**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents the right to be free from
abuse and/or neglect for 4 (Resident #1, Resident #2, Resident #3, and Resident #4) of 12 residents
reviewed for abuse and/or neglect. 1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1, Resident #3, and Resident
#4 were provided with a call light to call for assistance when their call light was thrown on the floor and
provided an extra one dummy that was not plugged into the call light system. 2. The facility failed to ensure
Resident #2 was free from verbal abuse when CNA A told him Shut the [F-word] up and mind your
business. These failures could place residents at risk of emotional harm. Findings included: 1. Record
review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 02/11/26, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included cervical disc disorder with myelopathy (a serious, progressive
condition where degenerated discs and bone spurs compress the spinal cord in the neck), Parkinson's
disease (a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells,
leading to movement-related symptoms), dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language,
problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), cervical
spinal cord injury (involves damage to the vertebrae or nerves in the neck), neurogenic bowel (the loss of
normal bowel function due to nerve damage), and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (when a person
lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly
MDS assessment, dated 12/12/25, reflected he had a BIMS score of 03, which indicated severe cognitive
impairment. He was able to make himself understood, and he was able to understand others. He had a
functional limitation in range of motion for all four extremities. He required supervision or touching
assistance with eating and oral hygiene. He required substantial assistance with toileting, bathing, upper
body dressing, personal hygiene, and roll left and right, and sit to lying bed mobility. He was dependent on
staff for lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, chair/bed-to-chair transfers, and tub/shower
transfers. He required moderate assistance with wheelchair ambulation. He was always incontinent of both
bowel and bladder. Record review of Resident #1's care plan, included a focus of falls, last revised on
05/21/24. The focus reflected Resident had the potential for falls related to unspecified injury at unspecified
level of cervical spinal cord. Interventions included, place the resident's call light within reach and
encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. Record review of a Grievance/Complaint Report,
dated 02/02/26, received by the Social Worker, and initiated by CNA E stated: CNA reported to Social
Worker concerns that another CNA, [CNA B], has been switching out [Resident #1's] call light cord/button
with a dummy one that does not work. The concern is that this is happening during evening/weekend shifts
when [CNA B] is working.Facility follow up was assigned to the Administrator/DON. A meeting was not held.

had heard about it, but they were not sure if it [was] true or who was doing it.On 02.03.2026, Administrator
asked Maintenance Director to assess all the call lights in the building, which he did. He found all Lights in
working order and functioning properly.I interviewed [Resident #4] and she says it happens sometimes in

two call lights in her room, but says it takes a long time for anyone to answer the lights.I interviewed
[Resident #1], and he said it takes a long time to get his call light answered. He did not give the

then stood up and left the Administrator's office. During an observation of a video recording provided to this
surveyor by Family Member H, dated 02/04/26 at 04:15PM, this surveyor observed the following:*The

explaining CNA A and CNA B were suspended. She told the Administrator that CNA A was present in the
facility this day and at this time. She said CNA A was assigned to Resident #1. So, what I want to know is
why somebody who took a call light from someone is still here right now and still with [Resident #1]. *The
Administrator said, I'll have to find that out for you, because I didn't know that. The Administrator then
identified herself as the Administrator after being asked by Family Member H. During an observation of a

She said, I gave my resignation to the director because of that. We did not know specific rooms. I did not
realize that girl was [CNA A]. I dropped the ball. We dropped the ball. I had every intention of going to the
Administrator, pulling her in there, and getting this resolved this morning when I left you that message. And
then other drama unfolded The DON then acknowledged that Family Member H reported the call light issue
to her on 02/03/26 and they were made aware of the issue the morning of 02/03/26. The DON said she
reported this to the Administrator on 02/03/26. I gave them my resignation; I did not want them to pin me
with patient abandonment. During an observation on 02/12/26 at 12:53PM, this surveyor observed an extra
call light in a drawer at the central nurse's station. During an interview on 02/11/26 at 02:56PM, Resident #2

He said he goes over to Resident #1 when this happens and gives him the light back. He said that had
been ongoing for at least a month or so. He said he had reported this to the ADON, the Administrator, and
the HR Director. He said the Administrator spoke with him about the call light on 02/05/26. He said the
Administrator told him they were going to investigate it. He said the Administrator asked him who told him
about the call light. He said he reported to her that CNA A was plugging a fake call light into the wall on his
roommate's side. He said on 02/05/26, he was told CNA A was suspended. During an interview on
02/12/26 at 08:47AM, the HR Director said her office was on Resident #1's hall. She said back in
December, she went into Resident #1's room and noticed his light was on the floor. She said there were two
call lights on his side of the room. She said the one that was plugged in, was draped over between his bed
and bedside table. She said the other call light on his side of the room was not plugged in and was coiled
up on the floor. She said she did not notify the Administrator about this. She said she assumed that it was
not working, and they forgot to take the old one out when they changed it. She said she took it to the
ADON. She said she did not know at the time of the allegations of a fake call light being used. She said this
was towards the end of December. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 9:25AM, the Administrator said she

not suspend CNA B related to the call light incident. She said she spoke with Resident #2, and he said
CNA A did it to Resident #1. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 9:56AM, Resident #2 said Resident #1 got
upset when he was not able to use his call light. He said Resident #1 hollers and screams when he does
not have his call light. He said he tries to help Resident #1 when he can and he gives him the call light
back. He said Resident #1 uses his call light a lot. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 10:17AM, CNA D said
she usually took care of Resident #1. She said she had worked at this facility for about 7 months. She said
a while back, she found an extra call light on the floor in Resident #1's room. She said his regular call light
was plugged into the wall and draped over his bedside drawers. She said the other call light was not
plugged in and it was in his hand. She said this was about 2-3 months ago. She said when she found this,
she went to the DON at the time. She said she grabbed the extra call light and tried to turn it into the
Maintenance Director, but he was already gone for the day. She said she gave the light to the HR Director.
She said she only saw this happen one time. She said she has not seen this happen to any other residents,
only Resident #1. She said she did not know who it may have been. She said the schedule changes a lot.
She said Resident #1 hits his call light a lot. She said he hollers out when he does not have it or when the
staff do not answer. She said she felt like the person that did this, did it because Resident #1 calls a bunch
and they did not want to let him call. She said she felt like the resident may feel secluded or neglected when
this happens. She said the resident is forgetful and may not remember this happening. During an interview
on 02/12/26 at 11:00AM, the Administrator said CNA A was suspended on 02/04/26 at 5:20PM. She said
she was aware of the call light issue at that point. She said she was aware of a complaint of dummy call
lights in the facility. She said she had the Maintenance Director go check all the call lights. She said CNA A
was named as a potentially involved staff. She said Resident #2 told her a dummy call light was being used.
She said she did not suspend CNA B because she was not on the schedule that day. She said she learned
about the call light issue on the 2nd or 3rd of February. She said then she heard it could have been [CNA B]
or [CNA A]. She said she was told CNA A's name on the 2nd or 3rd of February. She said she talked to
CNA B on the 4th of February. She said CNA A worked on the 4th of February. She said the DON told the
family of Resident #1 that they were going to suspend CNA A on the 4th. They did not suspend her until
5:20PM on the 4th of February, for the incident regarding alleged verbal abuse of Resident #2. She said
she also was told CNA B may be involved on the 2nd or 3rd of February. During an interview on 02/12/26 at
11:20AM, the DON said she was aware of the call light allegation. She said she was made aware of this
during a clinical meeting on the 3rd of February. She said she was told someone was doing this with the
light. She said they had the Maintenance Director go and check all the call lights. She said she was told the
names of CNA A and CNA B on the evening of the 3rd of February. She said the Family Member of
Resident #1 notified her of this issue and the names of the two CNAs and which rooms she heard of this.
She said she did not suspend CNA A or CNA B. She said they should have been suspended at this point.
She said this could be considered neglect or seclusion, especially because Resident #1's means of
communication was taken away. She said Resident #1 depended on staff for his needs and ADLs. She said
she told the Administrator on the 3rd of February of the allegations with the call light and the two identified
staff. She said the Administrator should have suspended CNA A and CNA B when she learned of the
allegation. She said she did not know if any of this was reported to HHSC. She said an allegation of neglect
or seclusion should have been reported to the state. She said CNA A worked on Resident #1's hall on the
4th of February. She said there was a risk that CNA A could have replaced or moved Resident #1's call light
while she was working on the 4th of February. She said she did not feel like the

Administrator did a thorough investigation. She said she should have done the investigation as soon as she
knew about it on the 3rd, not the 4th. She said she was not sure if CNA B was suspended. She said she
was not sure when CNA A was suspended. She said she has not seen this issue personally with her eyes.
She said no other resident complained about this, other than Resident #1 and his family. She said in the
time she had been in the facility, she was not aware of any issues between Resident #1 and CNA B or CNA
A. She said these failures put the residents at risk for further neglect, seclusion, and mistreatment. During
an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:35AM, the Administrator said she received a grievance of an issue of fake
call lights on the 2nd of February. She said she heard CNA B's name on the 2nd. She heard CNA A's name
on the 3rd. She said the complaint was that a fake call light or extra call light was being used. She said her
understanding was that the resident would have a call light and it would not work. She said her
understanding was that the light was pulled from the wall. She said she thought it was impossible because
if it was unplugged it would alarm. She said the next day on the 3rd she was told, no they use two call
lights. She said she was told that an extra call light was being used and given to the resident. She said this
could be considered an allegation of neglect or seclusion. She said the two identified aides should have
been suspended immediately. She said they were not suspended on the 3rd of February. She said CNA B
was not on the schedule around the time this was going on. She said CNA B came back around 2-3 days
after this. She said CNA A was allowed to work on the 4th of February. She said CNA A was suspended
later in the evening on the 4th related to a verbal abuse allegation. She said allowing CNA A to work on the
4th put Resident #1 at risk for further neglect or seclusion. She said this was not reported to HHSC. She
said it should have been reported to HHSC. She said another resident reported this issue to her in a
grievance. She said the grievance was for another resident and named CNA B. She said she felt like she
could have done a more thorough investigation. She said these failures put the residents at risk for further
neglect, seclusion, and mistreatment. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 12:02PM, the Social Worker said
CNA E informed her that CNA B was using dummy lights on 02/02/26. She said she was told the aide was
moving the good light out of the resident's reach and using an extra one to give to the residents. She said
she reported this to her about Resident #1, Resident #3, and Resident #4. She said she did not investigate
this, but the Administrator was responsible for investigating this. She said the allegat

observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving
abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of
resident property, are reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the
events that cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not later than 24 hours if
the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury, to the
administrator of the facility and to other officials (including to the State Survey Agency and adult protective
services where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in accordance with State law
through established procedures for 3 (Resident #1, Resident #3, and Resident #4) of 12 residents reviewed

LightsOn 02.02.2026 around 4:30 pm, Administrator received Grievances from Social Worker regarding
employees using a Fake Call Light.I asked staff about Dummy Call Lights, and they stated they had heard
about it, but they were not sure if it [was] true or who was doing it.On 02.03.2026, Administrator asked
Maintenance Director to assess all the call lights in the building, which he did. He found all Lights in working
order and functioning properly.I interviewed [Resident #4] and she says it happens sometimes in the

two call lights in her room, but says it takes a long time for anyone to answer the lights.I interviewed
[Resident #1], and he said it takes a long time to get his call light answered. He did not give the
Administrator a name, but his roommate, [Resident #2] stated that it was [CNA A] who was unplugging the
call Lights. I asked [Resident #2] if he had seen two call lights and he answered No but [The HR Director]
told him a few weeks ago that she saw two Call Lights in [Resident #1's] room.Administrator later returned

into his room after breakfast and found a call light on the floor, not plugged in. I looked over at the call light
plug on the wall and saw another call light plugged in. I handed him the call light that was plugged in and
took the other one to the ADON office as I assumed it was broken. Record review of an email, dated
02/04/26 at 09:28PM, sent by LVN F to the Administrator, reflected: On February 2, 2026, at around 0700
my [Resident #3's hall] aide approached me with a call light issue that had happened the night before. A
resident by the name of [Resident #3] stated the night aide [CNA B] had put her call light out of reach and

light that is not plugged into the wall. She said sometimes he does not have water when some aides take
care of him. She said she had came up to the facility and there have been many times Resident #1's sheets
were saturated. She said Resident #1 has an old spinal cord injury and is not aware when he is in pain. She
said Resident #1 fell a few years ago and had to have a lifesaving surgery on his C1-T2 vertebrae. He does
not have any bowel/bladder control. She said his pain receptors do not work due to this surgery. She said
on February 3rd she came up to the facility to report the call light problem to the DON. She said she
received a voicemail from the DON on 04/04/25 at 09:24 am and the DON told her that CNA A and CNA B
had been suspended. She said she came to visit Resident #1 on 04/04/25 at 4:00PM and CNA A was in
the facility working and taking care of Resident #1. She said the DON had a different story then. She said
she then spoke with the Administrator and she would not help her. She said she saw CNA A in the facility
and confronted her. She said at 04:38PM the DON came to her and apologized to her for the situation. She
said the DON did not know who CNA A was. She said she took videos of these interactions and would
provide them to this surveyor. During an observation of a video recording provided to this surveyor by
Family Member H, dated 02/03/26 at 02:10PM, this surveyor observed the following:*Family Member H can
be heard talking to the DON and asking about her day.*Family Member H identifies herself to the DON as a
family member of Resident #1.*Family Member H notifies the DON about someone removing Resident #1's
call light and providing one that is not plugged in to him.*Family Member H said she heard that a man from
Maintenance had came into Resident #1's room and checked his call light and had further indicated to her
that he also was going to check Resident #4's room.*Family Member H identified CNA B and CNA A as the
two aides she had heard may have removed Resident #1's call light and provided him with an unplugged
call light.*Family Member H said she had heard this from several different people.*The DON said she heard
about the call lights this morning in a meeting this morning, but I was not told of the specific rooms. During
an observation of a voicemail recording provided to this surveyor by Family Member H, dated 02/04/26

Administrator said, Have you seen it?*Family Member H said No, but I have been told by several
people.*The Administrator said But have you seen it, because.*Family Member H interrupted the
Administrator and said, So you're trying to say it didn't happen?*The Administrator said, I'll listen to
you.*Family Member H said I know for a fact that the call light has been, I heard from multiple people who
have witnessed it. Okay? She has unplugged the call light. [CNA B] started it, and [CNA A] has continued it.
I know she got moved off that hall and she has been doing it to more than [Resident #1]. I know these
things. *The Administrator said but my question is.*Family member H interrupted the Administrator and said
No, I have not seen it, and I am not going to tell you who told me either, so don't ask me please.*The
Administrator said, If you can't tell me where you got the information from, how am I going to help solve
this?*The Administrator said, I need to know where this information is coming from.*The Administrator said,
when you unplug the cord, it sends an alarm.*Family Member H said, They don't unplug it, they put it in the
floor and give them a fake one.*The Administrator said, We don't have a fake one.*Family Member H said,
Yeah you do, in the other rooms.*The Administrator said So show me.*Family Member H said Show you?
You think I know where to find stuff in this place?. Family Member H then stood up and left the
Administrator's office. During an observation of a video recording provided to this surveyor by Family
Member H, dated 02/04/26 at 04:15PM, this surveyor observed the following:*The Administrator entered
the room and asked Family Member H, so show me what you are talking about.*Family Member H said I'm
talking about this call light. It is in the floor, and they are giving him one in his hand.*Family Member H
explained to the Administrator about the voicemail she received from the DON explaining CNA A and CNA
B were suspended. She told the Administrator that CNA A was present in the facility this day and at this
time. She said CNA A was assigned to Resident #1. So, what I want to know is why somebody who took a
call light from someone is still here right now and still with [Resident #1]. *The Administrator said, I'll have to
find that out for you, because I didn't know that. The Administrator then identified herself as the
Administrator after being asked by Family Member H. During an observation of a video recording provided

speaking with a female staff member. The staff member denied giving anyone a fake call light. She
identified herself as CNA A. During an observation of a video recording provided to this surveyor by Family
Member H, dated 02/04/26 at 04:38PM, this surveyor observed the following:The DON can be seen on the
video speaking. She said, I gave my resignation to the director because of that. We did not know specific
rooms. I did not realize that girl was [CNA A]. I dropped the ball. We dropped the ball. I had every intention
of going to the Administrator, pulling her in there, and getting this resolved this morning when I left you that
message. And then other drama unfolded The DON then acknowledged that Family Member H reported the
call light issue to her on 02/03/26 and they were made aware of the issue the morning of 02/03/26. The
DON said she reported this to the Administrator on 02/03/26. I gave them my resignation; I did not want
them to pin me with patient abandonment. During an observation on 02/12/26 at 12:53PM, this surveyor
observed an extra call light in a drawer at the central nurse's station. During an interview on 02/11/26 at
02:56PM, Resident #2 said that he was Resident #1's roommate. He said CNA A moves Resident #1's call
light out of his reach. He said he goes over to Resident #1 when this happens and gives him the light back.
He said this had been ongoing for at least a month or so. He said he has reported this to the ADON, the
Administrator, and the HR Director. He said the Administrator spoke with him about the call light on
02/05/26. He said the Administrator told him they were going to investigate this. He said the Administrator
asked him who told him about the call light. He said he reported to her that CNA A was plugging a fake call
light into the wall on his roommate's side. He said on 02/05/26 he was told CNA A was suspended. During
an interview on 02/12/26 at 08:47AM the HR Director said her office is on Resident #1's hall. She said back
in December she went into Resident #1's room and noticed his light was on the floor. She said there were
two call lights on his side of the room. She said the one that was plugged in was draped over between his
bed and bedside table. She said the other call light on his side of the room was not plugged in and was
coiled up on the floor. She said she did not notify the Administrator about this. She said she assumed that it
was not working, and they forgot to take the old one out when they changed it. She said she took it to the
ADON. She said she did not know at the time of the allegations of a fake call light being used. She said this
was towards the end of December. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 9:25AM, the Administrator said she
did not suspend CNA B related to the call light incident. She said she spoke with Resident #2, and he said
CNA A did it to Resident #1. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 9:56AM, Resident #2 said Resident #1 gets
upset when he is not able to use his call light. He said Resident #2 hollers and screams when he does not
have his call light. He said he tries to help Resident #1 when he can and he gives him the call light back. He
said Resident #1 uses his call light a lot. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 10:17AM, CNA D said she
usually takes care of Resident #1. She said she had worked at this facility for about 7 months. She said a
while back she found an extra call light on the floor in Resident #1's room. She said his regular call light
was plugged into the wall and draped over his bedside drawers. She said the other call light was not
plugged in and it was in his hand. She said this was about 2-3 months ago. She said when she found this
she went to the DON at the time. She said she grabbed the extra call light and tried to turn it into the
Maintenance Director, but he was already gone for the day. She said she gave the light to the HR director.
She said she only saw this happen one time. She said she has not seen this happen to any other residents,
only Resident #1. She said she did not know who it may have been. She said the schedule changes a lot.
She said Resident #1 hits his call light a lot. She said he hollers out when he does not have it or when the
staff do not answer. She said she felt like the person that did this did it because Resident #1 calls a bunch
and they did not want to let him call. She said she felt like

the resident may feel secluded or neglected when this happens. She said the resident is forgetful and may
not remember this happening. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:00AM, the Administrator said CNA A
was suspended on 02/04/26 at 5:20PM. She said she was aware of the call light issue at that point. She
said she was aware of a complaint of dummy call lights in the facility. She said she had the Maintenance
Director go check all the call lights. She said CNA A was named as a potentially involved staff. She said
Resident #2 told her a dummy call light was being used. She said she did not suspend CNA B because she
was not on the schedule that day. She said she learned about the call light issue on the 2nd or 3rd of
February. She said then she heard it could have been [CNA B] or [CNA A]. She said she was told CNA A's
name on the 2nd or 3rd of February. She said she talked to CNA B on the 4th of February. She said CNA A
worked on the 4th of February. She said the DON told the family of Resident #1 that they were going to
suspend CNA A on the 4th. They did not suspend her until 5:20PM on the 4th of February, for the incident
regarding alleged verbal abuse of Resident #2. She said she also was told CNA B may be involved on the
2nd or 3rd of February. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:20AM, the DON said she was aware of the
call light allegation. She said she was made aware of this during a clinical meeting on the 3rd of February.
She said she was told someone was doing this with the light. She said they had the Maintenance Director
go and check all the call lights. She said she was told the names of CNA A and CNA B on the evening of
the 3rd of February. She said the Family Member of Resident #1 notified her of this issue and the names of
the two CNAs and which rooms she heard of this. She said she did not suspend CNA A or CNA B. She said
they should have been suspended at this point. She said this could be considered neglect or seclusion,
especially because Resident #1's means of communication was taken away. She said Resident #1
depended on staff for his needs and ADLs. She said she told the Administrator on the 3rd of February of
the allegations with the call light and the two identified staff. She said the Administrator should have
suspended CNA A and CNA B when she learned of the allegation. She said she did not know if any of this
was reported to HHSC. She said an allegation of neglect or seclusion should have been reported to the
state. She said CNA A worked on Resident #1's hall on the 4th of February. She said there was a risk that
CNA A could have replaced or moved Resident #1's call light while she was working on the 4th of February.
She said she did not feel like the Administrator did a thorough investigation. She said she should have done
the investigation as soon as she knew about it on the 3rd, not the 4th. She said she was not sure if CNA B
was suspended. She said she was not sure when CNA A was suspended. She said she has not seen this
issue personally with her eyes. She said no other resident has complained about this other than Resident
#1 and his family. She said in the time she had been in the facility she was not aware of any issues between
Resident #1 and CNA B or CNA A. She said these failures put the residents at risk for further neglect,
seclusion, and mistreatment. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:35AM, the Administrator said she
received a grievance of an issue of fake call lights on the 2nd of February. She said she heard CNA B's
name on the 2nd. She heard CNA A's name on the 3rd. She said the complaint was that a fake call light or
extra call light was being used. She said her understanding was that the resident would have a call light and
it would not work. She said her understanding was that the light was pulled from the wall. She said she
thought it was impossible because if it was unplugged it would alarm. She said the next day on the 3rd she
was told, no they use two call lights. She said she was told that an extra call light was being used and given
to the resident. She said this could be considered an allegation of neglect or seclusion. She said the two
identified aides should have been suspended immediately. She said they were not suspended on the 3rd of
February. She said CNA B was not on the schedule around the time this was going on. She said CNA B
came back around

2-3 days after this. She said CNA A was allowed to work on the 4th of February. She said CNA A was
suspended later in the evening on the 4th related to a verbal abuse allegation. She said allowing CNA A to
work on the 4th put Resident #1 at risk for further neglect or seclusion. She said this was not reported to
HHSC. She said it should have been reported to HHSC. She said another resident reported this issue to
her in a grievance. She said the grievance was for another resident and named CNA B. She said she felt
like she could have done a more thorough investigation. She said these failures put the residents at risk for
further neglect, seclusion, and mistreatment. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 12:02PM the Social
Worker said CNA E informed her that CNA B was using dummy lights on 02/02/26. She said she was told
the aide was moving the good light out of the resident's reach and using an extra one to give to the
residents. She said she reported this to her about Resident #1, Resident #3, and Resident #4. She said she
did not investigate this, but the Administrator was responsible for investigating this. She said the allegation
related to the call light could be considered neglect or seclusion. She said she has not heard this allegation
about any other residents. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 12:23PM, CNA E said she had heard of the
call light situation. She said she had not observed it herself. She said CNA A told her about it. She said
CNA A told her about the call light being moved away from the resident and then the resident being given a
dummy call light. She said CNA [NAME] told her that she had seen this done before. She said this situation
could be considered seclusion. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 12:28PM, CNA B said she had not
noticed anyone use a fake call light in the facility. She said she had not heard of anyone doing this to a
resident other than these allegations. She said she was not suspended until this day on 02/12/26. She said

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure they took steps to prevent further
potential abuse or neglect while the investigation was in progress and they took appropriate corrective
action after the alleged violation was verified for all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation
or mistreatment, including misappropriation of resident property for 4 (Resident #1, Resident #2, Resident
#3, and Resident #4) of 12 residents reviewed for abuse and/or neglect. 1. The facility failed to correct
identified neglect identified in grievances filed on 02/02/26 related to Resident #1, Resident #3, and
Resident #4 extra dummy call lights. 2. The facility failed to suspend CNA A and CNA B when they were
identified in an allegation of neglect related to grievances filed on 02/02/26 for Resident #1, Resident #3,
and Resident #4's extra dummy call lights. 3. The facility failed to prevent verbal abuse of Resident #2 on
02/04/26, when they did not suspend CNA A after an allegation of neglect that was reported on 02/02/26
and after confirmation from the DON to Family Member H on 02/04/26 at 9:24 AM that CNA A would be
suspended. These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 02/13/26 at
10:20AM, While the IJ was removed on 02/13/26 at 04:43PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a
scope of pattern and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not
immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. These
failures could place residents at risk of emotional harm and neglect.Findings included: 1. Record review of
Resident #1's face sheet, dated 02/11/26, reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility
on [DATE]. His diagnoses included cervical disc disorder with myelopathy (a serious, progressive condition
where degenerated discs and bone spurs compress the spinal cord in the neck), Parkinson's disease (a
progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, leading to
movement-related symptoms), dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving
and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life), cervical spinal cord injury
(involves damage to the vertebrae or nerves in the neck), neurogenic bowel (the loss of normal bowel
function due to nerve damage), and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder (when a person lacks bladder
control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS
assessment, dated 12/12/25, reflected he had a BIMS score of 03, which indicated severe cognitive
impairment. He was able to make himself understood, and he was able to understand others. He had a
functional limitation in range of motion for all four extremities. He required supervision or touching
assistance with eating and oral hygiene. He required substantial assistance with toileting, bathing, upper
body dressing, personal hygiene, and roll left and right, and sit to lying bed mobility. He was dependent on
staff for lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, chair/bed-to-chair transfers, and tub/shower
transfers. He required moderate assistance with wheelchair ambulation. He was always incontinent of both
bowel and bladder. Record review of Resident #1's care plan, included a focus of falls, last revised on
05/21/24. The focus reflected Resident had the potential for falls related to unspecified injury at unspecified
level of cervical spinal cord. Interventions included, place the resident's call light within reach and
encourage the resident to use it for assistance as needed. Record review of a Grievance/Complaint Report,
dated 02/02/26, received by the Social Worker, and initiated by CNA E stated: CNA reported to Social
Worker concerns that another CNA, [CNA B], has been switching out [Resident #1's] call light cord/button
with a dummy one that does not work. The concern is that this is happening during evening/weekend shifts
when [CNA B] is working.Facility follow up was assigned to the Administrator/DON. A meeting was not held.

a Grievance/Complaint Report, dated 02/02/26, received by the Social Worker, and initiated by CNA E
stated: CNA reported to Social Worker concern that another CNA, [CNA B], has possibly been switching
out [Resident #4's] call light cord/button with a dummy one that does not work. It is believed this is
happening during evening/weekend shifts when [CNA B] is working.Facility follow-up was assigned to the

and provided by the Administrator on 02/12/26 at 11:36AM reflected: Date 02.05.2026Re: Dummy Call
LightsOn 02.02.2026 around 4:30 pm, Administrator received Grievances from Social Worker regarding
employees using a Fake Call Light.I asked staff about Dummy Call Lights, and they stated they had heard
about it, but they were not sure if it [was] true or who was doing it.On 02.03.2026, Administrator asked
Maintenance Director to assess all the call lights in the building, which he did. He found all Lights in working
order and functioning properly.I interviewed [Resident #4] and she says it happens sometimes in the
evening that her call light isn't answered timely. She wasn't too clear on the exact dates. She did not see
two call lights in her room, but says it takes a long time for anyone to answer the lights.I interviewed
[Resident #1], and he said it takes a long time to get his call light answered. He did not give the
Administrator a name, but his roommate, [Resident #2] stated that it was [CNA A] who was unplugging the
call Lights. I asked [Resident #2] if he had seen two call lights and he answered No but [The HR Director]
told him a few weeks ago that she saw two Call Lights in [Resident #1's] room.Administrator later returned
to [Resident #1's] room and found his Call Light tangled in the wheels of his wheelchair and the Call Light
was pulled out of the wall. Administrator asked for help from ADON and she assisted the Resident and
placed his Call Light back into his wall.I interviewed both [CNA B] and [CNA A] together on 02.04.2026.

into his room after breakfast and found a call light on the floor, not plugged in. I looked over at the call light
plug on the wall and saw another call light plugged in. I handed him the call light that was plugged in and
took the other one to the ADON office as I assumed it was broken. Record review of an email, dated

Yeah you do, in the other rooms.*The Administrator said So show me.*Family Member H said Show you?
You think I know where to find stuff in this place?. Family Member H then stood up and left the
Administrator's office. During an observation of a video recording provided to this surveyor by Family
Member H, dated 02/04/26 at 04:15PM, this surveyor observed the following:*The Administrator entered
the room and asked Family Member H, so show me what you are talking about.*Family Member H said I'm
talking about this call light.It is on the floor, and they are giving him one in his hand.*Family Member H
explained to the Administrator about the voicemail she received from the DON explaining CNA A and CNA
B were suspended. She told the Administrator that CNA A was present in the facility this day and at this
time. She said CNA A was assigned to Resident #1. So, what I want to know is why somebody who took a
call light from someone is still here right now and still with [Resident #1]. *The Administrator said, I'll have to
find that out for you, because I didn't know that. The Administrator then identified herself as the
Administrator after being asked by Family Member H. During an observation of a video recording provided
to this surveyor by Family Member H, dated 02/04/26 at 04:19PM, this surveyor observed the
following:*The Administrator can be seen speaking. She said she discussed the call lights with her
supervisor, the regional. we wrote a grievance about it. We are trying to figure it out. During an observation

surveyor observed the following:Family Member H can be heard approaching and speaking with a female
staff member. The staff member denied giving anyone a fake call light. She identified herself as CNA A.
During an observation of a video recording provided to this surveyor by Family Member H, dated 02/04/26
at 04:38PM, this surveyor observed the following:The DON can be seen on the video speaking. She said, I
gave my resignation to the director because of that. We did not know specific rooms. I did not realize that
girl was [CNA A]. I dropped the ball. We dropped the ball. I had every intention of going to the Administrator,
pulling her in there, and getting this resolved this morning when I left you that message. And then other
drama unfolded The DON then acknowledged that Family Member H reported the call light issue to her on
02/03/26 and they were made aware of the issue the morning of 02/03/26. The DON said she reported this
to the Administrator on 02/03/26. I gave them my resignation; I did not want them to pin me with patient
abandonment. During an observation on 02/12/26 at 12:53PM, this surveyor observed an extra call light in
a drawer at the central nurse's station. During an interview on 02/11/26 at 02:56PM, Resident #2 said that
he was Resident #1's roommate. He said CNA A moved Resident #1's call light out of his reach. He said he
goes over to Resident #1 when this happens and gives him the light back. He said that had been ongoing
for at least a month or so. He said he had reported this to the ADON, the Administrator, and the HR
Director. He said the Administrator spoke with him about the call light on 02/05/26. He said the
Administrator told him they were going to investigate it. He said the Administrator asked him who told him
about the call light. He said he reported to her that CNA A was plugging a fake call light into the wall on his
roommate's side. He said on 02/05/26, he was told CNA A was suspended. During an interview on

call lights on his side of the room. She said the one that was plugged in, was draped over between his bed
and bedside table. She said the other call light on his side of the room was not plugged in and was coiled
up on the floor. She said she did not notify the Administrator about this. She said she assumed that it was
not working, and they forgot to take the old one out when they changed it. She said she took it to the
ADON. She said she did not know at the time of the allegations of a fake call light being used. She said this
was towards the end of December. During an

interview on 02/12/26 at 9:25AM, the Administrator said she did not suspend CNA B related to the call light
incident. She said she spoke with Resident #2, and he said CNA A did it to Resident #1. During an
interview on 02/12/26 at 9:56AM, Resident #2 said Resident #1 got upset when he was not able to use his
call light. He said Resident #1 hollers and screams when he does not have his call light. He said he tries to
help Resident #1 when he can and he gives him the call light back. He said Resident #1 uses his call light a
lot. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 10:17AM, CNA D said she usually took care of Resident #1. She
said she had worked at this facility for about 7 months. She said a while back, she found an extra call light
on the floor in Resident #1's room. She said his regular call light was plugged into the wall and draped over
his bedside drawers. She said the other call light was not plugged in and it was in his hand. She said this
was about 2-3 months ago. She said when she found this, she went to the DON at the time. She said she
grabbed the extra call light and tried to turn it into the Maintenance Director, but he was already gone for
the day. She said she gave the light to the HR Director. She said she only saw this happen one time. She
said she has not seen this happen to any other residents, only Resident #1. She said she did not know who
it may have been. She said the schedule changes a lot. She said Resident #1 hits his call light a lot. She
said he hollers out when he does not have it or when the staff do not answer. She said she felt like the
person that did this, did it because Resident #1 calls a bunch and they did not want to let him call. She said
she felt like the resident may feel secluded or neglected when this happens. She said the resident is
forgetful and may not remember this happening. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:00AM, the
Administrator said CNA A was suspended on 02/04/26 at 5:20PM. She said she was aware of the call light
issue at that point. She said she was aware of a complaint of dummy call lights in the facility. She said she
had the Maintenance Director go check all the call lights. She said CNA A was named as a potentially
involved staff. She said Resident #2 told her a dummy call light was being used. She said she did not
suspend CNA B because she was not on the schedule that day. She said she learned about the call light
issue on the 2nd or 3rd of February. She said then she heard it could have been [CNA B] or [CNA A]. She
said she was told CNA A's name on the 2nd or 3rd of February. She said she talked to CNA B on the 4th of
February. She said CNA A worked on the 4th of February. She said the DON told the family of Resident #1
that they were going to suspend CNA A on the 4th. They did not suspend her until 5:20PM on the 4th of
February, for the incident regarding alleged verbal abuse of Resident #2. She said she also was told CNA B
may be involved on the 2nd or 3rd of February. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:20AM, the DON said
she was aware of the call light allegation. She said she was made aware of this during a clinical meeting on
the 3rd of February. She said she was told someone was doing this with the light. She said they had the
Maintenance Director go and check all the call lights. She said she was told the names of CNA A and CNA
B on the evening of the 3rd of February. She said the Family Member of Resident #1 notified her of this
issue and the names of the two CNAs and which rooms she heard of this. She said she did not suspend
CNA A or CNA B. She said they should have been suspended at this point. She said this could be
considered neglect or seclusion, especially because Resident #1's means of communication was taken
away. She said Resident #1 depended on staff for his needs and ADLs. She said she told the Administrator
on the 3rd of February of the allegations with the call light and the two identified staff. She said the
Administrator should have suspended CNA A and CNA B when she learned of the allegation. She said she
did not know if any of this was reported to HHSC. She said an allegation of neglect or seclusion should
have been reported to the state. She said CNA A worked on Resident #1's hall on the 4th of February. She
said there was a risk that CNA A could have replaced or moved Resident #1's call light while she was
working on the

4th of February. She said she did not feel like the Administrator did a thorough investigation. She said she
should have done the investigation as soon as she knew about it on the 3rd, not the 4th. She said she was
not sure if CNA B was suspended. She said she was not sure when CNA A was suspended. She said she
has not seen this issue personally with her eyes. She said no other resident complained about this, other
than Resident #1 and his family. She said in the time she had been in the facility, she was not aware of any
issues between Resident #1 and CNA B or CNA A. She said these failures put the residents at risk for
further neglect, seclusion, and mistreatment. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 11:35AM, the
Administrator said she received a grievance of an issue of fake call lights on the 2nd of February. She said
she heard CNA B's name on the 2nd. She heard CNA A's name on the 3rd. She said the complaint was
that a fake call light or extra call light was being used. She said her understanding was that the resident
would have a call light and it would not work. She said her understanding was that the light was pulled from
the wall. She said she thought it was impossible because if it was unplugged it would alarm. She said the
next day on the 3rd she was told, no they use two call lights. She said she was told that an extra call light
was being used and given to the resident. She said this could be considered an allegation of neglect or
seclusion. She said the two identified aides should have been suspended immediately. She said they were
not suspended on the 3rd of February. She said CNA B was not on the schedule around the time this was
going on. She said CNA B came back around 2-3 days after this. She said CNA A was allowed to work on
the 4th of February. She said CNA A was suspended later in the evening on the 4th related to a verbal
abuse allegation. She said allowi

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 that the resident environment remains
as free of accident hazards as is possible and each resident receives adequate supervision and assistance
devices to prevent accidents for 1 (Resident #1) of 12 residents reviewed for quality of care. The facility
failed to ensure CNA DD properly transferred Resident #1 on 02/10/26. This deficient practice could place
residents at risk of injury.Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 02/11/26,
reflected he was a [AGE] year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included cervical
disc disorder with myelopathy (a serious, progressive condition where degenerated discs and bone spurs
compress the spinal cord in the neck), Parkinson's disease (a progressive neurodegenerative disorder
caused by the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, leading to movement-related symptoms), dementia
(a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe
enough to interfere with daily life), cervical spinal cord injury (involves damage to the vertebrae or nerves in
the neck), neurogenic bowel (the loss of normal bowel function due to nerve damage), and neuromuscular
dysfunction of bladder (when a person lacks bladder control due to brain, spinal cord or nerve problems).
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/12/25, reflected he had a BIMS score
of 03, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. He was able to make himself understood, and he was
able to understand others. He had a functional limitation in range of motion for all four extremities. He
required supervision or touching assistance with eating and oral hygiene. He required substantial
assistance with toileting, bathing, upper body dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right, and sit to lying.
He was dependent on staff for lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, chair/bed-to-chair
transfers, and tub/shower transfers. He required moderate assistance with wheelchair ambulation. Record
review of Resident #1's care plan, included a focus of ADLs, last revised 05/21/24. The focus reflected,
Resident had an ADL self care performance deficit and was at risk for not having their needs met in a
timely manner, performance deficit is related to unspecified injury at unspecified level of cervical spinal
cord. Interventions included transfers Total/mechanical lift x2 (two person assist). Record review of Resident
#1's Visual/Bedside Kardex Report, dated 02/12/26, reflected Resident #1 required total assist with a
mechanical lift for transfers with two people. Record review of Resident #1's Post Fall Evaluation, dated
02/10/26, reflected: .In IDT meeting, after in person interview and reading CNA statement along with
resident's current POC, it is determined that resident is a total/[mechanical lift] x2. CNA did not check
Kardex prior to providing care to patient. In person education was completed at facility by DON and
employee advised he may be placed on suspension pending final results of investigation. Record review of
Resident #1's incident form titled Witnessed Fall, dated 02/10/26, reflected: .CNA came to the nurses
station and said he needed help getting resident off the floor. Upon arrival to room, resident found to be
sitting in floor next to bed. CNA stated he was transferring him from the wheel chair to his bed and his grip
was slipping so he started to lower him to the floor. CNA guided resident down to floor before calling for
assistance. 2. Record review of Resident #2's face sheet, dated 02/11/26, reflected he was a [AGE]
year-old male, admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included respiratory failure (Respiratory
failure is a condition where there's not enough oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in your body), sleep
apnea (a common, serious disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, causing low
blood oxygen and poor sleep quality), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (happens when the body cannot use
insulin correctly and sugar builds up in the blood). Record review of Resident #2's quarterly

MDS assessment, dated 01/09/26, reflected he had a BIMS score of 15, which indicated intact cognition.
He was able to make himself understood and he was able to understand others. During an observation of a
video recording provided to this surveyor by Family Member H, dated 02/10/26 at 06:44PM, this surveyor
observed the following:*Family Member H can be heard speaking with someone at the nurse's station.
Family Member H asked the nurse .So, was it just [CNA DD]?.was he supposed to have two people getting
him in and out of bed?*the nurse can be heard telling Family Member H: yes, I let him know, he should have
had two people.I guess he misjudged his capabilities. I let the DON know, and someone else will be taking
care of [Resident #1] tonight.*Family Member H said .was he supposed to be using the [mechanical lift]?
was there a [mechanical lift] available?*the nurse said Yes, there was a [mechanical lift] available. Record
review of CNA DD's statement, dated 02/10/26, reflected: I was trying to manually transfer the resident
because he did not have a [mechanical lift] pad under him. In the process I lost my grip and had to sit the
resident on the floor. I notified the charge nurse and she came down and helped get the resident in bed. On
the statement there were two sets of handwriting, and the above quote was written in the same handwriting
as CNA DD's signature. The additions to the statement are in a different handwriting, and included under
both arms Nurse [and] CNA use a sheet for transfer back to bed and He did try stand on lift but [due to]
contractures of both hands he could not hold his own weight up. During an interview on 02/11/26 at
12:09PM, Family Member H said she was a family member of Resident #1. She said on 02/10/26 at
06:13PM, she received a phone call from RN O. She said RN O sounded like she was out of breath. She
said the nurse had to call her and tell her that CNA DD was trying to put Resident #1 to bed and dropped
him. She said Resident #1 was unable to feel pain so she was worried he may have broken something. She
said she drove over to the facility to check on Resident #1. She said Resident #1 told her he hit his head.
During an interview on 02/11/26 at 02:41PM, Resident #1 said he had a fall on 02/10/26. He said CNA DD
was going to use a mechanical lift but did not. He said CNA DD was the only staff in the room. He said CNA
DD told him something was wrong with the mechanical lift. He said CNA DD did not explain to him what
was wrong with the mechanical lift. He said CNA DD tried to lift him with his hands and he was unable to
transfer him and then dropped him. He said he did not remember if CNA DD stayed or left the room. He
said someone came and helped get him off the floor. He said someone looked him over and made sure he
did not have any injuries. He said he did not think he had any injuries or pain from the fall. During an
interview on 02/11/26 at 02:56PM, Resident #2 said he was Resident #1's roommate. He said he was in the
room around the time that Resident #1 fell on [DATE]. He said he did not see what happened, but he heard
a loud noise and then he heard CNA DD call for help. He said the nurse came to check on Resident #1. He
said when he heard Resident #1 hit the floor he heard a scream. He said at the time of the transfer CNA
DD was the only staff in the room. He said the mechanical lifts were working again at that time. He said the
staff usually used a mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1. During an interview on 02/11/26 at 03:33PM,
RN O said she recalled Resident #1's fall on 02/10/26. He said CNA DD came to the nurse's station and
requested help because Resident #1 was on the floor. She said CNA DD told her I Dropped him. She said
she asked from the [mechanical lift]? and he said no. She said she went to the room and the resident was
lying on the floor next to the bed. She said his head was at the foot of the bed and his feet were toward the
head of the bed. She said she assessed him, checked for pain, asked him if he hit his head or heard
anything pop. Resident #1 denied this. She said she helped Resident #1 up to his bottom with his back to
the bed. She said her, another CNA, and CNA DD lifted Resident #1 to the bed. She said she thoroughly
looked him over. She said Resident #1 was normally a mechanical lift transfer. She said CNA DD did not
say why he did not use the

mechanical lift. She said she assessed Resident #1's neuro status. She said she called Resident #1's
family member as she was texting the DON and the doctor. She said she thought CNA DD knew better and
should have used the mechanical lift to transfer Resident #1. During an interview on 02/11/26 at 03:48PM,
the DON said she added to CNA DD's statement. She said she did not have him initial the changes. She
said the additions were what CNA DD said to her while writing the statement. During an interview on
02/12/26 at 09:13AM, the DON said she was notified about Resident #1's fall the evening of the 10th of
February. She said the nurse told her that the aide was trying to put Resident #1 in the bed and was unable
to carry him. She said the nurse did say that CNA DD did not use the mechanical lift. She said he was
supposed to use the mechanical lift. She said that the aide told her that the resident did not have a sling
under him and he did not check the Kardex. She said it was possible to put a sling on someone in the
wheelchair. She said she did not suspend him until the following morning, and he was allowed to work all
night. She said she was not sure if he should have been suspended at the time of the incident. She said
she was not aware of the policy. During an interview on 02/12/26 at 09:25AM, the Administrator said she
was not aware of Resident #1's fall with CNA DD until the morning of February 11th. She said she did not
know that the aide improperly transferred him until the morning of the 11th. She said she suspended CNA
DD on the morning of the 11th. She said the DON did not inform her of the extent of the fall on the evening
of February 10th. She said if she had known all the details at the time of the fall she would have suspended
him at that time. Record review of the facility's policy, Mechanical Lift, last revised on 09/08/23, reflected:
Purpose:To move immobile or obese patients for whom manual transfer poses potential for a resident
injury.NOTE: Although one (1) person can operate most models of hydraulic lifts, it is advisable to have two
(2) staff members present to stabilize and support the resident.
