Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement written policy and
procedures to prevent abuse, neglect and exploitation of residents and misappropriation of resident
property when:
Residents Affected - Few
1. Resident 31's statement that a nurse was Tearing [Resident 31] to pieces was not investigated and not
reported. This failure had the potential to result in abuse by the same staff who continued to provide care to
Resident 31.
2. Facility did not perform background checks for five of five employees. This failure had the potential for
allowing potential employees who have been convicted of abuse, neglect and exploitation and
misappropriation of resident property to care for the residents.
Findings:
1. During review of the Resident Council Suggestion/Issue/Question/Concern dated 4/13/23 with Activity
Director (AD), on 4/18/23 at 11:10 a.m., the record indicated Resident 31 claimed on 4/13/23 that a nurse
was tearing me to pieces during a bath and while being changed. AD stated the information was passed on
(shared) with the Nursing Department but could not identify which staff member received the information.
AD stated there was no response from the Nursing Department as of yet because it would usually take up
to a week to hear back. AD also stated, at the time, AD did not think of the concern as an abuse allegation
that should be reported to the Administrator (ADM) who was the facility's abuse coordinator. AD stated she
should have reported it right away.
During a follow-up interview with AD on 4/19/23 at 10:13 a.m., AD stated, she shared Resident 31's
concern on 4/18/23 with ADM, who responded by having Social Service Designee (SSD) conduct an
interview with Resident 31.
During an interview with SSD on 4/19/23 at 11:10 a.m., SSD stated having received a copy of Resident
31's concern on 4/18/23. SSD stated he went to talk to Resident 31 to ask about preferences with how staff
should provide care. SSD stated he did not ask Resident 31 about the incident and staff who was tearing
her to pieces which he stated he should have. SSD also stated, such statements coming from any resident
should have been investigated with the thought that it could very well be an abuse incident.
Review of Resident 31's admission Record indicated Resident 31 was admitted to the facility with
diagnoses that included age-related osteoporosis (bones become brittle and fragile that they are more likely
to break (fracture) and pain in right ankle and joints of the right foot.

Review of Resident 31's Minimum Data Set (MDS, an assessment tool used to direct resident care) dated
1/9/23 indicated Resident 31 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS, an assessment tool for
resident's orientation to time and capacity to remember) score of 12. BIMS score range is from 0-15, with
zero as the most impaired.
During an interview with Resident 31 on 4/19/23 at 11:39 a.m., Resident 31 stated not being able to
accurately recall details about the incident of a staff tearing me to pieces because of a failing memory.
Resident 31 stated, it would have been better if questions were asked the same day Resident 31 made the
statement. Resident 31 also stated no one from the facility had asked questions about Resident 31's
statement.
During an interview with ADM on 4/20/23 at 12:49 p.m., ADM stated, statements from residents such as,
nurse is tearing me to pieces should be investigated right away to make sure this was not an abuse case.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Abuse Prevention and Reporting last revised April 2021
indicated When a resident or someone in behalf of a resident reports a grievance or makes a complaint
.thorough investigations are commenced immediately upon presentation of complaint/grievance/event.
2. During an interview and concurrent review of the employee files with the Director of Nursing (DON) on
4/20/23 at 11:05 a.m., files for the following staff were reviewed;
a. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 2.
b. Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA).
c. Activity Assistant (AA).
d. Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1.
e. Activities Director (AD).
DON stated, background checks with the Department of Justice (DOJ) were not done for all five employees.
DON also stated, for licensed nurses like LVNs and Registered Nurses and CNAs,the facility relied on the
background checks being done by respective licensing and certification agencies for both professions. DON
stated, for CNA 2, hired on 3/30/22, the facility did not have a copy of their certification on file. There was no
documentation that background checks with the DOJ or State Registry were performed for all five
employees reviewed.
During an interview with ADM on 4/20/23 at 12:49 p.m., ADM stated the facility has not done background
checks for all employees, and, for licensed staff, the facility relied on the background checks performed by
the respective licensing board or certification agencies. For the unlicensed staff (i.e., activities, kitchen,
housekeeping), the facility did reference checks because most were known to be long-time employees of
the facility. ADM also stated the facility utilizes information based on Megan's law (penal code that
mandates the state DOJ to notify the public about sex offender registrants who pose a risk to public safety).
ADM, however, stated that doing reference checks did not give information if the prospective employees
were convicted of crimes other than sexual in nature.

authorities.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement their Abuse policy and procedure to
investigate and report injuries of unknown origin for one (Resident 4) sampled resident. Resident 4's
laceration to the left pinky toe was not investigated for the source of the injury and reported to the required
agencies.
This failure resulted in Resident 4 being transferred to the emergency room (ER) for sutures and had the
potential to place residents at risk for mistreatment, neglect and /or abuse.
Findings:
Review of Resident 4's Significant change in status-Minimum Data Set, Resident Assessment and Care
Screening, dated 1/4/23, indicated Resident 4 had unclear speech with slurred or mumbled word,
rarely/never understood. Resident 4 had short and long term memory problem. Resident 4 had no
behavioral symptoms. Resident 4's diagnoses included Non-Alzheimer's Dementia (a group of diseases
characterized by progressive deficits in behavior, executive function or language).
Review of the nurses notes dated 2/12/23 indicated Resident 4 laid on his floor mattress, and noted
bleeding bright red with deep cut below his left pinky toe. The physician advised staff to send Resident 4 to
the ER.
During a review of Resident 4's nurses notes and concurrent interview on 4/20/23 at 12:42 p.m., the
Director of Nursing (DON) stated Resident 4's laceration to the left pinky toe was an injury of unknown
origin. DON stated the facility did not know the cause of the injury. DON further stated it was assumed
Resident 4 bumped his leg on the wall or chair. DON said the facility did not investigate Resident 4's left
pinky toe laceration or report to the Department.
Review of the nurse's note dated 2/13/23, indicated Resident 4 returned from the ER with stitches to the left
pinky toe laceration.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Investigating Resident Injuries, revised April 2021,
indicated if the nursing and medical assessment determines an injury of unknown source, the investigation
will follow the protocols set forth in our facility's established abuse investigation guidelines.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure, Abuse, revised and approved November 2022, indicated
investigations of suspected abuse or suspicious circumstances or injuries/accidents of known or unknown
origin require reporting. The Administrator reports, as indicated, to the appropriate agency: i. California
