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, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to
protect the resident's rights to be free from the verbal abuse by CNA 1 for one of two sampled residents
(Resident 1) when CNA 1 yelled at Resident 1. Additionally, the facility staff failed to report the incident and
intervene in the timely manner as per the facility's P&P. These failures had the potential to cause
psychosocial harm to the residents.
Findings:
Review of the Facility's P&P titled Abuse, Neglect, Misappropriation and Exploitation dated 10/2022 showed
the staff report any alleged violations involving verbal, sexual, physical, and mental abuse, corporal
punishment, involuntary seclusion, and neglect of the resident as well as mistreatment, injuries of unknown
source, and misappropriation immediately to the Senior Clinician, or Operational Leader, or District, or
National Level and to other officials. Each resident is treated with dignity and respect and focuses on
assisting the residents in maintaining, enhancing his or her self-esteem and self-worth and incorporates the
residents' individuality as well as honor and value their input.
Review of the facility's Investigation Report dated 10/7/24, showed the investigation of the incident between
Resident 1 and CNA 1. The facility substantiated the allegation of verbal/emotional abuse. The report
further showed a few staff members were able to confirm both the resident and accused CNA had a verbal
exchange. Per the report, the CNA appeared to be frustrated due to the resident repeatedly pressing the
call light after the CNA had explained to the resident that the social worker had been notified of Resident
1's request to speak with her and would come once she had a moment. CNA 1 was heard speaking to the
resident in the elevated tone, this is why nobody visits you, this why your son doesn't like you, and this is
why nobody likes you or visits you. The resident responded back, I hope you end up in a hospital with
broken legs. The CNA responded with, I will pray for you and walked out of the door. Resident 1 slammed
the door shut, and CNA 1 was heard repeating the same comments regarding Resident 1 in the hallway.
Closed medical record review of Resident 1 was initiated on 10/14/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], and discharged on 10/4/24.
On 10/14/24 at 1630 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 was asked about the
incident with Resident 1. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 had been calling multiple times, asking for the social
worker and inquiring about her discharge. CNA 1 stated she had informed the social worker and Resident 1
had to wait for the social worker. However, Resident 1 still pressed the call light. CNA

with the residents.

documentation of the incident and care plan to address the verbal altercation between Resident 1 and CNA
