Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect a resident's right to be free from
abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #1)
reviewed for abuse, in that:
The facility failed in that they used physical and chemical restraints on Resident #1 when he began exibiting
aggressive and exit seeking behaviors. Resident #1's behaviors included; hitting, scratching, pulling,
pushing, kicking and grabbing clothes.
These failures resulted in an IJ on 8/31/23 at 6:01 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 9/1/23 at 8:19 p.m.,
the facility remained out of compliance at a level of no actual harm with the potential for more than minimal
harm that is not immediate jeopardy with a scope of pattern.
This deficient practice placed residents at risk of psychosocial harm, feeling disrespected or uncomfortable,
decreased self-esteem, impaired quality of life and abuse.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 8/26/23 revealed a [AGE] year old male admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included schizophrenia (a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly), delusional disorders (a mental health condition in
which a person can't tell what's real from what's imagined), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily
activities), dementia without behavioral disturbance and impulse disorder (characterized by urges and
behaviors that are excessive and/or harmful to oneself or others).
Record review of Resident #1's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 8/2/23 revealed the resident
was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, edit date 8/23/23 listed the problem Mood State

-Allow resident to have control over situations, if possible
-Assign consistent staff member
-Do not confront, argue against, or deny resident's thoughts

During an interview on 8/28/23 at 7:22 p.m., LVN D revealed Resident #1 resided in the male secure unit
and had gotten out multiple times. LVN D revealed approximately one month ago, June 2023, Resident #1
barged outside of the secure unit. LVN D revealed Resident #1 was held back by multiple staff members
after the resident pushed the MDS Coordinator. LVN D stated, staff tried to hold [Resident #1] under the
arms as he was swinging. LVN D revealed, Resident #1 was eventually held down in a chair and the ADON
gave the resident a Haldol injection. LVN D stated, I feel bad they had to tranquilize [Resident #1] to get him
to calm down. LVN D stated, the [ADON], the [DON] and the [Administrator] were all here in the facility
when this incident (with the MDS Coordinator) occurred, and they were aware [Resident #1] was held
down. LVN D stated, I do not feel like anyone here is trained to deal with [Resident #1's] behaviors. LVN D
stated, Agency LVN E, who no longer worked for the facility, used to work in a psychiatric facility and told
other staff how to hold Resident #1 in a seated position.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 7:23 p.m., Nurse Aide F revealed he was assigned one to one to
Resident #1 on 8/27/23. Nurse Aide F revealed, Resident #1 became agitated on 8/27/23 after Nurse Aide
G asked the resident if he was okay and the resident started kicking the air and moving his hands rapidly.
Nurse Aide F stated, Resident #1 moved towards the door leading to the front with Nurse Aide G and
himself following and Resident #1 pushed open the door from the locked unit and moved toward the inner
facility. Nurse Aide F stated, Nurse Aide H came to assist as Resident #1 grabbed Nurse Aide F's shirt from
the front. Nurse Aide F stated, they both [Nurse Aide G and Nurse Aide H] took [Resident #1] by an arm
and held him back and we got him to the ground so the nurses could apply the ABH cream on him. Nurse
Aide F stated, [Resident #1] wasn't able to get up. Nurse Aide F stated, I don't think [Resident #1] is
appropriate for this facility, he needs to be somewhere where staff are trained for that. I am not trained to
deal with that on a regular basis. Nurse Aide F stated, We have been instructed to keep [Resident #1] in the
unit but didn't really get any instruction on how to keep him in the unit.
During an interview on 8/29/23 at 8:59 a.m., the Assistant BOM revealed, an incident occurred on 8/27/23
at approximately 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m., before preparing to leave her office. The Assistant BOM stated,
Resident #1 was observed heading in the direction past the nurse's station toward the front door. The
Assistant BOM stated, her office was close to the facility front door and observed Resident #1 followed by
Nurse Aide F, Nurse Aide G and Nurse Aide H. The Assistant BOM stated, LVN A had her gloves on ready
to apply the ABH gel when Resident #1 hit Nurse Aide F on the upper chest, then grabbed Nurse Aide F's
shirt and started to shake him. The Assistant BOM stated, at that point [Nurse Aide G[ and [Nurse Aide H]
come in and they are right by my office door wall and in the meantime, I am trying to call the
[Administrator]. At this point, the guys are trying to hold [Resident #1] and they are holding his arms, like
under his elbows and [Nurse Aide F] is still trying to get loose. Everybody goes down, they fall down, and
[Resident #1] starts to kick. The Assistant BOM revealed, LVN A then applied the ABH gel to Resident #1's
hands. The Assistant BOM stated, it had been discussed during in-services that staff were not to touch
Resident #1 because it would escalate his anxiety and aggression.
During a telephone interview on 8/29/23 at 3:02 p.m., Agency LVN E revealed she had worked at the facility
through a contracted agency but discontinued her contract after 30 days. Agency LVN E revealed, Resident
#1 had behaviors that were sometimes avoidable but sometimes not. Agency LVN E revealed an incident
occurred in June 2023 in which Resident #1 pushed the MDS Coordinator and had also made contact with
the Activity Director. Agency LVN E stated, everyone swarms, [Resident #1] seems like he is going towards
everybody and there is a lot of yelling, I step back because less is more. Agency LVN E further stated,
[Resident #1] had a hold of the [Activity Director] and is not letting go.

[Resident #1] was restrained, because that is what it was called. But [Resident #1] could still move. Agency
LVN E revealed, the physical restraint used on Resident #1 was called bear paws so as not to cause
bruising while being restrained. Agency LVN E stated, she and CNA I restrained Resident #1 and once we
got him to the ground, he [Resident #1] starts to relax. Agency LVN E stated, the restraint to Resident #1
lasted a total time of 15 to 20 minutes until the police arrived. Agency LVN E revealed, the facility had not
provided training on anything related to the incident, nothing on dementia, nothing on aggression, nothing
on behaviors. Agency LVN E stated she did not know who the Abuse Coordinator was and approximately a
month ago was given a paper to sign on an in-service on abuse and neglect. Agency LVN E stated, I do not
think we are supposed to touch them (residents) but there was no way of getting around it.
During an interview on 8/29/23 at 5:47 p.m., the DON stated, Resident #1 could not be stopped from
having behaviors and just to keep him safe. The DON revealed staff could not lay hands on Resident #1
and to make sure all the residents were safe. The DON stated, our policy is to follow [Resident #1], keep
him safe and call police to help us get him back into the building safely.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 2:38 p.m., Nurse Aide G revealed an incident occurred on 8/27/23 at
approximately 7:00 p.m., after the residents had eaten. Nurse Aide G stated Nurse Aide F had been
assigned Resident #1's one to one staff when Resident #1 got out of the secure unit with Nurse Aide F
following. Nurse Aide G stated, Resident #1 grabbed Nurse Aide F's shirt and Nurse Aide G came behind
[Resident #1] and put my arms around his upper shoulder as if to grab him and [Resident #1] took his arm
and swung it back and that's how we fell on the floor. Nurse Aide G stated, he, Resident #1, Nurse Aide F
and Nurse Aide H fell together on the floor with the force of Resident #1 trying to swing at them and
Resident #1 still holding onto Nurse Aide F's shirt. Nurse Aide G stated, I have never seen any staff hold
him [Resident #1], we try to talk to him and calm him down. Nurse Aide G revealed he did not consider the
incident on 8/27/23 resulted in Resident #1 being restrained.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 3:29 p.m., the Administrator revealed, the Assistant BOM contacted him
by phone on 8/27/23 at approximately 7:20 p.m. regarding the incident in which Resident #1 came out of
the secure unit and was followed by Nurse Aide F, Nurse Aide G and Nurse Aide H. The Administrator
stated, the Assistant BOM was giving the Administrator a narrative while it was going on. The Administrator
stated, basically, [Resident #1] rushed [Nurse Aide F] and grabbed him, and two other aides pulled the
resident off of [Nurse Aide F]. The Administrator stated, [Nurse Aide F] was standing in front of [Resident
#1] because another resident was in [Resident #1's] path. The Administrator further stated, the other two
aides grabbed [Resident #1] by the arms and pulled him back while [Resident #1] was holding onto [Nurse
Aide F's] shirt, and they all fell down. The Administrator stated, [Nurse Aide F] held one of[ Resident #1's]
legs because he was kicking him, just didn't want him to hurt anybody and then the nurse put the cream on
him and then [Resident #1] got up by himself and went for a walk with them. [Resident #1] was not
restrained. The Administrator stated, I have never been informed [Resident #1] had ever been restrained.
The Administrator revealed he recalled the incident in which Resident #1 pushed the MDS Coordinator. The
Administrator stated, [Resident #1] pushed the [MDS Coordinator] and the staff, don't recall who it was,
held [Resident #1] down. I think it was one (staff) on each side of him, to calm him down. The Administrator
stated, again [Resident #1] was not hurt. The Administrator stated, the incident with the [MDS Coordinator],
we didn't know what to do and [Resident #1] was held down to keep him from hurting other people, I'm
sure. The Administrator revealed, the staff at the facility were not trained to deal with that kind of behavior.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 4:11 p.m., the MDS Coordinator revealed he recalled the incident in
which Resident #1 pushed him. The MDS Coordinator revealed, staff were guiding

recall who, had their arms under the resident's upper arms and they backed up until they backed up against
the wall and slid down the wall still holding the resident by the arms and talking to him and then the police
showed up. The MDS Coordinator revealed, there was one nurse, Agency LVN E who stated she was

in these situations.

During a telephone interview on 8/28/23 at 10:30 a.m., the Medical Director stated, We don't think the
resident [Resident #1] is appropriate for this facility. He has proved he is not appropriate for this facility. The
Medical Director further stated, [Psychiatric NP B] is perfectly capable of making medication adjustments
and they are supervised by a licensed psychiatrist. No reason why this should not have been handled. The
Medical Director further stated, I have recommended the facility to either contact [Psychiatric NP B] or give
Haldol IM as needed.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 12:14 p.m., the ADON revealed, Resident #1 had been seen by
Psychiatric NP B and stated, but I don't believe she made any real medication changes other than PRN
Haldol.

was surrounded by 3 male aides and Resident #1 was getting really mad at one of the male aides, Nurse
Aide F. LVN A revealed, the next thing she knew, Resident #1 was by the front door sitting on the ground,
one male aide holding him by one arm facing forward and the other aide holding the resident by the other
arm and the third aide, Nurse Aide F holding down the resident's legs. LVN A stated she told the Aides to
let Resident #1 go and then LVN A applied the ABH gel to Resident #1. LVN A stated, we are a restraint
free facility, no we should not have been restraining [Resident #1]. LVN A revealed she told Nurse Aide F he
could not do that, restrain Resident #1 to which Nurse Aide F replied, am I in trouble now? LVN A stated,
what I did see is [Nurse Aide F] and the other two male aides restrain [Resident #1].
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 7:22 p.m., LVN D revealed Resident #1 resided in the male secure unit
and had gotten out multiple times. LVN D revealed approximately one month ago, June 2023, Resident #1

arms as he was swinging. LVN D revealed, Resident #1 was eventually held down in a chair and the ADON
gave the resident a Haldol injection. LVN D stated, I feel bad they had to tranquilize him to get him to calm
down. LVN D stated, the [ADON], the [DON] and the [Administrator] were all here in the facility when this
incident with [MDS Coordinator] occurred, and they were aware [Resident #1] was held down. LVN D
stated, I do not feel like anyone here is trained to deal with [Resident #1's] behaviors. LVN D stated, Agency
LVN E, who no longer worked for the facility, used to work in a psychiatric facility and had told other staff
how to hold Resident #1 in a seated position.

think [Resident #1] is appropriate for this facility, he needs to be somewhere where staff are trained for that.
I am not trained to deal with that on a regular basis. Nurse Aide F stated, We have been instructed to keep
[Resident #1] in the unit but didn't really get any instruction on how to keep him in the unit.
During an interview on 8/29/23 at 8:59 a.m., the Assistant BOM revealed, an incident occurred on 8/27/23
at approximately 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m., before preparing to leave her office. The Assistant BOM stated,
Resident #1 was observed heading in the direction past the nurse's station toward the front door. The
Assistant BOM stated, her office was close to the facility front door and observed Resident #1 followed by
Nurse Aide F, Nurse Aide G and Nurse Aide H. The Assistant BOM stated, LVN A had her gloves on ready
to apply the ABH gel when Resident #1 hit Nurse Aide F on the upper chest, then grabbed Nurse Aide F's
shirt and started to shake him. The Assistant BOM stated, at that point [Nurse Aide G] and [Nurse Aide H]
come in and they are right by my office door wall and in the meantime, I am trying to call the
[Administrator]. At this point, the guys are trying to hold [Resident #1] and they are holding his arms, like
under his elbows and [Nurse Aide F] is still trying to get loose. Everybody goes down, they fall down, and
[Resident #1] starts to kick. The Assistant BOM revealed, LVN A then applied the ABH gel to Resident #1's
hands. The Assistant BOM stated, it had been discussed during in-services that staff were not to touch
Resident #1 because it would escalate his anxiety and aggression.
During a telephone interview on 8/29/23 at 3:02 p.m., Agency LVN E revealed she had worked at the facility
through a contracted agency but discontinued her contract after 30 days. Agency LVN E revealed, Resident
#1 had behaviors that were sometimes avoidable but sometimes not. Agency LVN E revealed an incident
occurred in June 2023 in which Resident #1 pushed the MDS Coordinator and had also made contact with
the Activity Director. Agency LVN E stated, everyone swarms, [Resident #1] seems like he is going towards
everybody and there is a lot of yelling, I step back because less is more. Agency LVN E further stated,
[Resident #1] had a hold of the [Activity Director] and is not letting go. [Resident #1] was restrained,
because that is what it was called. But [Resident #1] could still move. Agency LVN E revealed, the physical
restraint used on Resident #1 was called bear paws so as not to cause bruising while being restrained.
Agency LVN E stated, she and CNA I restrained Resident #1 and once we got him to the ground, [Resident
#1] starts to relax. Agency LVN E stated, the restraint to Resident #1 lasted a total time of 15 to 20 minutes
until the police arrived. Agency LVN E revealed, the facility had not provided training on anything related to
the incident, nothing on dementia, nothing on aggression, nothing on behaviors. Agency LVN E stated she
did not know who the Abuse Coordinator was and approximately a month ago was given a paper to sign on

how we fell on the floor. Nurse Aide G stated, he, Resident #1, Nurse Aide F and Nurse Aide H fell together
on the floor with the force of Resident #1 trying to swing at them and Resident #1 still holding onto Nurse
Aide F's shirt. Nurse Aide G stated, I have never seen any staff hold [Resident #1], we try to talk to him and
calm him down. Nurse Aide G revealed he did not consider the incident on 8/27/23 resulted in Resident #1
being restrained.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 3:29 p.m., the Administrator revealed, the Assistant BOM contacted him
by phone on 8/27/23 at approximately 7:20 p.m. regarding the incident in which Resident #1 came out of
the secure unit and was followed by Nurse Aide F, Nurse Aide G and Nurse Aide H. The Administrator
stated, the Assistant BOM was giving the Administrator a narrative while it was going on. The Administrator
stated, basically, [Resident #1] rushed [Nurse Aide F] and grabbed him, and two other aides pulled the
resident off of [Nurse Aide F.] The Administrator stated, [Nurse Aide F] was standing in front of [Resident
#1] because another resident was in [Resident #1's] path. The Administrator further stated, the other two
aides grabbed [Resident #1] by the arms and pulled him back while [Resident #1] was holding onto [Nurse
Aide F's] shirt, and they all fell down. The Administrator stated, [Nurse Aide F] held one of [Resident #1's]
legs because he was kicking him, just didn't want him to hurt anybody and then the nurse put the cream on
him and then [Resident #1] got up by himself and went for a walk with them. [Resident #1] was not
restrained. The Administrator stated, I have never been informed [Resident #1] had ever been restrained.
The Administrator revealed he recalled the incident in which Resident #1 pushed the MDS Coordinator. The
Administrator stated, [Resident #1] pushed the [MDS Coordinator] and the staff, don't recall who it was,
held [Resident #1] down. I think it was one (staff) on each side of him, to calm him down. The Administrator
stated, again [Resident #1] was not hurt. The Administrator stated, the incident with the [MDS Coordinator],
we didn't know what to do and [Resident #1] was held down to keep him from hurting other people, I'm
sure. The Administrator revealed, the staff at the facility were not trained to deal with that kind of behavior.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 4:11 p.m., the MDS Coordinator revealed he recalled the incident in
which Resident #1 pushed him. The MDS Coordinator revealed, staff were guiding Resident #1 to sit in a
wheelchair, holding the resident's arms and the resident was resistive and combative. The MDS
Coordinator stated, Resident #1 got up from the wheelchair and two staff, could not recall who, had their
arms under the resident's upper arms and they backed up until they backed up against the wall and slid
down the wall still holding [Resident #1] by the arms and talking to him and then the police showed up. The
MDS Coordinator revealed, there was one nurse, Agency LVN E who stated she was trained for this
(restraints). The MDS LVN stated, they were restraining [Resident #1], I would think, but it was a reasonable
intervention because it was a very erratic behavior. [Resident #1] was kind of out of control.
During a follow up interview on 8/31/23 at 8:22 a.m., the DON revealed, the facility did not do behavioral
health training of staff and staff were only instructed to remove them (residents) and calm the situation. The
DON stated, most of our residents don't have violent behaviors. [Resident #1] seemed to be the one factor
in these situations.
During an interview on 8/31/23 at 1:18 p.m., CNA I stated, he had not heard or seen residents being
restrained. CNA I revealed, residents, including Resident #1, could not be restrained, and staff should not
provoke or argue with the residents, leave them be and keep residents safe. CNA I denied ever having
restrained Resident #1.

During an interview on 8/28/23 at 12:42 p.m., the Administrator revealed he had reported an incident to
HHSC related to resident-to-resident altercation between Resident #1 attacking both Resident #6 and
Resident #7. The Administrator revealed the incident occurred on 6/5/23. The Administrator stated Resident
#1 had not had altercations with any other residents since 6/5/23.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 12:51 p.m., RN Z revealed, there was a resident-to-resident altercation
between Resident #1 and Resident #5 on 8/2/23. RN Z revealed, Resident #1 was angry because he
believed Resident #5 wanted to fight him and once Resident #1 went toward Resident #5, Resident #5 tried
to defend himself. RN Z stated, [Resident #1] had [Resident #5] by the shirt, and I think that is how
[Resident #5] got the scratches. RN Z revealed she completed the incident report for both Resident #1 and
Resident #5 and notified the family.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 1:22 p.m., LVN S revealed, on 8/26/23 at approximately 5:45 p.m. or 6:15
p.m., while residents were eating, I saw [Resident #1] grab [Resident #5] and was pinning him against the
wall. LVN S stated, I saw redness on [Resident #5's] neck and assumed [Resident #1] grabbed him by the
neck but didn't actually see it. LVN S revealed, [CNA X] also witnessed the event. [Resident #5] pointed to
his elbow and pointed at [Resident #1] several times. LVN S stated, I did see [Resident #1] pin [Resident
#5] against the wall. LVN S stated, I reported it to the [ADON], I don't remember what the [ADON] told me, I
think just to document it.
During a follow up interview on 8/28/23 at 2:53 p.m., the Administrator stated, my understanding on
self-reports was if the resident-to-resident altercation was resolved because the resident could not
remember what happened, then it would not be reportable. Even if the staff witnessed it. The Administrator
further reiterated, again, [Resident #5] after 24 hours was not psychologically harmed because he could
not remember the incident and since there was no injury it would not be reportable. The Administrator
revealed he had not witnessed the resident-to-resident altercation between Resident #1 and Resident #5,
only that he had been told about it and went into the unit after it occurred.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 1:06 p.m., CNA X revealed he recalled the resident-to-resident incident
between Resident #1 and Resident #5. CNA X stated, [Resident #1] got upset and grabbed [Resident #5]
from the shirt and pulled him down to the ground. CNA X stated, a female nurse, could not recall who,
came into the unit and calmed Resident #1 down. CNA X stated, Resident #5 got a little scratch.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered
care plan for each resident, consistent with resident rights, that included measurable objectives and time
frames to meet a resident's mental, nursing, and psychosocial needs that were identified in the
comprehensive assessment, for 1 of 4 Residents (Resident #1) reviewed for care plans, in that:
The facility failed to fully develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan that was specific for Resident
#1 to address the resident's aggression and elopements.
This failure could place residents at risk for not getting their medical, physical, and psychosocial needs met
and not being provided with the necessary care or services and having personalized plans developed to
address their specific needs.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 8/26/23 revealed a [AGE] year old male admitted to the
facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included schizophrenia (a disorder that
affects a person's ability to think, feel and behave clearly), delusional disorders (a mental health condition in
which a person can't tell what's real from what's imagined), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily
activities), dementia without behavioral disturbance and impulse disorder (characterized by urges and
behaviors that are excessive and/or harmful to oneself or others).
Record review of Resident #1's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 8/2/23 revealed the resident
was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills and required set up only for bed mobility
and transfers. Further review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, under Section E Behavior
revealed the resident had exhibited physical behavioral symptoms directed toward others.
Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, edit date 8/23/23 listed the problem Mood State
which included the following approaches:
-Allow resident to have control over situations, if possible
-Assign consistent staff member
-Assist resident in identifying the effects of his/her behaviors on others
-Begin short, concise interaction with resident; increase as suspicion decreases
-Clarify meanings with resident
-Do not confront, argue against, or deny resident's thoughts
-Encourage resident to implement new coping mechanisms. Give honest feedback to resident.

following day, unless the event occurred on the weekend then it would be revised the following Monday. The
MDS Coordinator stated, interventions associated with the care plan was a team effort. The MDS
Coordinator stated, the floor staff have access to the care plans. The MDS Coordinator revealed, Resident
#1 was anxious all the time and needed a lot of interaction and enjoyed going out to the courtyard, getting
snacks, dancing, and liked to listen to music from certain artists. The MDS Coordinator stated, [Resident
#1] liked to dance and listen to a particular singer/musician, and it should have been included in the care
plan, but sometimes I see that doesn't even work. The staff should at least try. The MDS Coordinator stated,
It's hard to get things done when you are always being interrupted. I believe the information in the care plan
is enough to help care for [Resident #1], but I do agree those things about [Resident #1] liking to dance and
listen to a particular singer/musician should have been included in the care plan.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 7:23 p.m., Nurse Aide F revealed he was capable of viewing Resident
#1's care plan on the computer tablet but had not actually read Resident #1's care plan. Nurse Aide F
stated, the only one who told me [Resident #1] preferred music and a particular singer/musician was [LVN
C]. Nurse Aide F stated any new events were communicated to him by the floor nurses such as if a resident
displayed erratic behavior. Nurse Aide F revealed he had been instructed to keep Resident #1 in the unit
but was not given any instruction on how to keep the resident in the unit, only to follow the resident if he
wanted to leave.
During an interview on 8/29/23 at 8:59 a.m., the Assistant BOM revealed she was familiar with Resident #1
for having behaviors and aggression. The Assistant BOM stated, when [Resident #1] had a behavior or a
moment, he likes to sing, and when he wants to go outside, he wants to hear a particular singer/musician
and he likes football. It's a deterrent from him acting out. The Assistant BOM revealed she had attended
in-services but had not looked at the comprehensive care plan. The Assistant BOM stated, it had been
discussed during in-services that we were not to touch [Resident #1] because it would escalate his anxiety
and aggression. [Resident #1] will calm easier with females rather than males.
During an interview on 8/29/23 at 12:30 p.m., the ADON revealed, Resident #1 did not have behaviors the
first month and a half the resident was in the facility, only slightly agitated but music played from a particular
singer/musician calmed the resident. The ADON stated, but then [Resident #1's] behavior slowly started to
be more frequent and more escalated and there's no rhyme or reason. [Resident #1's] behavior was so
erratic. The ADON revealed, the MDS Coordinator took care of the care plans and floor staff were able to
pull up care plans on their computer tablets, including the Nurse Aides. The ADON stated she would talk to
the MDS Coordinator about adding interventions and if something needed to be added to the care plan and
stated, the [DON] doesn't do it, that I'm aware of. The ADON revealed, the care plan was important, and
diversions (for managing behaviors) should have been added to Resident #1's care plan. The ADON stated,
the care plan gives you a picture of the resident and probably adding those likes and dislikes should have
been care planned.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 9:42 a.m., CNA O revealed she had been employed by the facility for 2
years. CNA O stated, I don't know what a care plan is. Is it like what is the care of each resident? I don't
know where to find it. I have heard from other staff [Resident #1] likes doughnuts, likes listening to a
particular singer/musician because the resident is always saying how much he likes it.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 1:06 p.m., CNA X revealed the comprehensive care plan could be found
on the computer tablet but relied on the other CNA's and nurse aides for report during shift

change. CNA X stated, I haven't seen a care plan, I guess it's in the computer tablet. CNA X revealed an
incident occurred the first week of August 2023, when Resident #1 grabbed Resident #5 by the shirt and
pulled him down to the ground. CNA X revealed, a female nurse came into the unit and calmed Resident
#1.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 1:24 p.m., Nurse Aide AA revealed she had been employed by the facility
for 2 years. Nurse Aide AA stated, [Resident #1] gets randomly angry, and you can tell by his facial
expressions, starts stomping his feet, runs towards the wall and bumps it against his shoulder. A way to
calm him down is playing music, old-school songs, a particular singer/musician, take him for a walk. Nurse
Aide AA revealed, Resident #1 had different types of triggers and by now everybody should know how to
calm him down. Nurse Aide AA stated, the computer tablet tell you about residents, like chart for bowel
movements if they've had one or not. Nothing in there if somebody had a behavior or what to do. I've heard
of a care plan. It's been a while, kinda don't really know.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 2:38 p.m., Nurse Aide G stated, [Resident #1] had days when he was out
of control. Don't know what goes on in his mind. When it looks like he will have a behavior, we are there but
keep our distance and try to move the residents out of the way. Nurse Aide G revealed he had not seen a
feature on the computer tablet specific to care plans and did not know what a care plan was. Nurse Aide G
revealed, Resident #1 enjoyed eating ice cream, listening to music, in particular a certain singer/musician,
classic music, and dancing. Nurse Aide G revealed when Resident #1 had a behavior to call the nurses.
During an interview on 8/30/23 at 3:29 p.m., the Administrator revealed, Resident #1 had a history of
elopement and had recently displayed aggression. The Administrator revealed, Resident #1 enjoyed
listening to music to calm him and it worked when the resident was held down in a chair and the resident
was able to get up on his own. The Administrator stated, it may not be in care plan, but as we found out
more things about [Resident #1], staff talk to each other, and we share information among each other, talk
about it at morning meetings. The Administrator revealed, the purpose of the care plan was to show what
the individual might benefit from and gave a true picture of the resident.
During an interview on 9/1/23 at 9:56 a.m., the DON revealed, the care plan was important because it
provided an idea on how to take care of the residents. The DON revealed she knew the nursing staff and
floor staff were aware how to get access to the care plan. The DON revealed, she believed the MDS
Coordinator, and she was responsible for individualizing the care plan. The DON stated, I don't think there
was a negative outcome because everybody knew what [Resident #1] liked to do, listen to a particular
singer/musician, go on walks.
A request for the facility policy and procedure for comprehensive care plans, requested on 9/1/23 at 9:56
a.m. was not provided at the time of the exit.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Resident(s) environment remained
as free of accident hazards as possible and each resident received supervision and assistance devices to
prevent accidents for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #1) reviewed for elopements in that:
The facility failed to provide adequate safety interventions to prevent Resident #1 from elopement. Resident
#1 had elopement events recorded on 5/18/23, 5/27/23, 8/22/23, 8/25/23. On 8/26/23, Resident #1 was
found in the middle of the street a half mile down the road from the secure unit.
These failures resulted in an IJ on 8/26/23 at 6:00 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 9/1/23 at 8:19 p.m.,
the facility remained out of compliance at a level of no actual harm with a potential for more than minimal
harm that is not immediate jeopardy with a scope of pattern due to the facility's need to evaluate the
effectiveness of their plan of removal.
This failure placed residents at risk for harm, injury, or death due to elopement.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 8/26/23 revealed a [AGE] year old male admitted to the

and services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for
1 of 4 residents, (Resident #1) reviewed for behavioral health services in that:
The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was provided appropriate or timely behavioral health services after
showing increased signs of aggression.

which a person can't tell what's real from what's imagined), anxiety disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by feelings of worry, anxiety, or fear that are strong enough to interfere with one's daily
activities), dementia without behavioral disturbance and impulse disorder (characterized by urges and
behaviors that are excessive and/or harmful to oneself or others).
Record review of Resident #1's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 8/2/23 revealed the resident
was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills.

During an interview on 8/27/23 at 12:39 p.m., the Administrator stated, former Psych NP B left about a
month ago and the new Psych NP V took over August 2023. The Administrator stated the Medical Director
was doing psych evaluations after Psych NP B left.
Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 8/27/23 at 1:11 p.m., the ADON revealed Psych NP B had been providing psych
services until July 2023. The ADON stated, Psych NP B left on medical leave and Psych NP W was filling in
doing tele-visits until Psych NP V took over. The ADON stated, she did not recall Psych NP B making any
medication changes for Resident #1. The ADON stated she believed Psych NP W had probably seen
Resident #1 one time in July 2023.
During a telephone interview on 8/28/23 at 9:35 a.m., Psych NP B revealed she had left on medical leave
6/26/23 and the consulting firm she was contracted with had provided an on-call psychiatric consultant until
Psych NP V could take over as the new consultant. Psych NP B stated, I am a nurse practitioner, I was
doing psychiatric evaluations and I am able to adjust medications for psychiatric services. Psych NP B
stated, Resident #1 was exhibiting constant aggression, was probably not appropriate for the facility and
had been refusing his medications. Psych NP B stated, since [Resident #1] was not taking his medication,
there is not much that I can do and that is beyond me. Psych NP B stated, I did not make contact with the
[Medical Director.] I didn't know I need to make contact with them. Psych NP B revealed she would report to
nursing about her observations and there was no discussion about getting another psychological evaluation
for [Resident #1].
During a telephone interview on 8/28/23 at 10:01 a.m., Psych NP V revealed she had gone into the facility
for psychiatric evaluation of residents for the first time on 8/25/23. Psych NP V revealed in addition to
working for the consulting firm as a psychiatric consultant, Psych NP V stated she also had a full-time job.
Psych NP V stated, I don't have a list of any of the patients (seen in the facility on 8/25/23), I don't
remember [Resident #1]. Psych NP V revealed she was capable of making medication changes or
adjustments and would notify the Medical Director and the nurses. Psych NP V revealed maybe Psych NP
W could be more informative about Resident #1.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 10:10 a.m., the DON revealed, Resident #1 had been seen by Psych NP
W during telehealth visits but could not recall any dates. The DON stated she believed the new Psych NP V
had seen Resident #1 on 8/25/23 when she was in the building, but Psych NP V did not communicate with
her before leaving the facility. The DON revealed, the ADON had given Psych NP V a list of residents for
psychiatric evaluation and follow up and Resident #1 was priority on the list. The DON stated, it was her
expectation the Psych NP should communicate any recommendations or any written orders. The DON
revealed, it typically took a couple of days for the Psych NP to upload their recommendations into the
electronic record and did not know if any of the information on the report was communicated to the medical
director. The DON stated, I feel if [Psych NP V] had made any medication changes for [Resident #1], the
nurses would have gotten that. No new orders were put into the system for [Resident #1].
During a follow up interview on 8/28/23 at 10:27 a.m., the ADON stated, I reached out to [Psych NP W]
about getting reports of visits with [Resident #1]. The ADON stated, she was not sure if she had reached
out to Psych NP W about doing a psychiatric evaluation on Resident #1, I can't find anything about [Psych
NP W] seeing [Resident #1].

During a telephone interview on 8/28/23 at 10:30 a.m., the Medical Director stated he was also the
attending physician to Resident #1 and revealed the corporate office wanted one psychiatric company to
provide psychiatric services. The Medical Director stated, Unfortunately, they don't have any local folks, and
no one was able to come down since like June. The Medical Director revealed the Psych NP could make
medication adjustments and were supervised by a licensed psychiatrist. The Medical Director stated, I can
contact them, the Psych NP but have never actually had the Psych NP contact me. The Medical Director
stated, [Psych NP B] started [Resident #1] on Haldol gel on 7/21/23. At that time, we were probably not
aware [Resident #1] had schizoaffective disorder. At that point that was what was recommended, I had
recommended the facility to either contact [Psych NP B] or give Haldol IM as needed.
During a follow up interview on 8/28/23 at 12:14 p.m., the ADON revealed she had provided Psych NP V a
prioritized list of the residents that needed a psychiatric evaluation or follow up for Friday 8/25/23, and
Saturday 8/26/23. The ADON stated, Resident #1 was first to be seen on the list. The ADON stated, Psych
NP V did not communicate with her when she left, did not exit with anyone, and had only met Psych NP V
when she entered the building on 8/25/23. The ADON stated, Psych NP V was supposed to be back on
Saturday 8/26/23 and Sunday 8/27/23, but [Psych NP V[ did not come back on Sunday. The ADON stated,
when Psych NP B had done psychiatric visits, [Psych NP B] would not give us any feedback either, she
would tell us she was here, we would give her a list and then that was it. [Psych NP B] would either e-mail
us orders and then add her notes into the electronic record. The ADON stated she did not believe Psych
NP B had made any real medication changes other than prn Haldol for Resident #1. The ADON revealed it
took probably a week for Psych NP B to upload her visit notes into the electronic record.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 1:09 p.m., LVN C revealed she had made a list of the residents that
needed to be seen for psychiatric evaluation and for follow up provided to Psych NP V for the visit on
8/25/23 but was not sure if Psych NP V had seen Resident #1. LVN C stated, [Resident #1] was first on the
list. LVN C revealed, Psych NP B was never in the building and did telehealth with Resident #1. LVN C
stated, our complaint was that [Psych NP B] was not coming in the building and had been mentioned
during morning meeting with Administrative staff and would be told they would take it up with corporate.
LVN C stated, Psych NP B did not make any significant medication changes and Resident #1 continued to
take the same medications since his admission.
During an interview on 8/28/23 at 2:53 p.m., the Administrator revealed, Psych NP B physically made
psychiatric evaluations and follow ups once a month and then did telehealth visits due to illness. The
Administrator stated, this guy, [Psych NP W] took over in July 2023 for [Psych NP B]. The Administrator
