Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure, for two of four residents (Residents A and B), were
free from abuse when:
1. For Resident A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 refuses to take care of the resident and stated I am
not your slave, and
2. For Resident B, CNA 1 provided care to the resident in a rough manner.
These failures had the potential for Residents A and B to experience physical and emotional distress from
the abuse from CNA 1.
Findings:
On June 11, 2025, at 9:50 a.m., an unannounced visit was made to the facility, for the investigation of an
allegation of abuse.
On June 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Administrator (Admin). The Admin
stated on the morning of May 26, 2025, he had received a call from Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1,
regarding CNA 1 was being rough with Resident B, and an allegation of abuse was reported. The Admin
stated CNA 1 was interviewed and said there was a change in assignments when he first came in, and
when he went to change Resident B, the resident was being combative and was difficult to change.
On June 11, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., during an interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the
ADON stated CNA 1 reported to Resident B's room and saw the resident's leg extended off the bed and
was repositioned. The ADON stated CNA noted Resident B was soiled and the resident began to yell. The
ADON stated LVNs 1 and 2 came into the room and CNA 1 told the LVNs that the resident was soiled and
needed to be changed. The ADON stated LVN 1 explained to CNA 1 that Resident B was stiff and should
be changed in a gentle manner, and CNA 1 responded to them the resident was being combative, soiled
and needed to be changed. The ADON stated LVN 1 reported that when both LVNs went to the resident's
room after they heard screaming, they saw CNA 1 was providing care to Resident B in an aggressive
manner by moving the resident side to side and removing sheet from under the resident while the resident
was yelling he hurt me, he hurt me.
On June 11, 2925, at 11:45 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Social Service Director (SSD). The
SSD stated conducted interviews of other residents regarding the care being provided by CNA 1.
