The Significant other then threatened Resident #1 by pointing a gun at him. On 03/05/24 an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified. While the IJ template was removed on 03/07/24, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm and a scope of isolated due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of Removal. This failure placed residents at risk of physical harm, mental anguish or emotional distress, pain and/or death.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few wound care on him while CNA A assisted. He said CNA A's phone kept going off and Nurse B told her not to answer. He said when they were done with his wound care, CNA A finally answered her phone, and it was her significant other. He said he could hear CNA A's significant other yelling at her and saying bitch, why didn't you answer this motherfucking phone. It does not take two hours to do wound care. He said he told Nurse B maybe CNA A's significant other needed to get his RN license or CNA so he could see that it took that long to do wound care. He said CNA A's significant other told her to tell him to shut the fuck up and CNA A told him. He said CNA A put her significant other on speaker phone and Resident #1 said he told him nah, you shut the fuck up. He said CNA A's significant other and him continued to curse at one another. He said CNA A left his room and came back approximately two minutes later and told him he needed to apologize to her significant other who was on speaker phone. He said her significant other also told him that he needed to apologize to him. He said he told them he was not going to apologize, and CNA A left his room again. He said it felt like CNA A was gone for approximately four to five minutes after she left his room the second time. He said Resident #2 was in his room when CNA A and her significant other entered his room. He said CNA A's significant other told her to get her bitch ass out and she left the room. He said he told Resident #2 to leave the room and he left. He said CNA A's significant other pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. He said soon after, Nurse B entered his room and pushed the significant other out. He said Nurse B told CNA A and her significant other that CNA A should have never let him in the building. He said he told police he did not want to press charges but did press charges against CNA A's significant other. He said he was not traumatized from having a gun pointed at him but was worried about the other residents. He said he was alright and felt safe at the facility. In an interview on 03/04/24 at 12:55 p.m., the Administrator said she had been working at the facility since August 2022. She said she received a call from the DON on Sunday, 03/03/24, between 2:30 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. She said she was told CNA A was doing wound care with Nurse B on Resident #1. She said she was told that while they were doing wound care, CNA A's significant other called her to go to lunch/go outside but she was saying to him she could not because she was in the middle of helping Nurse B. She said she guessed the significant other said some curse words to CNA A to relay to Resident #1 and from her understanding CNA A relayed what her significant other said to Resident #1. She said she was told Resident #1 said some curse words for CNA A to tell her significant other in return and then it sounded like it escalated to where her significant other wanted to come to the building so he could tell Resident #1 in person what he wanted to tell him. She said to her knowledge CNA A's significant other told her to go to the door and open it. She said CNA A opened the facility's door for her significant other and they went to Resident #1's room. She said she believed there was a yelling match and staff (unknown) called 911. She said the police came to the facility and escorted CNA A and her significant other off the property. She said she told the ADON to start in-servicing on violence in the workplace, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, to conduct safe surveys to check on the residents, gather witness statements, and told the DON to refer the resident to psych services to make sure he was okay and did not suffer any trauma. She said CNA A was suspended until further investigation was completed. She said the police were called and was told they would be patrolling the area a little more frequently for the next two weeks. She said all the keycode pads were recoded. She said they were planning on starting HIPPA staff in-service training violation because CNA A should not have been saying what care she was providing to Resident #1 and/or if the Resident #1's name was mentioned. She said staff were told that there were to be no more cell phones when providing care because it could have prevented the incident from occurring. She said the incident may have happened around 12:30ish p.m. In an (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675052 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 15 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675052 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few interview on 03/04/24 at 1:47 p.m., the ADON said she had been working at the facility since 10/28/23. She said Nurse B called her on 03/03/24 and reported that CNA A and she were doing wound care on Resident #1. She said Nurse B told her CNA A was on the phone with her significant other who told CNA A that it was taking too long to do wound care. She said she was not sure if CNA A had her phone on speaker or at some point the significant other told CNA A to put the phone on speaker. She said Nurse B told her when CNA A had her phone on speaker, Resident #1 and the significant other started saying f-Us to each other and CNA A's significant other threatened to come to the facility with a handgun to handle Resident #1. She said she went to the facility and the cops were on the scene. She said she found out that CNA A entered the keycode in to the south hall's door, let her significant other inside the facility, and escorted him to Resident #1's room. She said she was present when Nurse B was talking to the cops and Nurse B told them the significant other had a handgun in his waistband. She said she walked away and went to speak with the resident. She said Resident #1 told her CNA A's significant other had a handgun, that it was visible, was in his hand, and went inside his room. She said she asked Resident #1 if the significant other pointed the handgun at him and he told her no. She said she asked him if he felt safe and he told her yes. She said Resident #1 told her he did not feel traumatized and did not need psych services. She said he told her the significant other said he would be back. In a telephone interview on 03/04/24 at 4:14 p.m., Nurse B said CNA A was helping her with Resident #1's wound care and had no clue that she was on the phone because she had her air pods/headphones in her ear. She said she was in the middle of taking off Resident #1's dressings and putting on new ones, and CNA was making and getting the bedding ready. She said CNA A said a few things (did not know what she said) and Resident #1 asked CNA A if she was talking to the air because they did not know she was on the phone. She said out of nowhere, CNA A blurted out it does take me two hours to do wound care. She said CNA A's significant other was upset because it was taking two hours. She said she asked CNA A what she was talking about, and CNA A told her she was talking to her significant other. She said she asked her what she meant, and she said CNA A told her that she answered her phone on her air pods/headphones. She said she asked CNA A to please not do that, especially at bedside. She said CNA A ignored her and continued talking on the phone. She said Resident #1 told CNA A to tell her significant other to go get his RN license and become a nurse and when he got his RN license and had to do wound care, he would see how extensive his wounds were and that it took two hours. She said after Resident #1 said that she carried on with what she was doing and thought CNA A got off the phone but then out of nowhere CNA A told Resident #1 that her significant other said, shut the fuck up. She said she was shocked that CNA A repeated those words, was still on her phone, and said that to the resident. She said she asked CNA A to exit the room, that it was very inappropriate, and why would she tell that to a resident. She said CNA A got an attitude and exited the room. She said CNA A went back to the hall and was walking around talking to her significant other. She said when she was done helping another resident, she went back down to Resident #1's room. She said Resident #1 told her CNA A had come in his room after she left, was on speaker phone with her significant other and cussed him out at bedside. She said that was when she found out CNA A was not down the hall. She said she was super busy because she was at the nurse's station charting, but from the corner of her eye she saw people walk past her but did not see who it was. She said she then heard really, really, really, loud screaming and was like what in the heck and triggered that oh my god it was probably CNA A's significant other going after Resident #1. She said she had a bad feeling about it because of the way they had talked and threatened each other over the phone. She said she jumped up, ran to the room, and heard the significant other tell Resident #1 I'm not a fucking (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675052 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 15 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675052 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few boy, I'm a fucking man, and I am about to show you. She said when she got to the resident's room, CNA A's significant other looked at CNA A and told her to step out the room and shut the door behind her. She said she told CNA A's significant other, oh no, we are not doing this. She said he was at Resident #1's bedside hoovering over him. She said CNA A's significant other was wearing baggy pants and a real big baggy jacket, so she did not see the pistol at first. She said he had one arm around his waist, and had his other arm bunched up like he was nudging at Resident #1 trying to intimidate him while he was also screaming at him. She said she told CNA A's significant other we are not doing this; you need to get out of the room right now. She said Resident #1 told her that it was okay and to let him stay but she said no we are not doing this. She said she told Resident #1 they were not going to have him in there threatening him and that it was not happening. She said she was literally screaming at the top of her lungs. She said Resident #1 looked at her again and said that it was okay and to let him stay and she said she told the resident no. She said at that point she was confused and did not understand why the resident was telling her to let him stay. She said she had no clue what was going on and all she knew was CNA A let her significant other in the building and he was screaming at Resident #1 and had a pistol. She said at the time when she got in front of CNA A's significant other, she did not see the pistol. She said when he turned around, she was in between him and Resident #1, and told him to exit the room. She said he was trying to push up against her, nudging her, like a chest pump. She said she would not move so he did not get to Resident #1, but he was trying to stay there. She said she told him no, forced him backwards out of the room, and when he turned around to get in the hallway that was when she saw the pistol. She said when she noticed the pistol, she was like oh my god, just play it off, pretend you did not see it and she continued to escort CNA A and her significant other out of the building. She said she told them there was the exit and kept being forceful with them and said, exit the building, both of y'all. She said when she finally got CNA A and her significant other out the door area, she told both of them, do not come back on the premises, do not come back in this door. She said he did not care when he got out to the door. She said he was flaunting the pistol everywhere. She said he had it in his hand and was nonchalantly talking. She said she shut the door quickly and someone called 911. She said the cops went to the facility and after, she went back in the facility and talked to Resident #1. She said Resident #1 told her he told her to let CNA A's significant other to stay in his room because she did not see the pistol, and he did not want her to get hurt. She said Resident #1 told her it was going to be what it was. She said Resident #1 did not want her or Resident #2 to get hurt or shot if something went down. She said at the time it was not that scary, but when she thought back about it, it was pretty scary. She said she was just in full force mode trying to fix the situation and make it stop and did not think about how serious it was. In an interview on 03/04/24 at 5:33 p.m., CNA B said she had been working at the facility for 14 years and worked the 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. shift.

He said when they were done with his wound care, CNA A finally answered her phone, and it was her significant other. He said he could hear CNA A's significant other yelling at her and saying bitch, why didn't you answer this motherfucking phone. It does not take two hours to do wound care. He said he told Nurse B maybe CNA A's significant other needed to get his RN license or CNA so he could see that it took that long to do wound care. He said CNA A's significant other told her to tell him to shut the fuck up and CNA A told him. He said CNA A put her significant other on speaker phone and Resident #1 said he told him nah, you shut the fuck up. He said CNA A's significant other and him continued to curse at one another.

He said her significant other also told him that he needed to apologize to him. He said he told them he was not going to apologize, and CNA A left his room again. He said it felt like CNA A was gone for approximately four to five minutes after she left his room the second time. He said Resident #2 was in his room when CNA A and her significant other entered his room. He said CNA A's significant other told her to get her bitch ass out and she left the room. He said he told Resident #2 to leave the room and he left. He said CNA A's significant other pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. He said soon after, Nurse B entered his room and pushed the significant other out. He said Nurse B told CNA A and her significant other that CNA A should have never let him in the building. He said he told police he did not want to press charges but did press charges against CNA A's significant other. He said he was not traumatized from having a gun pointed at him but was worried about the other residents. He said he was alright and felt safe at the facility. In an interview on 03/04/24 at 12:55 p.m., the Administrator said she had been working at the facility since August 2022. She said she received a call from the DON on Sunday, 03/03/24, between 2:30 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. She said she was told CNA A was doing wound care with Nurse B on Resident #1. She said she was told that while they were doing wound care, CNA A's significant other called her to go to lunch/go outside but she was saying to him she could not because she was in the middle of helping Nurse B. She said she guessed the significant other said some curse words to CNA A to relay to Resident #1 and from her understanding CNA A relayed what her significant other said to Resident #1. She said she was told Resident #1 said some curse words for CNA A to tell her significant other in return and then it sounded like it escalated to where her significant other wanted to come to the building so he could tell Resident #1 in person what he wanted to tell him. She said to her knowledge CNA A's significant other told her to go to the door and open it. She said CNA A opened the facility's door for her significant other and they went to Resident #1's room. She said she believed there was a yelling match and staff (unknown) called 911. She said the police came to the facility and escorted CNA A and her significant other off the property. She said she told the ADON to start in-servicing on violence in the workplace, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, to conduct safe surveys to check on the residents, gather witness statements, and told the DON to refer the resident to psych services to make sure he was okay and did not suffer any trauma. She said CNA A was suspended until further investigation was completed. She said the police were called and was told they would be patrolling the area a little more frequently for the next two weeks. She said all the keycode pads were recoded. She said they were planning on starting HIPPA staff in-service training violation because CNA A should not have been saying what care she was providing to Resident #1 and/or if the Resident #1's name was mentioned. She said staff were told that there were to be no more cell phones when providing care because it could have prevented the incident from occurring. She said the incident may have happened around 12:30ish p.m. In an interview on 03/04/24 at 1:47 p.m., the ADON said she had been working at the facility since 10/28/23. She said Nurse B called her on 03/03/24 and reported that CNA A and she were doing wound care on Resident #1. She said Nurse B told her CNA A was on the phone with her significant other who told CNA A that it was taking too long to do wound care. She said she was not sure if CNA A had her phone on speaker or at some point the significant other told CNA A to put the phone on speaker. She said Nurse B told her when CNA A had her phone on speaker, Resident #1 and the significant other started saying f-Us to each other and CNA A's significant other threatened to come to the facility with a handgun to handle Resident #1.

She said she was present when Nurse B was talking to the cops and Nurse B told them the significant other had a handgun in his waistband. She said she walked away and went to speak with the resident. She said Resident #1 told her CNA A's significant other had a handgun, that it was visible, was in his hand, and went inside his room. She said she asked Resident #1 if the significant other pointed the handgun at him and he told her no. She said she asked him if he felt safe and he told her yes. She said Resident #1 told her he did not feel traumatized and did not need psych services. She said he told her the significant other said he would be back. In a telephone interview on 03/04/24 at 4:14 p.m., Nurse B said CNA A was helping her with Resident #1's wound care and had no clue that she was on the phone because she had her air pods/headphones in her ear. She said she was in the middle of taking off Resident #1's dressings and putting on new ones, and CNA was making and getting the bedding ready. She said CNA A said a few things (did not know what she said) and Resident #1 asked CNA A if she was talking to the air because they did not know she was on the phone. She said out of nowhere, CNA A blurted out it does take me two hours to do wound care. She said CNA A's significant other was upset because it was taking two hours. She said she asked CNA A what she was talking about, and CNA A told her she was talking to her significant other. She said she asked her what she meant, and she said CNA A told her that she answered her phone on her air pods/headphones. She said she asked CNA A to please not do that, especially at bedside. She said CNA A ignored her and continued talking on the phone. She said Resident #1 told CNA A to tell her significant other to go get his RN license and become a nurse and when he got his RN license and had to do wound care, he would see how extensive his wounds were and that it took two hours. She said after Resident #1 said that she carried on with what she was doing and thought CNA A got off the phone but then out of nowhere CNA A told Resident #1 that her significant other said, shut the fuck up. She said she was shocked that CNA A repeated those words, was still on her phone, and said that to the resident. She said she asked CNA A to exit the room, that it was very inappropriate, and why would she tell that to a resident. She said CNA A got an attitude and exited the room. She said CNA A went back to the hall and was walking around talking to her significant other. She said when she was done helping another resident, she went back down to Resident #1's room. She said Resident #1 told her CNA A had come in his room after she left, was on speaker phone with her significant other and cussed him out at bedside. She said that was when she found out CNA A was not down the hall. She said she was super busy because she was at the nurse's station charting, but from the corner of her eye she saw people walk past her but did not see who it was. She said she then heard really, really, really, loud screaming and was like what in the heck and triggered that oh my god it was probably CNA A's significant other going after Resident #1. She said she had a bad feeling about it because of the way they had talked and threatened each other over the phone. She said she jumped up, ran to the room, and heard the significant other tell Resident #1 I'm not a fucking boy, I'm a fucking man, and I am about to show you. She said when she got to the resident's room, CNA A's significant other looked at CNA A and told her to step out the room and shut the door behind her. She said she told CNA A's significant other, oh no, we are not doing this. She said he was at Resident #1's bedside hoovering over him. She said CNA A's significant other was wearing baggy pants and a real big baggy jacket, so she did not see the pistol at first. She said he had one arm around his waist, and had his other arm bunched up like he was nudging at Resident #1 trying to intimidate him while he was also screaming at him. She said she told CNA A's significant other we are not doing this; you need to get out of the room right now.

She said she was literally screaming at the top of her lungs. She said Resident #1 looked at her again and said that it was okay and to let him stay and she said she told the resident no. She said at that point she was confused and did not understand why the resident was telling her to let him stay. She said she had no clue what was going on and all she knew was CNA A let her significant other in the building and he was screaming at Resident #1 and had a pistol. She said at the time when she got in front of CNA A's significant other, she did not see the pistol. She said when he turned around, she was in between him and Resident #1, and told him to exit the room. She said he was trying to push up against her, nudging her, like a chest pump. She said she would not move so he did not get to Resident #1, but he was trying to stay there. She said she told him no, forced him backwards out of the room, and when he turned around to get in the hallway that was when she saw the pistol. She said when she noticed the pistol, she was like oh my god, just play it off, pretend you did not see it and she continued to escort CNA A and her significant other out of the building. She said she told them there was the exit and kept being forceful with them and said, exit the building, both of y'all. She said when she finally got CNA A and her significant other out the door area, she told both of them, do not come back on the premises, do not come back in this door. She said he did not care when he got out to the door. She said he was flaunting the pistol everywhere. She said he had it in his hand and was nonchalantly talking. She said she shut the door quickly and someone called 911. She said the cops went to the facility and after, she went back in the facility and talked to Resident #1. She said Resident #1 told her he told her to let CNA A's significant other to stay in his room because she did not see the pistol, and he did not want her to get hurt. She said Resident #1 told her it was going to be what it was. She said Resident #1 did not want her or Resident #2 to get hurt or shot if something went down. She said at the time it was not that scary, but when she thought back about it, it was pretty scary. She said she was just in full force mode trying to fix the situation and make it stop and did not think about how serious it was.
