F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few 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 observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from abuse and neglect for one of seven (Resident #1) residents reviewed for abuse. On 10 /11/25 CNA A dragged Resident # 1 by her ankles approximately 40 feet down the hallway in the memory care unit when Resident # 1 refused to allow CNA A to perform incontinent care. The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 10/11/25 and ended on 10/16/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began. This failure could place residents at risk of serious physical injuries, fear and emotional trauma, decline in health and a decreased quality of life.Findings included:Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 12/30/25, revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE]. She resided on the memory care unit and had the following diagnoses: vascular dementia (occurs when damaged blood vessels reduce oxygen and nutrient flow to the brain, impairing memory, thinking, and behavior ), anxiety disorder, peripheral vascular disease ( peripheral vascular disease is a slow and progressive circulation disorder caused by narrowing, blockage or spasms in blood vessels), osteoarthritis of bilateral knees (degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone which causes pain and stiffness especially in the hip, knee, and thumb joint), and lipodermatosclerosis (chronic inflammatory condition of the skin where the lower legs harden and thicken due to poor blood flow). Record review of Resident # 1's admission MDS, dated [DATE], reflected that she was incontinent of bowel and bladder and had a BIMS of four, (severe cognitive impairment), displayed wandering behaviors, inattention, disorganized thinking, and did not resist care or display behavioral symptoms or aggression toward others. Record review of the Care Plan, problem which was initiated and revised on 11/16/25, reflected Resident #1 had a problem of mixed bladder incontinence and an intervention was initiated on 11/16/25 to check the resident for incontinence every two hours. It also reflected that she had the problem of ADL self-performance deficit, initiated 10/16/25, with interventions that were also initiated on 10/16/25. Resident #1 required assistance of one staff to use the toilet and required total assistance with transfers but did not specify how many CNAs were required to assist with transfers. The care plans were updated on 10/15/25 after the incident on 10/11/25 to reflect that the resident resisted care and had the potential to be physically aggressive with staff. The care plan was revised on 10/16/25 to include: allow the resident to make decision about treatment regime to provide a sense of control, give clear explanation to all care activities, if resident resists with adl's leave and return in five to ten minutes and try again Record review of CNA A's timecard reports reflected CNA A worked:10/11/25: 6:00 a.m.- 2:21 p.m.10/12/25: 6:36 a.m. - 2:10 p.m.Record review of daily staffing schedule, dated 10/11/25, reflected CNA A was the only CNA assigned to the memory care unit from 6:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on 10/11/25.

LVN D stated she was the night shift charge nurse when this incident happened, and she was getting ready to go off duty. LVN D stated again she did not intervene because CNA A was a large woman and was terribly upset which made her hesitant to approach her for fear she would increase CNA A's agitation. LVN D stated she the abuse coordinator/administrator of the incident. She stated she also notified the physician and the responsible party. During an interview with Resident #1's responsible party, he stated he was notified of the incident of alleged abuse, but he did not remember who notified him or the date he was notified.

The facility failed to implement their policy and procedures to ensure Resident #1 was free from abuse when the facility failed to protect Resident #1 from CNA A on 10/11/25, when CNA A grabbed Resident # 1 by the ankles and dragged her approximately 40 feet down the hallway on the floor of the memory care unit. The facility failed to ensure staff immediately reported suspicions of abuse to the Abuse Coordinator when staff members CNA B, CNA C, and LVN D witnessed the abuse and failed to report or intervene immediately. The facility failed to immediately suspend alleged perpetrators of abuse when the facility allowed the alleged perpetrator to work 8.35 hours on 10/11/25 after the incident occurred and 7.57 hours on 10/12/25, before she was suspended. The noncompliance was identified as PNC. The IJ began on 10/11/25 and ended on 10/16/25. The facility had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
