator, and started an investigation. RN #305 stated from her perception of the video, STNA #317 did not intentionally bump Resident #1's head. RN #305 stated the interview she had with STNA #317 revealed she did not think Resident #1 hit her head hard and may have turned her with more force than needed causing her to hit her head. RN #305 verified STNA #317 should have checked Resident #1 for an injury or should have asked her if she was ok. RN #305 verified STNA #317 should have reported the incident to the nurse immediately. Interview on 11/15/23 11:05 A.M. with STNA #317 revealed she was the aide taking care of Resident #1 on 11/05/23. STNA #317 stated she was removing the lift pad from under Resident #1 when she pulled Resident #1 towards her making Resident #1 hit her head on the bed. She did not think she hit her head very hard, and she did not see any red mark. STNA #317 stated she was busy and forgot to notify the nurse that Resident #1 hit her head on the siderail, and it slipped her mind to tell the nurses. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00147500.
