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. Record review of the daily staffing schedule, dated 10/12/25, reflected CNA A
worked 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the north side (the opposite side) of the building. It is unknown if CNA had
contact with or was in the same

A was not suspended until 10/12/25 after completing her shift and was terminated on 10/16/25. The record
reflected The Investigation proved she did not follow policy and procedure. Record review of the facility's
policy titled Abuse, Neglect, and Misappropriation Prevention Program dated revised April 2021, reflected
the following: Residents have the right to be free from abuse and neglect, misappropriation of resident
property and exploitation. This includes but is not limited to freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary

property by anyone including facility staff, other residents, family members, staff from other agencies,
friends, visitors.5. Establish and maintain a culture of compassion and caring for all residents and
particularly those with behavioral, cognitive, or emotional problems. During an observation and an
attempted interview on 12/30/25 at 2:00 PM Resident # 1 was sitting in the sitting area of the memory care
unit. Resident #1 made eye contact but would not answer direct questions or engage in conversation. She
was well groomed, and well dressed, and had no odors. There was no visible bruising. During an interview
on 12/30/25 at 3:00 p.m., LVN D stated on 10/11/25 around 6:00 a.m., CNA A reported that Resident #1
was acting up, was dirty and refused to be changed. She stated she went to the memory care unit and saw
Resident #1 sitting in a chair and Resident #1 smelled of feces. She stated CNA A was standing in front of
her talking loudly to Resident #1. She stated CNA A tried to get Resident #1 to get up and stop yelling.
Resident #1 refused to get up and continued to yell. LVN D stated CNA A then reached underneath
Resident #1's arms and attempted to pick her up from the chair and Resident #1 grabbed the chair to
resist. Resident # 1 slid down to the ground. She stated CNA A, then grabbed Resident #1's ankles and
dragged her on the floor down the hall to her room. She stated Resident #1 was screaming, yelling, and
resisting CNA A as she dragged her down the hallway. LVN D stated she did not intervene because she
was shocked to see the incident and also stated CNA A was so agitated that she was afraid she would
aggravate the situation further if she intervened before they got to Resident #1's room. She stated CNA C
arrived at that time and she told CNA C to take over Resident #1's care from CNA A. She stated she told
CNA A to go off the hall and take a break, and she left the memory care unit. 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. During an interview
on 12/30/25 at 3:40 p.m., CNA B stated she went outside the memory care unit a little after 5 :00 a.m. to
ask CNA A for assistance. CNA A came into the unit and started screaming at Resident #1 to get up, and
told her she had until the count of three to get up. CNA B stated Resident #1 was sitting in a gray chair by
the television. CNA B stated she saw CNA A grab Resident #1 and pick her up out of her chair and lower
her onto the floor. She stated CNA A then grabbed Resident #1 by the ankles and dragged her, while she
laid on the floor, from the gray chair in the lobby to her room down the hallway. She stated when they got to
the room CNA C and herself intervened at that time and took over Resident #1's care, as they were told to
do by LVN D. She stated she did not immediately intervene on the behalf of Resident #1 as she had been
trained to do by the

facility. She also stated she did not notify the abuse coordinator/administrator because she thought LVN D
notified the administrator/abuse coordinator. During an interview on 12/31/25 at 10:00 a.m., CNA A stated
she no longer worked at the facility and did work her entire shift on the memory care unit on 10/11/25. CNA
A stated when she arrived at the facility on 10/11/25, it was a little after 5:00 a.m She stated CNA B came
to her and told her Resident #1 was out of control. She stated CNA B told her Resident #1 needed to be
changed but refused. She stated Resident #1 was yelling and screaming. CNA A stated she told Resident
#1 she needed to get up from the chair and let CNA B change her brief. She stated Resident #1 would not
get up from the chair, and she tried to assist her to stand and at that time Resident #1 threw herself out of
the chair and kicked at her wrapped her arms around CNA A's legs. She stated she took Resident #1's
arms off her legs and Resident #1 continued to kick at her . CNA A stated there were a lot of residents
around and she was afraid for those residents' safety, so she grabbed Resident #1's legs and pulled her to
her room. She stated CNA B, CNA C, and LVN D were there, but did not try to help her. She stated LVN D
was the nurse, and she just stood there and watched the whole thing . She stated she worked the full shift
on the memory care unit on 10/11/25 and worked again on 10/12/25 for eight hours before she was
suspended . She stated she was terminated on 10/16/25 as a result of this allegation of abuse. and was
currently employed as a CNA at another nursing facility. In an interview on 12/31/25 at 3:00 p.m., the
Administrator stated on 10/14/25 she viewed a video of the incident that occurred on 10/11/2025 that was
recorded by the facility's electronic monitoring system. She stated the facility had recently undergone a
change of ownership, and she was hired in August as the Administrator, but had worked as a marketer in
the facility since 2016. She stated she viewed the video with the former DON and the ADON, and after she
saw the film, she reported the incident to the police and the state and federal authorities. She stated she
did not report the allegation before she saw the video because she was not sure it actually happened until
she viewed the video. In an interview on 12/31/25 at 4:00 p.m., the Police Detective that responded to the
facility's report on 10/15/25 stated another officer recorded the facility's video recording of the incident that
occurred on 10/11/25 as he watched the video by using his work phone on 10/15/25. The Detective stated
while watching the video, he observed CNA A drag Resident #1 down the hallway by her ankles. During an
observation on 1/9/25 at 2:00 PM of a video dated 10/11/25 at 5:19 a.m., which was in the possession of
the police department it was revealed Resident # 1 was sitting in a chair in the lobby area of the memory
care unit. The observation revealed there were six other unidentified residents visible in the area. LVN D
was standing behind Resident #1, and did not intervene, while CNA A was standing over Resident #1
pointing and shaking her finger in the face of Resident #1. The observation further revealed Resident #1
was looking up at CNA A and did not resist or strike out at CNA A. Further observation revealed CNA A
grabbed Resident #1 under her arms and lifted her up while Resident #1 held on to the arms of the chair.

immediately grabbed Resident #1 by the right leg and began dragging her. The observation also revealed
CNA A then grabbed Resident #1's other ankle and dragged Resident #1 on her back down the hallway to
her room and then halfway inside the door, at which point, the video ended. CNA A, CNA B, CNA C, and
LVN D were observed standing calmly in the video and no one intervened to protect Resident #1. The
facility was evaluated to be in past noncompliance based on the corrections implemented prior to entrance.
Review of the plan reflected:1. Resident # 1 received a skin assessment on 10/11/25 which reflected no
open areas or bruising. Responsible party, Ombudsman, and Medical Director notified. Police were notified
on 10/15/25. CNA A reassigned on 10/12/25 and suspended pending investigation for the allegation of
abuse on 10/12/25.

Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to implement written policies and procedures that prohibit
and prevent abuse of residents for 1 (Resident #1) of 7 residents reviewed for resident abuse. 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. This failure
could place residents at risk of serious physical injuries, 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 initially admitted the facility on 10/2/25. 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), lipodermatosis ( 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 and revised on 10/15/25 after the incident occurred 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-ten minutes and try again Record review of CNA A's timecard reports showed 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 for 10/11/25 showed that CNA A was the only CNA that worked the memory care unit from 6 a.m.
- 2 p.m. Record Review of the daily staffing schedule for 10/12/25 showed that CNA A worked 6 a.m.-2 p.m.
on the north side (the opposite side) of the building. Record review of CNA A's employe file reflected CNA A
was not suspended until 10/12/25 after completing her shift and was terminated on 10/16/25. The record
reflected The Investigation proved she did not follow policy and procedure. Record review of the incident
