Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, select facility policy and investigative reports, and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that one resident out of 15 sampled was free from verbal and
mental abuse (Resident A1).
Findings include:
A facility policy titled Abuse, dated as reviewed by the facility April 17, 2024, revealed that that it is the
facility policy that each resident will be free from abuse. Abuse can include verbal and mental abuse. The
facility policy defines verbal abuse as the use of oral, written, or gestured language that willfully includes
disparaging and derogatory terms to residents or their families or within their hearing distance, regardless
of their age, ability to comprehend, or disability. Examples of verbal abuse include, but are not limited to:
threats of harm; saying things to frighten a resident, such as telling a resident that he will never be able to
see his family again. Mental abuse was defined as the use of verbal or nonverbal conduct that causes or
has the potential to cause the resident to experience humiliation, intimidation, fear, shame, agitation, or
degradation. Examples of mental and verbal abuse include, but are not limited to: harassing a resident;
mocking, insulting, and ridiculing; yelling or hovering over a resident with the intent to intimidate; and
threatening residents.
A clinical record review revealed Resident A1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included polyosteoarthritis (a condition when at least five joints are affected by inflammation) and bilateral
below-knee leg amputations.
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated May 31, 2024 revealed that
Resident A1 is cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 (Brief Interview for Mental Status- a tool within the
Cognitive Section of the MDS that is used to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to
register and recall new information; a score of 13-15 indicates cognition is intact).
A witness statement dated June 18, 2024, revealed that Resident A1 was re-interviewed in response to an
allegation of verbal abuse by Employee 3 that occurred on June 8, 2024. Resident A1 reported that he had
an argument with Employee 3, Nurse Aide (NA). Resident A1 indicated that Employee 3, told the resident
I'll drag your no-leg ass out that chair and I'm the one who comes in your room every day while you're
sleeping, you could wake up dead.
A review of a witness statement dated June 18, 2024, provided by Employee 3, NA, indicated that on June
8, 2024, Resident A1 approached her outside the nursing station and stated that he did not want her to
bring water, food, or anything into his room. Employee 3, NA, indicated that Resident A1 threatened her.
Employee 3, NA, stated, I was very upset with him threatening me. If I said things inappropriate, I really
don't remember.
A review of a witness statement dated June 18, 2024, provided by Employee 5, NA, revealed that on June
8, 2024, she heard Employee 3 and Resident A1 arguing around 4:00 AM. Employee 5, NA, explained that
the argument was going on for a few minutes when she walked toward the altercation. Employee 5 stated

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, the facility's abuse prohibition policy, facility investigation reports, and resident
and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to timely report the witnessed abuse of one resident
out of 15 sampled (Resident A1) to the State Survey Agency.
Findings include:
A facility policy titled Abuse, dated as reviewed by the facility on April 17, 2024, indicated that abuse
allegations are reported per federal and state law. The facility will ensure that all alleged violations involving
abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment are reported immediately, but no later than 24 hours if the
events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury, to the
administrator of the facility and to other officials, including the State Survey Agency. Employees must
always report any abuse or suspicion of abuse immediately to the administrator. Verbal abuse is defined as
the use of oral, written, or gestured language that willfully includes disparaging and derogatory terms to
residents or their families or within their hearing distance, regardless of their age, ability to comprehend, or
disability. Examples of verbal abuse include, but are not limited to: threats of harm; saying things to frighten
a resident, such as telling a resident that he will never be able to see his family again. Mental abuse is
defined as the use of verbal or nonverbal conduct that causes or has the potential to cause the resident to
experience humiliation, intimidation, fear, shame, agitation, or degradation. Examples of mental and verbal
abuse include, but are not limited to: harassing a resident; mocking, insulting, and ridiculing; yelling or
hovering over a resident with the intent to intimidate; and threatening residents.

mental and verbal abuse and was subsequently terminated from employment on June 20, 2024.
A witness statement provided by Employee 7, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), indicated that on June 15,

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a
review of clinical records, select facility incident reports and the facility's abuse prohibition policy and
resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to timely and thoroughly investigate an
injury of unknown source to rule out abuse, neglect or mistreatment for one of 15 residents sampled
(Resident CR1) and failed to promptly conduct a thorough investigation into the witnessed abuse
perpetrated by Employee 3, and failed to protect residents from the potential for further abuse during the
course of the investigation into the abuse of one resident (Resident A1) out of the 15 sampled residents.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
A review of the facility's Abuse Prohibition Policy last reviewed April 17, 2024, indicated that the objective of
the abuse policy is to comply with the seven-step approach to abuse and neglect detention and prevention.
Verbal abuse is defined as the use of oral, written, or gestured language that willfully includes disparaging
and derogatory terms to residents or their families or within hearing distance, regardless of their age, ability
to comprehend, or disability. Mental abuse is defined as the use of verbal or nonverbal conduct which
causes or has the potential to cause the resident to experience humiliation, intimidation, fear, shame,
agitation, or degradation.
Injuries of Unknown Origin include that the source of the injury was not observed by any person or the
source of the injury could not be explained by the resident; the injury is suspicious because of the extent of
the injury or the location of the injury (e.g., the injury is located in an area not vulnerable to trauma) or the
number of injuries observed at one particular point in time or the incidence of injuries over time.
It is the policy of this facility that reports of abuse are promptly and thoroughly investigated. The designated
facility personnel will begin the investigation immediately. A root cause investigation and analysis will be
completed. The information gathered is given to administration. Employees accused of abuse will be
immediately removed from the facility and will remain removed pending the results of a thorough
investigation.
A review of Resident CR1's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease and osteopenia (reduced bone density which can make
bones weaker and increases risk for fracture). Resident CR1 was placed on Hospice on June 5, 2024.
Resident CR1 expired at the facility on June 25, 2024.
Review of Resident C1's significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated standardized
assessment process completed periodically to plan resident care), dated May 10, 2024, indicated the
resident was moderately cognitively impaired with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score of 9 (a
score of 8- 12 indicates moderately impaired), displayed physical and verbal behaviors, and required two
plus persons physical assistance for bed mobility and transfers.
Review of a nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 9:42 AM revealed Employee 1 (RN Unit Manager) was
called to Resident C1's room by Employee 2 (nurse aide). The resident's left lower shin appeared to be
freely moving, not warm to touch, no redness noted, and resident was grimacing and yelling in

pain. As needed Tylenol given as ordered. Call to CRNP (certified registered nurse practitioner) with order
for STAT x-ray to left lower extremity.
A nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 10:54 AM indicated that the x-ray was completed and the resident
had a tibia-fibula fracture (broken bones in the lower leg). Call to CRNP. Physician order to transfer resident
to emergency room. Resident Representative aware.
A nurses note dated June 15, 2024, at 12:29 PM indicated that a call was received from the emergency
room physician reporting that the resident has obvious fracture but is not a surgical candidate. A nurses
note dated June 15, 2024, at 8:29 PM indicated that the resident returned from the emergency room with
splint on the left leg.
Review of Resident CR1's Documentation Survey Report for June 2024 revealed that on June 14, 2024, on
the 11:00 PM shift to 7:00 AM shift the resident was dependent for bed mobility and required the assistance
of two staff and for toileting the resident required assist times two staff with a passive lift (full mechanical
lift). At 2:16 AM (on June 15, 2024, prior to finding Resident CR1's fracture) Employee 3 (nurse aide)
signed off that only one staff member was used for bed mobility and at 2:14 AM and signed off only one
staff member was used for toileting the resident.
Review of Employee 3 (nurse aide) witness statement dated June 15, 2024, regarding the injury revealed
that she did not notice anything with the resident's legs and that the resident was already in bed, was not
transferred and did not scream out or anything. Further review of the witness statement revealed no
documented evidence of any care she provided to the resident despite the employee signing off on the
resident's Documentation Survey Report as to providing bed mobility and toileting of the resident on that
shift.
Review of the facility's Incident Report dated June 15, 2024, and concluded June 18, 2024, indicated that
per statements and nurses notes the resident had displayed behaviors such as removing clothes, yelling,
agitation, hitting, the wall, leaning over Broda chair (wheelchair which can tilt and recline), grabbing at staff.
The interdisciplinary team concluded that the resident's behaviors along with diagnosis of osteopenia could
have contributed to the leg fracture. The facility failed to identify that Employee 3 documented providing
care to the resident during the prior shift, without the assistance of another person.
However, further review of the Employee 3's (nurse aide) witness statement failed to indicate what care she
provided for the resident during the shift related to her signing the resident's Documentation Survey Report
indicating that only one staff member was used for assisting the resident with bed mobility at 2:16 AM on
June 15, 2024.
The facility failed to implement its established procedures in response to an injury of unknown origin, a
fracture, by failing to conduct a thorough investigation to rule out potential abuse, neglect, or mistreatment
of the resident as a potential cause of this serious injury.
An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on July 2, 2024, at approximately 1:00 PM
confirmed that the facility could not provide documented evidence that the facility fully investigated Resident
CR1's injury of unknown origin (left tibia/fibula fracture).
A clinical record review revealed Resident A1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included polyosteoarthritis (a condition when at least five joints are affected by

F 0908
Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that essential
resident care equipment, a sit-to-stand lift, was in safe operating condition.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
Observation of the second floor B wing residents lounge area on July 2, 2024, at 10:35 AM, in the presence
of the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed one out of the three facility sit-to-stand lifts was not operating
properly.
Observation revealed that the adjustable leg base of the sit-to-stand lift is designed to extend open to
accommodate positioning around a toilet, recliner chair, wheelchairs and obstacles, and to provide a wider
base of support when transferring a resident from one location to another. Observation revealed that the left
leg of the base would not move when activated by the electronic controller.
Interview with the DON on July 2, 2024, during the time of the observation, revealed that the facility failed to
maintain essential resident equipment in a safe operating condition.
