Interview with LVN A on 12/27/2024 at 1:26pm, she stated that she worked on Resident #1's hall. She read
his chart which reflected he had ligatures around his neck caused by his call light. She denied him having
symptoms of suicidal ideation, and that he never expressed loneliness or depressive symptoms. Resident
#1 was quiet, polite and very nice. LVN A said Resident #1's roommate discharged recently so he was in
his room by himself. She was aware he had a prior suicide attempt at his last facility, but that he never
expressed any concerns to her.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview with the Social Worker on 12/27/2024 at 1:43pm, she said that she was not at the facility during
the incident but heard that Resident #1 had a call light wrapped around his neck and a CNA removed it and
afterward the resident was conscious and responded to verbal and physical stimuli. She said he did not
seem like he would attempt what he did and denied Resident #1 making an attempt at this facility. The
Social Worker said he did not talk to a lot of people and did not go to activities such either. The resident and
his previous roommate did not talk to each other, but the resident appeared comfortable with the room.
swelling on his face, but he denied pain.
Attempted to interview with CNA C on 12/27/2024 at 2:41pm, but she did not answer the phone call, and a
voicemail was left.
Interview with CNA B on 12/27/2024 at 2:59pm, revealed she witnessed and removed the call light around
Resident #1's neck. CNA B stated she changed Resident #1's brief at 10:00pm and he was doing fine. At
11:00pm the resident was in bed. When she went back around 1:00am, his call light came on and she
walked into the room where CNA B saw Resident #1 with his cord around his throat and pulling it tight. CNA
B said Resident #1 was making choking sounds and his eyes looked like they were gonna pop off; she
started yelling for help. CNA B was unable to pull the cord from Resident #1's hand because he held onto it
tight, so she pulled the cord from the outlet and was able to go in the opposite direction and remove the
cord from his neck, but the resident continued to hold onto the cord. Resident #1 did not say anything and
laid in bed. The two nurses came to assess and stayed with the resident. CNA B said Resident #1 was nice
and sweet, did not ask for a lot and was dependent on staff for brief changes. She said one of the nurses
called 911 and Resident #1 left around 20 minutes later. CNA B denied Resident #1 mentioning suicide or
wanting to commit suicide to her.
Interview with LVN B on 12/27/2024 at 3:31pm, she was the charge nurse for Resident #1's hall during the
incident. She said when she started her shift on 12/26/2024 at 6:00pm, the resident was sitting at the side
of his bed and there were no concerns. At 1:10am , CNA B had answered Resident #1's call light but LVN B
did not remember what the resident needed at that time. About 15 minutes later, LVN B heard CNA B call
out. When LVN B arrived to Resident #1's room, CNA B told her that Resident #1 had a cord around his
neck and was choking himself so she removed it. LVN B and LVN C were the two nurses during the night
shift, so LVN C assessed Resident #1's vitals and oxygen and LVN B called 911 at 1:36am. At the time,
Resident #1 did not say anything, and from what she remembered his vitals were pretty good. Resident
#1's only skin abnormality was his obvious ligature marks around his neck. Resident #1e retracted when a
sternum rub was performed but was not otherwise responsive, and he was not asleep. 911 arrived at
1:42am, they did assessments, questioned staff, and discussed if Resident #1 needed to be transferred or
not. LVN B said she told them he needed to be transferred because it was an active suicide attempt, and
they went ahead and took him. LVN B said EMS' assessments revealed normal pupil dilation, but when they
attempted a blood sugar check, Resident #1 snatched his hands away. LVN B notified the DON who
responded right away.

Interview with the DON on 12/27/2024 at 3:41pm, she said LVN B notified her of Resident #1's incident on
12/26/2024 around 1:30am to 2:30am. The DON told LVN B to do a total assessment including a skin and
pain assessment. LVN B told her she sent Resident #1 to the ER and notified the MD and family and
completed a Change in Condition assessment. The DON began her investigation and found that during
medication review, Resident #1 was placed on Zyrtec on 12/20/2024 which could cause suicidal ideation.
The DON said Resident #1 was rolling through the hallway and she did not see any symptoms of suicidal
ideation from him. She said Resident #1 was care-planned for suicidal ideation because he came to the
facility from a behavioral hospital for a suicide attempt, but he never had an attempt at the facility. The family
did not share his previous suicide attempt. The DON said no residents showed signs of suicidal ideation.
The DON said she did not report the abuse to the State because according to the new State guidelines,
Resident #1 did not have an injury of unknown origin and that he did not expire at the facility and that the
facility got Resident #1 help immediately. She said that the Administrator reported when she found out
today. The DON did not suspect foul play since Resident #1 was found in his room alone.
Interview with the Administrator on 12/27/2024 at 4:15pm, she stated that she first heard of the incident on
12/27/2024 around 1:00pm. She stated she was concerned that no one told her because that was
something she needed to report. She conducted interviews, looked at his skin and pain assessments,
called the Ombudsman, and notified the family. The Administrator said from her investigation, Resident #1
was happy, and the facility did not know what happened in the 15 minutes between his call light being
answered the first and second time. The Administrator said that if she knew about the incident, she would
have reported it immediately, and that anything out of the ordinary should be reported. She said reporting in
a timely manner was to protect the residents.
Record review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation - Reporting and
Investigating policy statement revised September 2022 revealed if resident abuse, neglect, exploitation,
misappropriation of resident property or injury of unknown source is suspected, the suspicion must be
reported immediately to the administrator and to other officials according to state law.
Record review of the facility's Identifying Neglect policy revised September 2022, the facility's employees,
volunteers and contractors are expected to be able to identify neglect as it may occur against residents,
and that staff and service providers are
expected to report deficiencies in processes or practices that may lead to resident neglect.

#1's only skin abnormality was his obvious ligature marks around his neck. Resident #1e retracted when a
sternum rub was performed but was not otherwise responsive, and he was not asleep. 911 arrived at
1:42am, they did assessments, questioned staff, and discussed if Resident #1 needed to be transferred or
not. LVN B said she told them he needed to be transferred because it was an active suicide attempt, and
they went ahead and took him. LVN B said EMS' assessments revealed normal pupil dilation, but when they
attempted a blood sugar check, Resident #1 snatched his hands away. LVN B notified the DON who
responded right away.
Interview with the DON on 12/27/2024 at 3:41pm, she said LVN B notified her of Resident #1's incident on
12/26/2024 around 1:30am to 2:30am. The DON told LVN B to do a total assessment including a skin and

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
during medication review, Resident #1 was placed on Zyrtec on 12/20/2024 which could cause suicidal
ideation. The DON said Resident #1 was rolling through the hallway and she did not see any symptoms of
suicidal ideation from him. She said Resident #1 was care-planned for suicidal ideation because he came
to the facility from a behavioral hospital for a suicide attempt, but he never had an attempt at the facility. The
family did not share his previous suicide attempt. The DON said no residents showed signs of suicidal
ideation. The DON said she did not report the abuse to the State because according to the new State
guidelines, Resident #1 did not have an injury of unknown origin and that he did not expire at the facility
and that the facility got Resident #1 help immediately. She said that the Administrator reported when she
found out today. The DON did not suspect foul play since Resident #1 was found in his room alone.
Interview with the Administrator on 12/27/2024 at 4:15pm, she stated that she first heard of the incident on
12/27/2024 around 1:00pm. She stated she was concerned that no one told her because that was
something she needed to report. She conducted interviews, looked at his skin and pain assessments,
called the Ombudsman, and notified the family. The Administrator said from her investigation, Resident #1
was happy, and the facility did not know what happened in the 15 minutes between his call light being
answered the first and second time. The Administrator said that if she knew about the incident, she would
have reported it immediately, and that anything out of the ordinary should be reported. She said reporting in
a timely manner was to protect the residents.
Record review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation - Reporting and
Investigating policy statement revised September 2022 revealed if resident abuse, neglect, exploitation,
misappropriation of resident property or injury of unknown source is suspected, the suspicion must be
reported immediately to the administrator and to other officials according to state law.
Record review of the facility's Identifying Neglect policy revised September 2022, the facility's employees,
volunteers and contractors are expected to be able to identify neglect as it may occur against residents,
and that staff and service providers are
expected to report deficiencies in processes or practices that may lead to resident neglect.
