**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, resident record review, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed
to provide a trauma survivor with trauma informed care to eliminate or mitigate triggers that may cause
re-traumatization of the resident for two of two residents (Resident R36, and R84).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:

and symptoms of trauma in residents, and incorporates knowledge about trauma into care plans, policies,
procedures and practices to avoid re-traumatization.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R36 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R36's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a periodic assessment of care needs) dated 7/26/24,
indicated diagnoses of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD- a disorder that develops when a person has
experienced or witnessed a scary, shocking, terrifying, or dangerous event), high blood pressure, and
chronic pain.
Review of Resident R36's care plan indicated that resident had PTSD but failed to identify what the triggers
were and how to avoid them.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R84 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R84's MDS dated [DATE], indicated diagnoses of PTSD, muscle weakness, and
difficulty in walking.

failed to identify PTSD triggers for Resident 36, and R84 in order to eliminate or mitigate any triggers that
may cause re-traumatization for these residents.
