**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from verbal
abuse for one of twelve residents (Resident #1) reviewed for abuse.

told to shut up and you are the one who shit on yourself by CNA C on 03/26/2024 at approximately 1:00
p.m. during incontinence care.
The noncompliance was identified as PNC that began on 03/26/2024 and ended on 04/02/2024. The facility
had corrected the noncompliance before the survey began.
This failure could place residents at risk for psychosocial harm and further abuse.

Investigation Summary .
On 3/26/24 [CNA C] was providing incontinent care to [Resident #1], a resident. Two other staff members
were present in the room: [CNA B and CNA A]. While assisting the resident he verbally complained of pain.
At that time [CNA C] allegedly stated 'shut up, you are the one who shit all over yourself. This statement
was heard by the two staff members that were in the room with [CNA C]. Administrator, DON, Physician,
Responsible Party, Corporate Office, and HHSC notified. Alleged perpetrator suspended pending
investigation. Staff inserviced regarding abuse/neglect, resident rights, safe transfers. Other residents
interviewed in an attempt to discover if similar incidents had ocurred and not been reported. No other
incidents or allegations were identified. Resident was interviewed/couseled by the social worker. Resident
initially denied hearing what [CNA C] said to him. Administrator spoke to resident and made the same
statement, that he had not heard what [CNA C] had said. Resident also told the administrator that he did
not wish to get any staff members in trouble. Resident was later interviewed by [LVN D]. During that
conversation the resident stated that he had heard [CNA C] tell him to 'shut the fuck up,' but he had not
been honest about it because he did not wish to get anyone in trouble. Based on the evidence provided this
investigator confirms the incident. Evidence suggests [CNA C] made the statements alleged.

hurting him and she told him to shut up, you are the one who shit yourself and that statement was
corroborated by other staff in the room. The ADM said we immediately suspended her pending the
investigation and terminated her with no eligibility for rehire. The ADM said the other aides in the room were
CNA B and CNA A. The ADM said CNA A and CNA B were not at the facility that day due to CNA A no

the hall and interaction appeared pleasant. CNA E said that she had worked at the facility for 13 years and
had received training on abuse recently from in-services and that verbal abuse would be anything from
talking down to a resident or cussing. She said she did not suspect any current abuse but was aware of
CNA C being let go because of a verbal abuse incident. CNA E said she has had no additional concerns
since CNA C was terminated and that she was not working when the incident occurred. CNA E said if she
ever witnessed staff cursing at a resident she would immediately report to the ADM, the abuse coordinator.
CNA E said it was important to prevent verbal abuse of residents because it could cause psychosocial

said she asked Resident #1 about the incident with CNA C and he was reluctant to provide any information,
but informed him on his safety. The ADON said Resident #1 never told her what CNA C said to him and the
DON called her that day with him on the phone so he would feel comortable talking to the ADON since they
have a good relationship. The ADON said Resident #2 was his roommate and she asked if he had heard
anything and he said no. The ADON said Resident #1 was doing good and has exhibited no signs of
psychosocial harm from the incident. The ADON said staff had received training on abuse via in-services

During an interview on 04/24/24 at 2:48 PM via phone, CNA C said she and CNA B went to get Resident
#1 cleaned up. CNA C said they got him in the bed with the hoyer and he freaks out sometimes because he
has arthirits in his back. CNA C said CNA A was coming in the room and when CNA B rolled him over she
said it [feces] is up your back we are going to have to take your shirt off and when we sat him up. CNA C
said she told Resident #1 to hush, stop, look at me, when we pull it over the top of your head, if you jerk
back like that you are going to get poop on your face. CNA C said Resident #1 undesrstood what we were
doing and they got him cleaned up and that was it. CNA C said she did not tell him to shut up because she
does not talk like that. CNA C said she told him to hush and to look at me. CNA C said she probably did say
shit but never told him to shut the fuck up and that the charge nurse said CNA A told her six different
stories. CNA C said one story was she said shut up and then it was shut the fuck up and I wanted to ask
them questions because if it that was serious why didn't the other aides stop me at the time because the
resident's safety was first and they just stood there. CNA C said the facility did not provide training on
abuse, but they had in-services on paper at the front and told you to sign them. CNA C said she honestly
did not have time to read them when she had 22 residents to take care and was not going to remember
what that paper said. CNA C said verbal abuse would be considered belittling and cursing at residents and
that it could affect resdidents mentally if they have depression and make them withdrawal. CNA C said she
did not curse near any other residents and could not remember if his roommate was in the room at the time
of the incident.
During an interview on 04/24/2024 at 3:23 p.m., the ADM said verbal abuse was confirmed with Resident
#1 and that the resident was truthfully reluctant to provide information that he had overheard what the aide
said because he did not wish to get anyone in trouble. The ADM said that Resident #1 was doing fine and
has had no negative psychosocial outcomes and that it was important to protect residents from verbal
abuse to prevent resident from becoming with more withdrawn and the resident experieincing verbal abuse
could experience psychosocial harm. The ADM said to ensure residents are safe from abuse he has
provided training, reported to HHSC, and appropriate entities listed in policy, safe surveys were conducted,
the incident was QAPI'd (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement), and alleged perpetrator was
terminated. The ADM said there was no concern with her background or licensure check. The ADM said
that he did feel this incident caused reason for referral of CNA C. The ADM said that the Social Worker was
at the facility and had assessed Reisdent #1's mood and behavior following the incident.
During an interview on 04/24/2024 at 3:29 p.m., the Social Worker said she had been employed since
October of 2023 and did not suspect abuse. The Social Worker said she had safe surveys to ensure
residents are safe and that it was important for residents to be free from verbal abuse to prevent psychocial
harm. The Social Worker said Resident #1 was doing good and has not had any complaints with him as far
as his care provided. The Social Worker siad there was an incident with CNA C changing him and he never
admitted it to me that he heard her say something and could not make out what she said. The Social
Worker said Resident #1 has had no mood changes and has been more active in activities.
During an observation on 04/24/2024 at 3:45 p.m., Resident #1 was lying in bed with his head covered. He
did not respond to greeting or questions and exhibited no signs of distress. There was no other resident in
his room.
During an interview on 04/25/2024 at 11:17 a.m., Resident #1's RP said they were notified of the verbal
abuse incident on 3/26/2024 and that the resident had socially improved since the incident and was
attending more activities than previously. RP said they had no concerns and that they felt the CNA that told

revealed he had no physical or verbal behavioral symptoms or decrease in mood or social isolation, had
impairment to both upper and lower extremities, and required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting
hygiene.
Review of Resident #1's care plan, revised 04/01/2024, revealed he had an anti-anxiety and antidepressant

initiated on 3/26/2024 to include the following interventions: monitor behaviors every shift, offer
non-pharmacological interventions, and administer medication as ordered, Monitor closely for worsening of

complained of pain. At that time [CNA C] allegedly stated 'shut up, you are the one who shit all over
yourself. This statement was heard by the two staff members that were in the room with [CNA C].
Administrator, DON, Physician, Responsible Party, Corporate Office, and HHSC notified. Alleged
perpetrator suspended pending investigation. Staff inserviced regarding abuse/neglect, resident rights, safe
transfers. Other residents interviewed in an attempt to discover if similar incidents had ocurred and not
been reported. No other incidents or allegations were identified. Resident was interviewed/couseled by the
social worker. Resident initially denied hearing what [CNA C] said to him. Administrator spoke to resident
and made the same statement, that he had not heard what [CNA C] had said. Resident also told the
administrator that he did not wish to get any staff members in trouble. Resident was later interviewed by
[LVN D]. During that conversation the resident stated that he had heard [CNA C] tell him to 'shut the fuck
up,' but he had not been honest about it because he did not wish to get anyone in trouble. Based on the
evidence provided this investigator confirms the incident. Evidence suggests [CNA C] made the statements
alleged.
Investigation Findings: Confirmed

During an interview with the ADM and DON on 04/24/2024 at 11:00 a.m., the ADM said that he was the
abuse coordinator and was aware of the self reported incident of verbal abuse related to Resident #1. The
ADM said there were multiple staff members in the room providing incontinent care and one of those aides
was CNA C. The ADM said during that time, they were turning Resident #1 and he voiced that CNA C was
hurting him and she told him to shut up, you are the one who shit yourself and that statement was
corroborated by other staff in the room. The ADM said we immediately suspended her pending the
investigation and terminated her with no eligibility for rehire. The ADM said the other aides in the room were
CNA B and CNA A. The ADM said CNA A and CNA B were not at the facility that day due to CNA A no
longer employed by the facility and CNA B works the night shift. The ADM said Resident #1 was doing good
and has had no psychocial harm apparent from the incident. The ADM and DON said they were ensuring
residents were free from abuse by reporting, conducting safe surveys, increased monitoring, and
in-services with staff. The ADM and DON said it was important to protect residents from verbal abuse to
prevent psychosocial harm.

same day. The ADON said she was out that day when Resident #1 had his incident with the aides and that
she has a good relationship with Resident #1 and he will ask for her personally over any issues. The ADON
said she asked Resident #1 about the incident with CNA C and he was reluctant to provide any information,
but informed him on his safety. The ADON said Resident #1 never told her what CNA C said to him and the
DON called her that day with him on the phone so he would feel comortable talking to the ADON since they
have a good relationship. The ADON said Resident #2 was his roommate and she asked if he had heard
anything and he said no. The ADON said Resident #1 was doing good and has exhibited no signs of
psychosocial harm from the incident. The ADON said staff had received training on abuse via in-services
and that they did a skills fair recently addressing abuse in March 2024 consisting of a two day event with
hands on scenarios and they get the residents involved. The ADON said she felt the incident with CNA C
was isolated and that the facility handled the situation appropriately with her termination and felt residents

at me. CNA C said she probably did say shit but never told him to shut the fuck up and that the charge
nurse said CNA A told her six different stories. CNA C said one story was she said shut up and then it was
shut the fuck up and I wanted to ask them questions because if it that was serious why didn't the other
aides stop me at the time because the resident's safety was first and they just stood there. CNA C said the
facility did not provide training on abuse, but they had in-services on paper at the front and told you to sign
them. CNA C said she honestly did not have time to read them when she had 22 residents to take care and
was not going to remember what that paper said. CNA C said verbal abuse would be considered belittling
and cursing at residents and that it could affect resdidents mentally if they have depression and make them
withdrawal. CNA C said she did not curse near any other residents and could not remember if his
roommate was in the room at the time of the incident.
During an interview on 04/24/2024 at 3:23 p.m., the ADM said verbal abuse was confirmed with Resident
#1 and that the resident was truthfully reluctant to provide information that he had overheard what the aide
said because he did not wish to get anyone in trouble. The ADM said that Resident #1 was doing fine and
has had no negative psychosocial outcomes and that it was important to protect residents from verbal
abuse to prevent resident from becoming with more withdrawn and the resident experieincing verbal abuse
could experience psychosocial harm. The ADM said to ensure residents are safe from abuse he has
provided training, reported to HHSC, and appropriate entities listed in policy, safe surveys were conducted,
the incident was QAPI'd (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement), and alleged perpetrator was
terminated. The ADM said there was no concern with her background or licensure check. The ADM said
that he did feel this incident caused reason for referral of CNA C. The ADM said that the Social Worker was
at the facility and had assessed Reisdent #1's mood and behavior following the incident.
During an interview on 04/24/2024 at 3:29 p.m., the Social Worker said she had been employed since
October of 2023 and did not suspect abuse. The Social Worker said she had safe surveys to ensure
residents are safe and that it was important for residents to be free from verbal abuse to prevent psychocial
harm. The Social Worker said Resident #1 was doing good and has not had any complaints with him as far
as his care provided. The Social Worker siad there was an incident with CNA C changing him and he never
admitted it to me that he heard her say something and could not make out what she said. The Social
Worker said Resident #1 has had no mood changes and has been more active in activities.
During an observation on 04/24/2024 at 3:45 p.m., Resident #1 was lying in bed with his head covered. He
did not respond to greeting or questions and exhibited no signs of distress. There was no other resident in
his room.
During an interview on 04/25/2024 at 11:17 a.m., Resident #1's RP said they were notified of the verbal
abuse incident on 3/26/2024 and that the resident had socially improved since the incident and was
attending more activities than previously. RP said they had no concerns and that they felt the CNA that told
the resident to 'shut up' should not have been fired because the resident can be very difficult and rude to
nursing staff and that they believe she should be rehired. RP said they had no concerns with the care and
services provided by the facility or staff related to abuse. RP said it has been over a month since she had
visited the resident because she was diagnosed with cancer and also because of his rude behavior when
RP did visit.
