Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all allegations involving abuse, neglect, and
misappropriation were reported immediately to the State Survey Agency (HHSC), but no later than 2 hours
after the allegation is made, if the events that cause the allegation involve abuse, for 1 of 4 residents
(Resident #1) reviewed for abuse.
The facility did not report to the State Survey Agency (HHSC) an incident of alleged abuse/neglect for
Resident #1.
This failure could place residents at risk for harm to include physical abuse, a diminished quality of life, and
psychosocial harm.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1 's face sheet, dated 4/15/2025 reflected a [AGE] year-old female resident
re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included: Acute Respiratory Failure with
Hypercapnia (occurs when the lungs fail to adequately remove carbon dioxide from the blood), Congestive
Heart Failure (a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs), and
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (a condition caused by damage to the airways or other parts of the
lung). The resident is her own responsible party.
Record review of Resident#1's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed: the resident's BIMS score was
fifteen (intact cognition).
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 8:45 AM the ADM stated Resident #1 came to him seven days after
the alleged incident on 2/26/2025. Resident #1 stated a male CNA, who previously worked for the facility
and was visiting his girlfriend who worked there, came into her room around 2:00 AM and made a
suggestive, vulgar comment to her. Resident #1 stated the male did not touch her.
The ADM investigated the allegation, Resident #1 was assessed, and was deemed inconclusive. The ADM
said he would normally report this type of situation and I did not report the allegation because Resident #1
said she did not want it reported. Later we decided to report it because we felt like she was playing games
with us, as she shared the allegation with other staff and residents.
During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 9:33 AM, Resident #1 stated, I do not feel unsafe here. I did not want
to stir up anything. I did not want my family to know because they would have come in and tried to take
things over. I said I did not want the state, or the police called. Resident #1 stated a
