**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of select facility policy and clinical records, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility
failed to timely notify the physician and the resident's representative of an incident with the potential to
require physician intervention and cause psychosocial harm to one resident out of 19 sampled (Resident
45).
Findings include:
A review of facility policy entitled Notification of Changes last reviewed January 2024, revealed that it is the
policy of the facility that a change in a resident's condition are to be shared with the resident's
representative and reported to the attending physician.
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
which included dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual
functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change,
resulting from organic disease of the brain).
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
which included hypertensive (high blood pressure) heart disease.
Further review of Resident 6's clinical record revealed a progress note dated January 15, 2024, at 4:57 PM
which indicated Resident 6 was in the dining room when he wheeled himself over to Resident 45, a female
resident, who was sitting at a table by herself. Staff observed Resident 6 touching Resident 45 under her
nightgown in the upper thigh area.
An interview with Employee 3, nurse aide, on April 24, 2024, at 2:19 PM revealed that Employee 3
witnessed Resident 6 with his hand up under Resident 45's nightgown and touching her in the upper thigh
area near her private area.
A review of Resident 45's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that the facility had notified the
resident's representative or attending physician that Resident 45 had been the victim of sexual abuse.
An interview with the Director of Nursing and Nursing Home Administrator on April 25, 2024, at
approximately 1:45 PM confirmed the facility failed to notify the resident's representative and attending
physician of the incident of sexual abuse.

and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of select facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility
failed to ensure that two residents (Resident 45 and 42) were free from sexual abuse perpetrated by one
resident (Resident 6) out of 19 sampled residents.
Findings include:
A review of the current facility policy entitled Abuse Prevention Program, last reviewed by the facility
January 2024, revealed that the residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of
resident property and exploitation.
A review of the facility policy entitled Identifying Types of Abuse last reviewed January 2024, revealed
sexual abuse is non-consensual sexual conduct of any type with a resident. Sexual abuse includes but is
not limited to unwanted intimate sexual touching of any kind especially to the breasts or perineal area.
Further it is indicated that sexual contact is non-consensual if the resident appears to want the contact to
occur but lacks the cognitive ability to consent.
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 45 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis
of dementia (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning,
especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change, resulting
from organic disease of the brain).
An Annual Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment process
completed periodically to plan resident care) dated January 3, 2024, revealed that the resident was
moderately cognitively impaired.
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 6 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with a diagnosis
of hypertensive heart disease. A review of a Quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE],
revealed that the resident was moderately cognitively impaired.

spoke with Resident 6 about his interactions with female residents and told Resident 6 that he will need to
refrain from touching female residents.
A nursing note dated January 6, 2024, at 5:12 PM revealed that Resident 6 was inappropriate with a peer.
Nursing noted on January 8, 2024, at 8:16 AM that a new order was obtained to monitor Resident 6 for
socially inappropriate behavior, sexual acts towards residents or staff, every shift, for inappropriate sexual
behaviors and provide additional details in the progress notes.
A review of a progress note dated January 15, 2024, at 4:57 PM revealed that Resident 6 was in the dining
room. Resident 6 wheeled himself over to another resident, a female resident, who was sitting at a table by
herself. Staff observed Resident 6 touching the other female resident (Resident 45) under her nightgown in
the upper thigh area and the RN (Registered Nurse) was made aware.

An interview with Employee 7, a nurse aide, on April 23, 2024, at approximately 1:15 PM revealed Resident
6 can be sexually inappropriate and needs to be told he cannot touch females, residents or staff. Employee
7 stated that she has seen the resident touch other female residents on the arms and hands. She stated
that he has touched her on her bottom before and he had to be told to stop, that it was not appropriate.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview with Employee 3, a nurse aide, on April 24, 2024, at 2:19 PM revealed that the employee
witnessed Resident 6 with his hand up under Resident 45's nightgown and touching her in the upper thigh
area, near her private area.
An interview with Employee 5, a nurse aide, on April 24, 2024, at 2:26 PM revealed the employee stated
that she was aware that Resident 6 had his hand up Resident 45's nightgown was touching her upper thigh
area, by her private area.
An interview with Employee 4, LPN (license practical nurse), on April 25, 2024, at 9:47 AM revealed that
this employee was coming down the hall with her medication cart and witnessed Resident 6 and Resident
45 seated at a dining room table. Employee 4 stated that she saw Resident 6's hand up Resident 45's
nightgown on her upper thigh area, by Resident 45's private area. The employee stated she made
Employee 6, RN Supervisor, aware of the incident.
An interview with Employee 6, RN, on April 25, 2024, at 11:06 AM revealed that she was called to the floor
the night the incident happened when staff observed Resident 6 inappropriately touching Resident 45 in a
sexual manner. Employee 6 stated that staff made her aware that Resident 6 had touched Resident 45
upper thigh area and she then made the Director of Nursing (DON) aware. Employee 6 stated that Resident
6's behaviors have been an ongoing concern, that administration was aware, and it is talked about in report
almost every day.
A review of Resident 45's clinical record revealed that the facility failed to document that Resident 45 was
touched in a sexual nature by Resident 6 on January 15, 2024.
Applying the reasonable person concept, in the case of Resident 45, who is unable to speak for herself,
and the assessment of how most people would react to the situation of being sexually abused by Resident
6, Resident 45 would have suffered psychosocial harm and humiliation.
The facility failed to fully investigate and report this incident of sexual abuse of Resident 45. The facility
failed to develop and implement necessary interventions for a resident with a known history of sexual
inappropriate behaviors to prevent the sexual abuse of Resident 45. The facility failed to develop and
implement interventions after the sexual abuse occurred to prevent further incidents of sexual abuse.
A review of behavior tracking for January 2024 revealed that on January 15, 2024, during the night shift and
January 16, 2024, during the day shift, staff documented that Resident 6 had continued to display sexually
inappropriate behaviors. There was no documentation in Resident 6's clinical record describing these
behaviors and to whom they were directed.
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
which included multiple sclerosis (nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A review of Resident 6's current comprehensive plan of care in effect at the time of the survey ending
revealed that the facility failed to address the resident's sexually inappropriate behaviors on the resident's
care plan and develop specific person centered interventions to manage the resident's behaviors and
protect other residents from sexual abuse.
Residents Affected - Some
A review of clinical record revealed that Resident 60 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses
which included hypertensive heart disease type 2 diabetes and orthopedic after care.
A review of the resident's Bowel and Bladder assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had
functional incontinence and was placed on a prompted voiding program. The resident was to be prompted
to toilet upon arising, before and after meals, and at bedtime.
A review of Resident 60's current comprehensive plan of care revealed that the facility failed to address the
resident's functional incontinence on the resident's care plan, and the interventions which included the
resident's prompted voiding program to treat and manage the resident's incontinence.
Review of Resident 61's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses to include pancreatic cancer, ischemic cardiomyopathy (the hearts decreased ability to
pump blood properly due to heart damage), atrial fibrillation (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that causes
poor blood flow), and the presence of an automatic implantable cardiac defibrillator (AICD- is a
microcomputer that is implanted under the skin of the upper chest area. It monitors heart rate and delivers
therapy in the form of small electrical pulses. An AICD is a permanent device inserted into the right
ventricle and typically placed near the collarbone under the skin of the chest).
Continued review revealed that the resident had a Mediport (port-a-cath; an implanted device designed to
permit repeated access to the venous system for the delivery of medications, fluids, and nutritional solution
and for the sampling of venous blood) in his right chest.
A review of Resident 61's current comprehensive plan of care revealed that the facility failed to address the
resident's care needs related to potential complications and the emergency care of the Mediport on the
resident's care plan. There was no documented evidence that the facility identified and addressed the
resident's care needs related to the AICD device as an area of focus with interventions to provide AICD
checks as ordered or to monitor for signs and symptoms of AICD complications. The facility failed to
address the emergency care of the AICD device and actions to be taken if the AICD was activated (i.e.,
consulting the physician, obtaining vital signs [clinical measurements, specifically pulse rate, temperature,
respiration rate, and blood pressure, that indicate the state of a patient's essential body functions] and
keeping the resident and staff safe from the electrical shock. The resident should notify staff if a shock is
felt, and staff should be aware not to touch resident is being shocked since the shock can be felt)
Review of Resident 14's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with diagnoses to include obstructive sleep apnea (intermittent airflow blockage during sleep), and
congestive heart failure (weakness of the heart that leads to build-up of fluid in the lungs and surrounding
body tissues).

Ensure meals and snacks are served at times in accordance with resident’s needs, preferences, and
requests. Suitable and nourishing alternative meals and snacks must be provided for residents who want to
eat at non-traditional times or outside of scheduled meal times.
Based on observation, review of facility scheduled meal times and select facility policy, and resident and
staff interviews the facility failed to ensure the provision of a nourishing (satisfying to the resident) evening
snack when greater than 14 hours elapsed from the supper meal to breakfast the next day for residents
including seven residents of 19 sampled (Residents 56, 27, 62, 6, 26, 21, and 28).
Findings include:
Review of the facility's Snacks Policy last reviewed January 2024, indicated that it is the facility policy to
provide bulk snacks and beverages to each resident care area for availability upon request, snacks as
identified in the individual plan of care, and bedtime (HS-hour of sleep) snacks to all residents.
Review of the facility's scheduled (not exact times may fluctuate +/- 15 minutes) meal times revealed 14
hours between the evening meal and the next day's breakfast meal.
During an interview on April 23, 2024, at 11:30 AM Resident 56 stated that he would like milk or coffee
before bed at times, and that evening snacks are not always offered.
During a group interview with six alert and oriented residents on April 24, 2024, at 11:00 AM, all six
residents (Residents 27, 62, 6, 26, 21, and 28 ) in attendance stated that snacks are not routinely offered to
them in the evenings. The residents stated they would like to receive an evening/bedtime snack. Resident
27 reported that when he has requested a snack, one is provided for him but if he does not ask, then none
is offered or received.
Observation of the resident pantry on the [NAME] Unit on April 25, 2024, at approximately 10:00 AM
revealed that snacks and beverages such as milk and juice were not available as reflected in the facility
policy which indicated that bulk snacks and beverages would be provided to each resident care area.
Interview with the foodservice director (FSD) on April 25, 2024, at 10:30 AM confirmed that due to the close
location of the kitchen to the nursing units that staff call or come to the kitchen when a snack is requested
during the day. The FSD confirmed that snacks are sent each evening for nursing staff to offer to each
resident.
During an interview on April 25, 2024, at approximately 9:00 AM the administrator failed to provide
documented evidence that residents were routinely offered and provided with a bedtime/evening snack.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of clinical records and select facility policy, and staff interview, it was determined that
the facility failed to maintain infection control practices to prevent spread of infection for three of 19 sampled
residents (Residents 56, 1, and 59)
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) guidance focus
on gown and glove use and not other important infection control measures for prevention of multi-drug
resistant organisms (MDRO). EBP are recommended for residents with any of the following: infection or
colonization with a MDRO, a wound, or indwelling medical device, even if the resident is not known to be
infected or colonized with a MDRO.
Review of the facility Enhanced Barrier Precautions last reviewed/revised March 2024 indicated that to
minimize the transmission of germs transferring from residents to staff hands and clothing, staff will wear a
gown and gloves when providing care to residents that require significant physical contact and are at high
risk of acquiring or spreading Multidrug Resistance Organisms (MDRO). Enhanced barrier precautions will
be applied to residents known to be colonized with a targeted MDRO, per CDC guidelines, residents with
an indwelling medical device including central venous catheter, urinary catheter, feeding tube (PEG tube),
tracheostomy/ventilator regardless of their MDRO status, and residents with a chronic wound, regardless of
their MDRO status. Chronic wounds include pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical
wounds, and venous stasis ulcers. The procedure to implement indicated signage will be displayed outside
of resident rooms specifying the type of PPE (personal protective equipment) needed and will clarify
high-contact activities, PPE, including gowns and gloves, will be made available immediately outside
resident rooms, alcohol-based hand rub will be accessible for use in or in close proximity to the resident's
room, and staff will remove and discard gown and gloves after each resident care encounter and perform
hand hygiene upon exiting the room.
A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with
diagnoses which include dementia and cerebral infarction (stroke).
A physician order dated November 17, 2022, at 6:10 PM was noted for a Foley catheter (closed sterile
system with a catheter and retention balloon that is inserted into the urethra to allow for bladder drainage)
16 Fr (French size, which is based upon measurement of the external diameter of the catheter tube) 10 cc
(cubic centimeter, milliliter (ml) a measurement of volume in the metric system) balloon to straight bag
gravity drainage for a diagnosis of urinary retention.
Review of a Wound Assessment Report dated April 23, 2024, revealed Resident 1 had a stage 3 pressure
ulcer [characterized by full-thickness skin loss, subcutaneous fat may be visible, but bone, tendon, or
muscle is not exposed. Slough (yellow, tan, gray, green, or brown tissue) may be present but does not
obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling] to the left butt which measured
2.30 cm x 2.10 cm x 0.30 cm with slough and serosanguineous exudate (thin, often slightly yellow
drainage).
Observations on April 23, 2024, at 10:30 AM and April 25, 2024, at 9:00 AM revealed no evidence that EBP
were implemented for Resident 1 based on the presence of the pressure ulcer and Foley catheter.
