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, facility documents, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the
facility failed to make certain residents were free from emotional trauma for two of six residents (Residents
R2 and R5) and neglect to provide goods and services of changing a brief to one of three residents
(Resident R7).
Findings include:
Review of the facility Abuse Policy dated 3/1/23, indicated residents have the right to be free of abuse and
neglect. The policy defined verbal abuse as any use of oral, written, or gestured language that willfully
includes disparaging and derogatory terms to residents or their families, within hearing distance, to
describe residents, regardless of their age, ability to comprehend, or disability. The policy defined neglect
as the failure of the facility, its employees or service providers, to provide goods or services to a resident
that are necessary to avoid physical harm, pain, mental anguish, or emotional distress.
Review of the Nurse Aide (NA) Job Description dated 3/1/23, indicated the nurse aide will attend to the
individual needs of the resident, which may include assistance with transferring and ambulation.
Review of the Resident Assessment Instrument 3.0 User's Manual effective October 2019, indicated that a
Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)assessment is a screening test that aides in detecting cognitive
impairment). The BIMS total score suggests the following distributions:
13-15: cognitively intact
8-12: moderately impaired
0-7: severe impairment
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - periodic assessment of resident's care needs) dated 6/7/23,
revealed diagnoses of diabetes (a metabolic disorder in which the body has high sugar levels for prolonged
periods of time), a seizure disorder, and psychosis (collection of symptoms that affect the mind, where
there has been some loss of contact with reality). Section C: Cognitive Patterns indicated that a BIMS
assessment was unable to be performed due to Resident R1 being rarely/never understood.
