eight residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 73.

[DATE]. The resident had diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia in other diseases classified
elsewhere, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, hallucinations, and unspecified psychosis not due
to a substance of known physiological condition, manic disorder, insomnia, cognitive disorder. On 05/12/23
intermittent explosive disorder diagnosis was added.

had severe cognition impairment and was rarely/never understood. His cognitive skills for daily decision
making were moderately impaired and his decisions were poor and he required supervision and cues. He
had disorganized thinking and inattention. He was short tempered, easily annoyed. He had physical
behavioral symptoms directed toward others four to six days a week and verbal symptoms directed towards
others one to three days a week. He put others at significant risk for physical injury and significantly
disrupted care or living environment. When asked if he had pain, he was not to be unable to answer. He
had taken antipsychotics, anti-anxiety, antidepressants, and opioids in the last seven days.
Review of Resident #73's plan of care dated 08/05/22 and revised on 09/23/22 revealed the resident
required a room on the secured memory care unit related to unaware of safety needs and to promote
psycho-social wellbeing due to dementia and wandering.
Review of Resident #73's situational/coping problem areas plan of care dated 03/21/23 revealed the
resident has mood and behavioral issues that could affect others related to cognitive deficits (poor
reasoning, poor judgement), mood distress, anger, anxiety, sadness, and insomnia. The resident's
interventions included to attempt diversional activities to alleviate anger/depression symptoms such as
allow the resident to wander in safe areas, one on one visits, music, offer food and snack. Intervene on an
incidental or episodic basis to re-direct behavior symptoms that impact others. Complete objective

that she knew eight people had bowel movements today. It was reported that STNA #300 comes in the
room with her arms crossed asking us what do you need now. The resident reported she overheard the girl
with pink hair tell another resident to shut up when he rang out to tell her that his roommate Resident #78
needed help to the bathroom.
Review of Former Resident #77's typed, unsigned statement dated 07/11/23 revealed Registered Nurse
(RN) #189 and RN #130 had spoken to Resident #77 with her husband present. Resident #77 stated that
last night around 11:00 P.M. or so that the aide with the pink hair (STNA #300) was on the warpath. The
aide was rude and yells at them (indicating her and her roommate). Resident #77 further stated that she
also overheard her yelling shut up, I'm not talking to you, stay out of this to the male resident that lives
across the hall. Resident #77 said she (STNA #300) comes in and says terrible things to her and her
roommate like we don't need your input and told her roommate that she wouldn't help her to the bathroom
because she has stinky urine. She said her roommate asked for coffee last night and she (STNA #300) told
her that the kitchen doesn't open until 5:30-6:00 A.M. The aide then stated if you want it, you can go get it
yourself. The resident reported she felt the aide was very abusive, and you never know what will set her off.
If you say one thing she doesn't like, she turns. Resident #77 reported the aide will throw bags around
when she is in the mood and is intimidating.
Review of Former Resident #76's typed, unsigned statement dated 07/11/23 revealed RN #189 and RN
#130 had spoken to Resident #76 and confirmed the aide with pink hair told her she had stinky urine and
she never heard of anyone having that problem. Th aide told her Your urine stinks and I've never smelled
anything so bad in my life. Resident #76 reported she overheard STNA #300 talking about someone having
eight bowl movements and told the aide she might want to let the nurse know. The aide responded, We
don't need your information; we are experienced, and we don't need to hear from you. Resident #76 further
stated the aide treated the men up the hall terrible. The resident confirmed the aide will throw bags around
all night when she's wound up. Resident #76 felt the aide was verbally abusive.
Review of Former Resident #78's typed, unsigned statement dated 07/11/23 revealed RN #189 and RN
#130 had spoken to Resident #78 and confirmed last night, the aide with the pink hair (STNA #300) told
him to shut up a couple of times. He was just trying to get help of his roommate. He stated that she comes
in and tells us what you're going to do and how to do it. Per Resident #78's statement, she will tell him if you
don't do it my way, I'll leave you here. The resident reported she did leave him during providing care once
during turning because he wasn't doing it the way she wanted. She did come back. Resident #78 denied
anything physical in her abuse and stated he feels she was verbally abusive.
Review of STNA #166's written signed statement dated 07/11/23 revealed last night during report she
heard Resident #76 say to let the nurse know she pooped. STNA #300 replied rudely to the resident we
know how to do our jobs; we don't need resident's help. The STNA walked away saying I get so sick and
tired of her butting in when I'm trying to do my job. STNA #166 identified that she reported this to the nurse.
An addendum was handwritten on the bottom of STNA #166's statement from RN #189 that indicated upon
speaking to STNA #166, she stated that the nurse was at the medication cart with her back to her when
she had mentioned STNA #300 was rude to a female resident and maybe the nurse didn't hear her. Staff
was educated to get verification from the nurse that the information was received, and it was also ok to
report to the Director of Nursing (DON) and ADON.

with resulting in physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Verbal abuse was the use of oral, written, or
gestured language that willfully includes despairing and derogatory term to residents or their families, or
within hearing distance, to describe residents, regardless of age disability, or ability to comprehend. The
accurate and timely reporting of the incidents, both alleged and substantiated, will be sent to the official in
accordance with the state law. If the alleged violation was verified, appropriate corrective action would be
taken by the facility. In the event of alleged abuse involves a resident-to-resident altercation, the resident
would be placed in separate area by staff and the appropriate physical assessment would be completed on
each resident. Documentation of the facts and findings would be completed in each resident medical
record. Aggressive residents may be placed in a quiet area to reduce stimulation. The physician would be
notified of each resident as well as the representative. Update the care plan and complete any appropriate
referrals for the physician that may include mental health assessment.
