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 two of three sampled residents (Resident 1 and
Resident 6), were protected from incidents of abuse (willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement,
intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain or mental anguish, deprivation by an
individual, of goods or services that are necessary to attain or maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial
well-being, including various forms such as physical [any intentional act of force that causes harm, injury, or
trauma to another person's body] and sexual [any sexual activity or contact imposed on a person without
their consent, often involving force, coercion, or exploitation of vulnerability] abuse), by failing to: 1). Ensure
a care plan was developed for Resident 2 who had a history of inappropriate (improper) exposure of his
private parts (sexual organ) and harassing female staff and residents when admitted to the facility on
[DATE].2). Implement its policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Comprehensive Person-Centered Care
Planning, which indicated the facility should review and revise the comprehensive person-centered care
plan when there is onset of new problems, change of condition, addressing changes in behavior and care,
as appropriate or necessary. 3). Implement its P&P titled, Abuse Prevention and Management, which
indicated the facility does not condone (allow) any form of resident abuse. These failures resulted in
Resident 2 sexually abusing Resident 1 and Resident 6 and physically abusing Resident 6 on
12/19/2025.These failures had the potential to cause psychological harm (refers to the emotional or mental
injury that an individual may experience due to various actions, experiences, leading to negative effects on
their mental well-being) to Residents 1 and 6, because of Resident 2's sexually abusive behaviors.These
failures had the potential to cause severe physical injuries to Resident 6 after being physically attacked by
Resident 2 on 12/19/2025, that could result in hospitalization or death.Findings:1). During a review of
Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses included muscle weakness and
dementia (decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life, affecting memory, thinking,
problem-solving, language, and judgment, often with personality changes). During a review of Resident 1's
Care Plan titled Cognitively impaired with increasing confusion, restlessness., dated 9/25/2025, one of the
interventions indicated visual monitoring for safety. During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical
(H&P) dated 9/26/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to consent (unspecified)
due to dementia. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool)
dated 12/18/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 was usually able to understand and be understood by
others. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort.
Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) for eating, and required
maximal assistance (Helper does more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunks or limbs and provides
more than half the effort)

Resident 3 right now because she is just following the facility's rules. CNA 2 stated Resident 3 would be
okay waiting in urine for hours until there was someone available to assist Resident 3. CNA 1 and CNA 3
were observed and heard raising their voices (speaking out) stating that all the residents had to wait while
trays were being passed because those were the rules of the facility and they could not clean residents
during tray pass. During an interview on 1/6/2026 at 12:24 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the
DON stated residents should not be left in urine for a long period of time even if it was during mealtimes.

could also make residents feel neglected or ignored. During an observation on 1/6/2026 at 12:42 p.m. with
the Infections Prevention Nurse (IP), CNA 2 and Resident 3, observed IP being informed by CNA 2 that she
(CNA 2) had not cleaned Resident 3 all morning because Resident 3 had refused care. Resident 3 stated

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement its infection prevention and control
measures for one of three sampled residents (Resident 3) by failing to ensure: Certified Nurse Assistant
(CNA) 2 replaced/doffed (remove) gloves, and performed hand performed hand hygiene (washing hands or
using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer) during incontinence (lack of voluntary control over urination and/or
defecation) care for Resident 3. This deficient practice had the potential to result in cross contamination
(transfer of harmful bacteria or viruses from one place, object or person to another) and increased the risk
of transmitting disease-causing organisms leading to illness for residents. Findings:During a review of
Resident 3's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 3 was originally admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. The admission Record indicated Resident 3's diagnoses
included muscle weakness and hypertension (high blood pressure).During a review of Resident 3's History
and Physical (H&P) dated 10/21/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 3 had fluctuating capacity to understand
and make decisions.During a review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a resident assessment tool)
dated 12/23/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 3 usually was able to understand and be understood by
others. The MDS indicated Resident 3 required substantial/maximal assistance (Helper does more than half
the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) for bed
mobility (rolling left and right in bed, sitting to lying on the side of bed to lying flat on the bed) and was
dependent (helper does all the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity, or the
assistance of two or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) for toileting hygiene,
lower body dressing and transfers (the ability to transfer to and from a bed to a chair). During a concurrent
observation and interview on 1/6/2026 at 12:30 p.m., in Resident 3's room, CNA 2 was observed
performing incontinence care for Resident 3. CNA 2 was observed wearing gloves, opened Resident 2's
soiled incontinence brief, cleaned the resident's pubic area, proceeded to touch the bed remote control to
move the resident's bed up, then turned/repositioned the resident to the left side to clean the resident's
buttocks and buttocks fold, remove the soiled incontinence brief and place a new clean incontinence brief
without replacing gloves and performing hand hygiene. CNA 3 left Resident 3's room without doffing or
replacing gloves nor performing hand hygiene to obtain a clean gown to put on the Resident. CNA 3 stated
she did not realize she had not changed her gloves while cleaning Resident 3 because she was trying to
finish (incontinence care) quickly. During an interview on 1/6/2026 at 12:42 p.m. with the Infections
Prevention Nurse (IP), the IP stated staff should change their gloves and wash or sanitized hands when
moving from dirty to clean areas. IP stated not changing gloves and not washing/sanitizing hands could
lead to spread of germs and placed residents at risk for infections. The IP stated soiled gloves could
transfer germs into clean areas and items such as blankets, bed rails and devices used to move the beds. It
was important for staff to perform hand hygiene between glove change and once staff were done with
tasks. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE- clothing and equipment such as gloves that is worn or used to provide protection against hazardous
substances and/or environments) dated 1/1/2012, the P&P indicated Facility staff wear gloves whenever
there is touching blood, body fluids, secretions and excretions. Gloves are used only once and are
discarded into the appropriate receptacle location in the room in which the procedure is being performed.
Hands are washed before and after removing gloves. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Hand
Hygiene, dated 9/1/2020, the P&P indicated the facility's policy considered hand hygiene as the primary
means to prevent the spread of infections. The P&P indicated
