Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Based on clinical record review, review of facility documents, and staff interview, it was determined that the
facility failed to prevent abuse for one of one resident reviewed (Resident 8).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review for Resident 8 revealed that on May 9, 2024, at 10:30 PM a nurse aide noted her to
be sitting on the floor on the left side of her bed. The resident indicated that she slid out of bed.
Concurrently, Employee 2, Registered Nurse, was made aware that Resident 8 fell out of bed, and the need
to assess her for injuries.
Review of the facility investigation into the fall revealed that Resident 8 did not have any injuries from the fall
but there were concerns documented by Employee 3, nurse aide and Employee 4, Licensed Practical
Nurse, that indicated they reported to the Director of Nursing (DON) that when Employee 2 came to assess
Resident 8, she was verbally inappropriate to her. The investigation also confirmed that Resident 8 was
interviewed and that the nurse was rude and unprofessional.
Review of a witness statement from Employee 4, dated May 9, 2024, revealed that she notified Employee
2, that Resident 8 slid out of bed and was on the floor and she needed her to come and assess her.
Employee 2 was trying to roll Resident 8 on to her side to assess her for injuries and rolled her into the door
jamb bumping her right leg very hard . Resident 8 yelled and said it hurt. Employee 2 then yelled at
Resident 8 and said, if you are not going to roll, I will mark you as a refusal. I am not hurting my back.
Employee 2 rolled Resident 8 again and rolled her against the door jamb very roughly and she yelled again
and looked at Employee 3 and said, I hate her.
Review of a statement from Employee 3 dated May 9, 2024, revealed that when Employee 2 came into the
room to examine Resident 8, she seemed very annoyed and spoke in a very rude manner. She indicated
that Employee 2 never told Resident 8 that she was going to roll her over, she just tried to flip her over
causing her right shin bone to crack off the bathroom door jam. She stated that Employee 2 then proceeded
to tell Resident 8 that if she was not going to roll, she would mark her as a refusal. Employee 2 then
proceeded to try to roll her again causing her right leg to crack off the door jamb again.
Review of Employee 2's statement dated May 10, 2024, related to this event revealed that she tried to turn
Resident 8 to check her back side and right hip, which she said hurt but she kept resisting being turned.
Every time she would try to turn Resident 8, she would push back. She indicated that she had an actively
dying resident receiving frequent sedation and no licensed practical nurse on duty, so she was passing
medications too. She also indicated in her statement that she had been very

busy preparing for a long-distance move and was entering the final three days of her nearly 2-month notice.
She then stated that she believed this incident was related to stress and frustration due to all these events
together and that she was sorry and never meant any harm or disrespect.
Review of the Director of Nursing's (DON) summary of the event revealed that on May 10, 2024, at 8:30 AM
she interviewed Resident 8 who indicated that she slipped out of bed and called for help. Resident 8
indicated that they came and got her up and that another nurse came and was very angry with her for
falling out of bed and yelled at her. She said the nurse told her that she broke the rules that were laid out for
her and that she was not to go to the bathroom by herself. Resident 8 then indicated that the nurse threw
her against the wall. When Resident 8 was assessed, there were no apparent injuries.
Interview with the DON and Nursing Home Administrator on July 18, 2024, at 12:05 PM revealed that they
unsubstantiated the allegation of abuse because Employee 8 did not intend to cause harm. They also
indicated that they were going to educate her on recognizing stress and actions to take, but Employee 2 did
not return to the facility after the investigation, and that they did not educate other staff responsible for the
care of residents related to stress prevention and abuse.
The facility failed to substantiate verbal and physical abuse related to Resident 8 and failed to educate all
staff related to stress management and abuse prevention as it related to this event, to prevent
reoccurrence.
