**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to consult the resident's physician and resident representative
when there was a significant change in the resident's physical, mental or psychosocial status for one
(Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for resident rights.
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's physician and psychiatrist was notified when she refused her
prescribed psychotropic and blood pressure medications consistently for over a week from 09/01/23
through 09/09/23 .
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1's RP/family member(s) were notified when she refused her
prescribed psychotropic and blood pressure medications consistently for over a week from 09/01/23
through 09/09/23.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 09/14/23. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE]
at 1:45 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/18/23, the facility remained out of
compliance at the severity level of No actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not
Immediate Jeopardy and at a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the
effectiveness of its corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of a delay in medical intervention and decline in health or possible
worsening of symptoms.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet (undated) reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with active diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type (a mental
illness where the person experiences psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions with
episodes of mania and sometimes depression), dementia-moderate with behavioral disturbance (the loss of
cognitive functioning- thinking, remembering, and reasoning along with symptoms depression, anxiety,
psychosis, agitation, aggression, disinhibition and sleep disturbances), generalized anxiety disorder (a
feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness), insomnia (trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting good
quality sleep), diabetes (a problem in the way the body regulates and uses sugar as a fuel), hypertension
(when the pressure in your blood vessels is too high-140/90 mmHg or higher), difficulty in walking,
unsteadiness on feet/lack of coordination and altered mental status (a change in mental function). Resident

Record review of Resident #1's clinical record revealed no evidence through nursing documentation that
MD, NP D or PA E or Resident #1's RP/family member(s) were notified or that Resident #1 was assessed
for any decline in condition.
An interview with Resident #1's secondary RP/family member on 09/11/23 at 6:04 PM revealed she found
out on 09/11/23 that Resident #1 had been arrested on 09/09/23. The family member was concerned
Resident #1 had a psychotic break while at the facility and thought she did not recognize her roommate and
thought it was someone invading her privacy. The family member stated the facility reported [date unknown]
Resident #1 was being rough and mean with her roommate [Resident #2] and slapped her and another
man. The family member stated she was confused because the facility had notified her that Resident #1
was at the hospital on [DATE] because she had a mental break. When another family member/primary RP
went to provide Resident #1 cigarettes on 09/09/23, the facility asked the RP if she would ride with
Resident #1 to take her to a behavioral health hospital but did not provide her with any clinical paperwork.
The RP was dropped off with Resident #1 by the police at the behavioral health hospital and they refused
to accept Resident #1, so the RP called the police to transport Resident #1 back to the facility. The family
member stated the facility had also reported to her during this time that Resident #1 had not been taking
her medications for about a week. The family member stated once Resident #1 was supposed to be
transported back to the facility by the police, she did not hear anything from the facility until two days later
when they reported to her that Resident #1 was missing. The family member stated the facility told her on
09/11/23 the police dropped Resident #1 off across the street of the facility. So they called the police and
they asked her if she knew where Resident #1 was and gave her the police report number from the incident
on 09/09/23. The family member then went to the police department to file a missing person's report on
09/11/23. The family member stated through the facility's police report number, she was able to find out
Resident #1 had been arrested for a felony charge of injury to an elderly person and was in the local county
jail with a $500 bail. The family member felt the facility was trying to get rid of Resident #1, claiming they
sent her to the hospital the week prior but the hospital sent her back because it was not a psychiatric
emergency. The family member felt all of these facility behaviors were a tactic to get Resident #1 out of the
facility. The family member stated she had not been able to see Resident #1 in jail yet and she was
concerned Resident #1 was not getting any of her prescribed psychotropic medications. So if she was
having a psychotic break, she would not be able to get through it. The family member felt the facility was
causing her behaviors and did not know how to deal with residents with mental health issues. She stated
the facility was agitating her with the transfers back and forth from the facility to the hospitals. The family
member stated the facility did not provide her with any documentation about the transfers out in the past
week. The family member stated, They cut me out of the loop .they should have discussed that
[transfers/behaviors] with us to work with them.
An interview with Resident #1's primary RP on 09/12/23 at 2:48 PM revealed on 09/08/23, she got a call
from the activity director to bring Resident #1 some cigarettes. So she bought a carton and went to the
facility the following day to deliver them (9/09/23). When the primary RP arrived, she was going to drop off
the cigarettes because she was on her way to work and was using a rideshare service. However, the facility
notified her that Resident #1 had attacked someone. The RP stated she told the facility staff that did not
sound like Resident #1 and had they been messing with her medications? The RP stated, This is not the
first time and we have discussed the same thing over and over, I said I am not POA and I can't make her
take mediation, but let me tell you, when you mess with her medicine, she gets aggressive and she needs
this medicine. The RP stated the facility had never informed her that Resident #1 had been refusing her
medications for five days.

She was frustrated because she felt the facility called her and the other RP often for minor issues, but they
could not call and notify them she was refusing her medications. The family member wanted to know why
the facility did not intervene when Resident #1 started to refuse her medications. The family member stated
RN F was at the facility and told her he was in charge and they had already called the police. The RP
stated, Why? Because you know she didn't take her meds and why didn't you send her to the hospital? She
said RN F stated Resident #1 did not want to be transported in an ambulance. The RP stated she felt
something was not right about the situation so she decided to stay and see what was going to happen
because she felt the facility was trying to arrest Resident #1 and she was scared that because of her
ethnicity and having mental illness, if Resident #1 ended up in jail, it would not fare well for her. When the
police arrived, the RP told them Resident #1 needed to go to the hospital because she had been there the
week before. The RP stated when she saw Resident #1 that day, she was crazy acting, saying she was
someone else, saying she saw a man who was not there and people were sitting on her and was
delusional. The RP felt the facility had a plan to dump Resident #1 because they were supposed to facilitate
the transfer to the hospital, but they began talking privately and she overheard them say one place was full
and that they were going to take her to an inpatient behavioral health facility. The RP went with the police
and Resident #1 in the police care because she felt that something was not right. When they got to the
inpatient behavioral health facility, the police dropped her and Resident #1 off and left. The intake
coordinator refused to admit Resident #1 due to her having noted aggression and said they would not be
able to force her to take her medications because it was only a behavior clinic. The RP then called the
facility to notify them of the refused admission and was told by the front desk receptionist that Resident #1
could not come back and was not allowed back. The RP then called the local police to come and pick up
Resident #1 and they called the facility who said she could not come back; the RP told the facility they had
to accept her back. The RP then left from the inpatient behavior health facility via rideshare to go to work
because she was late and assumed the police had transported Resident #1 back to the facility.
An interview with RN F on 09/12/23 at 3:54 PM revealed he was the weekend supervisor for the facility. He
did not know if Resident #1's medications had been adjusted at the hospital for the first resident to resident
altercation she had with Resident #3 on 09/05/23. RN F stated, I don't know, but even if they tweak her
meds, she still refuses. He stated he had been working at the facility for one month on the weekends and
Resident #1 always refused her medications. RN F stated the facility could try an intramuscular medication
route for Resident #1, but with her, no one will try. They could also try a gel, but she doesn't want anyone
close to her., So those are the dilemmas. RN F stated when a resident began refusing medications, the
charge nurse should get the doctor and family involved in the care and make a nursing progress note and
document the refusals. He stated the medication aides and nurses could not force a resident to take their
medications. When that happened, the doctor was notified and the nursing staff should have followed up
with the psychiatrist. RN F stated, If it is not resolved, we can send her out of the facility, we can discharge
for not being able to take care of the resident's needs.
An interview with ADON A on 09/12/23 at 4:29 PM revealed when a resident refused their medications,
especially medications for a mood disorder, they could become unstable, become easily triggered and
could become harmful to themselves or others. If a resident refused medication, the medications aides
were supposed to report it to the charge nurse, then the charge nurse contacted the doctor and let them
know. ADON A stated, Especially with behaviors, we have to stay on top of it, we can't force them to take
them but we have to at least notify the doctor and [PMHP]], who comes in twice a week. When a medication
has parameters, ADON A stated it was the same

protocol if the resident was refusing the vitals check, notify the doctor and document. She said the charge
nurse could also attempts twice and then the ADON for that hall could try as well. ADON A stated no one
had notified her Resident #1 was refusing her medications when she was placed temporarily on her hall
and she just found out on 09/11/23, after the incident with Resident #2 that she had not been taking them.
ADON A stated she needed to in-service the nursing staff about notifying nursing management when
residents were refusing medications. ADON A stated she did not know how to run an audit of refused
medications in the online e-charting system.
An interview with ADON B on 09/12/23 at 5:35 PM revealed he knew Resident #1 and she had mental
health issues and took medications for it. He stated Resident #1 was sometimes resistant to take her
medications and be provided ADL care, and it could take multiple encouragements from different staff to
get her to comply. After a resident to resident altercation with Resident #3 on 09/05/23, ADON B stated
Resident #1 came back from the hospital with no new orders and was placed on his hall. The nursing staff
were monitoring her for physical aggression, yelling, and cursing; ADON B said he had never known her to
do that before. He stated sometimes Resident #1 would walk down the hall and laugh to herself, make
noises, but never physically hit someone. ADON B stated he had never been notified that Resident #1 was
refusing her medications. He stated he expected the medication aides and charges nurses to tell him when
a resident refused medications. He stated they had to document the refusal and the family, doctor and/or
psychiatrist had to be notified. ADON B stated he had never tried to administer medications to Resident #1
while she was recently on his floor. He had been working at the facility since January 2023, and he
remembered in times past when he did have to administer medications to Resident #1 and he never had
any issues and she always took them. ADON B stated when a resident refused medications, the
medications could become less effective and drop below their therapeutic level and the resident could have
behaviors that the medication was supposed to help them with; behaviors will rise.
An interview with LVN I on 09/13/23 at 10:15 AM revealed when a resident refused medications, especially
medications for a mood disorder, the medication aide should have notified the charge nurse first who could
then encourage the resident on why they need the medication. LVN I stated she did a three refusal rule. For
residents with dementia, LVN I stated, Your nurse techniques can be used; you have to know them. If the
resident refused a third time, then the doctor needed to be notified, and the family. LVN I stated the next day
in morning standup meeting with management, the charge nurse should talk about the refusal and then it
should also have been documented on the 24 hour report which was reviewed by management. LVN I
stated in the online e-charting system, the facility could run a report that showed what residents and what
medications were refused. LVN I stated, It's simple and each nurse comes in and talks about their hall and
their patients. LVN I stated MA J was her medication aide for the morning shift but she had not been notified
Resident #1 refused medication when she was on her hall.
An interview with MA J on 09/13/23 at 11:09 AM revealed Resident #1 was not on her hall for very long;
maybe a week or two in the past 30 days. MA J stated Resident #1 refused medications. MA J stated she
would walk up to Resident #1 and ask her if she was going to take her medication and Resident #1 would
say no. MA J said she would tell Resident #1 okay and tell the charge nurse she tried to give it. Sometimes
if MA J let Resident #1 smoke a cigarette first, she would be more amenable to taking her medications
afterwards, but not always. MA J stated when Resident #1 refused medications, I would say thank you and
move on. I never knew what triggered her. I would just tell the nurse I tried a couple times and she was
refusing me and could you try. I have told different nurses.

she resisted medications and care a lot. When MA K went to pass medications, she stated she would ask
Resident #1 if she was ready to take her meds, Sometimes she will say no or cuss me out. MA K stated
when that happened, she would try to explain to Resident #1 what the medications were for, but Resident
#1 would still say no, that MA K was not her doctor. MA K stated she would then wait a couple of hours and
let Resident #1 know she still had not taken them and ask if was she ready. If Resident #1 continued to say
no, MA K stated she would tell the charge nurse to see if the nurse could her to take them. MA K stated her
nurse was RN L and she was not successful in getting Resident #1 to take her medications either. MA K
stated if a resident was not taking their medications, then whatever they are taking medications for will start
to happen, like mental issues getting worse or health issues worsening.
An interview with RN L on 09/13/23 at 11:29 AM revealed Resident #1 was only on her hall for less than 24
hours, so she never really worked with her. RN L stated if a resident refused medications, if they were
psychotropic medications, it could cause them to have behaviors. RN L stated for medication refusals, the
medication aide was supposed to let the charge nurse. RN L stated, No one told me she [Resident #1] was
refusing. She said the main thing the nurse could do was notify the doctor and RP, we can't force them. RN
L stated the nurse would need to document what they had done related to notifications.
An interview with ADON C on 09/13/23 at 11:40 AM revealed she was over the secured units and did not
work with Resident #1, but in her experience, when a resident refused medications, the medication aides
were supposed to tell the charge nurse and the charge nurse needed to try to administer. If the charge
nurse could not administer to the resident, then the doctor and RP had to be notified and the medications
possibly needed to be put on hold. ADON C stated if she was the charge nurse for Resident #1, she would
ask her why she did not want to take them. She said when a resident had dementia, the nurses and med
aides still tried to encourage them and if the continued to say no, then call the doctor and document in a
nursing progress note. ADON C stated, Especially if it is pill form, because maybe change it [to liquid,
crushed, in food]. ADON C stated I would have tried to get her medication in liquid form if Resident #1 was
refusing to take pills because she drank a lot coffee and water, a lot of dementia residents are like that, they
will not take a pill but will drink.
An interview with the DON on 09/13/23 at 12:38 PM revealed she was unaware Resident #1 had been
refusing her medications. The DON stated her expectation was the medication aide needed to report
refusals to the charge nurse and the charge nurse notified the doctor. If Resident #1 refused her
psychotropic medications for an extended period of time, the DON stated she would have talked to the
doctor about it if she was aware of it. The DON said she also expected the med aides and charge nurses to
try several attempts, be calm, maybe try a different staff in case the resident did not like that medication
aide/nurse.
An interview with the MD on 09/13/23 at 4:38 PM revealed the facility did not notify him about Resident #1
being in jail or that she was refusing her medications. He stated he only heard that she was hitting
someone. The MD stated the facility was pretty good about handling resident to resident altercations and it
was not typical to call the police on altercations with older residents with dementia with behaviors. The MD
stated, Most of the time, we put it as acute psychosis. Might be an infection going on with the patient and
they became unstable, electrolyte abnormalities, not taking meds. The MD stated he was a hospitalist by
trade. So what he wanted was the facility to notify him for those types of incidents and he would have that
resident directly admitted to the hospital, check them out, and stabilize them. The MD stated he was a
physician at one hospital and had a contract with two hospitals for admission privileges. The MD stated, It is
easy for me to navigate that process and

the facility knows that. He stated if a resident freaked out during a behavioral emergency and they were not
thinking clearly, then he would want the charge nurse to call him and he would admit the resident for acute
psychosis for admission. The MD stated, Especially with [Resident #1] because she is an older lady, I
remember her face. If she was like that, I would have had her directly admitted instead of calling police. I
would have had them call EMS and from there I can then stabilized her and send her back. The MD stated
that was the protocol the nurses typically followed, but it all depended on who was working at the time of an
incident. The MD stated, There are nurses who are really good who can catch it [behavior] and navigate
that so I can do something about it and then there are nurses who freak out and call the police. I have done
it so many times, I can get the patient stabilized.
An interview with the MHNP on 09/13/23 at 2:47 PM revealed she was the psychiatric nurse for the facility
residents and was unaware Resident #1, who was her patient, was in jail. She stated she was not
contacted nor involved with the two resident to resident altercations Resident #1 had been in during the
past week. She stated Resident #1 had never been physically aggressive, She's had manic episodes where
she's difficult to redirect and delusional, but she's never been violent, ever. MHNP was unaware Resident
#1 had been refusing her medications.
An interview with NP D on 09/14/23 at 10:38 AM revealed she remembered being notified that Resident #1
was refusing her medications but could not recall when or who notified her. She stated she told the staff to
keep trying, have different people try to administer, call the family, wait and try again. NP D stated, There is
only so much we can do. She said if there were no behavior problems related to the medication, then after
about a month, that medication could have been discontinued.
An interview with LVN O on 09/14/23 at 1:46 PM revealed she was the charge nurse working on Resident
#1's hall on 09/09/23 but she did not see the resident to resident altercation between her and Resident #3.
LVN O stated she remembered Resident #1's family member was present at the facility and was upset
stating the facility had to give Resident #1 her medications. LVN O stated she told the family member she
would look at Resident #1's medications, but she did not follow through because Resident #1 was going to
be sent to the hospital. LVN O stated if a resident refused medications, she expected the medication aides
to report it to her. LVN O stated she had been hearing Resident #1 was refusing medications and doses
through the grapevine. LVN O stated, But me, if I heard that, I would call doctor to see if anything else I
could do, and I would have at least tried to put it in food or drink and watch her take it. That morning, after
all this had happened [resident to resident altercation], then I start hearing she wouldn't take it
[medications]. Back there on my unit, we find a way. LVN O stated if residents do not get their psychotropic
medications, they were going to act out. LVN O stated when a medication refusal happened, she would
document it in a progress note and let the doctor know what had transpired and see what they wanted her
to do. LVN O stated, To me, if she was not taking her medication, why not call the [family member/RP] who
would have a better relationship and schedule medicine administration where [family/RP] could be present,
that is what I would have done. You got to show you tried.

observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the resident has the right to be free
from neglect for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for neglect.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to provide prescribed psychotropic medications to Resident #1, who lived with dementia
and mental illness, and moved her to several different rooms in a week's time which resulted in her having
increased behaviors resulting in two separate unwitnessed resident to resident altercations.
2. The facility failed to notify the MD when Resident #1 refused her psychotropic medications prior to the
two resident to resident altercations.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 09/14/23. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE]
at 1:45 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/18/23, the facility remained out of
compliance at the severity level of Actual harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy and at a scope of pattern
due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the effectiveness of its corrective systems.

understood by others (ability is limited to making concrete requests) and was sometimes understood (able
to respond adequately to simple, direct communication only). Resident #1's BIMS score was an 06, which
indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #1 had no signs/symptoms of delirium (inattention,
disorganized thinking and altered level of consciousness), her mood score was a 00, which indicated no
negative mood issues. Resident #1 had no potential indicators of psychosis, physical or verbal behaviors,
rejection of care or wandering. She was independent in her ADLs, was continent in bowel and bladder, had

An interview with Resident #1's secondary RP/family member on 09/11/23 at 6:04 PM revealed she found
out on 09/11/23 that Resident #1 had been arrested on 09/09/23. The family member was concerned
Resident #1 had a psychotic break while at the facility and thought she did not recognize her roommate and
thought it was someone invading her privacy. The family member stated the facility reported [date unknown]
Resident #1 was being rough and mean with her roommate [Resident #2] and slapped her and another
man. The family member stated she was confused because the facility had notified her that Resident #1
was at the hospital on [DATE] because she had a mental break. When another family member/primary RP
went to provide Resident #1 cigarettes on 09/09/23, the facility asked the RP if she would ride with
Resident #1 to take her to a behavioral health hospital but did not provide her with any clinical paperwork.
The RP was dropped off with Resident #1 by the police at the behavioral health hospital and they refused
to accept Resident #1, so the RP called the police to transport Resident #1 back to the facility. The family
member stated the facility had also reported to her during this time that Resident #1 had not been taking
her medications for about a week. The family member stated once Resident #1 was supposed to be
transported back to the facility by the police, she did not hear anything from the facility until two days later
when they reported to her that Resident #1 was missing. The family member stated the facility told her on
09/11/23 the police dropped Resident #1 off across the street of the facility so they called the police and
they asked her if she knew where Resident #1 was and gave her the police report number from the incident
on 09/09/23. The family member then went to the police department to file a missing person's report on
09/11/23. The family member stated through the facility's police report number, she was able to find out
Resident #1 had been arrested for a felony charge of injury to an elderly person and was in the local county
jail with a $500 bail. The family member felt the facility was trying to get rid of Resident #1, claiming they
sent her the hospital the week prior but the hospital sent her back because it was not a psychiatric
emergency. The family member felt all of these facility behaviors were a tactic to get Resident #1 out of the
facility. The family member stated she had not been able to see Resident #1 in jail yet and she was
concerned Resident #1 was not getting any of her prescribed psychotropic medications so if she was
having a psychotic break, she would not be able to get through it. The family member felt the facility was
causing her behaviors and did not know how to deal with residents with mental health issues and were
agitating her with the transfers back and forth from the facility to the hospitals. The family member stated
the facility did not provide her any documentation about the transfers out in the past week. The family
member stated, They cut me out of the loop .they should have discussed that [transfers/behaviors] with us
to work with them.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview with Resident #1's primary RP on 09/12/23 at 2:48 PM revealed on 09/08/23, she got a call
from the activity director to bring Resident #1 some cigarettes so she bought a carton and went to the
facility the following day to deliver them (9/09/23). When the primary RP arrived, she was going to drop off
the cigarettes because she was on her way to work and was using a rideshare service, however, the facility
notified her that Resident #1 had attacked someone. The RP stated she told the facility staff that did not
sound like Resident #1 and had they been messing with her medications? The RP stated, This is not the
first time and we have discussed the same thing over and over, I said I am not POA and I can't make her
take mediation, but let me tell you, when you mess with her medicine, she gets aggressive and she needs
this medicine. The RP stated the facility had never informed her that Resident #1 had been refusing her
medications for five days. She was frustrated because she felt the facility called her and the other RP often
for minor issues, but they could not call and notify them she was refusing her

medications. The family member wanted to know why the facility did not intervene when Resident #1
started to refuse her medications. The family member stated RN F was at the facility and told her he was in
charge and they had already called the police. The RP stated, Why? Because you know she didn't take her
meds and why didn't you send her to the hospital? She said RN F stated Resident #1 did not want to be
transported in an ambulance. The RP stated she felt something was not right about the situation so she
decided to stay and see what was going to happen because she felt the facility was trying to arrest
Resident #1 and she was scared that because of her ethnicity and having mental illness, if Resident #1
ended up in jail, it would not fare well for her. When the police arrived, the RP told them Resident #1
needed to go to the hospital because she had been there the week before. The RP stated when she saw
Resident #1 that day, she was crazy acting, saying she was someone else, saying she saw a man who was
not there and people were sitting on her and was delusional. The RP felt the facility had a plan to dump
Resident #1 because they were supposed to facilitate the transfer to the hospital, but they began talking
privately and she overheard them say one place was full and that they were going to take her to an
inpatient behavioral health facility. The RP went with the police and Resident #1 in the police care because
she felt that something was not right. When they got to the inpatient behavioral health facility, the police
dropped her and Resident #1 off and left. The intake coordinator refused to admit Resident #1 due to her
having noted aggression and said they would not be able to force her to take her medications because it
was only a behavior clinic. The RP then called the facility to notify them of the refused admission and was
told by the front desk receptionist that Resident #1 could not come back and was not allowed back. The RP
then called the local police to come and pick up Resident #1 and they called the facility who said she could
not come back; the RP told the facility they had to accept her back. The RP then left from the inpatient
behavior health facility via rideshare to go to work because she was late and assumed the police had
transported Resident #1 back to the facility.
A interview was attempted via phone with CNA N on 09/14/23 at 11:11 AM with a voice mail left; CNA N did
not respond to request to be interviewed.
An interview with the front desk receptionist on 09/14/23 at 12:15 PM revealed she worked over the
weekend, including on 09/09/23. She stated she saw Resident #2 being taken out by EMT to the hospital
and knew the police had been called and Resident #1 had been asked to leave the facility due to an
incident between her and Resident #2. The front desk receptionist stated she saw Resident #1 escorted out
of the facility by the police and got into their SUV along with her family member. She then stated after that,
the family member called the facility and was stating the police transported Resident #1 to an inpatient
behavioral health facility and they would not admit her. The front desk receptionist notified the ADM, and he
said no, she [Resident #1] was not to be admitted back in. She could not remember what reason the ADM
gave her for refusing to let Resident #1 come back but she thought it had to do with behavior issues. The
front desk receptionist stated, I know the [family member] said the reason she needed to come back was
because [behavioral facility] would not allow her in and she needed the incident report, I heard the police
say it behind her. I said I did not have that .I called her back and said she cannot come back in. She said
she could not take her home. I said I am sorry but she cannot come back here. Later in the day [time
unknown], the front desk receptionist remembered seeing Resident #1 standing across the street at the
apartments walking back and forth and no one was with her. During that same time, [Resident #2] was
brought back to the facility by a female police officer while Resident #1 was still across the street. She said
ADON A called the police because she knew Resident #1 was standing across the street. The front desk
receptionist stated the staff did not bring Resident #1 back into the facility because from her understanding,
she was no longer

allowed in and that was what ADON A understood to be true as well. Once Resident #1 was back in the
building, the female police officer went over to deal with Resident #1 but she did not see what happened.
She stated, I looked back up later and they were gone. The front desk receptionist left her shift at 8:00 PM,
no one called to the facility inquiring about Resident #1 after she was gone.
An interview with the ADM on 09/12/23 at 10:00 AM revealed Resident #1 had an incident a week prior
where she was allegedly being rude to LVN I and another resident (Resident #3) told her not to be rude;
she then walked over and slapped him. ADM stated LVN I witnessed it. The ADM stated there were no
injuries and his [Resident #3] was more of a bruised [NAME]. The ADM stated the police were called and
Resident #1 was arrested, Problem is, when she got arrested, [Resident #3] wanted to press charges but
they took [Resident #1] to [hospital] who notified the facility the next day they were sending her back. The
ADM stated, I put up a fight and said less than 24 hours, you are sending her back? The ADM stated due to
his refusal to accept her back into the facility, the hospital notified his boss at the corporate level and the
ADM was then told that he had to accept Resident #1 back into the facility because she did not have any
behaviors while she was at the hospital. The ADM stated Resident #1 did not have any behaviors when she
came back from 09/06/23 through 09/09/23. The ADM stated on 09/09/23, another incident took place and
according to Resident #2 (new roommate of Resident #1), she said Resident #1 punched her on her head,
chest, and back totally unprovoked. The ADM stated the information came from Resident #2's report to RN
F, Which I am not sure how much I want to take at face value because of her dementia. The ADM stated he
told RN F what to do because Resident #2 wanted to go to the hospital and came back the same day with
no injuries. The police were notified for the alleged resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and
Resident #2 and they escorted Resident #1 from the facility but took her to a behavioral health facility along
with her family member but that facility declined to do an admission, so the facility told the family member
she would need to be taken to the hospital because she was technically discharged from our facility .Now
care was left onto police to direct what happened. The ADM stated the police left the family member and
Resident #1 at the behavioral health facility and he was under the impression the family member
transported her back to the facility because a Resident #1 was seen by a staff member [name unknown]
being dropped off across the street to the facility where there was an apartment complex. The ADM stated
the facility staff called the police on Resident #1 again and they sent a unit out, but before they arrived, he
tried to talk to Resident #1 and she told him she did not want to talk to him in a thousand years. The ADM
stated when the fire department arrived, Resident #1 refused to talk to them so they left and stated the
police were on their way. The ADM stated he had to leave the facility and go back home and ADON A called
him and said the police showed up and Resident #1 started walking away, so they gave ADON A a police
report number and followed Resident #1. The ADM stated Resident #1 was discharged from the facility and
they had tried to prevent the discharge by getting her seen for psyche services, not to discharge. He stated
Resident #1 had never been send out before these two incidents and there were no prior resident to
resident altercations since her admission in 2021. He stated when she did have a behavioral episode in the
facility, she would hit her head and make a grunting noise. The ADM stated the facility had not been able to
find a good roommate fit for Resident #1 except for one female resident who she roomed with for a couple
of days in the past two weeks before that roommate went out to the hospital. The ADM stated there was no
witness for the resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and #2 and both of them had a
diagnosis of dementia.
Review of Resident #2's clinical chart post-incident revealed no documentation of the facility speaking with
Resident #2's family about pressing charges.

revealed she did not witness Resident #1 slap Resident #3; she only heard them yelling at each other. She
was shocked to see them verbally fighting with each other and reported none of the staff seemed to be
doing anything. LVN I stated Resident #3 was alert and oriented x 4 and he was saying all of the mean
things. LVN I asked Resident #3 to stop and remember that Resident #1 was a lady.
An interview with RN F on 09/12/23 at 3:54 PM revealed he was the weekend supervisor on 09/09/23 from
7:00 AM until 11:00 PM and he was aware Resident #1 had been sent to the hospital the week prior due to
an altercation where he thought she hit someone. He said Resident #1 had been back at the facility for two
days prior to the weekend. When RN F got to work on Saturday 09/09/23, he was called to her room and
told she had gone to the roommate's bed [Resident #2] and hit her on the back, chest, and head and was
following her down the hall. When RN F arrived, he went into their room and tried to evaluate Resident #1,
who was laying in bed. He asked Resident #1 what happened and she was agitated and said, That white
woman is not my momma and I need her out of this room-she is not my roommate! RN F stated it was hard
to re-orient Resident #1 in that state and she had dementia and psyche issues. He stated psyche issues for
Resident #1 meant she always paced the hallways, was very untidy, her hair was not groomed, her clothes
were not tidy, she talked to herself and made weird noises, declined care and scared other residents away.
RN F stated after the incident, he called the police because Resident #2 wanted to file an allegation, I don't
know what for, I don't know what she told the police. He stated Resident #1's family member happened to
be at the facility but not present for the altercation and he explained the police had been contacted. RN F
stated Resident #2 did not have any injuries but was tearful. RN F stated CNA N was the person who told
him about the incident. He said he did not get into the details of what CNA N observed, but he did complete
an incident report. RN F stated he knew Resident #1 was taken to a hospital in [adjacent city] somewhere
and said the police or the family decided on where because he heard them talking. RN F stated he could
not tell the police where to take Resident #1, but they did not end up going to [Hospital PP]. RN F stated the
facility usually sent the residents to [Hospital PP] for psyche evaluations and a face sheet and medication
record would be sent with the transport provider. RN F stated he did not know how Resident #1 ended up at
the inpatient behavioral health facility. RN F stated he had called the doctor to get an order to transfer
Resident #1 to the hospital, but the doctor could not give a specific order on where to take the resident. RN
F stated, The [family member] and police decided to take her wherever they took her. RN F then clarified he
spoke to NP D to notify about the transfer, not the MD. He said NP D told him to send Resident #1 out for a
psyche evaluation. After that, RN F stated Resident # left the building and never came back that day or the
following day. To his understanding. She went to the hospital but he had no idea where they took her, but
she was not discharged from the facility. RN F stated the facility social worker normally followed up to see
where a resident was placed and which hospital they were sent to, but there was no social worker over the
weekend.
An interview with ADON A on 09/12/23 at 4:29 PM revealed she was newly employed for about a month
and had tried to intervene after an incident where Resident #1 slapped Resident #3 a week prior. ADON A
stated when trying to intervene, Resident #1 was gunning for me, she does this reaction like '[NAME]'
[ADON A was making hand gestures by her ears], cursing, saying random things like they attacked her and
not making any sense. ADON A stated when she tried to physically separate the verbal altercation between
Residents #1 and #3, Resident #1 threw ADON A up against the wall. ADON A stated the police took
Resident #1 out in handcuffs to Hospital PP. ADON A stated she did not know what Hospital PP did with
Resident #1 care wise, but she knew they completed a psychiatric evaluation. She did not know if the
facility had a copy of it and she did not get a chance to review any discharge documentation

because when Resident #1 re-admitted the next day, she was placed on a new hall/new room that ADON A
was not over because they wanted to put distance between her and Resident #3. ADON A stated Resident
#1 already had a recent room change from the upstairs hall to the downstairs hall where she got into the
altercation with Resident #1. Now she was going to be placed back upstairs, but on a different hall than she
had been on prior. ADON A stated when Resident #1 returned, the nursing staff were still trying to locate
another psyche facility because we knew it would take longer for her to stabilize. Regarding resident
transfers, ADON A stated the police or EMT decided where a resident would be transported when sent to
the hospital. She stated NP D was notified at that time. ADON A stated Resident #1 was stable when she
came back from Hospital PP. She did not know if psyche services came to visit her or adjust her
medications after she re-admitted . On 09/09/23, ADON A stated she came to the facility around 10:30 AM
and was not scheduled to work but she had gotten group texts that there was a resident to resident
altercation with Residents #1 and #2. She was the closest in the vicinity and was going to check on things.
When she arrived at the facility, NP F had already contacted the police and Resident #1's family member
was present. ADON A stated the police were hesitant in taking Resident #1 to jail and were talking about
transporting her to a hospital. ADON A went to talk to Resident #1 who was cool, calm, and collected and
laying on her bed and said she was doing fine. ADON A told Resident #1 her family member was present
and the police wanted to take her to Hospital PP. Resident #1 agreed to ride with the police. The police
handcuffed Resident #1 and ADON A cut the wander guard off her ankle and printed out her face sheet
and med sheet, gave the police and family member a copy, and told the family member to make sure
Hospital PP looked over the medication list and they left. About an hour later, ADON A was trying to clock in
and heard a housekeeping staff member say, hey, isn't that [Resident #1]? and was looking out the window
across the street. ADON A stated no, she was at Hospital PP. Then ADON A looked out the front window
and saw Resident #1 standing across the street with a bag of clothes and no one was with her. ADON A
stated she went outside and stood in the parking lot, called the ADM and then contacted the police and
asked them to do a welfare check because I wasn't sure if I could approach her. She said 911 asked her
what did she think the police would be able to do about it? She told them that Resident #1 had just
assaulted another resident and she [ADON A] did not know why the resident was not at Hospital PP. ADON
A stated Resident #1 did not come back inside during that time and no staff tried to talk to her. ADON A
stated, She had already attacked me once. By me not having any male backup, I didn't want to surround
her with a group of people. I just kept an eye on her and called 911 for a well-check. ADON A stated fire
truck arrived or ambulance, she did not talk to them and they were briefly there then left, but Resident #1
was still there. Then a police officer arrived (same officer that transported to the behavior facility an hour
earlier). ADON A asked the police officer what happened and the police officer stated they took Resident
#1 to a behavioral health facility with her family member present but they would not take the resident
because she was too aggressive and the police left her there with her family member. ADON A then asked
the police officer why did they not take Resident #2 to Hospital PP and she could not remember what the
officer's response was. ADON A stated, It was so chaotic, I was trying to bring DON up to date and keep
eyes on the resident. Police then were saying this is a fine line between criminal and dementia. She [officer]
was on the phone with [county jail] and she doubted they would take her in [as an arrest]. At one point,
Resident #1 started to walk away and the police officer said she would follow her, she could handle it, and
we never heard anything else after that. ADON A could not remember if the police officer still had the face

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
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to develop and implement written policies
and procedures that prohibit and prevent neglect for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for
neglect policies.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to provide prescribed psychotropic medications to Resident #1, who lived with dementia
and mental illness, and moved her to several different rooms in a week's time which resulted in her having
increased behaviors resulting in two separate unwitnessed resident to resident altercations. The facility
failed to notify the MD when Resident #1 refused her psychotropic medications prior to the two resident to
resident altercations. The facility did not provide Resident #1 with behavioral interventions and instead,
initiated an unplanned and inappropriate transfer that led to Resident #1 being left across the street from
the facility and subsequently arrested and incarcerated for a week. The facility was unaware Resident #1
had been arrested for two days and did not attempt to look for her and discharged her from the facility.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 09/14/23. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE]
at 1:45 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/18/23, the facility remained out of
compliance at the severity level of Actual harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy and at a scope of pattern
due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the effectiveness of its corrective systems.
This failure could affect residents and place them at risk of further abuse/neglect due to policy not being
developed/implemented.
Findings included:
Record review of the facility's police titled, Abuse Prevention and Prohibition Program, revised August 2020,
reflected, .Purpose: To ensure the Facility establishes, operationalizes and maintains and Abuse Prevention
and Prohibition Program designed to screen and train employees, protect residents, and ensure a
standardized methodology for the prevention, identification, investigation, and reporting of abuse, neglect,
mistreatment, misappropriation of property and crime in accordance with state and federal standards .III.
The Administrator is responsible for coordinating and implementing the Facility's abuse prevention policies,
procedures, training programs and systems .VIII. Protection: .D. If the allegation is regarding a resident to
resident altercation, the residents will be separated immediately, pending the investigation .IX.
Reporting/Response: .C. Reporting Requirements .ii. If the suspected physical abuse is allegedly caused by
a resident who has been diagnosed with dementia, and a Licensed Nurse reasonably determines that there
is no serious bodily injury, the Administrator, and his/her designee, shall report to the local Ombudsman or
law enforcement agency by telephone as practicably possible .v. The resident's physician and responsible
party, if applicable, will also be notified of the allegation and outcome of the investigation.
Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet (undated) reflected she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted
to the facility on [DATE] with active diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder-bipolar type (a mental
illness where the person experiences psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusions with
episodes of mania and sometimes depression), dementia-moderate with behavioral disturbance (the loss of

Review of Resident #1's progress notes reflected no documentation from 09/09/23 at 1:57 PM until
09/17/23. During this time was when Resident #1 went missing and was found by family incarcerated in the
local jail.
Record review of Resident #1's clinical chart reflected no physician transfer order to the ER or to a
behavioral health facility on 09/09/23.
Record review of Resident #1's clinical chart reflected no required facility transfer documentation/checklist
provided to the police/family member per the facility's transfer policy.
An interview with Resident #1's secondary RP/family member on 09/11/23 at 6:04 PM revealed she found
out on 09/11/23 that Resident #1 had been arrested on 09/09/23. The family member was concerned
Resident #1 had a psychotic break while at the facility and thought she did not recognize her roommate and
thought it was someone invading her privacy. The family member stated the facility reported [date unknown]
Resident #1 was being rough and mean with her roommate [Resident #2] and slapped her and another
man. The family member stated she was confused because the facility had notified her that Resident #1
was at the hospital on [DATE] because she had a mental break. When another family member/primary RP
went to provide Resident #1 cigarettes on 09/09/23, the facility asked the RP if she would ride with
Resident #1 to take her to a behavioral health hospital but did not provide her with any clinical paperwork.
The RP was dropped off with Resident #1 by the police at the behavioral health hospital and they refused
to accept Resident #1, so the RP called the police to transport Resident #1 back to the facility. The family
member stated the facility had also reported to her during this time that Resident #1 had not been taking
her medications for about a week. The family member stated once Resident #1 was supposed to be
transported back to the facility by the police, she did not hear anything from the facility until two days later
when they reported to her that Resident #1 was missing. The family member stated the facility told her on
09/11/23 the police dropped Resident #1 off across the street of the facility so they called the police and
they asked her if she knew where Resident #1 was and gave her the police report number from the incident
on 09/09/23. The family member then went to the police department to file a missing person's report on
09/11/23. The family member stated through the facility's police report number, she was able to find out
Resident #1 had been arrested for a felony charge of injury to an elderly person and was in the local county
jail with a $500 bail. The family member felt the facility was trying to get rid of Resident #1, claiming they
sent her the hospital the week prior but the hospital sent her back because it was not a psychiatric
emergency. The family member felt all of these facility behaviors were a tactic to get Resident #1 out of the
facility. The family member stated she had not been able to see Resident #1 in jail yet and she was
concerned Resident #1 was not getting any of her prescribed psychotropic medications so if she was
having a psychotic break, she would not be able to get through it. The family member felt the facility was
causing her behaviors and did not know how to deal with residents with mental health issues and were
agitating her with the transfers back and forth from the facility to the hospitals. The family member stated
the facility did not provide her any documentation about the transfers out in the past week. The family
member stated, They cut me out of the loop .they should have discussed

An interview with Resident #1's primary RP on 09/12/23 at 2:48 PM revealed on 09/08/23, she got a call
from the activity director to bring Resident #1 some cigarettes so she bought a carton and went to the
facility the following day to deliver them (9/09/23). When the primary RP arrived, she was going to drop off
the cigarettes because she was on her way to work and was using a rideshare service, however, the facility
notified her that Resident #1 had attacked someone. The RP stated she told the facility staff that did not
sound like Resident #1 and had they been messing with her medications? The RP stated, This is not the
first time and we have discussed the same thing over and over, I said I am not POA and I can't make her
take mediation, but let me tell you, when you mess with her medicine, she gets aggressive and she needs
this medicine. The RP stated the facility had never informed her that Resident #1 had been refusing her
medications for five days. She was frustrated because she felt the facility called her and the other RP often
for minor issues, but they could not call and notify them she was refusing her medications. The family
member wanted to know why the facility did not intervene when Resident #1 started to refuse her
medications. The family member stated RN F was at the facility and told her he was in charge and they had
already called the police. The RP stated, Why? Because you know she didn't take her meds and why didn't
you send her to the hospital? She said RN F stated Resident #1 did not want to be transported in an
ambulance. The RP stated she felt something was not right about the situation so she decided to stay and
see what was going to happen because she felt the facility was trying to arrest Resident #1 and she was
scared that because of her ethnicity and having mental illness, if Resident #1 ended up in jail, it would not
fare well for her. When the police arrived, the RP told them Resident #1 needed to go to the hospital
because she had been there the week before. The RP stated when she saw Resident #1 that day, she was
crazy acting, saying she was someone else, saying she saw a man who was not there and people were
sitting on her and was delusional. The RP felt the facility had a plan to dump Resident #1 because they
were supposed to facilitate the transfer to the hospital, but they began talking privately and she overheard
them say one place was full and that they were going to take her to an inpatient behavioral health facility.
The RP went with the police and Resident #1 in the police care because she felt that something was not
right. When they got to the inpatient behavioral health facility, the police dropped her and Resident #1 off
and left. The intake coordinator refused to admit Resident #1 due to her having noted aggression and said
they would not be able to force her to take her medications because it was only a behavior clinic. The RP
then called the facility to notify them of the refused admission and was told by the front desk receptionist
that Resident #1 could not come back and was not allowed back. The RP then called the local police to
come and pick up Resident #1 and they called the facility who said she could not come back; the RP told
the facility they had to accept her back. The RP then left from the inpatient behavior health facility via
rideshare to go to work because she was late and assumed the police had transported Resident #1 back to
the facility.

A interview was attempted via phone with CNA N on 09/14/23 at 11:11 AM with a voice mail left; CNA N did
not respond to request to be interviewed.
An interview with the front desk receptionist on 09/14/23 at 12:15 PM revealed she worked over the
weekend, including on 09/09/23. She stated she saw Resident #2 being taken out by EMT to the hospital
and knew the police had been called and Resident #1 had been asked to leave the facility due to an
incident between her and Resident #2. The front desk receptionist stated she saw Resident #1 escorted out
of the facility by the police and got into their SUV along with her family member. She then stated after that,
the family member called the facility and was stating the police transported Resident #1 to an inpatient
behavioral health facility and they would not admit her. The front desk receptionist notified

the ADM, and he said no, she [Resident #1] was not to be admitted back in. She could not remember what
reason the ADM gave her for refusing to let Resident #1 come back but she thought it had to do with
behavior issues. The front desk receptionist stated, I know the [family member] said the reason she needed
to come back was because [behavioral facility] would not allow her in and she needed the incident report, I
heard the police say it behind her. I said I did not have that .I called her back and said she cannot come
back in. She said she could not take her home. I said I am sorry but she cannot come back here. Later in
the day [time unknown], the front desk receptionist remembered seeing Resident #1 standing across the
street at the apartments walking back and forth and no one was with her. During that same time, [Resident
#2] was brought back to the facility by a female police officer while Resident #1 was still across the street.
She said ADON A called the police because she knew Resident #1 was standing across the street. The
front desk receptionist stated the staff did not bring Resident #1 back into the facility because from her
understanding, she was no longer allowed in and that was what ADON A understood to be true as well.
Once Resident #1 was back in the building, the female police officer went over to deal with Resident #1 but
she did not see what happened. She stated, I looked back up later and they were gone. The front desk
receptionist left her shift at 8:00 PM, no one called to the facility inquiring about Resident #1 after she was
gone.
An interview with the ADM on 09/12/23 at 10:00 AM revealed Resident #1 had an incident a week prior
where she was allegedly being rude to LVN I and another resident (Resident #3) told her not to be rude;
she then walked over and slapped him. ADM stated LVN I witnessed it. The ADM stated there were no
injuries and his [Resident #3] was more of a bruised [NAME]. The ADM stated the police were called and
Resident #1 was arrested, Problem is, when she got arrested, [Resident #3] wanted to press charges but
they took [Resident #1] to [hospital] who notified the facility the next day they were sending her back. The
ADM stated, I put up a fight and said less than 24 hours, you are sending her back? The ADM stated due to
his refusal to accept her back into the facility, the hospital notified his boss at the corporate level and the
ADM was then told that he had to accept Resident #1 back into the facility because she did not have any
behaviors while she was at the hospital. The ADM stated Resident #1 did not have any behaviors when she
came back from 09/06/23 through 09/09/23. The ADM stated on 09/09/23, another incident took place and
according to Resident #2 (new roommate of Resident #1), she said Resident #1 punched her on her head,
chest, and back totally unprovoked. The ADM stated the information came from Resident #2's report to RN
F, Which I am not sure how much I want to take at face value because of her dementia. The ADM stated he
told RN F what to do because Resident #2 wanted to go to the hospital and came back the same day with
no injuries. The police were notified for the alleged resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and
Resident #2 and they escorted Resident #1 from the facility but took her to a behavioral health facility along
with her family member but that facility declined to do an admission, so the facility told the family member
she would need to be taken to the hospital because she was technically discharged from our facility .Now
care was left onto police to direct what happened. The ADM stated the police left the family member and
Resident #1 at the behavioral health facility and he was under the impression the family member
transported her back to the facility because a Resident #1 was seen by a staff member [name unknown]
being dropped off across the street to the facility where there was an apartment complex. The ADM stated
the facility staff called the police on Resident #1 again and they sent a unit out, but before they arrived, he
tried to talk to Resident #1 and she told him she did not want to talk to him in a thousand years. The ADM
stated when the fire department arrived, Resident #1 refused to talk to them so they left and stated the
police were on their way. The ADM stated he had to leave the facility and go back home

and ADON A called him and said the police showed up and Resident #1 started walking away, so they gave
ADON A a police report number and followed Resident #1. The ADM stated Resident #1 was discharged
from the facility and they had tried to prevent the discharge by getting her seen for psyche services, not to
discharge. He stated Resident #1 had never been send out before these two incidents and there were no
prior resident to resident altercations since her admission in 2021. He stated when she did have a
behavioral episode in the facility, she would hit her head and make a grunting noise. The ADM stated the
facility had not been able to find a good roommate fit for Resident #1 except for one female resident who
she roomed with for a couple of days in the past two weeks before that roommate went out to the hospital.
The ADM stated there was no witness for the resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and #2
and both of them had a diagnosis of dementia.
Review of Resident #2's clinical chart post-incident revealed no documentation of the facility speaking with
Resident #2's family about pressing charges.
An interview with LVN I on 09/13/23 at 10:15 AM revealed she did not witness Resident #1 slap Resident
#3; she only heard them yelling at each other. She was shocked to see them verbally fighting with each
other and reported none of the staff seemed to be doing anything. LVN I stated Resident #3 was alert and
oriented x 4 and he was saying all of the mean things. LVN I asked Resident #3 to stop and remember that
Resident #1 was a lady.
An interview with RN F on 09/12/23 at 3:54 PM revealed he was the weekend supervisor on 09/09/23 from
7:00 AM until 11:00 PM and he was aware Resident #1 had been sent to the hospital the week prior due to
an altercation where he thought she hit someone. He said Resident #1 had been back at the facility for two
days prior to the weekend. When RN F got to work on Saturday 09/09/23, he was called to her room and
told she had gone to the roommate's bed [Resident #2] and hit her on the back, chest, and head and was
following her down the hall. When RN F arrived, he went into their room and tried to evaluate Resident #1,
who was laying in bed. He asked Resident #1 what happened and she was agitated and said, That white
woman is not my momma and I need her out of this room-she is not my roommate! RN F stated it was hard
to re-orient Resident #1 in that state and she had dementia and psyche issues. He stated psyche issues for
Resident #1 meant she always paced the hallways, was very untidy, her hair was not groomed, her clothes
were not tidy, she talked to herself and made weird noises, declined care and scared other residents away.
RN F stated after the incident, he called the police because Resident #2 wanted to file an allegation, I don't
know what for, I don't know what she told the police. He stated Resident #1's family member happened to
be at the facility but not present for the altercation and he explained the police had been contacted. RN F
stated Resident #2 did not have any injuries but was tearful. RN F stated CNA N was the person who told
him about the incident. He said he did not get into the details of what CNA N observed, but he did complete
an incident report. RN F stated he knew Resident #1 was taken to a hospital in [adjacent city] somewhere
and said the police or the family decided on where because he heard them talking. RN F stated he could
not tell the police where to take Resident #1, but they did not end up going to [Hospital PP]. RN F stated the
facility usually sent the residents to [Hospital PP] for psyche evaluations and a face sheet and medication
record would be sent with the transport provider. RN F stated he did not know how Resident #1 ended up at
the inpatient behavioral health facility. RN F stated he had called the doctor to get an order to transfer
Resident #1 to the hospital, but the doctor could not give a specific order on where to take the resident. RN
F stated, The [family member] and police decided to take her wherever they took her. RN F then clarified he
spoke to NP D to notify about the transfer, not the MD. He said NP D told him to send Resident #1 out for a
psyche evaluation. After that, RN F stated Resident # left the building and never came back that day or the
following day. To his understanding. She went to the

hospital but he had no idea where they took her, but she was not discharged from the facility. RN F stated
the facility social worker normally followed up to see where a resident was placed and which hospital they
were sent to, but there was no social worker over the weekend.
An interview with ADON A on 09/12/23 at 4:29 PM revealed she was newly employed for about a month
and had tried to intervene after an incident where Resident #1 slapped Resident #3 a week prior. ADON A
stated when trying to intervene, Resident #1 was gunning for me, she does this reaction like '[NAME]'
[ADON A was making hand gestures by her ears], cursing, saying random things like they attacked her and
not making any sense. ADON A stated when she tried to physically separate the verbal altercation between
Residents #1 and #3, Resident #1 threw ADON A up against the wall. ADON A stated the police took
Resident #1 out in handcuffs to Hospital PP. ADON A stated she did not know what Hospital PP did with
Resident #1 care wise, but she knew they completed a psychiatric evaluation. She did not know if the
facility had a copy of it and she did not get a chance to review any discharge documentation because when
Resident #1 re-admitted the next day, she was placed on a new hall/new room that ADON A was not over
because they wanted to put distance between her and Resident #3. ADON A stated Resident #1 already
had a recent room change from the upstairs hall to the downstairs hall where she got into the altercation
with Resident #1. Now she was going to be placed back upstairs, but on a different hall than she had been
on prior. ADON A stated when Resident #1 returned, the nursing staff were still trying to locate another
psyche facility because we knew it would take longer for her to stabilize. Regarding resident transfers,
ADON A stated the police or EMT decided where a resident would be transported when sent to the
hospital. She stated NP D was notified at that time. ADON A stated Resident #1 was stable when she came
back from Hospital PP. She did not know if psyche services came to visit her or adjust her medications after
she re-admitted . On 09/09/23, ADON A stated she came to the facility around 10:30 AM and was not
scheduled to work but she had gotten group texts that there was a resident to resident altercation with
Residents #1 and #2. She was the closest in the vicinity and was going to check on things. When she
arrived at the facility, NP F had already contacted the police and Resident #1's family member was present.
ADON A stated the police were hesitant in taking Resident #1 to jail and were talking about transporting her
to a hospital. ADON A went to talk to Resident #1 who was cool, calm, and collected and laying on her bed
and said she was doing fine. ADON A told Resident #1 her family member was present and the police
wanted to take her to Hospital PP. Resident #1 agreed to ride with the police. The police handcuffed
Resident #1 and ADON A cut the wander guard off her ankle and printed out her face sheet and med
sheet, gave the police and family member a copy, and told the family member to make sure Hospital PP
looked over the medication list and they left. About an hour later, ADON A was trying to clock in and heard
a housekeeping staff member say, hey, isn't that [Resident #1]? and was looking out the window across the
street. ADON A stated no, she was at Hospital PP. Then ADON A looked out the front window and saw
Resident #1 standing across the street with a bag of clothes and no one was with her. ADON A stated she
went outside and stood in the parking lot, called the ADM and then contacted the police and asked them to
do a welfare check because I wasn't sure if I could approach her. She said 911 asked her what did she
think the police would be able to do about it? She told them that Resident #1 had just assaulted

noted to state Resident #1 hit her. Resident #2 reported shoulder, neck and upper back pain so she was
sent to the ER and returned the same day with no physical or emotional injuries. Under the provider
response, the ADM documented both residents were immediately separated and police were notified as
well as RP, physician, ombudsman and family. The police intervened and transported Resident #1 out of the
facility. The PIR reflected, During the investigation, it was determined [Resident #2] reported to staff that
she was hit by [Resident #1] on her chest, head and back. She reported to the administrator when she was
visited that the incident was totally unprovoked. The investigation summary further reflected when Resident
#1 was brought back to the facility and left across the street after a failed transfer out, the ADM tried to talk
to her and she said she did not want to talk to him in a thousand years. The investigation findings were
unconfirmed.
An interview with the ADM on 09/12/23 at 10:00 AM revealed he was not present for the resident to
resident altercation between Residents #1 and #2 and was not in the building at the time. He stated
Resident #1 had an incident a week prior where she was allegedly being rude to LVN I and a male resident
told her not to be rude; she then walked over and slapped him. The ADM stated there were no injuries and
his was more of a bruised [NAME]. The ADM stated the police were called and Resident #1 was arrested,
Problem is, when she got arrested, wanted to press charges but they took [Resident #1] to [hospital] who
notified the facility the next day they were sending her back. The ADM stated, I put up a fight and said less
than 24 hours, you are sending her back? The ADM stated due to his refusal to accept her back into the
facility, the hospital notified his boss at the corporate level and the ADM was then told that he had to accept
Resident #1 back into the facility because she did not have any behaviors while she was at the hospital.
The ADM stated Resident #1 did not have any behaviors when she came back from 09/06/23 through
09/09/23. The ADM stated on 09/09/23, another incident took place and according to Resident #2 (new
roommate of Resident #1), she said Resident #1 punched her on her head, chest and back totally
unprovoked. The ADM stated the information came from Resident #2's report to RN F, Which I am not sure
how much I want to take at face value because of her dementia. The ADM stated he told RN F what to do
because Resident #2 wanted to go to the hospital and came back the same day with no injuries. The police
were notified for the alleged resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and Resident #2 and they
escorted Resident #1 from the facility but took her to a behavioral health facility along with her family
member but that facility declined to do an admission, so the facility told the family member she would need
to be taken to the hospital because she was technically discharged from our facility .Now care was left onto
police to direct what happened. The ADM stated the police left the family member and Resident #1 at the
behavioral health facility and he was under the impression the family member transported her back to the
facility because a Resident #1 was seen by a staff member [name unknown] being dropped off across the
street to the facility where there was an apartment complex. The ADM stated the facility staff called the
police on Resident #1 again and they sent a unit out, but before they arrived, he tried to talk to Resident #1
and she told him she did not want to talk to him in a thousand years. The ADM stated when the fire
department arrived, Resident #1 refused to talk to them so they left and stated the police were on their way.
The ADM stated he had to leave the facility and go back home and ADON A called him and said the police
showed up and Resident #1 started walking away, so they gave ADON A a police report number and
followed Resident #1. The ADM stated Resident #1 was discharged from the facility and they had tried to
prevent the discharge by getting her seen for psyche services, not to discharge. He stated Resident #1
never been send out before these two incidents and there were no prior resident to resident altercations
since her admission in 2021. He stated when she does have a behavioral episode in the facility, she would

hit her head and make a grunting noise. The ADM stated the facility had not been able to find a good
roommate fit for Resident #1 except for one female resident who she roomed with for a couple of days in
the past two weeks before that roommate went out to the hospital. The ADM stated there was no witness
for the resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and #2 and both of them had a diagnosis of
dementia.
Residents Affected - Few
An interview with RN F on 09/12/23 at 3:54 PM revealed he was the weekend supervisor on 09/09/23 from
7:00 AM until 11:00 PM and he was aware Resident #1 had been sent to the hospital the week prior due to
an altercation where he thought she hit someone. He said Resident #1 had been back at the facility for two
days prior to the weekend. When RN F got to work on Saturday 09/09/23, he was called to her room and
told she had gone to the roommate's bed [Resident #2] and hit her on the back, chest and head and was
following her down the hall. When RN F arrived, he went into their room and tried to evaluate Resident #1,
who was laying in bed. He asked Resident #1 what happened and she was agitated and said, That white
woman is not my momma and I need her out of this room-she is not my roommate! RN F stated it was hard
to re-orient Resident #1 in that state and she had dementia and psyche issues. He stated psyche issues for
Resident #1 meant she always paced the hallways, was very untidy, her hair was not groomed, her clothes
were not tidy, she talked to herself and made weird noises, declined care and scared other residents away.
RN F stated after the incident, he called the police because Resident #2 wanted to file and allegation, I
don't know what for, I don't know what she told the police. He stated Resident #1's family member
happened to be at the facility but not present for the altercation and he explained the police had been
contacted. RN F stated Resident #2 did not have any injuries but was tearful. RN F stated CNA N was the
person who told him about the incident. He said he did not get into the details of what CNA N observed, but
he did complete an incident report. RN F stated he knew Resident #1 was taken to a hospital in [adjacent
city] somewhere and said the police or the family decided on where because he heard them talking. RN F
stated he could not tell the police where to take Resident #1, but they did not end up going to [Hospital PP].
RN F stated the facility usually sent the residents to [Hospital PP] for psyche evaluations and a face sheet
and medication record would be sent with the transport provider. RN F stated he did not know how
Resident #1 ended up at the inpatient behavioral health facility. RN F stated he had called the doctor to get
an order to transfer Resident #1 to the hospital, but the doctor could not give a specific order on where to
take the resident. RN F stated, The [family member] and police decided to take her wherever they took her.
RN F then clarified he spoke to NP D to notify about the transfer, not the MD. He said NP D told him to send
Resident #1 out for a psyche evaluation. After that, RN F stated Resident # left the building and never came
back that day or the following day. To his understanding. She went to the hospital but he had no idea where
they took her, but she was not discharged from the facility.
A follow up interview with RN F on 09/16/23 at 5:08 PM revealed he did not write a witness statement
related to the alleged resident to resident altercation between Residents #1 and #2. He stated he
completed an incident report but did not actually see it happen because he was not on the hall and was
downstairs working. When he went into Resident #1's room, she was laying on the bed and Resident #2
was in the dining room, there was not a CNA with either of them. He said he did not remember the CNA
names who worked on the hall and said there was a nurse on the hall, but she split her time between two
halls that shift [LVN S]. RN F stated when he completed an assessment on Resident #2 in the dining room,
he told her she had the right to file an allegation but he wanted to know what was going on first. She told
him that Resident #1 hit her and she was scared to go back into the room. With an assault, RN F stated he
completed a head to toe assessment to make sure Resident #2 was not hurting anywhere. He stated the
intervention that he did, especially if

it involved assault, was call the police, as long as it was witnessed by someone, it can be either a resident
or a staff. RN F stated a resident who was alert and oriented could be a valid witness. RN F stated he
called 911 because they needed to come and investigate the altercation. RN F stated he told the charge
nurse LVN S, to follow up with Resident #2 and send her to the hospital.
A interview was attempted via phone with CNA N on 09/14/23 at 11:11 AM with a voice mail left; CNA N did
not respond to request to be interviewed.
An interview with the ADM on 09/15/23 at 1:07 PM revealed he did not have witness statements because
there were no witnesses, only Resident #2 stating she had been hit. The ADM stated he interviewed
Resident #2 and got a witness statement from her and it was documented in his provider investigation
report. The ADM stated he did not interview or get a statement from RN F, LVN S or CNA N because they
did not witness the resident to resident altercation.
An interview with the ADM on 09/20/23 at 2:10 PM revealed the reason the facility went the route of calling
the police on Resident #1 was because she already had an incident with a male resident a few days prior
and the ADM did not want a situation where things were escalating. He said the police were only called on
09/09/23 because she allegedly got aggressive with Resident #2.
An interview with the MD on 09/13/23 at 4:38 PM revealed the facility did not notify him about Resident #1
being in jail. He only had heard that she was hitting someone. The MD stated the facility was pretty good
about handling resident to resident altercations and it was not typical to call the police on altercations with
older residents with dementia with behaviors. The MD stated, Most of the time, we put it as acute
psychosis. Might be an infection going on with the patient and they became unstable, electrolyte
abnormalities, not taking meds. The MD stated he was a hospitalist by trade so what he wanted was the
facility to notify him for those types of incidents and he would have that resident directly admitted to the
hospital, check them out, and stabilize them. The MD stated he was a physician at one hospital and had a
contract with two hospitals for admission privileges. The MD stated, It is easy for me to navigate that
process and the facility knows that. He stated if a resident freaked out during a behavioral emergency and
they were not thinking clearly, then he would want the charge nurse to call him and he would admit the
resident for acute psychosis for admission. The MD stated, Especially with [Resident #1] because she is an
older lady, I remember her face. If she was like that, I would have had her directly admitted instead of
calling police. I would have had them call EMS and from there I can then stabilized her and send her back.
The MD stated that was the protocol the nurses typically followed, but it all depended on who was working
at the time of an incident. The MD stated, There are nurses who are real good who can catch it [behavior]
and navigate that so I can do something about it and then there are nurses who freak out and call the
police. I have done it so many times, I can get the patient stabilized. The MD stated he did not know if police
should be making decisions about where to take the residents because they were not clinical and did not
understand. He stated Resident #1 should not be in jail, she was not mentally stable, her BIMS was low
and there was no way a lady like her should be I jail, so I would have a problem with that because that is
not where she should be. The police should have taken her and gotten information, at least let me know,
then kind of gone through the process and I would have had them take her to the hospital. The MD stated
there needed to be a facility protocol on transferring residents out for behavioral episodes/ resident to
resident altercations. The MD stated he was not contacted for his input by the abuse/neglect coordinator for
Resident #1's alleged altercation with Resident #2.
An interview with the MHNP on 09/13/23 at 2:47 PM revealed she was the psychiatric nurse for the facility
residents and was unaware Resident #1, who was her patient, was in jail. She stated her

impression was the facility had a policy of sending people out if they hit another resident. She stated she
was not contacted nor involved with the two resident to resident altercations Resident #1 had been in
during the past week. She stated Resident #1 had never been physically aggressive, She's had manic
episodes where she's difficult to redirect and delusional, but she's never been violent ever. The MHNP
stated she was not contacted for her input by the abuse/neglect coordinator for Resident #1's alleged
altercation with Resident #2.
An interview with Resident #2 on 09/14/23 at 10:00 AM revealed she did not remember anyone hitting her
or that she had a roommate recently. Resident #2 stated she had a previous roommate for about two to four
months and she was still somewhere in the facility, but she never hit her. Resident #2 stated, I don't
remember anything, my memory is growing very short. Then Resident #2 stated maybe someone did hit
her, but she could not remember who it was or the gender. Resident #2 stated she had been moved
recently to her room because the facility told her they needed to block rooms out for people that were sick
and she did not have a choice. When asked if she felt safe, Resident #2 replied yes and no. She stated
there were too many people coming into her room at night and she did not know who they were and felt
some of her items were missing in the mornings and there were not enough staff working on the weekends.
Resident #2 stated, I've never complained of someone hitting me that I can remember.

she was not aware Resident #1 had come back from Hospital PP a few days prior (date unknown) and it
was the morning of 09/09/23 she saw noticed she was now on her hall. She was passing medication on
another hall (time unknown) when she remembered hearing some hollering and went to see what
happened. CNA N stated Resident #1 hit Resident #2 in the back of the head, back and chest and had
witnessed it. LVN O went to Resident #1's room and Resident #2 was taken to the dining room. Resident #1
was laying in the bed like nothing happened. Resident #1 told LVN O, I don't like that white woman. She
ain't my momma and can't tell me what to do. LVN O stated CNA N told her Resident #2 reported she
asked Resident #1 to pick up something in the bathroom and that was when Resident #1 told her You aint
my momma and you can't tell me what to do. LVN I stated after that, as long as Resident #1 and #2 were
separated, LVN O was okay. She notified RN F he was the weekend supervisor and reported what
happened. He told LVN O not to worry about it, he would write the incident report. LVN O stated she went
back onto her halls doing her duties. LVN O stated she was not interviewed by the abuse/neglect
coordinator after the resident to resident altercation between Residents #1 and #2.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide and document sufficient preparation
and orientation to residents to ensure safe and orderly transfer or discharge from the facility for one
(Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for transfer and discharge rights.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide or document sufficient preparation for an orderly transfer when Resident #1
allegedly got into an unwitnessed physical altercation with her new roommate.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 09/14/23. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE]
at 1:45 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/18/23, the facility remained out of
compliance at the severity level of Actual harm that is not Immediate Jeopardy and at a scope of pattern
due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the effectiveness of its corrective systems.
This failure could place residents at risk of a disruption in their care and services and denying them and
their RP a voice regarding their treatment plan, worsen physical and mental conditions, cause physical and
emotional injury and potential hospitalization.

-Review of Resident #1's progress notes reflected no documentation from 09/09/23 at 1:57 PM until
09/17/23. During this time was when Resident #1 went missing and was found by family incarcerated in the
local jail.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #1's clinical chart reflected no physician transfer order to the ER or to a
behavioral health facility on 09/09/23.
Record review of Resident #1's clinical chart reflected no required facility transfer documentation/checklist
provided to the police/family member per the facility's transfer policy.
An interview with Resident #1's secondary RP/family member on 09/11/23 at 6:04 PM revealed she found
out on 09/11/23 that Resident #1 had been arrested on 09/09/23. The family member was concerned
Resident #1 had a psychotic break while at the facility and thought she did not recognize her roommate and
thought it was someone invading her privacy. The family member stated the facility reported [date unknown]
Resident #1 was being rough and mean with her roommate [Resident #2] and slapped her and another
man. The family member stated she was confused because the facility had notified her that Resident #1
was at the hospital on [DATE] because she had a mental break. When another family member/primary RP
went to provide Resident #1 cigarettes on 09/09/23, the facility asked the RP if she would ride with
Resident #1 to take her to a behavioral health hospital but did not provide her with any clinical paperwork.
The RP was dropped off with Resident #1 by the police at the behavioral health hospital and they refused
to accept Resident #1, so the RP called the police to transport Resident #1 back to the facility. The family
member stated the facility had also reported to her during this time that Resident #1 had not been taking
her medications for about a week. The family member stated once Resident #1 was supposed to be
transported back to the facility by the police, she did not hear anything from the facility until two days later
when they reported to her that Resident #1 was missing. The family member stated the facility told her on
09/11/23 the police dropped Resident #1 off across the street of the facility so they called the police and
they asked her if she knew where Resident #1 was and gave her the police report number from the incident
on 09/09/23. The family member then went to the police department to file a missing person's report on
09/11/23. The family member stated through the facility's police report number, she was able to find out
Resident #1 had been arrested for a felony charge of injury to an elderly person and was in the local county
jail with a $500 bail. The family member felt the facility was trying to get rid of Resident #1, claiming they
sent her the hospital the week prior but the hospital sent her back because it was not a psychiatric
emergency. The family member felt all of these facility behaviors were a tactic to get Resident #1 out of the
facility. The family member stated she had not been able to see Resident #1 in jail yet and she was
concerned Resident #1 was not getting any of her prescribed psychotropic medications so if she was
having a psychotic break, she would not be able to get through it. The family member felt the facility was
causing her behaviors and did not know how to deal with residents with mental health issues and were
agitating her with the transfers back and forth from the facility to the hospitals. The family member stated
the facility did not provide her any documentation about the transfers out in the past week. The family
member stated, They cut me out of the loop .they should have discussed that [transfers/behaviors] with us
to work with them.
An interview with Resident #1's primary RP on 09/12/23 at 2:48 PM revealed on 09/08/23, she got a call
from the activity director to bring Resident #1 some cigarettes so she bought a carton and went to the
facility the following day to deliver them (9/09/23). When the primary RP arrived, she was going to drop off
the cigarettes because she was on her way to work and was using a rideshare service,

however, the facility notified her that Resident #1 had attacked someone. The RP stated she told the facility
staff that did not sound like Resident #1 and had they been messing with her medications? The RP stated,
This is not the first time and we have discussed the same thing over and over, I said I am not POA and I
can't make her take mediation, but let me tell you, when you mess with her medicine, she gets aggressive
and she needs this medicine. The RP stated the facility had never informed her that Resident #1 had been
refusing her medications for five days. She was frustrated because she felt the facility called her and the
other RP often for minor issues, but they could not call and notify them she was refusing her medications.
The family member wanted to know why the facility did not intervene when Resident #1 started to refuse
her medications. The family member stated RN F was at the facility and told her he was in charge and they
had already called the police. The RP stated, Why? Because you know she didn't take her meds and why
didn't you send her to the hospital? She said RN F stated Resident #1 did not want to be transported in an
ambulance. The RP stated she felt something was not right about the situation so she decided to stay and
see what was going to happen because she felt the facility was trying to arrest Resident #1 and she was
scared that because of her ethnicity and having mental illness, if Resident #1 ended up in jail, it would not
fare well for her. When the police arrived, the RP told them Resident #1 needed to go to the hospital
because she had been there the week before. The RP stated when she saw Resident #1 that day, she was
crazy acting, saying she was someone else, saying she saw a man who was not there and people were
sitting on her and was delusional. The RP felt the facility had a plan to dump Resident #1 because they
were supposed to facilitate the transfer to the hospital, but they began talking privately and she overheard
them say one place was full and that they were going to take her to an inpatient behavioral health facility.
The RP went with the police and Resident #1 in the police care because she felt that something was not
right. When they got to the inpatient behavioral health facility, the police dropped her and Resident #1 off
and left. The intake coordinator refused to admit Resident #1 due to her having noted aggression and said
they would not be able to force her to take her medications because it was only a behavior clinic. The RP
then called the facility to notify them of the refused admission and was told by the front desk receptionist
that Resident #1 could not come back and was not allowed back. The RP then called the local police to
come and pick up Resident #1 and they called the facility who said she could not come back; the RP told
the facility they had to accept her back. The RP then left from the inpatient behavior health facility via
rideshare to go to work because she was late and assumed the police had transported Resident #1 back to
the facility.
An interview with the front desk receptionist on 09/14/23 at 12:15 PM revealed she worked over the
weekend, including on 09/09/23. She stated she saw Resident #2 being taken out by EMT to the hospital
and knew the police had been called and Resident #1 had been asked to leave the facility due to an
incident between her and Resident #2. The front desk receptionist stated she saw Resident #1 escorted out
of the facility by the police and got into their SUV along with her family member. She then stated after that,
the family member called the facility and was stating the police transported Resident #1 to an inpatient
behavioral health facility and they would not admit her Resident #1. The front desk receptionist notified the
ADM, and he said no, she [Resident #1] was not to be admitted back in. She could not remember what
reason the ADM gave her for refusing to let Resident #1 come back but she thought it had to do with
behavior issues. The front desk receptionist stated, I know the [family member] said the reason she needed
to come back was because [behavioral facility] would not allow her in and she needed the incident report, I
heard the police say it behind her. I said I did not have that .I called her back and said she cannot come
back in. She said she could not take her home. I said I am sorry but

she cannot come back here. Later in the day [time unknown], the front desk receptionist remembered
seeing Resident #1 standing across the street at the apartments walking back and forth and no one was
with her. During that same time, Resident #2was brought back to the facility by a female police officer while
Resident #1 was still across the street. She said ADON A called the police because she knew Resident #1
was standing across the street. The front desk receptionist stated the staff did not bring Resident #1 back
into the facility because from her understanding, she was no longer allowed in and that was what ADON A
understood to be true as well. Once Resident #1 was back in the building, the female police officer went
over to deal with Resident #1 but she did not see what happened. She stated, I looked back up later and
they were gone. The front desk receptionist left her shift at 8:00 PM, no one called to the facility inquiring
about Resident #1 after she was gone.
An interview with the ADM on 09/12/23 at 10:00 AM revealed Resident #1 had an incident a week prior
where she was allegedly being rude to LVN I and another resident (Resident #3) told her not to be rude;
she then walked over and slapped him. ADM stated LVN I witnessed it. The ADM stated there were no
injuries and his [Resident #3] was more of a bruised [NAME]. The ADM stated the police were called and
Resident #1 was arrested, Problem is, when she got arrested, [Resident #3] wanted to press charges but
they took [Resident #1] to [hospital] who notified the facility the next day they were sending her back. The
ADM stated, I put up a fight and said less than 24 hours, you are sending her back? The ADM stated due to
his refusal to accept her back into the facility, the hospital notified his boss at the corporate level and the
ADM was then told that he had to accept Resident #1 back into the facility because she did not have any
behaviors while she was at the hospital. The ADM stated Resident #1 did not have any behaviors when she
came back from 09/06/23 through 09/09/23. The ADM stated on 09/09/23, another incident took place and
according to Resident #2 (new roommate of Resident #1), she said Resident #1 punched her on her head,
chest and back totally unprovoked. The ADM stated the information came from Resident #2's report to RN
F, Which I am not sure how much I want to take at face value because of her dementia. The ADM stated he
told RN F what to do because Resident #2 wanted to go to the hospital and came back the same day with
no injuries. The police were notified for the alleged resident to resident altercation between Resident #1 and
Resident #2 and they escorted Resident #1 from the facility but took her to a behavioral health facility along
with her family member but that facility declined to do an admission, so the facility told the family member
she would need to be taken to the hospital because she was technically discharged from our facility .Now
care was left onto police to direct what happened. The ADM stated the police left the family member and
Resident #1 at the behavioral health facility and he was under the impression the family member
transported her back to the facility because a Resident #1 was seen by a staff member [name unknown]
being dropped off across the street to the facility where there was an apartment complex. The ADM stated
the facility staff called the police on Resident #1 again and they sent a unit out, but before they arrived, he
tried to talk to Resident #1 and she told him she did not want to talk to him in a thousand years. The ADM
stated when the fire department arrived, Resident #1 refused to talk to them so they left and stated the
police were on their way. The ADM stated he had to leave the facility and go back home and ADON A called
him and said the police showed up and Resident #1 started walking away, so they gave ADON A a police
report number and followed Resident #1. The ADM stated Resident #1 was discharged from the facility and
they had tried to prevent the discharge by getting her seen for psyche services, not to discharge. He stated
Resident #1 never been send out before these two incidents and there were no prior resident to resident
altercations since her admission in 2021. He stated when she does have a behavioral episode in the facility,
she would hit her head and make a grunting noise.

The ADM stated the facility had not been able to find a good roommate fit for Resident #1 except for one
female resident who she roomed with for a couple of days in the past two weeks before that roommate went
out to the hospital. The ADM stated there was no witness for the resident to resident altercation between
Resident #1 and #2 and both of them had a diagnosis of dementia.
An interview with LVN I on 09/13/23 at 10:15 AM revealed she did not witness Resident #1 slap Resident
#3, she only heard them yelling at each other. She was shocked to see them verbally fighting with each
other and reported none of the staff seemed to be doing anything. LVN I stated Resident #3 was alert and
oriented x 4 and he was saying all of the mean things. LVN I asked Resident #3 to stop and remember that
Resident #1 was a lady.
An interview with RN F on 09/12/23 at 3:54 PM revealed he was the weekend supervisor on 09/09/23 from
7:00 AM until 11:00 PM and he was aware Resident #1 had been sent to the hospital the week prior due to
an altercation where he thought she hit someone. He said Resident #1 had been back at the facility for two
days prior to the weekend. When RN F got to work on Saturday 09/09/23, he was called to her room and
told she had gone to the roommate's bed [Resident #2] and hit her on the back, chest and head and was
following her down the hall. When RN F arrived, he went into their room and tried to evaluate Resident #1,
who was laying in bed. He asked Resident #1 what happened and she was agitated and said, That white
woman is not my momma and I need her out of this room-she is not my roommate! RN F stated it was hard
to re-orient Resident #1 in that state and she had dementia and psyche issues. He stated psyche issues for
Resident #1 meant she always paced the hallways, was very untidy, her hair was not groomed, her clothes
were not tidy, she talked to herself and made weird noises, declined care and scared other residents away.
RN F stated after the incident, he called the police because Resident #2 wanted to file and allegation, I
don't know what for, I don't know what she told the police. He stated Resident #1's family member
happened to be at the facility but not present for the altercation and he explained the police had been
contacted. RN F stated Resident #2 did not have any injuries but was tearful. RN F stated CNA N was the
person who told him about the incident. He said he did not get into the details of what CNA N observed, but
he did complete an incident report. RN F stated he knew Resident #1 was taken to a hospital in [adjacent
city] somewhere and said the police or the family decided on where because he heard them talking. RN F
stated he could not tell the police where to take Resident #1, but they did not end up going to [Hospital PP].
RN F stated the facility usually sent the residents to [Hospital PP] for psyche evaluations and a face sheet
and medication record would be sent with the transport provider. RN F stated he did not know how
Resident #1 ended up at the inpatient behavioral health facility. RN F stated he had called the doctor to get
an order to transfer Resident #1 to the hospital, but the doctor could not give a specific order on where to
take the resident. RN F stated, The [family member] and police decided to take her wherever they took her.
RN F then clarified he spoke to NP D to notify about the transfer, not the MD. He said NP D told him to send
Resident #1 out for a psyche evaluation. After that, RN F stated Resident # left the building and never came
back that day or the following day. To his understanding. She went to the hospital but he had no idea where
they took her, but she was not discharged from the facility. RN F stated the facility social worker normally
followed up to see where a resident was placed and which hospital they were sent to, but there was no
social worker over the weekend.
An interview with ADON A on 09/12/23 at 4:29 PM revealed she was newly employed for about a month
and had tried to intervene after an incident where Resident #1 slapped Resident #3 a week prior. ADON A
stated when trying to intervene, Resident #1 was gunning for me, she does this reaction like '[NAME]'

separate the verbal altercation between Resident #1 and #3, Resident #1 threw ADON A up against the
wall. ADON A stated the police took Resident #1 out in handcuffs to Hospital PP. ADON A stated she did
not know what Hospital PP did with Resident #1 care wise, but she knew they completed a psychiatric
evaluation. She did not know if the facility had a copy of it and she did not get a chance to review any
discharge documentation because when Resident #1 re-admitted the next day, she was placed on a new
hall/new room that ADON A was not over because they wanted to put distance between her and Resident
#3. ADON A stated Resident #1 already had a recent room change from the upstairs hall to the downstairs
hall where she got into the altercation with Resident #1. Now she was going to be placed back upstairs, but
on a different hall than she had been on prior. ADON A stated when Resident #1 returned, the nursing staff
were still trying to locate another psyche facility because we knew it would take longer for her to stabilize.
Regarding resident transfers, ADON A state the police or EMT decide where a resident would be
transported when sent to the hospital. She stated NP D was notified at that time. ADON A stated Resident
#1 was stable when she came back from Hospital PP. She did not know if psyche services came to visit her
or adjust her medications after she re-admitted . On 09/09/23, ADON A stated she came to the facility
around 10:30 AM and was not scheduled to work but she had gotten group text that there was a resident to
resident altercation with Resident #1 and #2. She was the closest in the vicinity and was going to check on
things. When she arrived at the facility, NP F had already contacted the police and Resident #1's family
member was present. ADON A stated they police were hesitant in taking Resident #1 to jail and were
talking about transporting her to a hospital. ADON A went to talk to Resident #1 who was cool, calm and
collected and laying on her bed and said she was doing fine. ADON A told Resident #1 her family member
was present and the police wanted to take her to Hospital PP. Resident #1 agreed to ride with the police.
The police handcuffed Resident #1 and ADON A cut the wander guard off her ankle and printed out her
face sheet and med sheet, gave the police and family member a copy, and told the family member to make
sure Hospital PP looked over the medication list and they left. About an hour later, ADON A was trying to
clock in and heard a housekeeping staff member say, hey, isn't that [Resident #1]? and was looking out the
window across the street. ADON A stated no, she was at Hospital PP. Then ADON A looked out the front
window and saw Resident #1 standing across the street with a bag of clothes and no one was with her.
ADON A stated she went outside and stood in the parking lot, called the ADM and then contacted the
police and asked them to do a welfare check because I wasn't sure if I could approach her. She said 911
asked her what did she think the police would be able to do about it? She told them that Resident #1 had
just assaulted another resident and she [ADON A] did not know why the resident was not at Hospital PP.
ADON A stated Resident #1 did not come back inside during that time and no staff tried to talk to her.
ADON A stated, She had already attacked me once. By me not having any male backup, I didn't want to
surround her with a group of people. I just kept an eye on her and called 911 for a well-check. ADON A
stated fire truck arrived or ambulance, she did not talk to them and they were briefly there then left, but
Resident #1 was still there. Then a police officer arrived (same officer that transported to the behavior
facility an hour earlier). ADON A asked the police officer what happened and the police officer stated they
took Resident #1 to a behavioral health facility with her family member present but they would not take the
resident because she was too aggressive and the police left her there with her family member. ADON A
then asked the police officer why did they not take Resident #2 to Hospital PP and she could not remember
what the officer's response was. ADON A stated, It was so chaotic, I was trying to bring DON up to date
and keep eyes on the resident. Police then were saying this is a fine line between criminal and dementia.

[county jail] and she doubted they would take her in [as an arrest]. At one point, Resident #1 started to walk
away and the police officer said she would follow her, she could handle it, and we never heard anything
else after that. ADON A could not remember if the police officer still had the face sheet and med list from
earlier. ADON A stated she and the DON walked back into the facility and she did not know what ended up
happening to Resident #1. ADON A stated the facility DON and C-RN were trying to find out where
Resident #1 was, but they did not consider her missing because the police were on the trail. She did not
know if the police ended up picking Resident #1 on 09/09/23. ADON stated she had hoped the police officer
would have come back to the facility and let them know, I should have followed them, but I didn't. ADON A
stated if she could do things differently, she would have tried to go across the street and talk to Resident #1
to see what the facility could do to help her, even if it was to come back into the facility, But I was afraid to
approach her, I wasn't familiar with her a whole lot. I really wish I had just talked to her.
An attempt was made to contact the female police officer (name provided by ADON A) on 09/13/23 at 1:15
PM. Message was left with the station intake staff, police report number provided and HHSC investigator
contact information, date and location of the incident and she stated she would look up information and
send the officer an email requesting her to contact the HHSC investigator.
An interview with the ADM on 09/12/23 at 5:37 PM revealed he had just found out that the police took
Resident #1 to jail and had just gotten off the phone with them but could not say who he talked to or their
title. The ADM stated, She is discharged at this point.
An interview with the DON on 09/13/23 at 12:38 PM revealed the purpose of police coming to the facility
after a resident to resident incident was just the facility protocol/ She said when the police came out,
depending on the situation and what was going on, they questioned both sides and depending on how each
side responds, pretty much determines if they take them or not. The DON stated the police would always
leave a police report number regardless because the facility needed it for their self-report to HHSC. She
said just because the police come out, did not mean they always took the resident with them to jail. The
DON stated a lot of times for residents with behaviors, Hospital PP was the place of choice. The DON
stated Resident #1 used to be on the 600 Hall and did not have a roommate, then was recently moved
9date unknown) to the 100 hall because there were new admissions coming in and they needed her room.
They placed her with a roommate who ended up having to go out to the hospital for about a week. During
that time, Resident #1 got into the altercation with Resident #3 where she slapped him and she was sent to
Hospital PP for evaluation and came b[TRUNCATED]

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered
comprehensive care plan for each resident that included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, mental and psychosocial needs that were identified in the comprehensive
assessment for one (Resident #5) of ten residents reviewed for care plans.
Resident #5's care plan was not individualized and did not address her wounds.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving individualized care and services to meet their
needs.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #5's Face Sheet (undated) reflected she was a [AGE] year old woman admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. Her active diagnoses included parastomal hernia with obstruction (a condition
wherein abdominal contents, typically the bowel or greater omentum (a fold of peritoneum connecting the
stomach with other abdominal organs), protrude through abdominal integuments surrounded by the hernia
sac at the location of formed stoma).
Record review of Resident #5's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected she rarely understood
others and her BIMS score was a 03, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #5 had no
behaviors, rejection of care or psychosis. Resident #5 required extensive assistance of one to two staff for
her ADLs and used a wheelchair for ambulation. Resident #5 was always incontinent of bladder and bowel.
Resident #5 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries but did not have a pressure ulcer/injury
during the assessment period. Resident #5 did not have any other ulcers, wounds or skin problems or
treatments.
Record Review on 09/12/23 of Resident #5's care plan initiated 08/12/23 and last revised on 08/30/23
revealed no discussion of her wounds and interventions to be used.
Review of Resident #5's Weekly Wound Progress Note dated 09/05/23 reflected she had one wound on the
right side of her stoma identified on 08/29/23, with moderate red and thin exudate, no odor, with tissue
granulation, surrounding skin was normal with clean and intact wound margins. The wound dimensions
were 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 0.7cm and the wound had shown improvement. Physician's wound orders were to
clean with normal saline, pat dry and apply calcium alginate every day and as needed.
Review of Resident #5's Weekly Wound Progress Note dated 09/19/23 reflected she had an additional
wound on her abdomen with moderate, thick exudate, with an odor present and granulation tissue. The
dimensions of the wound were 1cm x 2cm x 0.5cm and the wound had shown improvement. The
physician's wound orders were to clean with normal saline, pat dry and apply calcium alginate every day
and as needed.
An interview with MDS LVN P on 09/14/23 at 3:01 PM revealed she had been employed at the facility for
three months. She stated she had been working by herself in the position since the middle of August 2023
and there was also some help PRN. MDS LVN P stated she was in charge of completing the new
admission care plans within 14 days and then updated them with each quarterly/annual MDS assessment.

She stated a care plan was outlining how the facility planned to take care of a resident. She stated the MDS
nurse or nurses could update the care plans as needed for acute issues. She stated the care plan meetings
are done in part, to determine what was helping the resident, any new interventions needed or any other
information between staff and resident if they had something to contribute. She stated the CNAs typically
did not attend. MDS LVN P stated it was important for everyone to know what the plan of care was. MDS
LVN P stated she knew what needed to be on a care plan based on what MDS CAAs triggered, as well as
from her own experience. MDS LVN P stated she made sure the care planned sections were completed for
resident diagnosis, CAA areas, high risk issues and medications. MDS LVN P stated she got her
information for the care plans from going through the residents' hospital records, looking at the BIMS
section the nurses completed and reviewing the doctor's H&P if it was available. MDS LVN P stated the
nurses, social workers, dietary manager and ADONs could all go into a care plan document and
update/edit it for new issues and interventions.
An interview with Wound Care LVN DD on 09/21/23 at 1:35 PM revealed if a resident developed a new
wound, she was the one who usually updated the care plan, but the MDS nurse would do it as well, We
work together on it.

interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were seen by a physician at least once
every 30 days for the first 90 days after admission, and at least once every 60 days thereafter or alternate
between personal visits by the physician and visits by a physician assistant, nurse practitioner or clinical
nurse specialist for four (Residents #1, #2, #4 and #5) of four residents reviewed for physician services.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure Residents #1, #2, #4 and #5 were seen by their attending physician at least
once every 60 days. The attending physician's extenders were completing all visits for the residents, not
alternating visits with the physician.
The failure could place residents at an increased risk of not receiving appropriate and adequate medical
care and a lack of oversight by the physician, which could place the residents at risk of harm and health
decline.

facility. RN F stated he had only seen the MD once when he was in new employee orientation about a
month prior, but he had seen the MD's extenders often. He did not know who was in charge of ensuring the
MD completed his visits with the residents. RN F stated the MD was not able to see all the residents in the
facility, so as the CNA were the eyes for the nurses, the extenders were the eyes for the MD.
An interview with ADON A on 09/12/23 at 4:29 PM revealed she saw the MD twice the week prior. She
stated MD was the medical director as well as the attending physician for all the residents in the facility.
ADON A stated she thought medical records staff were in charge of making sure he was completing his
visits and turning in progress notes. ADON A stated the physician needed to see the residents face to face
so they would know who he was and he laid eyes on them, as well as it was the appropriate thing to do.
An interview with ADON B on 09/12/23 at 5:35 PM revealed she saw the MD two to three times a week and
he was the medical director and attending physician for all the residents in the facility. ADON B stated the
MD needed to see the residents periodically, Just to see the patient and keep up with them, do their
assessments, get a clear picture of how the patient is.
A confidential interview on 09/12/23 revealed when the MD was at the facility, and the nurse wanted to talk
to him, he would tell the nurse to let his nurse practitioner know whatever it was, and he would walk off. The
nursing staff stated they had never seen the MD go into a resident's room and talk to them.
An interview with MR M on 09/13/23 at 11:57 AM revealed MD came twice a week to see the skilled
residents and then he will also choose one hall to work on for his face-to-face visits. MR M stated it took
about one and a half months for the MD to see all of the residents in the facility. She stated the MD was the
only attending physician for the facility and was also the medical director. MR M also stated the MD had two
physician extenders (NP D and PA E) who rotated their visits and came once a week as well. MR M stated
she did not have physician notes for the MD's visits and it had been awhile since he sent any in. MR M
stated it was important for the MD to see the residents because with the new residents, he was supposed
to see them within seven days and then for the long-term care residents, every 30 days, then every 90
days, But that isn't happening.
A confidential interview on 09/13/23 revealed the ADM had been asked already if another physician could
be brought on board to help the MD and the resident caseload but the individual did not know if any
progress was being made on that. The individual stated the MD had too much going on with the resident
population at the facility and he was not doing his job.
An interview with the DON on 09/13/23 at 12:38 PM revealed the MD came to the facility but did not see
every resident because the census was around 180 and he had all of them, along with his physician
extenders.
An interview with the C-RN on 09/13/23 at 2:00 PM revealed the MD was required to visit a resident he was
the attending physician for every 60 days and complete a general progress note for that visit and then
complete a yearly H&P. The C-RN stated the MD did come to the facility to see residents and there had
been no reports of him not turning in his progress notes.
An interview with the MD on 09/13/23 at 4:38 PM revealed he did complete H&P's for the residents and it
would be located in the online e-chart. The MD stated his physician extenders (NP D and PA E)

Residents Affected - Some
Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with mental
disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma and/or post-traumatic stress
disorder.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who displayed or is
diagnosed with a mental disorder or psychosocial adjustment difficulty, or who has a history of trauma
and/or post-traumatic stress disorder, received appropriate treatment and services to correct the assessed
problem or to attain the highest practicable mental and psychosocial well-being for two (Residents #1 and
#4) of five residents reviewed for psychosocial concerns.
1) The facility management and staff did not observe and intervene for manifestations related to mental and
psychosocial adjustment difficulties when Resident #1, who lived with dementia with behavioral disturbance
and mental illness was changed to three different rooms in a week, after she had been living in a room
alone for most of 2023. When Resident #1 was moved to a new hall/floor, she slapped a male resident who
lived across the hall from her on 09/05/23 and then moved to a different room on a new hall/floor and
placed with an unfamiliar roommate and allegedly got into an unwitnessed physical altercation with her new
roommate on 09/09/23
2) The facility management and staff failed to provide adequate person-centered behavioral interventions to
ensure Resident #1's safety when they failed to bring her back into the facility after a failed hospital transfer
after a resident to resident altercation and she was left outside across the street and subsequently arrested
by the police.
3) The facility failed to provide Resident #1 with her psychotropic medications consistently prior to her
having two resident-to-resident altercations. The facility med aides and nurses were documenting Resident
#1 refused her psychotropic medications consistently (including an antipsychotic, mood stabilizer and
antidepressant) without notifying the charge nurses, nursing management and physician. The med aide and
nurses were not completing any documentation of the refusals and what intervention/orders were put in
place to maintain the resident's medication regime. Resident #1 subsequently had two resident to resident
altercations and was arrested and jailed for a week.
4) The facility staff failed to document any follow up post-discharge or put any interventions in place after
Resident #4 returned to the facility after being sent to the hospital for expressing suicidal ideations
5) The facility failed to provide Resident #4 with his routine anti-anxiety medication for six days.
6) The facility staff and management did not follow their Behavior Management Policy when Residents #1
and #4 had a change in mental health condition.
An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 09/14/23. The IJ Template was provided to the facility on [DATE]
at 1:45 PM. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 09/18/23, the facility remained out of
compliance at the severity level of potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy and
at a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to implement and monitor the effectiveness of its corrective
systems.
These failures placed residents with a history of mental disorder or psychosocial concerns at risk

An interview with Resident #1's secondary RP/family member on 09/11/23 at 6:04 PM revealed she found
out on 09/11/23 that Resident #1 had been arrested on 09/09/23. The family member was concerned
Resident #1 had a psychotic break while at the facility and thought she did not recognize her roommate and
thought it was someone invading her privacy. The family member stated the facility reported [date unknown]
Resident #1 was being rough and mean with her roommate [Resident #2] and slapped her and another
man. The family member stated she was confused because the facility had notified her that Resident #1
was at the hospital on [DATE] because she had a mental break. When another family member/primary RP
went to provide Resident #1 cigarettes on 09/09/23, the facility asked the RP if she would ride with
Resident #1 to take her to a behavioral health hospital but did not provide her with any clinical paperwork.
The RP was dropped off with Resident #1 by the police at the behavioral health hospital and they refused
to accept Resident #1, so the RP called the police to transport Resident #1 back to the facility. The family

her medications for about a week. The family member stated once Resident #1 was supposed to be
transported back to the facility by the police, she did not hear anything from the facility until two days later
when they reported to her that Resident #1 was missing. The family member stated the facility told her on

they asked her if she knew where Resident #1 was and gave her the police report number from the incident
on 09/09/23. The family member then went to the police department to file a missing person's report on
09/11/23. The family member stated through the facility's police report number, she was able to find out
Resident #1 had been arrested for a felony charge of injury to an elderly person and was in the local county
jail with a $500 bail. The family member felt the facility was trying to get rid of Resident #1, claiming they
sent her the hospital the week prior but the hospital sent her back because it was not a psychiatric
emergency. The family member felt all of these facility behaviors were a tactic to get Resident #1 out of the
facility. The family member stated she had not been able to see Resident #1 in jail yet and she was
concerned Resident #1 was not getting any of her prescribed psychotropic medications so if

she was having a psychotic break, she would not be able to get through it. The family member felt the
facility was causing her behaviors and did not know how to deal with residents with mental health issues
and were agitating her with the transfers back and forth from the facility to the hospitals. The family member
stated the facility did not provide her any documentation about the transfers out in the past week. The family
member stated, They cut me out of the loop .they should have discussed that [transfers/behaviors] with us
to work with them.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview with Resident #1's primary RP on 09/12/23 at 2:48 PM revealed on 09/08/23, she got a call
from the activity director to bring Resident #1 some cigarettes so she bought a carton and went to the
facility the following day to deliver them (9/09/23). When the primary RP arrived, she was going to drop off
the cigarettes because she was on her way to work and was using a rideshare service, however, the facility
notified her that Resident #1 had attacked someone. The RP stated she told the facility staff that did not
sound like Resident #1 and had they been messing with her medications? The RP stated, This is not the
first time and we have discussed the same thing over and over, I said I am not POA and I can't make her
take mediation, but let me tell you, when you mess with her medicine, she gets aggressive and she needs
this medicine. The RP stated the facility had never informed her that Resident #1 had been refusing her
medications for five days. She was frustrated because she felt the facility called her and the other RP often
for minor issues, but they could not call and notify them she was refusing her medications. The family
member wanted to know why the facility did not intervene when Resident #1 started to refuse her
medications. The family member stated RN F was at the facility and told her he was in charge and they had
already called the police. The RP stated, Why? Because you know she didn't take her meds and why didn't
you send her to the hospital? She said RN F stated Resident #1 did not want to be transported in an
ambulance. The RP stated she felt something was not right about the situation so she decided to stay and
see what was going to happen because she felt the facility was trying to arrest Resident #1 and she was
scared that because of her ethnicity and having mental illness, if Resident #1 ended up in jail, it would not
fare well for her. When the police arrived, the RP told them Resident #1 needed to go to the hospital
because she had been there the week before. The RP stated when she saw Resident #1 that day, she was
crazy acting, saying she was someone else, saying she saw a man who was not there and people were
sitting on her and was delusional. The RP felt the facility had a plan to dump Resident #1 because they
were supposed to facilitate the transfer to the hospital, but they began talking privately and she overheard
them say one place was full and that they were going to take her to an inpatient behavioral health facility.
The RP went with the police and Resident #1 in the police car because she felt that something was not
right. When they got to the inpatient behavioral health facility, the police dropped her and Resident #1 off
and left. The intake coordinator refused to admit Resident #1 due to her having noted aggression and said
they would not be able to force her to take her medications because it was only a behavior clinic. The RP
then called the facility to notify them of the refused admission and was told by the front desk receptionist
that Resident #1 could not come back and was not allowed back. The RP then called the local police to
come and pick up Resident #1 and they called the facility who said she could not come back; the RP told
the facility they had to accept her back. The RP then left from the inpatient behavior health facility via
rideshare to go to work because she was late and assumed the police had transported Resident #1 back to
the facility.
An interview with the front desk receptionist on 09/14/23 at 12:15 PM revealed she worked over the
weekend, including on 09/09/23. She stated she saw Resident #2 being taken out by EMT to the hospital
and knew the police had been called and Resident #1 had been asked to leave the facility due to an
incident between her and Resident #2. The front desk receptionist

stated she saw Resident #1 escorted out of the facility by the police and got into their vehicle along with her
family member. She then stated after that, the family member called the facility and was stating the police
transported Resident #1 to an inpatient behavioral health facility and they would not admit her. The front
desk receptionist notified the ADM, and he said no, she [Resident #1] was not to be admitted back in. She
could not remember what reason the ADM gave her for refusing to let Resident #1 come back but she
thought it had to do with behavior issues. The front desk receptionist stated, I know the [family member]
said the reason she needed to come back was because [behavioral facility] would not allow her in and she
needed the incident report, I heard the police say it behind her. I said I did not have that .I called her back
and said she cannot come back in. She said she could not take her home. I said I am sorry but she cannot
come back here. Later in the day [time unknown], the front desk receptionist remembered seeing Resident
#1 standing across the street at the apartments walking back and forth and no one was with her. During
that same time, [Resident #2] was brought back to the facility by a female police officer while Resident #1
was still across the street. She said ADON A called the police because she knew Resident #1 was standing
across the street. The front desk receptionist stated the staff did not bring Resident #1 back into the facility
because from her understanding because she was no longer allowed in and that was what ADON A
understood to be true as well. Once Resident #1 was back in the building, the female police officer went
over to deal with Resident #1 but she did not see what happened. She stated, I looked back up later and
they were gone.
An interview with the ADM on 09/12/23 at 10:00 AM revealed Resident #1 had an incident a week prior
where she was allegedly being rude to LVN I and another resident (Resident #3) told her not to be rude;
Resident #1 then walked over and slapped him. ADM stated LVN I witnessed it. The ADM stated there were
no injuries and his [Resident #3] was more of a bruised [NAME]. The ADM stated the police were called
and Resident #1 was arrested, Problem is, when she got arrested, [Resident #3] wanted to press charges
but they took [Resident #1] to [hospital] who notified the facility the next day they were sending her back.
The ADM stated, I put up a fight and said less than 24 hours, you are sending her back? The ADM stated
due to his refusal to accept her back into the facility, the hospital notified his boss at the corporate level and
the ADM was then told that he had to accept Resident #1 back into the facility because she did not have
any behaviors while she was at the hospital. The ADM stated Resident #1 did not have any behaviors when
she came back from 09/06/23 through 09/09/23. The ADM stated on 09/09/23, another incident took place
and according to Resident #2 (new roommate of Resident #1), she said Resident #1 punched her on her
head, chest and back totally unprovoked. The ADM stated the information came from Resident #2's report
to RN F, Which I am not sure how much I want to take at face value because of her dementia. The ADM
stated he told RN F what to do because Resident #2 wanted to go to the hospital and came back the same
day with no injuries. The police were notified for the alleged resident to resident altercation between
Resident #1 and Resident #2 and they escorted Resident #1 from the facility. They took her to a behavioral
health facility along with her family member but that facility declined to do an admission, so the facility told
the family member she would need to be taken to the hospital because she was technically discharged
from our facility .Now care was left onto police to direct what happened. The ADM stated the police left the
family member and Resident #1 at the behavioral health facility and he was under the impression the family
member transported her back to the facility because Resident #1 was seen by a staff member [name
unknown] being dropped off across the street to the facility where there was an apartment complex [by
unknown person]. The ADM stated the facility staff called the police on Resident #1 again and they sent a
unit out, but before they arrived, he tried to talk to Resident #1 and she told

him she did not want to talk to him in a thousand years. The ADM stated when the fire department arrived
first, Resident #1 refused to talk to them so they left and stated the police were on their way. The ADM
stated he had to leave the facility and go back home. He stated ADON A called him and said the police
showed up and Resident #1 started walking away, so they gave ADON A police report number and followed
Resident #1. The ADM stated Resident #1 was discharged from the facility and they had tried to prevent the
discharge by getting her seen for psyche services, not to discharge. He stated Resident #1 had never been
sent out before the two incidents and there were no prior resident to resident altercations since her
admission in 2021. He stated when she did have a behavioral episode in the facility, she would hit her head
and make a grunting noise. The ADM stated the facility had not been able to find a good roommate fit for
Resident #1 except for one female resident who she roomed with for a couple of days in the past two weeks
before that roommate went out to the hospital. The ADM stated there was no witness for the resident to
resident altercation between Resident #1 and #2 and both of them had a diagnosis of dementia.
An interview with LVN I on 09/13/23 at 10:15 AM revealed she did not witness Resident #1 slap Resident
#3, she only heard them yelling at each other. She was shocked to see them verbally fighting with each
other and reported none of the staff seemed to be doing anything. LVN I stated Resident #3 was alert and
oriented x 4 and he was saying all of the mean things. LVN I asked Resident #3 to stop and remember
Resident #1 was still a lady and he said she slapped him. LVN I did not see her slap him and he was still
yelling at Resident #1, cursing and saying 'hit me again knowing she was not in her right mind. LVN I stated
Resident #3 had been upset prior to this incident when Resident #1 was moved down to his hall from
upstairs and he had a vendetta with wanting her to move off his hall because she was not here all the way
and made weird noises. LVN I stated Resident #3 did not like that the facility was moving people with
mental illness issues onto his hall. LVN I stated Resident #1 was still wanting to try and hit Resident #3 but
she and the other staff who arrived, including ADON A, separated them. LVN I stated she begged Resident
#3 to stop egging Resident #1 on. She stated, He is known to instigate and pick at people. LVN O stated
she called the police and told them there was an altercation between two residents. Resident #1 was sent
out to Hospital PP after her shift was over and came back two days later and moved to the upstairs hall.
Record review of Resident #1's discharge documentation from Hospital PP on 09/06/23 reflected she was
seen due to aggressive behavior and had a mental health problem listed as the diagnosis. No other
information was provided and no medication was changed or new treatments/recommendations ordered.
Review of Resident #1's clinical record reflected no evidence the MHNP or MD were contacted when
Resident #1 returned from [Hospital PP] on 09/06/23 to discuss possible behavioral interventions to prevent
future aggressive episodes.
An interview with RN F on 09/12/23 at 3:54 PM revealed he was the weekend supervisor on 09/09/23 from
7:00 AM until 11:00 PM and he was aware Resident #1 had been sent to the hospital the week prior due to
an altercation where he thought she hit someone. RN F stated Resident #1 had been back at the facility for
two days prior to the weekend on 09/09/23. When RN F got to work on Saturday 09/09/23, he was called to
her room and told she had gone to the roommate's bed [Resident #2] and hit her on the back, chest and
head and was following her down the hall. When RN F arrived, he went into their room and tried to evaluate
Resident #1, who was laying in bed. He asked Resident #1 what happened and she was agitated and said,
That white woman is not my momma and I need her out of this room-she is not my roommate! RN F stated
it was hard to re-orient Resident #1 in that state and she had dementia and psyche issues. He stated
psyche issues for Resident #1 meant she always paced the hallways, was very untidy, her hair was not
made, her clothes were not tidy, she talked to herself and made

weird noises, declined care and scared other residents away. RN F stated after the incident, he called the
police because Resident #2 wanted to file an allegation, I don't know what for, I don't know what she told
the police. He stated Resident #1's family member happened to be at the facility but not present for the
altercation and he explained the police had been contacted. RN F stated Resident #2 did not have any
injuries but was tearful. RN F stated CNA N was the person who told him about the incident. He said he did
not get into the details of what CNA N observed, but he did complete an incident report. RN F stated he
knew Resident #1 was taken to a hospital in [adjacent city] somewhere and said the police or the family
decided on where because he heard them talking. RN F stated he could not tell the police where to take
Resident #1, but they did not end up going to [Hospital PP]. RN F stated the facility usually sent the
residents to [Hospital PP] for psyche evaluations. RN F stated he did not know how Resident #1 ended up
at the inpatient behavioral health facility. RN F stated he had called the doctor to get an order to transfer
Resident #1 to the hospital, but the doctor could not give a specific order on where to take the resident. RN
F stated, The [family member] and police decided to take her wherever they took her. RN F then clarified he
spoke to NP D to notify about the transfer, not the MD. He said NP D told him to send Resident #1 out for a
psyche evaluation. After that, RN F stated Resident #1 left the building and never came back that day or the
following day. To his understanding, he stated Resident #1 went to the [Hospital PP] but he had no idea
where the police took her and he did not follow up to find out. RN F stated the facility social worker normally
followed up to see where a resident was placed and which hospital they were sent to, but there was no
social worker over the weekend.
A follow up interview with RN F on 09/16/23 at 5:08 PM revealed both Residents #1 and #2 had a diagnosis
of dementia. RN F. stated Resident #2 was mellow, quiet and kept to herself. He stated Resident #1 could
be loud and pace around and make scary sounds. RN F stated he was never notified on 09/09/23 that
Resident #1 showed back up at the facility across the street by herself. He stated if he would have been
told, he would have tried to bring her back into the facility. RN F stated, I don't want to abandon her,
someone has to be responsible. No one asked me to help bring her back in. RN F stated he would have
tried to talk to Resident #1 because she is still my patient and I have a responsibility to try and talk with her
and see what happened.
An interview with LVN O on 09/18/23 at 10:48 AM revealed she was the charge nurse on 09/09/23 when
Resident #1 and Resident #2 had an alleged physical altercation but she did not see it. She stated no one
saw it, but CNA N heard the commotion and what sounded like a hit/slap and some arguing and reported it
to LVN O. LVN O went to their room to find Resident #1 in bed and Resident #2 was in the doorway. She
and CNA N separated them and then she notified RN F who was the weekend supervisor and stated he
would take care of it and write an incident report and next thing I know, the police show up. LVN O did not
know where they sent Resident #1 and did not know she wound up back at the facility across the street by
herself. LVN O stated no one came to get her to try and assist Resident #1 to come back in the facility. She
stated, I could have taken another staff out with me and tried to get [Resident #1] to come in. But no one
asked.
An interview with ADON A on 09/12/23 at 4:29 PM revealed she was newly employed for about a month
and had tried to intervene after an incident where Resident #1 slapped Resident #3 a week prior on
09/05/23. ADON A stated when trying to intervene, Resident #1 was gunning for me, she does this reaction
like '[NAME]' (ADON A made hand motions by her ears to demonstrate), cursing, saying random things like

Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in
accordance with accepted professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that in accordance with accepted professional
standard and practices, medical records were accurately documented for one (Resident #5) of five
residents reviewed for clinical records accuracy.
The facility failed to document wound care orders on Resident #5's TAR.
The facility failure could place residents at risk of inaccurate clinical records.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #5's Face Sheet (undated) reflected she was a [AGE] year old woman admitted
to the facility on [DATE]. Her active diagnoses included parastomal hernia with obstruction (a condition
wherein abdominal contents, typically the bowel or greater omentum (a fold of peritoneum connecting the
stomach with other abdominal organs), protrude through abdominal integuments surrounded by the hernia
sac at the location of formed stoma).
Record review of Resident #5's annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] reflected she rarely understood
others and her BIMS score was a 03, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Resident #5 had no
behaviors, rejection of care or psychosis. Resident #5 required extensive assistance of one to two staff for
her ADLs and used a wheelchair for ambulation. Resident #5 was always incontinent of bladder and bowel.
Resident #5 was at risk for developing pressure ulcers/injuries but did not have a pressure ulcer/injury
during the assessment period. Resident #5 did not have any other ulcers, wounds or skin problems or
treatments.
Record Review on 09/12/23 of Resident #5's care plan initiated 08/12/23 and last revised on 08/30/23
revealed no discussion of her wound and intervention(s) to be used.
Review of Resident #5's Weekly Wound Progress Note dated 09/05/23 reflected she had one wound
identified on 08/29/23 on the right side of her stoma with moderate red and thin exudate, no odor, with
tissue granulation, surrounding skin was normal with clean and intact wound margins. The wound
dimensions were 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 0.7cm and the wound had shown improvement. Physician's wound
orders were to clean with normal saline, pat dry and apply calcium alginate every day and as needed.
Review of Resident #5's Weekly Wound Progress Note dated 09/19/23 reflected she had an additional
wound on her abdomen with moderate, thick exudate, with an odor present and granulation tissue. The
dimensions of the wound were 1cm x 2cm x 0.5cm and the wound had shown improvement. The
physician's wound orders from 08/29/23 were to clean with normal saline, pat dry and apply calcium
alginate every day and as needed.
Review of Resident #5's September 2023 TAR reflected no entry for wound care related to calcium alginate.
There was only an order for ostomy care daily and every shift PRN.
An interview with wound care LVN EE on 09/21/23 at 1:25 PM revealed wound care was typically done on
her shift form 7AM-3PM when the charge nurse [LVN DD] did ostomy care. Wound Care LVN EE stated the
wound was right next to Resident #5's stoma and since the resident got her ostomy bag changed

daily, we do it at the same time. Wound Care LVN EE stated for wound care, while LVN DD emptied the
ostomy bad and cleaned around the stoma, LVN EE cut a piece of calcium alginate, placed it on the wound
and then they put the ostomy bag back in place. Wound Care LVN EE stated, To be honest, it is on the TAR
consolidated as ostomy care, but we are going to split it [order] into two. She said the wound care was a
separate order and not listed on the TAR, but she knew to do it once a day. She stated the wound doctor
ordered the wound care treatment to be done daily with the ostomy care. Wound Care LVN EE stated it was
important to ensure the physician's orders corresponded with the TAR because one was an order for
ostomy care and one was an order for wound care. She stated if the orders were not separated and only
ostomy care was on the TAR, then another nurse may not know Resident #5 needed daily wound care and
the wound could get worse. LVN EE stated when the wound was first identified, the NP D was notified and
gave an order to do Meta-Honey. She did not come out to see the wound but saw a photo. Then the wound
started to look infected so that was when Wound Care LVN EE got the wound care doctor on board. The
wound care doctor initially saw Resident #5 on 08/29/23 and that was when she discontinued the order for
Meta-Honey and started Calcium Alginate which helped drain the infection from the wound.
An interview with the DON on 09/21/23 at 1:46 PM revealed she did not know why the order for Resident
#5's calcium alginate was not on the TAR but she was having the wound care nurse correct it and enter it
on the TAR. The DON stated if other nurses were to provide any wound care to Resident #5, there would
not be an order or a place on the TAR to show it was needed. She said thankfully, Resident #5's wound had
not worsened.
An interview with LVN DD on 09/21/23 at 3:00 PM revealed the wound care nurse was responsible for
entering treatment orders from the wound care doctor into the online e-charting system. LVN DD stated she
only did ostomy care where she changed the dressing once during her shift. She stated Wound Care LVN
DD took care of Resident #5's wound at the same time.
An interview with C-RN on 09/21/23 at 3:06 PM revealed she had just talked to the wound care nurse after
investigator intervention about making sure to separate physician orders and they could not be combined
with ostomy care. C-RN stated the Wound Care LVN EE told her the wound care doctor told her she could
do it at the same time as the ostomy care was done. C-RN told her that was fine, but there had to be a
separate order for it. C-RN stated the facility had a second wound care nurse who worked on the
weekends. The C-RN felt that the weekend wound care nurse and weekday wound care nurse [LVN EE] did
all the wound care treatments. C-RN stated if something happened and the two wound care nurses were
not available to do the wound care, then no one would know what needed to be done since there was no
orders or entry on Resident #5's TAR to show it needed to be completed. C-RN stated, We screwed up and
that is a tag I will not argue with.
Review of the facility policy titled, Wound Management, revised 06/2020, reflected, A resident who has a
wound will receive necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infection and prevent new

Provide behavior health training consistent with the requirements and as determined by a facility
assessment.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to provide mandatory effective behavioral health
training for six (ADON B, RN F, CNA Q, CNA R, LVN I, CNA U) of six facility staff hired since October 2022
for required training.
The facility failed to ensure newly hired staff in the past year (since October 2022)- ADON B, RN F, CNA Q,
CNA R, LVN I and CNA U completed behavioral health training upon hire as was listed as a training
requirement in the facility's annual assessment.
The facility failure could place residents at risk of not attaining or maintaining their highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being due to lack of staff training and knowledge in working with
residents who have mental health issues.
Findings included:
Record review of the facility assessment provided by the ADM on 09/13/23 reflected it was updated and
reviewed by the QAPI committee on 09/12/22 and reflected the facility would complete training upon hire,
annually and PRN for Caring for Residents with Mental and Psychosocial Disorders. The facility
assessment reflected they had 105 residents who required assistance with mental health/behavioral health
needs.
Record review of the facility's Staff Roster dated 09/12/2023 revealed the following hire dates for the staff:
ADON B (hired 01/02/23), RN F (hired 07/10/23), CNA Q (hired 07/21/23), CNA R (hired 04/19/23), LVN I
(hired 08/22/23) and CNA U (hired 03/17/23).
Record review of the annual staff trainings from their respective hire dates through 09/18/23 reflected no
evidence ADON B, RN F, CNA Q, CNA R, LVN I, CNA U completed mandatory Behavioral Health training.
An interview with the DON on 09/13/23 at 12:38 PM revealed the facility completed monthly in-services that
she and the ADM conducted. The DON stated the facility did not have an online educational system for the
staff, it was the ADM and DON who used online information and presented it to the staff in person through
in-services. The DON stated the in-service calendar of what staff needed to be trained on came from the
Human Resources Department at the corporate level and different training topics were completed once a
month as decided on by corporate.
A follow up interview with the DON on 09/15/23 at 11:16 AM revealed she had been employed at the facility
since the end of April 2023 and there was nothing she knew of that had been rolled out related mandatory
behavioral health training since October 2022. The DON stated there was a behavior program training listed
in their policies and procedures that was available for the staff to be trained on. When asked who would
provide that training, the DON responded, Training would be done by me probably. The DON stated it was
important for staff to be trained on residents with mental health/mental illness and related behaviors to
know how to identify them and handle them. The DON stated in the community, people may not know how
to respond to an individual with mental health issues and may think they are off their rockers and see them
as a fight or flight response. The DON stated training for behavioral health helped staff know how to stay
calm and respond to that person because sometimes it was the response of the staff that could escalate or
de-escalate a situation. The DON stated the

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
staff needed to be trained to know what to do if a behavior occurred, what medications were readily
available to assist them and determining is a psyche referral would be warranted.
An interview with the ADM on 09/13/23 at 3:36 PM revealed the facility did not complete behavioral health
training for the staff as its own topic and it was tied into the Abuse/Neglect training and Resident to
Resident Altercations trainings. He stated he in-serviced staff on the facility policies when he did
Abuse/Neglect and Resident to Resident altercations.
Record review of staff annual and PRN in-services and trainings from January 2023 through 09/13/23
reflected no staff training on behavioral health.
A confidential interview on 09/14/23 revealed the facility completed in-services with the staff on the 25th of
every month when they got paid, but there had never been in an in-service or staff training related to mental
health, mental illness and behavioral health training related to their population. The individual stated no
handouts were ever provided during those monthly trainings and there was no presentation of specific
material. The individual stated it was basically the ADM talking about what to do and not do, then staff had
to sign the signature sheet. The individual stated as far as a behavioral health training for residents with
mental health issues, the facility staff needed training on it. The individual stated one of the ADONs had
recently told the staff they were going to get the staff that training because the whole building was residents
with behaviors. The individual stated, You got a big turnover with staff when they are not trained, there is a
huge turnover. Also, the staff don't know to talk or communicate with that population and you need to know
how to deal with them when a crisis occurs or else it would turn upside down. The individual stated he/she
would like some training where staff sit around the table and talk about scenarios, like in nursing school.
An interview with CNA R on 09/14/23 at 4:00 PM revealed she had worked at the facility for eight months
and she had previous experience working with a patient with dementia, so when she interviewed, she
stated that was the first thing the facility asked her. CNA R stated because of that, they didn't do much
training because I had the training.
An interview with CNA Q on 09/14/23 at 4:03 PM revealed she been employed at the facility for two months
and she had very little training, but the facility had stated that if two residents started fighting, to pull the
less aggressive person away from the aggressor. CNA Q stated when she started working at the facility, all
her training experience came from prior jobs she had.
A confidential interview on 09/17/23 revealed many of the nursing staff at the facility were misinformed on
protocols relating to how to handle residents with behaviors and not using nursing judgment. The individual
stated, This facility calls the police all the time, for everything, I have never been at a facility that uses the
police so much. The staff here are not equipped to work with the population this facility takes in, I don't
know why they take some of these residents, they were not equipped to deal with them. The individual
stated he/she had seen some of the staff scared to interact or deal with residents who had mental
health/mental illness issues and behaviors. The individual stated, I am afraid some of the staff will get hurt
because they don't know what to do or intervene correctly. The individual stated the facility management
was aware of the lack of training but nothing had been done about it. The individual stated, I don't think the
staff here have been trained enough at all, they don't know what they are doing.
The ADM was asked to provide a policy for required annual behavior health training on 09/13/23 at 3:36
PM. He stated he did not have one specific to that topic.
