F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some and provide cues when necessary and stop and return, if agitated. Another focused area was Resident #12 has the potential to demonstrate physical behaviors. Some of the interventions were to analyze the time, the places, circumstances, triggers, and what escalate to behaviors and document. Communication provided with physical and verbal cues to alleviate, anxiety, give positive feedback, assist with verbalization of source of agitation, assist to set goals for more pleasant behavior, encourage seeking out of staff when agitated. When the resident becomes agitated intervene before agitation, escalated, remove from source of distress, engage calmly in conversation calmly, and if responses or aggressive staff were to walk away calmly and approach later. Resident # 12 also had a focus area of potential to demonstrate verbal abusive behaviors, with some of the same interventions in place. Record review of the facility Provider Investigation Report dated 8/10/23 indicated a Hospice CNA alleged that LVN C was unkind to Resident #12. The Report contained a statement written by LVN C that stated: The Hospice CNA asked her to assist with Resident #12 because she (Resident #12) was combative, and she (Resident #12) had slapped the aide in the face on a previous occasion. The LVN wrote they took Resident #12 into the shower room and removed her clothes. LVN C said the resident was screaming, and LVN C placed her hand over Resident #12's mouth, her intent was to distract Resident #12. LVN C said she often joked with the resident. She said she (LVN C) jokily asked the aide if the water was cold. The nurse said the Resident #12 did not present any type of respiratory distress. The report indicated LVN C said she had known the resident prior to her admission to the facility and was only joking. Record review of the Provider Investigation Report contained a statement from the Hospice CNA dated 8/10/23 at 12:43 p.m. which stated. I was prepping PT (Resident #12) for a shower, I required assistance with undressing due to PT disability. I stuck my head around the and there were no aides, so I asked the nurse. She said, Sure let's go. PT (Resident #12) was very combative and not cooperating. The nurse was a little abrasive while removing PTs, shirt, once the shirt was removed, I turned my back to PT (Resident #12) and the nurse (LVN C) to ensure safe water temp. Pt was screaming very loudly while my back was turned. Pt very abruptly stopped screaming. Approximately 10- 15 seconds. Later after PT stopped screaming, I turned back toward PT to fine nurse standing behind Pt with her hand firmly grasping PT face covering her mouth and partially covering her nose. When I (Hospice CNA) looked at the nurse, she said I'm sick of hearing this, Shit. At that point she let go of her face. I quickly checked the water temp again and reached for PT. The Nurse then aggressively shoved the PT toward the running water and said is it cold I said No! The with a sarcastic tone the nurse said Damn she then asked if I needed anything and left the room. Record review of the facility Investigation Summary indicated staff members, and all residents (on the secure unit) that LVN C cared for were interviewed on 8/10/23. They said they had never witnessed any misconduct by LVN C. There were no reported complaints, but many compliments. It was voiced that LVN C had humor and relationships with the resident she cared for. Resident #12 told LVN C I love You. The administrator checked in on Resident #12 every day since the incident and she had showed no signs of distress. The investigation findings were unfounded. An in-service was conducted with all staff on abuse and neglect. Resident #12's needs will continue to be anticipated and met and she will be treated with kindness and professionalism. The Report also had a disciplinary action indicating LVN C was suspended pending investigation findings. During an interview on 9/18/23 at 2:40 p.m. the Administrator said on the incident that was reported to the State Agency regarding LVN C and Resident #12 was unfounded. She said the Hospice aide that reported the incident had misperceived the situation. The Administrator said she had interviewed LVN C, the residents on the secured unit, and other staff about LVN C's behaviors and they all said (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675801 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 41 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675801 B.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some only good things about LVN C. She said Resident #12 said she loved LVN C. The Administrator said LVN C had told her she was only playing with Resident #12 when she put her hand over her mouth, and jokingly said was that water still cold before motioning to push the resident into the water. The Administrator said Resident #12 was a dementia resident on the secured unit and did not have any effects from the incident, and she had unfounded the allegation of abuse. During an interview on 9/18/23 at 4:45 p. LVN C said she had worked at the facility for about 27 years. She said Resident #12 was not happy with herself or anyone else. She said she had been working 8 shifts a week and was tired but that was no excuse for what she did on 8/10/23. She said she worked 16 hours on MWF and on TTH she worked 8 hours. She said the Hospice aide asked for some assistance with giving Resident #12 a shower. She had gone into the shower and Resident #12 was just hollering at the top of her voice. LVN C said she put her hand over Resident #12's mouth, and she said it was wrong. LVN C said she knew she should not have put her hand over the resident's mouth and regretted it as soon as she did it. She said it did no good anyway because when she removed her hand the resident resumed screaming. She said she had jokingly asked the aide if the water was cold and pretended like she was going to push Resident #12 into the cold water. She said if she had seen an aide put their hand over any resident's mouth, she would have broken their arm trying to remove it from the resident's mouth. She said if she had seen someone doing what she did she would have reported it also, it was wrong. The nurse said Resident #12 had not hit her she was just screaming. During an interview and observation on 9/18/23 beginning at 7:30 p.m., CNA K said Resident #12 would become aggressive with staff and residents. Observation of she was speaking Resident #12 had said she wanted to go to bed. Observation showed Resident #12 sitting in the middle of the floor in her wheelchair, and she started to scream, loudly. CNA K told Resident 12 We will put you to bed in a minute and she (Resident #12) became quiet. During a telephone interview on 9/19/23 at 9:11 a.m., Hospice CNA said that on 8/10/23 Hospice CNA had asked LVN C to assist her giving Resident #12 a shower. They were in the shower room and the resident was in the chair just screaming and screaming at the top of her voice. She had her back turned and when she turned around, LVN C had her hand over Resident 12's mouth, just for a few seconds. She said LVN C did not appear to be intentionally trying to hurt the resident, it was not aggressively done or in anger. It was kind of in a playful manner. She said it was inappropriate but not abusive. She said once she took her hand off the resident, then LVN C asked if the water was still cold. The LVN told the resident she was going to put her in the cold water in a playful manner, but the water was no longer cold, and she did not put the resident in the water. During an interview on 9/19/23 at 1:30 p.m., the Administrator and HR person said LVN C was suspended one day on 8/10/23 in the middle of a shift. The Administrator said she determined no abuse occurred and LVN C retuned to work the next day. They paid her for the lost time. She was working a double that day and they had someone to finish her shift. During an interview and record review on 9/20/23 beginning at 8:47 a.m., Hospice CNA was asked about some of the things she put in her statement that she did not reveal in her interview. She said if she wrote in her statement that LVN C cursed, then she probably did. She said now that she thought back, yes LVN C did appear a little agitated at the resident on 8/10/23. However, the Hospice CNA said she felt bad about reporting what she thought was abuse at the time. She started to cry and said she really liked LVN C, but she felt it needed reporting at the time. She said now she was not sure. She said she worked with LVN C whenever she had to go to the secure unit and LVN C was always nice and friendly. She did not want to cause any issues for her.

Residents Affected - Some Record review of the facility Provider Investigation Report dated 8/10/23 indicated a Hospice CNA alleged that LVN C was unkind to Resident #12. The Report contained a statement written by LVN C that stated: The Hospice CNA asked her to assist with Resident #12 because she (Resident #12) was combative, and she (Resident #12) had slapped the aide in the face on a previous occasion. The LVN wrote they took Resident #12 into the shower room and removed her clothes. LVN C said the resident was screaming, and LVN C placed her hand over Resident #12's mouth, her intent was to distract Resident #12. LVN C said she often joked with the resident. She said she (LVN C) jokily asked the aide if the water was cold. The nurse said the Resident #12 did not present any type of respiratory distress. The report indicated LVN C said she had known the resident prior to her admission to the facility and was only joking. Record review of the Provider Investigation Report contained a statement from the Hospice CNA dated 8/10/23 at 12:43 p.m. which stated. I was prepping PT (Resident #12) for a shower, I required assistance with undressing due to PT disability. I stuck my head around the and there were no aides, so I asked the nurse. She said, Sure let's go. PT (Resident #12) was very combative and not cooperating. The nurse was a little abrasive while removing PTs, shirt, once the shirt was removed, I turned my back to PT (Resident #12) and the nurse (LVN C) to ensure safe water temp. Pt was screaming very loudly while my back was turned. Pt very abruptly stopped screaming. Approximately 10- 15 seconds. Later after PT stopped screaming, I turned back toward PT to fine nurse standing behind Pt with her hand firmly grasping PT face covering her mouth and partially covering her nose. When I (Hospice CNA) looked at the nurse, she said I'm sick of hearing this, Shit. At that point she let go of her face. I quickly checked the water temp again and reached for PT. The Nurse then aggressively shoved the PT toward the running water and said is it cold I said No! The with a sarcastic tone the nurse said Damn she then asked if I needed anything and left the room. Record review of the facility Investigation Summary indicated staff members, and all residents (on the secure unit) that LVN C cared for were interviewed on 8/10/23. They said they had never witnessed any misconduct by LVN C. There were no reported complaints, but many compliments.

The administrator checked in on Resident #12 every day since the incident and she had showed no signs of distress. The investigation findings were unfounded. An in-service was conducted with all staff on abuse and neglect. Resident #12's needs will continue to be anticipated and met and she will be treated with kindness and professionalism.

LVN C said she knew she should not have put her hand over the resident's mouth and regretted it as soon as she did it. She said it did no good anyway because when she removed her hand the resident resumed screaming. She said she had jokingly asked the aide if the water was cold and pretended like she was going to push Resident #12 into the cold water. She said if she had seen an aide put their hand over any resident's mouth, she would have broken their arm trying to remove it from the resident's mouth. She said if she had seen someone doing what she did she would have reported it also, it was wrong. The nurse said Resident #12 had not hit her she was just screaming.

She had her back turned and when she turned around, LVN C had her hand over Resident 12's mouth, just for a few seconds. She said LVN C did not appear to be intentionally trying to hurt the resident, it was not aggressively done or in anger. It was kind of in a playful manner. She said it was inappropriate but not abusive. She said once she took her hand off the resident, then LVN C asked if the water was still cold. The LVN told the resident she was going to put her in the cold water in a playful manner, but the water was no longer cold, and she did not put the resident in the water.
