F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some observed laying in the bed with bed in lowest position, call light in reach, and fall matt in place. Resident #1 was observed with bruising to left side of the face near the cheek and temple that was purple in color. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 11:37 a.m. with Resident #2, he said a man that usually sat over there (as he pointed toward the wall) dragged me on the floor. Resident #2 was not able to recall a name of a resident or staff that could be identified or if he was injured. Interview attempted on 06/04/2024 at 1:52 p.m. with LVN A. The call failed on multiple attempts. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 1:55p.m. with the Administrator, she said LVN A was out of the country and not able to accept phone calls. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 1:57p.m. with the SW, she said on 05/30/24 she completed rounds on the secure unit and Resident #2 followed her around. The SW said she asked Resident #2 how he was doing. The SW said Resident #2 said he fought with Unknown person, and he was dragged out of his room on the floor. The SW said she looked at Resident #2 and did not see any visible red spots and his knuckles were not bruised. The SW said these signs would have meant to her that Resident #2 had been in a fight and Resident #2 had a delusional episode therefore the fight did not happen. The SW said when Resident #2 further mentioned Unknown person was his supervisor, she assumed that meant he was having a delusional episode. The SW said the facility did not have a male by the name Resident #2 mentioned. The SW said Resident #2 did not show signs he had been beaten up. She said she did not report the allegation of abuse to the Abuse Coordinator (Administrator) because she was on vacation. The SW said she reported it to the DON. SW said she created a soft file. The SW said she did not investigate but created a soft file. She said the soft file would have been safe surveys conducted with residents. The SW said she did not think Resident #2 was at risk of abuse because she determined the allegations was not true based on Resident #2's history of delusional episodes. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 2:15 p.m. with the DON, she said she did not complete an investigation and did not report to the Administrator because she was on vacation. The DON said a few staff and [LVN A] were asked if they saw anything and it was determined the allegation was unfounded because he [Resident #2] mentioned his past job's supervisor. The DON said if we would have suspected abuse then we would have reported to the state. She said an allegation of abuse would have been reported the Administrator but because the resident mentioned a supervisor was the person that dragged him, she therefore determined the incident was not true. She said LVN A kept Resident #2 close to her throughout her shift and passed on the information to the next shift. She also said because it is not uncommon for him [Resident #2] to have delusions she did not think it was necessary to report this type of incident. The DON said she was not the designee, and the SW was responsible for the investigation. She said the SW would have created a soft file. She said she did not have a file and it would have consisted of the nurse's progress notes and safe surveys that the SW would have completed. She said there was no other documentation for the soft file. The DON said Resident #2 was not ask risk for abuse because she concluded the allegation of abuse was not true because of Resident #2's history of delusional episodes. Phone interview on 06/04/2024 at 2:32p.m. with Resident #2's family member, said she talked on the phone with Resident #2 on 05/30/2024 and he said a person fought with him and dragged him on the floor. She asked Resident #2 to give the phone to LVN A. She said LVN A said she would report it to the DON. She said she sent an email to the SW, DON and Administrator on 5/30/2024.

She was unsure if the injuries were to the right or left side of Resident#1's face. She said that she contacted the NP (Nurse Practitioner), DON, RP (responsibility party) and hospice nurse to inform them of the fall. She said the NP gave orders to monitor with neurological checks, and no orders to send the resident to the hospital were provided. She said that the hospice nurse gave no new orders when contacted, and the RP did not request to send resident out to the hospital. She said that she was unsure if there was a facility investigation or if the incident was reported to the SSA, it was the decision of the Administrator or DON to investigate and report, and she was not interviewed after the incident.

She said in her absence the DON should report allegations of abuse or neglect and incidents or accidents to the Regional Clinical Nurse or Regional Director of Operations, who assist DON in reporting and completing the investigation in her absence. She said that the DON contacted her about the incident involving Resident#2, and she instructed the DON start the investigation and report to the Regional Clinical Nurse or Regional Director of Operations. She said that a soft file should be started for investigations to include SBAR(Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation), Pain Assessment, Risk Management Report, written statement, safety surveys, and in services as a part of the investigation. She said that a soft file of investigations would be maintained regardless of incidents being reported to the SSA. She said that if an investigation was not completed the risk to residents is the inability to exclude that abuse or neglect occurred. She said that there should be a soft file completed for both incidents involving Resident#1 and #2, and she agreed to provide a copy. She agreed to provide a copy of policy for completing provider investigations. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 3:25pm with the DON, she said that she was familiar with resident#1, and her last fall was on 05/24/2024. She said that the fall was unwitnessed, the Resident#1 sustain an injury, and Resident#1 was not able to say how the fall took place. She said an investigation was done regarding the fall of Resident#1. She said that she interviewed the nurse (RN B), but she did not get a witness statement. She said that the nurse (RN B) completed a SBAR, progress notes, and risk management report with the details of the fall. She said that there should be a file with record of the investigation. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 4:31 p.m. with the Administrator said she contacted the Regional RN today and was told that the allegation of abuse made by Resident #2 should have been self-reported to the state and an investigation should have been completed. The Administrator said any allegation no matter if it came from a resident or family member should have been reported to the state and then investigated. The Administrator said she was on vacation when Resident #2 made the allegation. She said the resident was at risk for further abuse since there was not an investigation conducted to determine whether the allegation happened or not.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some this writer stopped to ask how the resident was doing. Resident explained that Unknown person and he were fighting last night and wanted a different job to do. He is not a fighting type of person and does not want to get involved in any of that. He wanted a different job today to keep his mind busy since he had nothing better to do anyway. This writer asked what kind of job he would like to do; it was then that this resident said that unknown person was his supervisor, and they were fighting all last night. This writer did not notice any redness, open skin or bruising on resident's face, arms or knuckles. This writer asked if he liked puzzles to keep his mind busy, resident said he would if he had to but prefers word searches to keep his mind busy. Notified Activity Director regarding word search books for this resident. Interview and observation on 06/04/2024 at 10:18am with Resident#1, revealed she was not interviewable. Resident #1 was observed lying in the bed with the bed in lowest position, call light in reach, and fall mat in place. Resident #1 was observed with bruising to the left side of the face near the cheek and temple that was purple in color. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 11:37 a.m. with Resident #2, he said A man that usually sat over there (as he pointed toward the wall) dragged me on the floor. Resident #2 was not able to recall a name of a resident or staff that could be identified or if he was injured. Interview attempted on 06/04/2024 at 1:52 p.m. with LVN A. The call failed on multiple attempts. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 1:55p.m. with the Administrator, she said LVN A was out of the country and not able to accept phone calls. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 1:57p.m. with the SW, she said on 05/30/2024 she completed rounds on the secure unit and Resident #2 followed her around. The SW said she asked Resident #2 how he was doing. The SW said Resident #2 said he fought with unknown person and he was dragged out of his room on the floor. The SW said she looked at Resident #2 and did not see any visible red spots and his knuckles were not bruised. The SW said these signs would have meant to her that Resident #2 had been in a fight and Resident #2 had a history of delusional episode therefore the fight did not happen. The SW said Resident #2 did not show signs he had been beaten up. The SW said when Resident #2 further mentioned unknown person was his supervisor, she assumed that that meant he was having a delusional episode. The SW said the facility did not have a male by the name Resident #2 mentioned. She said she did not report the allegation of abuse to the Abuse Coordinator (Administrator) because she was on vacation. SW said she reported it to the DON on the day Resident told her. SW said she created a soft file. The SW said she did not investigate but created a soft file. She said the soft file would have been safe surveys conducted with residents. The SW said she had been trained to investigate after an allegation of abuse was reported by a resident, staff or family member. The SW said again, because the resident had a history of delusional episodes and there was not a resident of staff that had the same name Resident #2 mentioned, then there was no fight or abuse. The SW said she had been trained to report allegations of abuse to the Abuse Coordinator, which was the Administrator. The SW said again, because the resident had a history of delusional episodes and there was not an employee of staff with the name unknown person, then there was no fight or abuse. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 2:15 p.m. with the DON, she said she did not complete an investigation for an allegation of alleged abuse and did not report to the Administrator because she was on vacation. The DON said a few staff and [LVN A] were asked if they saw anything and it was determined the allegation was unfounded because he [Resident #2] mentioned his past job's supervisor.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some abuse would have been reported to the Administrator but because the resident mentioned a supervisor Unknown person was the person that dragged him, she therefore determined the incident was not true. She said LVN A kept Resident #2 close to her throughout her shift and passed on the information to the next shift. She also said Because it is not uncommon for him [Resident #2] to have delusions she did not think it was necessary to report that type of incident. The DON said she would have to look at the policy for when the facility was supposed to self-report an allegation of abuse. She said if a soft file was created, the SW would have completed it. She said the soft file would have been the progress notes and the safe surveys the SW would have completed. The DON said she did not have a file for the incident. The DON said she was not the designee to report to the state while the Administrator was on vacation. She said the Regional RN would have been the person make a self-report to the state and she said she notified her. Phone interview on 06/04/2024 at 2:32p.m. with Resident #2's family member, she said she talked on the phone with Resident #2 on 05/30/2024, and Resident #2 said a person fought with him and dragged him on the floor. She asked Resident #2 to give the phone to LVN A. She said LVN A said she would report it to the DON. She said she sent an email to the SW, DON and Administrator on 5/30/2024. Phone interview on 06/04/2024 at 3:03p.m. with RN B, she said she worked 6:00pm to 6:00am on the memory care unit and she was familiar with Resident #1 who was a high fall risk. She said that she recalled Resident#1's had an unwitnessed fall on 05/24/2024 after she was observed on the floor by a CNA, and Resident#1 was not able to say how she got on the floor. She said that Resident#1 was covered in blood, observed with an open wound to the eyebrow with bruising to the eyebrow and the side of the face. She was unsure if the injuries were to the right or left side of Resident#1's face. She said that she contacted the NP (Nurse Practitioner), DON, RP (responsibility party) and hospice nurse to inform them of the fall. She said the NP gave orders to monitor with neurological checks, and no orders to send the resident to the hospital were provided. She said that the hospice nurse gave no new orders when contacted, and the RP did not request to send resident out to the hospital. She said that she was unsure if there was a facility investigation or if the incident was reported to the SSA, it was the decision of the Administrator or DON to investigate and report, and she was not interviewed after the incident. She said she had been trained to report allegations of abuse and neglect to the Abuse Coordinator, which was the Administrator. She said that she was trained to report all falls witness or unwitnessed to the DON who gives the information to the Administrator. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 3:11pm with the Administrator, she said that she started at the facility on 05/18/2023. She said that she was on leave from 05/25/2024 through 06/04/2024, but she did work half a day on 05/25/2024. She said that unwitnessed falls with injuries were reported to the SSA when a resident was unable to say how the fall occurred. She said that the incident should be reported immediately, no later than 24 hours. She said that she used the provider letter issued by SSA as guidelines for reporting, and she agreed to provide a copy of the provider letter used. She said that the risk to residents for not reporting or investigating unwitnessed falls with injuries to the SSA was that it was unknown how the resident would have sustained the injury due to no witnesses, the resident was not able to say how the injuries were sustained, and abuse or neglect could not be excluded. She reviewed the electronic medical records for Resident #1. She said that Resident #1 had an unwitnessed fall on 05/24/2024, with injuries, and Resident #1 was not able to say how the fall occurred. She said that the fall was not reported to the SSA and it was an oversite. She said that she was not at work when the incident involving Resident #2 took place, and the DON was instructed not to report the incident to the SSA by the Regional RN as there was no abuse or neglect, and the allegations were made due to mental illness.

Interview on 06/04/2024 at 4:05pm with the NP, he said that he was contacted after Resident #1 had unwitnessed fall on 05/24/2024 with a wound to the head and bleeding. He said that he gave orders to complete neurological checks, and contact hospice and family to see if they wanted to send Resident #1 to the hospital.

This writer did not notice any redness, open skin or bruising on resident's face, arms or knuckles.

Resident #1 was observed laying in the bed with bed in lowest position, call light in reach, and fall matt in place. Resident #1 was observed with bruising to left side of the face near the cheek and temple that was purple in color. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 11:37 a.m. with Resident #2, he said a man that usually sat over there (as he pointed toward the wall) dragged me on the floor. Resident #2 was not able to recall a name of a resident or staff that could be identified or if he was injured. Interview attempted on 06/04/2024 at 1:52 p.m. with LVN A. The call failed on multiple attempts. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 1:55p.m. with the Administrator, she said LVN A was out of the country and not able to accept phone calls. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 1:57p.m. with the SW, she said on 05/30/24 she completed rounds on the secure unit and Resident #2 followed her around. The SW said she asked Resident #2 how he was doing. The SW said Resident #2 said he fought with Unknown person, and he was dragged out of his room on the floor. The SW said she looked at Resident #2 and did not see any visible red spots and his knuckles were not bruised. The SW said these signs would have meant to her that Resident #2 had been in a fight and Resident #2 had a delusional episode therefore the fight did not happen. The SW said when Resident #2 further mentioned Unknown person was his supervisor, she assumed that meant he was having a delusional episode. The SW said the facility did not have a male by the name Resident #2 mentioned. The SW said Resident #2 did not show signs he had been beaten up. She said she did not report the allegation of abuse to the Abuse Coordinator (Administrator) because she was on vacation. The SW said she reported it to the DON. SW said she created a soft file. The SW said she did not investigate but created a soft file. She said the soft file would have been safe surveys conducted with residents. The SW said she did not think Resident #2 was at risk of abuse because she determined the allegations was not true based on Resident #2's history of delusional episodes. Interview on 06/04/2024 at 2:15 p.m. with the DON, she said she did not complete an investigation and did not report to the Administrator because she was on vacation. The DON said a few staff and [LVN A] were asked if they saw anything and it was determined the allegation was unfounded because he [Resident #2] mentioned his past job's supervisor. The DON said if we would have suspected abuse then we would have reported to the state. She said an allegation of abuse would have been reported the Administrator but because the resident mentioned a supervisor named [NAME] was the person that dragged him, she therefore determined the incident was not true. She said LVN A kept Resident #2 close to her throughout her shift and passed on the information to the next shift. She also said because it is not uncommon for him [Resident #2] to have delusions she did not think it was necessary to report this type of incident. The DON said she was not the designee, and the SW was responsible for the investigation. She said the SW would have created a soft file. She said she did not have a file and it would have consisted of the nurse's progress notes and safe surveys that the SW would have completed. She said there was no other documentation for the soft file. The DON said Resident #2 was not ask risk for abuse because she concluded the allegation of abuse was not true because of Resident #2's history of delusional episodes. Phone interview on 6/4/2024 at 2:32p.m. with Resident #2's family member, said she talked on the phone with Resident #2 on 5/30/2024 and he said a person fought with him and dragged him on the floor.
