A review of SRI tracking number 235507 dated 05/30/23 indicated the charge nurse (unnamed) heard yelling from the north day room.

#91 entered Resident #77's room through the shared bathroom connecting the two rooms. Resident #91 had difficulty navigating a path through the room and became frustrated and hit Resident #77 on the back of the head. Resident #91 then proceeded to exit the room without exchanging any words. MHC #198 reported the incident to the staff and completed a witness statement regarding the incident. Review of the facility Abuse Prevention Program policy, revised December 2016, revealed residents had the right to be free from abuse. The policy indicated the administration would protect residents from abuse by anyone, including facility staff and other residents. Review of the document titled Behavior Modification Program, revised 05/2022, revealed the program was designed to reward good behaviors. Positive behaviors were awarded points, and negative behaviors result in a deduction of points. Each resident had a separate point card. Points could be redeemed for smoke breaks or an account credit. Points were lost for instances that included physical or verbal abuse, refusing ancillary services, or inappropriate touching. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint number OH00146133.
Based on observation, record review, review of facility Self-Reported Incidents (SRIs), local police report review, review of the facility's Abuse policy and procedure and interviews, the facility failed to ensure Resident #28 was free from resident-to-resident physical abuse. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and actual harm beginning on 08/28/23 at 4:30 P.M., when Resident #37, who was cognitively intact and known to be verbally and physically aggressive, was observed by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #123 entering Resident #28's room, where he squeezed Resident #28's hands in a forceful manner. Resident #28, who was non-verbal, was heard screaming in pain, LPN #123 responded and removed Resident #37 from Resident #28's room. Resident #28 was assessed to have bilateral hand edema, bruising and pain. X-rays of Resident #28's hands revealed Resident #28 had a left (hand) fifth proximal phalanx (finger) fracture and fractures to the right hand second through fifth proximal phalanges (fingers). The resident was subsequently transported to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. Following the incident, the facility failed to develop and implement effective and planned safety measures to protect Resident #28 and other residents from situations of abuse by Resident #37. The lack of adequate and necessary supervision and interventions for Resident #37 placed all residents at risk for actual harm or serious life-threating injuries up to and including death as a result of resident-to-resident abuse. On 09/10/23 State Testing Nursing Assistant (STNA) #114 reported to LPN #174 a verbal confrontation between Resident #37 and Resident #47. Resident #37 attempted to push Resident #47 into his bathroom. Resident #47 was able to grab the door handle to prevent Resident #37 pushing him in the bathroom after Resident #37 entered his room. On 09/10/23 Resident #76 was heard saying stop squeezing my hand and Resident #37 was observed in the day room squeezing Resident #76's hands. On 09/11/23 at a beverage break, Resident #37 had a physical altercation with Resident #85, where Resident #37 was antagonizing Resident #85 by preventing him and blocking him from moving out of the area. Additionally, the facility failed to prevent additional situations of resident-to-resident abuse that did not rise to the level of an Immediate Jeopardy for Residents #45 and #77 who were abused by Resident #91 and for Resident #46 who was abused by Resident #85. This affected seven residents (#28, #45, #46, #47, #76, #77 and #85) reviewed for resident-to-resident abuse and had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility who Resident #37 could potentially have contact with. The facility census was 91. On 09/14/23 at 1:49 P.M. the Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) were notified Immediate

Jeopardy began on 08/28/23 at approximately 4:30 P.M. when Resident #28 was physically abused by Resident #37 when Resident (#37) forcefully squeezed Resident #28's hands causing swelling, bruising, pain and bone fractures and the safety measures put in place to protect Resident #28 and other residents were not thoroughly and timely implemented or effective. The Immediate jeopardy was removed on 09/14/23 when the facility implemented the following corrective action: On 09/13/23 at 5:34 P.M. Resident #37's physician was notified of Resident #37's behaviors with no new orders. Resident #37's physician deferred to psychiatry. On 09/14/23 at 3:30 P.M. Resident #37 was moved to a private room. On 09/14/23 at 3:30 P.M. one-to-one staff monitoring was implemented for Resident #37. The one-on-one supervision was scheduled to continue for a duration of one week, after which time Resident #37 would be reassessed by the physician, psychiatrist, and the interdisciplinary team. Based on this assessment, a decision would be made regarding Resident #37's supervisory needs. On 09/14/23 at 3:42 P.M. the psychiatrist completed a medication review of Resident #37's medications and adjusted Resident #37's antipsychotic medication due to disruptive behaviors. On 09/14/23 at 4:00 P.M. Resident #37's care plan was updated to include an individualized behavior plan. The behavior plan addressed physical and verbal abuse, staying out of other residents' rooms, and the facility's behavior modification program. The behavior plan was signed by Resident #37, the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), Unit Manager Registered Nurse (UM RN) #180 and Social Service Assistant (SSA) #132 and was to be implemented immediately. On 09/14/23 at 5:30 P.M. the unit manager nurses audited all facility residents for similar behaviors and care plans were updated if needed. On 09/14/23 at 5:32 P.M. all staff were in-serviced through a web-based program on abuse, elder abuse and neglect: preventing, recognizing and reporting abuse; de-escalation strategies; and doing and completing in services. On 09/14/23 at 6:30 P.M. the unit manager nurses completed a facility wide audit for pain and injury for all residents. No concerns were identified. Starting on 09/18/23, Human Resources Coordinator (HRC) #135 or designee would audit in-service completion records weekly for the next four weeks. Following the weekly audits, HRC #135 would complete random monthly auditing of in-service completion for three months. Results of the audits would be reviewed monthly in Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings and an action plan implemented if not in compliance. Starting on 09/18/23, Director of Nursing (DON) or designee would audit incident reports and investigations weekly for the next four weeks. Following the weekly audits, the DON would complete monthly auditing of incident reports and investigations for three months. The audits were to include assurances that residents were protected from further occurrences and that corrective actions were implemented as necessary. The results of the audits would be reviewed monthly in QAPI meeting, and an action plan implemented if not in compliance.

Observations on 09/14/23 at 4:00 P.M., 09/18/23 at 7:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M. and 2:38 P.M. revealed a staff member was seated in Resident #37's room or directly outside Resident #37's room for one-to-one supervision. Review of staff schedules from 09/14/23 at 3:30 P.M. through 09/18/23 confirmed a staff member was assigned to always provide one to one supervision for Resident #37. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/14/23, the deficiency remained at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility is in the process of implementing their corrective action plan and monitoring to ensure continued compliance.
