CR #1, she was screaming, she guesses CNA A was frustrated with CR #1which was why she was forcing
on CR #1. The administrator did not tell me about, CR#1's RP stated she asked the administrator, and she
was told an investigation was started, but she did not want to tell me until she had finished her
investigation, so she would have something to tell. CR #1 stated there was no bruise on CR #1 but was told
the incident happened on [DATE] but was notified about it on [DATE]. Interview with Administrator on
[DATE] at 1:25 pm. Said CR#1, is no longer in this facility. She had a change in condition and was
transferred to the hospital on [DATE] hospital, where she finally died of natural death. On the incident that
happened while she was in this facility, I came to work on Monday around noon, a resident by the name
resident #26 came to me and told me that a resident was physically abused on Sunday late afternoon by a
CNA A. She said that CR#1, was trying to stand up from her wheelchair, and CNA A forcefully pushed her
back in the wheelchair. I asked her if she had told any staff, and she said no. I started an investigation
immediately and removed the employee from the schedule pending investigation. After investigation, it was
undetermined if staff abused the resident. Training on abuse/neglect was done on [DATE], and every
month/PRN, last done on [DATE]. Examples of abuse are physical, mental, verbal, financial, and sexual. An
example of neglect is not changing the residents or not providing care. She stated that she had not
witnessed any abuse before. If there is any suspected abuse, all staff report to her, and she starts an
investigation immediately.In another interview with Administrator on [DATE] at 4:57 pm. She said the
incident happened on [DATE], knew about it on [DATE] through resident #26, and it was reported to HHSC
on [DATE] at 5:45 p.m. She stated that, there was nothing to corroborate any signs of abuse. No signs of
injury, no change in behaviors. The facility's process of reporting abuse is that investigation is started, to
make sure the facility had done something about it, to make sure it was taken care of. The facility's
investigation did not reveal that any abuse had happened. She even interviewed residents. She saw CR
#1's RP that Tuesday or Wednesday and told her about the allegation. The administrator did not answer the
question for reporting abuse timely. She said what was more important is that we started our investigation
right away. Additional harm can happen. There was no intent to not report. Risk to the resident when RP
was not notified of abuse. Potentially harm could come to the resident. Telephone Interview with ADON on
[DATE] at 9:50 am., she stated she worked PRN at this facility and has not been there in the past 45 days.
She stated the incident involving CR#1, she cannot remember everything; however, a regular head-to-toe
assessment of CR#1 was conducted during that period of alleged abuse. The facility has a process in place
that, whenever suspected abuse is reported, an assessment is performed. The facility completed a
completed a head-to-toe assessment on CR#1, no physical injury found. Whenever there is a suspected or
an allegation of abuse, an investigation is started. If it is resident-to-resident, the resident is removed, or
staff-to-resident, the staff is removed from the care; the administrator, NP, and RP are notified. The
allegation is also reported to HHSC within 2hours to 24 hours. The risk of not reporting to HHSC will be that
the residents will continue to get harmed from the abuse. The risk of not notifying the resident RP is that the
RP will not be aware and will not help the resident to make an informed decision at that time. ADON stated
she had received in-service for abuse and neglect; the last in-service was last month, June. Examples of
abuse are physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual. An example of neglect is the failure to provide care. If
there is any suspected abuse, it is always reported to the administrator. A record review of the facility's
policy on abuse, neglect, and exploitation revealed the following: Abuse is the willful infliction of injury,
unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain or mental
anguish. Instances of abuse of all residents, irrespective of any mental, or physical condition, cause

when food items were opened in the refrigerator and dry storage. -The facility failed to discard expired
cooked food from the walk-in refrigerator.-The facility failed remove a scoop in the flour container. These
failures could place residents who received meals and/or snacks from the kitchen at risk for food-borne
illness and food contamination if consumed. Findings included: Kitchen Observation on 07/29/25 at 8:15
AM revealed the following: -1 Plastic bag of cooked Spanish rice that was not labeled or dated in the
walk-in refrigerator.-1 Plastic bag cooked ham chunks that was not labeled or dated in the walk-in
refrigerator.-1 plastic bag of diced tomatoes that was not labeled or dated in the walk-in refrigerator.-15 8oz
glasses of orange juice that was not labeled or dated in the walk-in refrigerator.-1 -25 lb box of instant food
thickener that was opened, unsealed, and undated in the dry storage area. - 1 plastic bag of opened and
[NAME] Crispy cereal that was not labeled or dated in the dry storage area.- 1 opened 5 lb bag of Rotini

was not dated in the walk-in freezer.- 1 container of tomato soup with an expired date of 07/22/25 in the dry
storage area.- 20 Liter flour container noted with scoop left in container in the dry storage area. During an
interview on 07/29/25 at 8:30 AM, Dietary Aide B said all open items should be labeled and dated. Dietary
Aide B said these items should be discarded because the staff does not know when the items were
opened. During an interview on 07/31/25 at 4:50 PM, [NAME] E said the kitchen staff was responsible for
labeling and dating food items. She said cooked food should be labeled and dated, and it should be
discarded after 2-3 days. [NAME] E said the risk of not labeling and dating food was that the residents
could get sick, which could lead to food poisoning. During an interview on 07/31/25 at 5:01 PM, the Dietary
Manager said the expectation was for all kitchen staff to label and date open items in the refrigerator and in
the dry storage areas. She also said the scoop should not be left in the flour container because it could be
an infection control concern. The Dietary manager said the risk of unlabeled, unsealed, or outdated food
would not be good for residents to consume because serving outdated food could cause harm and lead to
food borne illness. During an interview on 07/31/25 at 5:15 PM, the Administrator said she expected the
kitchen staff to label and date all foods per policy. She said food without labels or dates should be
discarded. She said outdated food can cause harm and the resident can get sick. Record review of the
