calm his agitation, with no avail. She stated that CNA A worked from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. both 12/30/2025 and
12/31/2025. She stated the facility was short staffed both those shifts, and CNA A had to cover half the
residents outside of the secure unit in addition to the secure unit residents. She stated that CNA A had a
loud and assertive personality and Resident #1 had not been fond of CNA A who was too loud for him. She
stated on 12/31/2025, CNA A reported to her that Resident #1 would not go to sleep and continued to pace
amongst the other residents. She stated that CNA A had expressed on many occasions that she was not
happy working the secure unit. She stated that it takes a certain type of individuals to work with dementia
patients and did not believe CNA A was one of them. She also stated that she had to redirect CNA A on
both the 12/30/2025 and 12/31/2025 shifts to not leave the unit without letting her know to cover the
residents. She stated that the residents in the secure unit have PRN medications that can be given if they

01/03/2026 on Hall-3 which was her preferred hall to work. She stated on 12/30/2025 and 12/31/2025 the
facility was short staffed, and she was responsible for caring for a total of 30-residents. She stated because
of the New Years Eve holiday, fireworks and gunshots were going off throughout the shifts in the facility's
neighborhood making the residents on the secure unit extremely agitated, restless, and exit seeking. She
stated that she had to remain behind the nurse's station most of the evening because every resident on the
secure unit was pacing and searching for an exit. She stated that Resident #1 felt like she was trying to
attack him and he came up to her and banged on the nurse's station desk. She stated she felt safe because
the desk kept enough space between her and the residents. She stated in addition the residents were going
into each other's rooms and the common areas and picking up items they would not normally touch, hitting
on the exit door, and she had to constantly redirect them from running and bumping into each other, and
swing their arms towards her and the computer where she was charting. She stated that she informed RN
B of the residents' behaviors and RN B only advised her to keep moving and keep redirecting them. She
stated at one point she had to take the computer back to RN B to keep the residents from breaking. She
stated she left the secure unit several times to check on residents on Hall-3 and stated she alerted RN B to
cover the hall when she left. She stated she returned to shift on 01/02/2026 worked on Hall-3 and CNA B
worked the secure unit. She stated she told CNA B about how crazy 12/31/2025's shift was with all the
resident in the secure unit were exit seeking the entire shift. She stated while she was sharing the story
with CNA B, CNA stated cuss words may have been used to describe the events of the evening but not
used to cuss or threatened to hurt Resident #1 if he hit her or any of the residents. She stated at no time
had Resident #1 attempted to hit her or flare his arms near her by accident or on purpose where she would
have had to protect herself, nor was she aware if he had hit himself, others, or others hit him where he
could have bruised his wrists. She stated she was familiar with the aspects of abuse and named: financial,
verbal, physical, mental, and sexual as forms of abuse. She stated that she had an in-service training on
abuse, neglect, and exploitation (ANE) almost once every month. She stated she received a call on
01/04/2026 just before her shift that she was being suspended pending an ANE allegation and on
01/06/2026 received another call from the ADM that she had been terminated related to allegations of ANE.
She stated that she had never had a write up or been fired from a job and had never been accused of ANE.

During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 12:14 p.m. CNA B stated she worked for the facility since 10/20/2023
and worked the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift on the secure unit. She stated she had been off shift last working
before 12/25/2025. She stated she returned to work on 01/02/2026 at 10 p.m. and while on shift CNA A told
her that on 12/31/2025 the shift CNA worked while on the secure unit was crazy. CNA B stated CNA A
stated Resident #1 was upset and came around the desk raised his hand up and tried to hit CNA A. CNA B
stated CNA A told Resident #1, Mother Fucker, you better not hit me. She stated on 01/02/2026 around 11
a.m. she received a text message from DON asking her about any incident that occurred with Resident #1.
She stated she replied that CNA A had cussed and threatened Resident #1 on the 12/31/2025 overnight
shift. She stated that she and CNA A were suspended pending an investigation for failure to report and
document the verbal abuse. She stated she had never been written up or had any disciplinary action. She
stated that she should have reported what CNA A had cussed and threatened Resident #1 immediately
upon learning. She stated she was unsure why she had not because she normally reported everything. She
stated Resident #1 had not been known to be aggressive, unless he was irritable or provoked to act
aggressive. She stated that forms of ANE were emotional, physical, verbal, and, financial and she received
in-service training on ANE often. During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 01:05 p.m. MD stated that he was
Resident #1's physician and the facility informed him that Resident #1 had bruising to the right wrist on
01/04/2026. He stated that the resident had sensitivity to noises such as loud commotions and yelling. He
stated those factors would trigger Resident #1 who had a diagnosis of PTSD and could cause the resident
to become aggressive and lash out. He stated the resident was under the care of a physiatrist who was
managing the resident's behaviors with Risperidone, Trazodone, Divalproex Sodium, and Memantine. He
stated that the resident was redirectable, but if provoked he would physically lash out. He stated that he had
prescribed Resident #1 aspirin which could contribute to easy bruising. He stated the facility was unable to
determine how the resident obtained the bruising but if a staff member had aggressively approached the
resident, he had the tendency to swing his arms in a protective manner and could have hit his arm or wrists
on something. He stated fireworks and gunshots sounds would trigger that resident's fight and flight
response which could result in aggressive behavior. During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 01:28 p.m.
Resident #1's Family A stated that she had been informed by the facility of the bruising on the resident's
wrist. She stated that the facility had not been able to determine the cause of the bruise. She stated that the
resident was not on blood thinners and had been known to easily bruise. She stated that the resident had
many injuries over the years due to his poor balance and gait. She stated the resident was diagnosed with
PTSD resulting from his days as a Vietnam soldier. She stated that if anyone displayed dominance over the
resident it would trigger the fear of being in battle again. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Notes
dated 01/03/2026 at 07:00 a.m. completed by RN A reflected: Observed purple area on the top of resident's
hand to the wrist then a white area and at the wrist to forearm a purple area. No open area, no edema, no
pain, and Resident #1 stated he did know how discoloration occurred. Injury Type: bruising to back of right
hand. Record review of Resident #1's Change of Condition Communication dated 01/03/2026 at 07:00 a.m.
completed by RN A reflected Resident #1's change in condition regarding his skin on his right arm. While
making rounds RN A observed resident in secure unit while in bed facing the door. Right arm lying next to
his face and observed the right arm had a purple color from the top of the hand to the wrist then a white
area and then a purple color on the forearm. Resident asked how he got discoloration, but resident was
unaware and noted not having any pain. Resident's MD and RP notified and x-rays ordered and performed.

titled Nursing Policies and Procedures and revised date 06/2019 Subject: Behavior Management Policy: It
is the policy of this facility that the staff will incorporate behavior management techniques to improve the
resident's quality of life.Behaviors are a form of communication; behavior management is the attempt to
understand that communication and meet the needs of the patient/residentsNot all behaviors are

significantly violate the rights of others?B. Does the behavior pose a significant threat to someone's health
or safety?C. Does the behavior make it significantly more difficult to meet regulations, such as bathing
requirements? If the answer is yes to any of these questions; you will need to develop an
intervention.Procedure:Assessment:All behavior management must begin with a comprehensive
assessment. Only then can your team develop effective and appropriate intervention. Every resident/patient
will have an initial assessment for any mood or behavior need. Staff should be familiar with resident/patients

behaviors.The assessment process is ongoing and should change with any new needs identified:1.
Elimination of any physiological concerns will be the first consideration; pain, infections, medication side
effects sleep deprivation, elimination issues .2. Document and track mood and behaviors and document
non-pharmacological attempts to intervene with mood or behavior issues on the behavior monitoring forms
as they occur per facility guidelines. Ensure you have identified the target mood or behavior on the behavior
monitoring forms not just the diagnosis. All psychotropic medications must be monitored by nursing each
shift. A psychotropic is any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental process and
behaviors.The following medications must have a behavior monitoring form;A. AntipsychoticB.
AntidepressantC. AntianxietyD. Hypnotic3. Review your behavior documentation including Behavior
Interventions Monthly Flow record for accuracy and patterns. Time of day, week or month behaviors occurs,
what task was being performed, or staff member or another patient/resident involved when behavior
occurs.4. Assess needs related to:A. Eliminating hunger or thirstB. Ruling out the need for rest or sleepC.
Eliminating pain as a sourceD. Eliminating warmth or cold as a sourceE. Physiological or medical problems
(e.g. blood sugar changes, dialysis issue . )F. Attending to toileting needsG. Ensure hygiene needs are
metH. Shift change issues-time to go home, new staff.Diagnosis Review:A key element to the assessment
process is to review of the resident diagnosis. Knowledge of the epidemiology anticipated can be very
helpful in understanding possible root causes of mood and behavior issues.Looking at mental health
diagnosis can be helpful and we will review a few; however, do not overlook other diagnosis that can have a
profound effect of mood and behavior's such as: COPD, Lupus, and Arthritis (any diagnosis associated with
pain), and blindness, deaf or hard of hearing . Record review of policy titled Nursing Policies and

psychiatric services assessment was on 11/28/2025 and there were no changes to his medications at that
time. DON stated that Resident #1's aggressive behaviors had improved substantially over time. DON
stated simply giving the resident a cookie quickly settled him down. ADM stated that CNA A's employment
status was pending termination due to the verbal abuse. ADM stated that CNA B was suspended for failure
to report the allegation of verbal abuse immediately upon learning of the allegation and failure to report the
change of condition to the nurse immediately upon observing Resident #1's arm discoloration. ADM stated
that the facility conducted safety surveys in the secured unit with no witness to the allegations, and at that
time Resident #1 seemed like his normal self. ADM stated they reported the incident to the local police
authorities, resident's medical doctor (MD) and Family A. ADM stated that she was the facility's abuse
coordinator. During an interview on 01/04/2026 at 06:43 p.m. Registered Nurse (RN) A stated she worked
for the facility for 3-years. She stated Resident #1 was easily bothered by loud noises which caused him to
become extremely agitated and exit seeking. She stated that he had PTSD from his war years in the
Vietnam War. She stated he used to tell her stories about how he had been a tunnel rat (courageous
soldiers in the Vietnam War, who crawled into enemy tunnel systems to clear them of troops, booby traps,
and intelligence, armed with little more than a pistol, flashlight, and knife, facing extreme claustrophobia,
deadly traps, and close-quarters combat in the dark, making it one of the war's most terrifying roles). She
stated that keeping his space quiet kept the resident calm. She started her 01/03/2026, shift at 6 a.m. as
the nurse for the secure unit. She stated while rounding/checking on residents found at 06:30 a.m. that
Resident #1 had bruising on his right wrist up his forearm with a paler white in between the discoloration.
She asked the resident what happened to his wrist, but he had not provided her with an explanation. She
stated she had not believed the resident was aware of how the bruise had occurred. She stated that she
immediately reported the incident to DON and resident's MD. She stated that she had not received any
information on how the bruising could have come about. She stated that she was familiar with CNA A as
being the CNA that last worked the overnight shift in the secure unit from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on 12/31/2025
into 01/01/2026. She stated because they worked different shifts, she was not familiar with CNA A's work
ethics or personality. During an interview on 01/04/2026 at 07:13 p.m. RN B stated she worked for the
facility for 2-years off and on as the nurse for the secure unit and the front half of Hall-1 from 6 p.m. to 6
a.m. She stated she last came on shift on 01/03/2026 and was informed by RN A that Resident #1 had a
reportable incident and was asked had anything occurred on the unit that could have caused the bruising.
She stated she was not aware after being off on 01/01/2026 and 01/02/2026. She stated she had last
worked on 12/31/2025 into 01/01/2026. She stated as a result of the celebration of the 2026 new year
fireworks and gunshots were going off throughout the shift in the facility's neighborhood making the
residents on the secure unit extremely agitated and restless, and stated that Resident #1 was no exception.
She stated Resident #1 was nonverbal and had a diagnosis of dementia and on 12/31/2025 he was having
a bad evening pacing back and forth exit seeking. She stated she passed him cookies and water both shifts
to try and calm his agitation. She stated that CNA A worked from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. both 12/30/2025 and
12/31/2025 and the facility was short staffed, and CNA A had to cover half the residents outside of the
secure unit in addition. She stated that CNA A had a loud and assertive personality and Resident #1 had
not been fond of CNA A who was too loud for him. She stated on 12/31/2025, CNA A reported to her that
Resident #1 would not go to sleep and continued to pace amongst the other residents. She stated that CNA
A had expressed on many occasions that she was not happy working the secure unit. She stated that it
takes a certain type of individuals to work with dementia patients and did not believe CNA A was one of
them. She also stated

that she had to redirect CNA A on both the 12/30/2025 and 12/31/2025 shifts to not leave the unit without
letting her know to cover the residents. She stated that the residents in the secure unit have PRN
medications that can be given if they exhibit behaviors of agitation. She stated that CNA A had not asked
for any of the residents to receive PRN medication to calm their aggression or restlessness. During an
interview on 01/06/2026 at 11:36 a.m. CNA A stated that she had worked for the facility since 2022 on a
rotating 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift. She stated she last worked 01/02/2026 and 01/03/2026 on Hall-3 which was
her normal and preferred hall to work. She stated she last worked the secure unit and half of Hall-3 on
12/30/2025 and 12/31/2025. She stated on that shift she was responsible for caring for a total of
30-residents as they were short-staffed those evenings. She stated those were a lot of residents to care for
by herself, especially because in celebration of the 2026 new year, fireworks and gunshots were going off
all throughout the shifts in the facility's neighborhood making the residents on the secure unit extremely
agitated and restless. She stated that she had to remain behind the nurse's station most of the evening
because every resident was on the floor pacing and searching for an exit. She stated that Resident #1 was
no exception and felt like she was trying to attack him as he would come up to her and bang on the desk.
She stated she felt safe because the desk kept enough space between her and the residents. She stated in
addition the residents were going into each other's rooms and the common areas and picking up items they
would not normally touch, hitting on the exit door, and she had to constantly redirect them from running and
bumping into each other, and swing their arms towards her and the computer where she was charting. She
stated that she informed RN B of the residents' behaviors and RN B only advised her to keep moving and
keep redirecting them. She stated at one point she had to take the computer back to RN B to keep the
residents from breaking. She stated she had to leave the secure unit several times to check on, reposition,
and change the residents on Hall-3. She stated that she would alert RN B that she was leaving the hall but
could not say if RN B stayed in the hall while she was gone. She stated when she returned to shift on
01/02/2026 she worked on Hall-3 and CNA B was working the secure unit. She stated on that shift she told
CNA B about how crazy 12/31/2025's shift was as all the residents on the secure unit were awake and exit
seeking through the whole shift and how it had never been that busy of an evening. She stated while she
was sharing the story with CNA B, CNA stated cuss words may have been used to describe the events of
the evening but not used to cuss or threatened to hurt Resident #1 if he hit her or any of the residents. She
stated at no time had Resident #1 attempted to hit her or flare his arms near her by accident or on purpose
where she would have had to protect herself, nor was she aware if he had hit himself, others, or others hit
him where he could have bruised his wrists. She stated she was familiar with the aspects of abuse and
named: financial, verbal, physical, mental, and sexual as forms of abuse. She stated that she had an
in-service training on abuse, neglect, and exploitation (ANE) almost once every month. She stated she
received a call on 01/04/2026 just before her shift that she was being suspended pending an ANE
allegation and on 01/06/2026 received another call from the ADM that she had been terminated related to
allegations of ANE. She stated that she had never had a write up or been fired from a job and had never
been accused of ANE. During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 12:14 p.m. CNA B stated she worked for the
facility since 10/20/2023 and worked the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift on the secure unit. She stated she had been
off shift last working before 12/25/2025. She stated she returned to work on 01/02/2026 at 10 p.m. and
while on shift CNA A told her that on 12/31/2025 the shift CNA worked while on the secure unit was crazy.
CNA B stated CNA A stated Resident #1 was upset and came around the desk raised his hand up and

the schedule pending an investigation. She stated that she should have reported what CNA A had cussed

bruising but if a staff member had aggressively approached the resident, he had the tendency to swing his
arms in a protective manner and could have hit his arm or wrists on something. He stated fireworks and
gunshots sounds would trigger that resident's fight and flight response which could result in aggressive
behavior. During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 01:28 p.m. Resident #1's Family A stated that she had been

back in battle again. She stated that the resident was not on blood thinners and had been known to easily
bruise. Record review of Resident #1's Progress Notes dated 01/03/2026 at 07:00 a.m. completed by RN A

his soiled hands or brief but stated that he believed they had as his hands would be cleaned. During an
interview on 01/04/2026 at 05:54 p.m. with Administrator (ADM) and Director of Nursing (DON) both agreed
that no issues had been reported relating to Resident #2 having dug into his soiled brief and putting feces
on/in his mouth. DON stated had they been made aware of the resident's behavior being more than a
one-time occurrence, the behavior should have been care planned and progress notes made noting the
behavior. DON stated that the resident had diagnosis of schizoaffective, anxiety, and bipolar disorders and
from her knowledge had transitioned within the facility well. During an interview on 01/04/2026 at 7:05 p.m.
Medication Aide (MA) stated that on 01/02/2026 sometime during her 02:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (exact time
unknown) shift she observed Resident #2 place a hand in his adult brief and pulled out feces and would
have placed that soiled hand into his mouth had she not immediately intervened. She stated she asked the
resident what he was doing and whether he was about to eat his feces. She stated the resident stopped,
and she quickly left the room to locate his certified nursing aide (CNA), only to find that CNA was assisting
another resident. She stated that she returned to the resident and washed his hands and changed his brief
as she was also a CNA asking him again was he going to place his soiled hand in his mouth. She stated
the resident asked what she was talking about and seemed confused by her questions. She stated that she
should have reported the incident to LVN A who was his charge nurse due to infection control issue and
maintaining the resident's dignity and respect but had not. She stated she thought his behavior had already
been care planned. She stated failing to report the resident's behavior placed him at risk of repeated
undocumented behaviors, illness, and put the facility at risk for cross contamination. She stated on
01/04/2026 she received a training in-service on reporting changes in conditions, residents' dignity and
respect, and infection control. During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 04:42 p.m. LVN A stated she was
Resident #2's nurse and had not been made aware of behaviors relating to him pulling feces out of his brief
and placing his hand into his mouth. She stated had she been made aware, the behavior would have been
reported immediately to the DON, ADM and his MD. She stated that his behavior fell under a change of
condition and by reporting to his MD would expect a psychiatric evaluation order to be put in place and the
resident's care plan updated. She stated the incident going undocumented and unreported placed the
resident at risk for repeated behaviors and receptive to illness, and infection. She stated it further placed
the facility at risk for infection control and cross contamination issues. During a confidential interview at
undisclosed time, an anonymous person stated Resident #2 had been known to have feces under his
fingernails, on his hands, beard, sides of his mouth, and in his mouth and teeth. The anonymous person
stated the incidents occurred sometime during the New Year's Day holiday week during lunch time meal
pass. The anonymous person stated she could not provide specific dates/times. The anonymous person
stated an unknown male staff reported to LVN B that Resident #2 was observed with feces in his mouth
and in his beard, and on his hands. The anonymous person stated LVN B entered the resident's room and
upon seeing the resident's condition said, Oh, I'm not dealing with that and walked out the room. The
anonymous person stated the incident was not further reported leaving the non-care staff to clean the
resident's hands, but eventually, that male staff said, This is too far gone, and it's an infection control issue
and had to leave the resident to finish his tasks. The anonymous person stated that Resident #2 behavior
had been a recurring event that has continued to go on undocumented and further addressed without any
type of isolation or monitoring. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 11:52 a.m. LVN B stated that about a
week ago Physical Therapist Assistant PTA had come and asked her to observe the fingernails of Resident
#2. She stated upon observation Resident #2's appeared to have dried chocolate under his fingernails, on

around his mouth. She stated the resident was drooling and saw some of the same chocolate on his pillow.
She stated she called an aide who she could not recall their name to help clean up the resident, change his
brief, and repositing him in his bed. She stated she educated the resident about pressing his call light when
he needed changing and asked the resident what was under his fingernails. She stated at first the resident
responded that he had not known and then stated to her, Oh yea that is poop. She stated that she had not
suspected that the substance was feces and had not sensed an odor of feces when cleaning up the
resident. She stated had she known that the resident had feces on his hand or face she would have
reported to LVN A who was the resident's nurse. She stated that incident would be considered a change in
condition and required immediate reporting to the resident's MD and RP. She stated interventions would
then be put in place for Resident #2 to be redirected to follow the infection control policy. She stated that the
resident had to be redirected often about notifying staff when he had a soiled brief so he could be changed.
She stated she believed she documented the incident in progress notes on that date but stated that she
had not reported the incident to the resident's MD because she was pulled into assistance and was sure if
that was behavior that required reporting LVN A would have already been reported. During an interview on
01/07/2026 at 12:06 p.m. PTA stated on or about 12/29/2025 he entered Resident #2's room for therapy
services and observed the resident in bed with what appeared to be feces on his hand. He stated that he
came closer and could smell the foul odor of feces from the resident and then noticed a tinge of brown in
the resident's mustache and beard and on the resident's chin. He stated then the resident began speaking
and the smell of feces increased and he could see feces in the resident's mouth and on his teeth. He stated
he immediately searched for a nurse finding LVN B who he felt was a reliable nurse to share his finding. He
stated LVN B observed the resident and left the room stating she was reporting the incident to LVN A. He
stated none returned to clean the resident and lunch trays were being passed so he put on gloves and
used sanitation wipes to clean resident's hands and fingernails. He stated while cleaning, Resident #2 told
him that he had reached back into his brief, brought his hand around and had not realized that his hands
had gotten soiled with feces. He stated he disposed of the wipes in the resident's bathroom trashcan,
washed his hands, and left the resident returning to the rehab department. He stated he informed the
Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) of the incident. He stated he had not had an in-service training on infection
control since being employed, and felt the facility needed to do better on their infection control monitoring
and practices. He stated he had not felt the resident had the mental cognition to inform staff when he soiled
his briefs and saw the resident a few times a week for therapy services in the resident's room. He stated
that the resident was not compliant with therapy services, and he had to continuously motivate the resident
to get him out of bed. He stated that OTA and himself assisted with feeding residents during meals and
stated that this was not the first incident where the resident was found with feces on his hand. During an
interview on 01/07/2026 at 12:37 p.m. DOR stated that she had not been made aware of Resident #2
digging in his soiled brief by PTA. She stated on 01/05/2026 the facility had an interdisciplinary team (IDT)
meeting which consisted of DON, ADM, MDS, and herself to discuss Resident #2 issue digging in his brief.
She stated that the facility had set additional monitoring in place as an intervention for Resident #2's
behavior. She stated that the resident had not been at the facility long and she had previously observed the
resident eating in the dining room with no issues. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 02:59 p.m. Family A
stated that the facility had not made her aware of any past or present abnormal behaviors of Resident #2's.
She stated that the resident had received psychiatric services from a psychiatric physician every 3 months

ADM and DON informed her that that Resident #2 had smeared feces, but on 01/07/2026 at 03:35 p.m. the
feces had been in/on his mouth and beard. She stated LVN B had apparently told LVN A that the resident
had placed his hand in his mouth after digging in in brief finding feces on his hand, then told LVN B he had
not dug in his brief. She stated all she knew was LVN B made him clean his nails and face and then MDS
care planned that he had smeared feces. She stated as the infection control preventionist (IP) she was
informed and began in-service training on 01/04/2026 with the staff on infection control to educate on
redirect the resident the best they could. She stated knowing that occurrence makes the incident a change
in condition and required his MD to be notified. She would expect the MD would refer to the resident for a
psychiatry evaluation. She stated that progress notes would be updated and reflect the incident, and the RP
contacted and asked whether he/she had been of that behavior to understand if it had gone on in the past.
She stated that interventions were put in place to increase rounds to monitor resident for increased
behaviors and assure his brief was changed more frequently to avoid the behavior. She stated it would
have been her expectation that staff followed infection control procedures by reporting and documenting the
incidents. She stated the risk of not reporting placed Resident #2 and other residents at risk for illness and
disease. She stated that the facility had in-service training on infection control monthly and as needed.
During an interview on 01/07/2025 at 03:45 p.m. MDS stated on 01/04/2026 she had been made aware that
Resident #2 had smeared his feces and updated his care plan to reflect that behavior on 01/04/2026. She
stated she had not known that resident had feces in and around his mouth she would have called an IDT
care conference meeting with all the department head managers to discuss the behavior and make both
the physician and family aware. She stated that Resident #2 would receive education on the importance of
infection control, and the IDT will be conducted an all-staff in-service on reporting a residents change in

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide the necessary behavioral health care and services
to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, in accordance
with the comprehensive assessment and plan of care. Based on interview, and record review, the facility
failed to notify the resident's physician, as applicable, promptly after a significant change in the mental or
physical condition of a resident who had mental illness or intellectual disability for 1 of 3 residents
(Residents #1) reviewed for Significant Change Notification. The facility failed to notify the medical doctor
(MD) after Resident #2 was found with feces in/on his mouth. The facility failed to document Resident #2
having feces in/on his mouth. This failure could place residents requiring psychiatric services at risk of not
having their special needs assessed and met by the facility.Findings include: Record review of Resident
#2's Facesheet generated on 01/04/2026 reflected a [AGE] year old male who admitted to the facility on
[DATE] as his own responsible party (RP) with medical diagnoses including gastro-esophageal reflux
disease (a condition where the stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus (canal that connects
the throat to the stomach), irritating its lining, causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation (food/fluid
coming up), schizoaffective disorder (a mood disorder featuring periods of hallucinations, delusions, and
disorganized thinking) depressive type, cognitive communication deficit (difficulty speaking, listening,
reading, or writing due to impaired thinking skills like memory, attention, problem-solving, and organization),
and bipolar disorder (a serious mental illness causing extreme shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels,
ranging from manic highs (euphoria, irritability, high energy) to depressive lows (sadness, hopelessness,
low energy). Record review of Resident #2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] reflected the
resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) was an 11 out of 15 reflecting Resident #2 had moderate
cognition impairment. (A score of 13-15 would indicate intact cognition.) He received a Preadmission
Screening and Resident Review (PASRR: in-depth assessment reviews records, interviews
individuals/families, and involves mental health/intellectual development professionals to create
personalized placement and treatment plans) positive level II (suspicion of serious mental illness). He
required assistance with toileting and was incontinent for both bladder and bowel. Record review of
Resident #2's Care Plan reflected:Focus:Resident #2 had a PASRR positive status related (r/t) to signs and
symptoms of severe mental illness on admission, revision date of 12/29/2025. (The Care Plan had not
reflected focused behaviors r/t to digging in his brief, eating or smearing feces.)Focus:Resident #2 was at
risk for further increased episodes and injury behaviors of smearing his feces.Goal: Through behavioral
monitoring and interventions, Resident #2 will have decreased behaviors and episodes, dated
01/04/2026.Interventions/Tasks Encourage:Resident #2 will be explained procedures by using
terms/gestures the resident can understand and encouraged to attend social activities of preference, report
progression/declines to MD for psychiatric consultants as ordered in resident's chart. Record review of
Resident #2's Progress Note dated 01/05/2026 at 08:45 p.m. reflected Nurse Practitioner (NP) performed
an evaluation with Resident #2 with a chief complaint of diarrhea. Record review of Resident #2's Progress
Note dated 01/05/2026 at 08:53 p.m. reflected MD ordered Resident #2 receiving monitoring for signs of
dehydration and/or electrolyte imbalance, after reporting loose stools approximately once daily. Labs were
ordered on 01/05/2026 to include a comprehensive panel to assess electrolyte status, to continue current
treatment and monitor for improvement. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 01:12 p.m. Resident #2

that his hands and fingernails were found to be soiled with feces, and he had rubbed his face, beard, sides
of his mouth and maybe placed his hands in his mouth with his soiled hands. He stated that behavior had
been an ongoing habit, and he was unaware when his hands were soiled with feces until after he had
already but his hands in his mouth. He said he could not recall care staff being called to assist him with his
soiled hands or brief but stated that he would be cleaned by the staff once they discovered him soiled.
During an interview on 01/04/2025 at 05:54 p.m. with Administrator (ADM) and Director of Nursing (DON)
both stated that they were not aware of any issues reported to Resident #2's MD for feces on/in his mouth
from digging in his soiled brief. DON stated that the resident had schizoaffective, anxiety, and bipolar
disorders and from her knowledge had been doing well at the facility. DON stated that now that they had
been made aware of the resident's behavior, they needed to determine whether the behavior was a
one-time occurrence or repeated behavior. She stated that if the behavior was repeated, his care plan
should reflect the behavior to make other staff aware. During an interview on 01/04/2026 at 7:05 p.m.
Medication Aide (MA) stated that on 01/02/2026 sometime between her shift of 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
(exact time unknown) while passing medication to Resident #2's she observed Resident #2 place his hand
in his adult brief and pulled up feces. She stated then she observed Resident #2 attempting to place that
soiled hand into his mouth. She stated that she immediately intervened and asked the resident What are
you doing? You are not about to eat that are you? referring to the resident placing his feces into his mouth.
She stated he stopped and then she left the room to locate his CNA, but she was assisting another
resident, so she returned to the resident's room and washed his hands and changed his brief. She asked
the resident again about placing his soiled hands in his mouth, and the resident asked her what was talking
about? She stated the resident seemed confused by her questions as if the incident had not taken place.
She stated she had not documented or reported the incident to anyone because she thought his behavior
had already been reported and care planned. She stated that she should have reported the incident to LVN
A who was his charge nurse due to infection control issues and maintaining the resident's dignity and
respect. She stated that she received a training in-service on reporting changes in conditions, residents'
dignity and respect, and infection control on 01/04/2026. She stated failing to report Resident #2's behavior
could continue the behavior and place the resident and others at risk of illness and cross contamination.
During an interview on 01/06/2026 at 04:42 p.m. LVN A stated she was Resident #2's nurse and worked for
the facility for about a month on the 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. shift. She stated she had not been made aware
of behaviors Resident #2 was exhibiting relating to him pulling feces out of his brief and placing his hand
into his mouth. She stated had she been made aware, she would have reported the behavior to the DON,
ADM and his MD as a change of condition and would have expected his MD to order a psychiatric
evaluation. She stated the incident going undocumented and unreported placed the resident at risk for
repeated behavior, illness, and infection, place the facility at risk for infection control and cross
contamination issues, and further place the resident at risk for loss of dignity and respected. During a
confidential interview at undisclosed time, an anonymous person stated Resident #2 had been known to
have feces under his fingernails, on his hands, beard, sides of his mouth, and in his mouth and teeth. The
anonymous person stated the incidents occurred sometime during the New Year's Day holiday week around
lunch time meal pass. The anonymous person stated she could not provide specific dates/times. The
anonymous person stated an unknown male staff reported to LVN B that Resident #2 was observed with
feces in his mouth and in his beard, and on his hands. The anonymous person stated LVN B entered the
resident's room and upon seeing the resident's condition said, Oh, I'm not dealing with that and walked out
of the room. The anonymous person stated the

incident was not further reported leaving the non-care staff to clean the resident's hands, but eventually,
that male staff said, This is too far gone, and it's an infection control issue and had to leave the resident to
finish his tasks. The anonymous person stated that Resident #2's behavior had been a recurring event that
had gone on undocumented and without any type of isolation or monitoring. During an interview on
01/07/2026 at 11:52 a.m. LVN B stated that about a week ago Physical Therapist Assistant PTA asked her
to observe Resident #2's fingernails for what she thought was chocolate dried under his fingernails. She
stated upon observing the resident she again stated he had what appeared to be chocolate under his nails,
and on his hand, and on and around his mouth. She stated the resident was drooling and saw some of the
same chocolate on his pillow. She stated she called an aide whose name could not be recalled to help
clean up the resident and change his brief. She stated she educated the resident about pressing his call
light when he needed changing and asked the resident what was under his fingernails. She stated at first
the resident responded that he had not known and then stated to her, Oh yea that is poop. She stated that
she had not suspected that the substance was feces and had not sensed an odor of feces when cleaning
up the resident. She stated had she known that the resident had feces on his hand or face she would have
reported to LVN A who was the resident's nurse. She stated that incident would be considered a change in
condition and required immediate reporting to the resident's MD and RP. She stated interventions would
then be put in place for Resident #2 to be redirected following the infection control policy. She stated that
the resident had to be redirected often about notifying staff when he had a soiled brief so he could be
changed. She stated she believed she documented the incident in progress notes but could not recall the
date or time. on that date but stated that she had not reported the incident to the resident's MD because
she was pulled into his room to assist and was sure if that was behavior that required reporting, LVN A
would have already had reported. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 12:06 p.m. PTA stated on or about
12/29/2025 during lunchtime he entered Resident #2's room for therapy services and observed the resident
in bed with what appeared to be feces on his hand. He stated that he came closer and could smell the odor
of feces from the resident and then noticed a brown tinge in the resident's mustache, beard and chin. He
stated then the resident began speaking and he saw more feces in the resident's mouth and teeth and the
odor of feces increased. He stated he immediately searched for a nurse finding LVN B who he felt was a
reliable nurse to share his finding. He stated LVN B observed the resident and left the room stating she was
reporting the incident to LVN A. He stated no one returned to clean the resident and lunch trays were being
passed so he put on gloves and used sanitation wipes to clean resident's hands and fingernails. He stated
while cleaning, Resident #2 told him that he had reached back into his brief, brought his hand around and
had not realized that his hands had gotten soiled with feces. He stated he disposed of the wipes in the
resident's bathroom trashcan, washed his hands, and left the resident returning to the rehab department.
He stated he informed the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) of the incident. He stated he had not had an
in-service training on infection control since being employed, and felt the facility needed to do better on their
infection control monitoring and practices. He stated he had not felt the resident had the mental cognition to
inform staff when he soiled his briefs and saw the resident a few times a week for therapy services in the
resident's room. He stated that the resident was not compliant with therapy services, and he had to
continuously motivate the resident to get him out of bed. He stated that OTA and himself assisted with
feeding residents during meals and stated that this was not the first incident where the resident was found
with feces on his hand. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 12:37 p.m. DOR stated that she had not been
made aware of Resident #2 digging in his soiled brief by PTA. She stated on

01/05/2026 the facility had an interdisciplinary team (IDT) meeting which consisted of DON, ADM, MDS,
and herself to discuss Resident #2's issue of digging in his brief. She stated that the facility had set
additional monitoring in place as an intervention for Resident #2's behavior. She stated that the resident
had not been at the facility long and she had previously observed the resident eating in the dining room
with no issues. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 02:59 p.m. Family A stated that the facility had not
informed her of any incidents relating to Resident #2 outside of a recent fall on 01/05/2026. She stated she
was not aware of any past or present abnormal behaviors with the resident other than losing his will to walk
and take care of himself. She stated that the resident had received psychiatric services in the past and saw
a psychiatric physician every 3 months for medications to treat some current diagnosis. During an interview
on 01/07/2026 at 03:35 p.m. Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated that on 01/04/2026 ADM and
DON informed her that that Resident #2 had smeared his feces, not knowing until 01/07/2026 at 03:35 p.m.
feces was in/on his mouth and beard. She stated LVN B had apparently told LVN A that the resident had
placed his hand in his mouth after digging in his brief with bowel movement. She stated when LVN B
confronted the resident about the behavior, he denied the event. She stated all she knew was LVN B made
him clean his nails and face and then MDS care planned that he had smeared feces. She stated as the
infection control preventionist (IP) she was informed and began in-service training on 01/04/2026 with the
staff on infection control to educate on redirecting the resident the best they could. She stated knowing that
occurrence makes the incident a change in condition and required his MD to be notified. She would expect
the MD would refer the resident for a psychiatry evaluation. She stated that progress notes would be
updated and reflect the behavior, and the resident's RP would be made known and asked if that was a
previously known behavior to understand if it had gone on in the past. She stated that interventions were
put in place to increase rounds to monitor resident for increased behaviors and assure his brief was
changed more frequently to avoid the behavior. She stated it would have been her expectation that staff
followed infection control procedures by reporting and documenting the incidents. She stated the risk of not
reporting placed Resident #2 and other residents at risk for illness and disease. She stated that the facility
had in-service training on infection control monthly and as needed. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at
03:45 p.m. MDS stated on 01/04/2026 she had been made aware that Resident #2 had smeared his feces
and updated his care plan to reflect that behavior on 01/04/2026. She stated she had not known that
resident had feces in and around his mouth she would have called an IDT care conference meeting with all
the department head managers to discuss the behavior and make both the physician and family aware. She
stated that Resident #2 would receive education on the importance of infection control, and the IDT will be
conducted an all-staff in-service on reporting a residents change in condition infection control. Record
review of policy titled Nursing Policies and Procedures with revised date of 06/2019 reflected: Subject:

stated he had diarrhea and asked for help. He stated he thought he was receiving medication to alleviate
the symptoms but could not remember. He stated that he had been digging in his brief on occasion he had
found feces on his hand and under his fingernails. He stated that he believed he had rubbed his face and
the soiled hands and feces got into his beard, the sides of his mouth, and maybe into his mouth. He stated
he had done it before but was unaware it happens until afterwards. He stated he felt uncomfortable in his
brief and would not be aware that he had diarrhea in his brief until after he pulled his hand out. He stated
he could not explain why he would put his hand on his face after putting his hand down his brief. He stated
he could not recall asking nursing staff for help with his behavior or whether they were aware of his
behavior. He stated someone would come and clean him up and changed his brief and sheets afterwards
the incidents. He stated he could not stand or walk or get himself to the bathroom on his own to clean

aware of any issue with Resident #2 having dug in his adult brief then having feces on his hands and mouth
and he had not shared such information with their staff. DON stated that the resident had been admitted to
the skilled hall had not come out of his room since arriving. She stated to her knowledge; the resident had
been doing well. DON stated the resident had schizoaffective and bipolar disorder, anxiety, and cerebral
infarction. DON stated had they been made aware, depending on the severity or the incident being a
one-time occurrence, it would have been care planned for other staff and his facility to be made aware of
this behavior. During an interview on 01/04/2026 at 7:05 p.m. Medication Aide (MA) stated that she was
also a certified nursing aide (CNA) and on 01/02/2026 sometime between her shift of 2:00 p.m. to 10:00
p.m. (exact time unknown) had entered Resident #2's room to pass him his medications. She stated at that
time she observed Resident #2 place his hand in his adult brief and pulled up feces and attempting to place
that soiled hand into his mouth. She stated that she immediately intervened by asking the resident What
are you doing? You are not about to eat that are you? referring to the resident placing his feces covered
hand into his mouth. She stated she immediately left the resident's room to locate his CNA, who was
assisting another resident. She stated she came back into the resident's room, washed his hands, changed
his brief, and reposited him in bed. She asked the resident again if he was going to put his hands in his
mouth, and why he would do that. She stated the resident responded by asking, What are you talking
about? She stated the resident acted confused by her questions as if the incident had not taken place. She
stated she had not documented or reported the incident to anyone because she thought his behavior had
already been reported. She stated that she should have reported the incident to his charge nurse due to
infection control, and for the resident's dignity and respect. She stated that she received an in-services
training on infection control, and on residents' dignity and respect, and reporting changes in conditions on
01/04/2026. She stated failing to report the incident placed Resident #2 and others at risk of illness and

facility for about a month from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and that she was Resident #2's nurse. She stated she
had not been made aware that Resident #2 had any behavioral episodes of the resident with his hands in
his brief pulling out feces and placing them into his mouth. She stated this had been the first she had heard.
She stated had she seen or heard of that behavior; she would have reported the behavior to the DON,
ADM and his MD as a change of condition for an order for a psychiatric evaluation. She stated the risk of

known to have feces under his fingernails, on his hands, beard, sides of his mouth, and in his mouth and
teeth. The anonymous person stated Resident #2 had feces on his hand, in his fingernails, beard, sides of
mouth and in his mouth and teeth. The anonymous person stated a male staff who was not a direct care
staff reported to LVN B a charge nurse that Resident #2 was observed with feces on his hand. The
anonymous person stated that LVN B entered the residents room observing his condition and stated, Oh,
I'm not dealing with that and walked out of the room leaving the resident in his current condition. The
anonymous person stated that the lunch trays were being passed at that time and that the male staff
washed the residents' hands and had to finally say, This is too far gone, and it's an infection control issue
and had to leave the resident to finish his tasks. The anonymous person stated that Resident #2's behavior
was recurring and had been happening for a long time where it had been reported but not documented or
addressed. The anonymous person stated that the resident was not on any type of isolation or monitoring.
During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 11:52 a.m. LVN B stated she had been a unit manager with the facility
for about 9 months. She stated that she was somewhat familiar with Resident #2 and had been called to his
room the week prior by PTA to look at the resident's fingernails. She stated it looked like the resident had
dried up chocolate under his fingernails, hands, and mouth. She stated the resident was drooling and she
saw it on his pillow. She stated she called an aide who she could not recall their name to help clean him up
the resident, change his brief, and realign him in bed, and ask if he needed to be changed again to press
the call light. She stated she asked the resident what was under his nails, and he stated he had not known
and then stated, Oh yea that is poop. She stated that she had not suspected that the substance was feces
and had she known would have reported to LVN A. She stated then LVN A would have reported the incident
to the resident's MD, RP, and for the resident to receive redirections on following infection control protocols.
She stated that the resident had to be redirected often because he would forget that he needed his brief
changed and would lay in the soiled brief calmly without notifying his care staff. She stated that she had not
notified the resident's MD of the incident as she was just pulled off the floor, called into the resident's room
to assist and assumed that information was already relayed to the MD. She stated she believed she
documented the incident in the progress notes on that data of the incident. During an interview on

3 months from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. PTA stated on 12/29/2025 during lunchtime he entered Resident #2's
room to get him up for therapy services. He stated he observed the resident lying in bed with soiled hands.
He stated that he came closer to the resident and could smell the odor of feces then immediately noticed a
brown tinge in the resident's mustache, beard and chin. He stated then the resident opened his mouth, and
he could smell the odor of feces and could additionally see it on the side of his mouth and in his teeth. He
stated he immediately informed LVN B who he felt was a good nurse to leave that information with and LVN
B then informed LVN A. He stated he wore gloves and used sanitation wipes to wash the resident's hands
and fingernails. He stated he disposed of the wipes in the trash and washed his own hands in the resident's
bathroom. He stated Resident #2 told him that he had reached back into his brief, brought his hand around
and had not realized that his hands had gotten soiled with feces. He stated that he saw the resident a few
times a week for therapy services in the room. He stated he had not felt the resident had mental cognition
to inform staff he needed his brief changed. He stated

when he returned to the rehab department, he informed the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR) of the resident
incident. He stated he had not had an in-service training on infection control since being employed, and felt
the facility needed to do better on their infection control practices and monitoring. During an interview on
01/07/2026 at 12:37 p.m. DOR stated she had worked for the facility for 2-years. She stated that DON,
ADM, MDS, ADON, and herself had an internal department team meeting on 01/05/2026 to discuss
Resident #2's issues with digging in his brief. She stated she had not been made aware of the resident's
behavior by PTA for digging in his brief. She stated that the facility had put monitoring in place as an
intervention for Resident #2's behavior. She stated that the resident had not been at the facility long and
she had previously observed the resident eating in the dining room with no issues. During an interview on
01/07/2026 at 02:59 p.m. Family A stated Resident #2 had received psychiatric services in the past, and
saw a psychiatric physician every 3 months for medications for his current diagnosis. She stated that the
facility had not informed her of any incidents of the resident outside of a recent fall on 01/05/2025. She was
not aware of any past or present abnormal behaviors with the resident other than him losing his will to walk
and take care of himself. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 03:35 p.m. Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON) stated that she was the infection control preventionist (IP) and was informed on 01/04/2026 that
Resident #2 had smeared feces, but on 01/07/2026 learned he had placed feces in his mouth and beard.
She stated LVN B had told her that Resident #2 had dug in his soiled brief and had BM on his hand. She
stated LVN B made him clean his nails and face. She stated on 01/04/2026 the staff were educated on
redirecting the resident the best they could and on that same date Resident #2's care plan was updated to
reflect that the resident smears feces. She stated knowing the resident's behavior had changed, his MD
would be contacted for a psychiatry service evaluation referral, progress notes updated reflecting the
incident, the RP contacted and asked whether they were aware of this behavior to understand if it had gone
on in the past. She stated that staff would increase rounds to monitor Resident #2 for increased behaviors
and check his brief more frequently. She stated it would have been her expectation that staff report such
incidents to herself, the DON, and the resident's nurse. She stated that resident's care plan should note the
incident. She stated the facility should ensure the resident followed the infection control protocols and
ensure Resident #2 was not at risk for illness and disease. She stated that the facility had in-service training
on infection control monthly and as needed. During an interview on 01/07/2026 at 03:45 p.m. MDS nurse
stated that she had been made aware on 01/04/2026 that Resident #2 had been smearing his feces and
she care planned that behavior that same date. She stated had she known he had feces in and around his
mouth she would have called an IDT care conference meeting with all the department head managers to
make the physician, and family aware and educate Resident #2 on the importance of infection control
preventions method. She stated that an IDT meeting will be conducted and staff in-serviced on infection
control and reporting a residents change in condition. Record review of policy titled Policies and Procedures
