Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal
possessions.
Based on facility policy, investigation reports, clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined the
facility failed to ensure residents are treated with respect and dignity for one of three residents reviewed
(Resident 1).Findings include: Review of facility policy, titled Quality of life -Dignity, with revision date of
August 2009, indicated; Residents shall be treated with dignity and respect at all times. Treated with dignity
means the resident will be assisted in maintaining and enhancing his or her self-esteem and self-worth.
Review of the clinical record for Resident 1 reveled diagnoses that included dementia (a group of conditions
characterized by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory loss and judgement) with
behavioral disturbance and adult failure to thrive (a syndrome characterized by unexplained weight loss,
muscle wasting, and functional decline). Review of Resident 1 Quarterly MDS (periodic assessment of
resident health, functional status, and needs) dated July 16, 2025, revealed the Resident had a brief
interview of mental status (BIMS) and scored a 10, indicating moderately impaired cognitive status. Review
of Resident 1's care plan had a focus area that stated the Resident had the potential to demonstrate
verbally abusive behaviors related to dementia with behaviors and paranoia (an unrealistic trust of others or
a feeling of being persecuted). A review of the facility reported event dated August 26, 2025, revealed
Employee 1 went into Resident 1's room to provide incontinence care. Employee 3 was not present in the
room, but could hear Resident 1 yelling at Employee 1 and requested Employee 2 to assist Employee 1.
Employee 2 (Nurse Aide) provided a written statement to Administration stating that when he entered
Resident 1's room, the Resident was scratching and hitting Employee 1. Employee 2 added that Employee
1 (Nurse Aide) had her hand raised above her head as if to strike Resident 1. Employee 2 added that
Employee 1 lowered her hand when he entered the room. Employee 2 also added in the written statement
that Resident 1 said to Employee 1 go ahead and hit me. Employee 2 stated that he assisted Employee 1 to
secure Resident 1's brief and both staff left Resident 1's room. Employee 2 reported the event to
Administration on August 26, 2025, immediately upon leaving Resident 1's room. The Registered Nurse
assessed Resident 1, no new skin issues were identified. Employee 4 also notified the Resident
Representative and physician. The facility did report the event to the appropriate agencies. Employee 1 was
terminated from the facility due to being within her 90 days of hire and during interview with Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA) was not receptive of reapproaching a resident later who is combative. Resident 1 was
unable to be interviewed by NHA regarding the event due to periods of confusion and a cognitive
communication deficit. The surveyor attempted to interview Resident 1on September 4, 2025, at 11:30 AM,
regarding the event but Resident 1 just stared and then closed her eyes. A response from the Director of
Nursing on September 4, 2025, was there was no physical abuse. The said employee did not actually hit
the resident; there was no mental anguish or anything. During an interview with the NHA on September 5,
2025, at 2:00 PM, the NHA agreed that when Resident 1 became combative during care, Employee 1
should have left the room and reapproached at a later time. 28
