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, the facility's abuse prohibition policy, and select facility incident reports and staff
interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that two residents out of 10 residents sampled
were free from physical abuse (Residents A2 and A3 ) perpetrated by another resident (Resident A1).
Findings include:
Review of a facility policy entitled Abuse Policy - PA dated as reviewed August 14, 2023, defined abuse as
the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation or punishment with resulting physical
harm, pain, or mental anguish. Abuse also includes the deprivation by an individual, caretaker, of goods or
services that are necessary to attain or maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Abuse
includes verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse. Willful, as used in this definition of
abuse, means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to
inflict injury or harm. The facility's abuse policy indicated that it was the policy of the facility that each
resident would be free from abuse. Additionally, residents will be protected from abuse, neglect, and harm
while they are residing at the facility and that abuse or harm of any type would not be tolerated, and
residents and staff would be monitored for protection. The facility would strive to educate staff and other
applicable individuals in techniques to protect all parties. Further review of the abuse policy indicated that
the facility's population presented as a factor that could result in maltreatment of residents such as
residents with cognitive deficits, sensory deficits, aggressive behaviors, residents who have behaviors such
as entering other residents' rooms, wandering behaviors, socially inappropriate behaviors, verbal outbursts,
and residents with communication deficits. Additionally, the facility would ensure a comprehensive dementia
management program to prevent resident abuse, if applicable.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident A1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of
DEGENERATIVE DISEASE OF NERVOUS SYSTEM, ALCOHOL USE, UNSPECIFIED WITH
ALCOHOL-INDUCED PERSISTING DEMENTIA, and ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE WITH EARLY ONSET.
An quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident was severely, cognitively impaired,
exhibited physical and verbal symptoms towards others, spoke only Spanish and required staff assistance
with activities of daily living.
A nurses note dated January 5, 2024, at 08:40 AM revealed that a nurse was in the hallway passing meds
and heard a female resident (Resident A3) yelling at Resident A1. Resident A3 attempted to physically
strike Resident A1 while she was yelling at him. Resident A1 became upset and yelled back at Resident A3
and struck her in the left shoulder/upper arm. The residents were immediately separated, 1:1 was provided
to these residents.
A review of a facility investigation dated January 5, 2024, at 4:45 P.M. revealed that another incident had
occurred on this same date, involving Resident A3 and A1. Resident A3 was walking down the hallway
when Resident A1 struck her on the left side of her face. Resident A3 stated that she did not see Resident
A1 due to her blindness in her right eye and bumped into him. Resident A3 stated that Resident A1 then
pushed her into the wall and punched her.

saw Resident A1 behind the door with Resident A3 in front of him, with her back up against the bathroom
door.
A review of a witness statement dated February 1, 2024, employee 1 (LPN) stated this nurse was at the
nurses station when I heard a resident yelling in Spanish and a women's voice yelling help me, help me
coming from down the hall. The yelling came from Resident A3's room. When I went to open the door, it
only opened not quite one half way. I squeezed through the door. When I got through the door, I saw
Resident A1 behind the door standing in front of Resident A3 who had her back up against the bathroom
door. Resident A1 was removed from the room and away from Resident A3.
A review of a nurses note dated February 1, 2024 3:05 P.M. revealed that nursing noted This nurse was at

from inside room [ROOM NUMBER]. When I went to open the door it only opened not quite half way. I
squeezed through the door. When I got through the door I saw Resident A1 behind the door standing in
front of another resident (Resident A3)who had her back up against the bathroom door. I immediately
began redirecting Resident A1 away from the other resident.
The intervention implemented following the incident was to place Resident A1 on 1 to 1 supervision.
Interview with the administrator on February 15, 2024 at 3:00 PM confirmed that the facility failed to
consistently monitor intrusive wandering and adequately supervise Resident A1 whereabouts and behavior
to prevent physical abuse of other residents including Residents A2 and A3.

well-being and safety.

confirmed the facility had not updated the resident's care plan for behaviors from July 2023, until February
2, 2024, when the facility placed the resident on 1:1 supervision after an altercation with another resident,

Provide medically-related social services to help each resident achieve the highest possible quality of life.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of clinical records, and resident and staff interview, it was revealed that the facility failed
to provide therapeutic social services to promote the mental and psychosocial well-being of one resident
out of 10 sampled (Resident B1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident B1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses to include cerebral infarction.
A quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-standardized assessment completed at specific intervals
to identify specific resident care needs) dated November 28, 2023, revealed that the resident was
cognitively intact, with a BIMS score of 15 ( Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS section of the MDS
which assesses cognition, a tool to assess the resident's attention, orientation, and ability to register and
recall new information, a score of 13-15 equates to being Cognitively Intact).
The resident's care plan initially dated July 25, 2023, indicated that the resident hoards objects in her room
with potential conflict with other residents and staff. The goal was for the resident to have less episodes of
hoarding. Interventions include to assist the resident with more appropriate methods of coping and
interacting, were to encourage the resident to express feelings appropriately, if reasonable discuss the
resident's behavior, explain/reinforce why the behavior is inappropriate and/or unacceptable to the resident,
intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others, inform resident that the behavior is not
acceptable and suggest appropriate ways to express self.
Observation of Resident B1's room (a four-bedded room he shared with other residents) on February 15,
2024, at 1:30 PM revealed multiple boxes filled with the resident's belongings and other accumulated items
directly on the floor surrounding the resident's bed. During interview with Resident B1 the resident stated
that she was fine and did not want to discuss the excessive amount of items accumulated in her room.
At the time of the survey ending February 15, 2024, there was no documented evidence that the facility
was providing therapeutic social services to addressing the resident's hoarding behavior and had
implemented behavior modification plans.
There was no documented evidence of the provision of therapeutic social services developed and planned
to assist the resident with factors that may be contributing to the resident's hoarding. There was no
documented discussion of possibly placing some items in the facility's resident storage area which would
still allow Resident B1 to have access to her belongings in the facility.
During an interview on February 15, 2024, at approximately 3:00 PM, the administrator confirmed that
Resident B1's hoarding behavior is a concern. The administrator failed to provide documented evidence
that the facility consistently provided the necessary therapeutic social services to assist and support
Resident B1 with resolving her hoarding behavior to promote the resident's mental and psychosocial
well-being while helping to ensure the resident's room is maintained in an orderly and sanitary manner.
