F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was free from physical abuse (the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish) in accordance the facility's policy and procedure titled Procedure for Prevention of Resident abuse and mistreatment by failing to ensure: 1. Resident 2 with diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder (mental health condition characterized by hallucinations [false perceptions of sensory experiences] or delusions [a false belief or judgment about external reality]), manifested by believing other people are against him and causing outburst of anger was monitored and supervised to prevent Resident 2 from entering Resident 1's room who was watching TV and pounded on Resident 1's head without a staff to stop Resident 2 from entering Resident 1's room. 2. Resident 2's clinical history from the GACH (General Acute Care Hospital) records were reviewed prior to admission and when the resident was admitted to the facility to ensure Resident 2 was supervised and monitored for aggressive behavior towards others. 3. A base line care plan was developed to indicate interventions of how to manage Resident 2's behavior believing other people are against him and causing angry outburst. This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 experienced physical abuse and verbalized feeling traumatized because of the incident that resulted in a transfer to the ER (Emergency Room) for headache, chest pain and a laceration (deep skin cut) to the left forehead which required sutures and stayed in the GACH for higher level of care for four days from 10/31/23 to 11/3/23. Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses that included dementia (a brain disorder that causes gradual decline in memory and thought process). A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized assessment and care planning screening tool), dated 11/7/23, indicated Resident 1 had the ability to understand others and express own ideas and wants, that required partial assistance (helper does less than half the effort) to walk ten feet distance, transfer to and from a bed to a chair, and changing position from sitting to standing. (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.
