What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 4 deficiencies, 3 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety 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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to be free from abuse for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for abuse. Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to protect Resident #1 from physical abuse when CNA A was slapped by Resident #1 across the face and CNA A slapped Resident #1 back across their face on 1/5/2025. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 01/22/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:43 PM. While the IJ was removed on 01/23/2025, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been trained on abuse/neglect. This failure placed residents at risk of abuse, trauma, and/or psychosocial harm. Findings included: Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including traumatic bran dysfunction (an injury to the brain caused by external mechanical force), dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities), senile degeneration of brain (progressive deterioration of brain tissue and function that occurs beyond what's considered normal aging), and age-related physical debility. Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 00 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #1's care plan, dated last reviewed 01/12/2025, reflected she had impaired cognitive function and impaired thought processes with interventions to cue, reorient, and supervise as needed, and to not correct her if she gets confused to reality. Review of a witness statement, dated 1/5/2025 and documented by CNA B, reflected the following: I witnessed [Resident #1] coming up to [CNA A] and hit her in the face [CNA A] slapped [Resident #1] on the left cheek and [Resident #1] sat by her afterwards. I went to the restroom afterwards came back got the administrators number called then went to inform the nurse. I did ask 2 coworkers on what to do I've never experienced situation before. Review of a written statement dated 1/5/25 and documented by CNA A, reflected the following: I was sitting on the brown table when [Resident #1] walked up to me and started talking to me from there she slapped me in my face from there I did reach and pushed her back with my hand in her face. Just to make myself clear I did not slap the resident on the face I put my heel of my hand on her left (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.

F 0600 cheek and pushed her back. When I realized I may contact with her I apologized to the resident. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Review of a video footage provided by the facility with a date/time stamp of 01/05/2025 11:51 am reflected CNA A seated on a bench/table with Resident #1 to her right-side adjusting items on the bench/table. Resident #1 then walked to the front of CNA A and the two appeared to be in conversation. Resident #1 could be seen moving both of her arms while talking and then raised her right arm and slapped CNA A across the right side of her face. CNA A was then seen raising her right arm all the way up and slapping Resident #1 back across the left side of her face and Resident #1 can be seen being turned about 45-degrees due to the slap. After that, Resident #1 and CNA A can be seen in conversation again, and Resident #1 turns to walk to her left when CNA A grabbed the back of Resident #1's shirt and pulled toward her, making Resident #1 fall into a seated position to the right side of CNA A on the bench/table. Residents Affected - Few Review of CNA A's time stamp card dated 01/05 revealed she clocked in at 06:02 AM and clocked out at 10:04 PM, working a total of 16.03 hours. During a phone interview on 01/22/2025 at 12:37 PM with RN A she stated that she was the charge nurse during the morning of 01/05/2025 and that CNA A did not tell her that she had slapped Resident #1 back. It was not until after CNA B contacted the ADM and then went to speak with RN A that she was notified that CNA A had slapped the resident. She stated that after she was informed by CNA B, she immediately went to go assess Resident #1, who exhibited no signs of trauma, and had no redness or signs of bruising. During a phone interview on 01/22/2025 at 12:47 PM with CNA B, she revealed from her phone log that she called the ADM on 01/05/2025 at 2:17 PM to notify him of the alleged abuse of Resident #1 by CNA A that happened earlier that day at 11:51 AM. CNA B was instructed by the ADM to then go and write a statement of the events that occurred as well as to inform the charge nurse. During a phone interview on 01/22/2025 at 1:00 PM with the ADM (who is the abuse coordinator), when asked why CNA A was allowed to finish her shift, he stated that at that point in time and after getting [CNA A's] statement it was unclear whether [the alleged abuse] was incidental or intentional, he had no concern about other residents being harmed at that time. CNA A had spoken with the charge nurse and there was no concern. CNA A was moved out of the MC unit and allowed to finish the remainder of her shift working another hall of the facility. CNA A was terminated the next day. Review of the facility's Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation policy dated last revised 01/08/2023 reflected the following: It is the policy of this facility to provide protections for the health, welfare and rights of each resident by developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident property. Physical Abuse includes, but is not limited to hitting, slapping, punching, biting, and kicking. It also includes controlling behavior through corporal punishment. Protection of Resident The facility will make efforts to ensure all residents are protected from physical and psychosocial harm, as well as additional abuse, during and after the investigation.

Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure CNA A was suspended/terminated or removed from working with all residents after she slapped a resident in the memory care unit, potentially causing additional abuse and/or emotional distress. An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 01/22/2025. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:43 PM. While the IJ was removed on 01/23/2025, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been trained on abuse/neglect. This failure placed residents at risk of abuse, trauma, and psychosocial harm. Findings included: Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including traumatic bran dysfunction (an injury to the brain caused by external mechanical force), dementia (a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities), senile degeneration of brain (progressive deterioration of brain tissue and function that occurs beyond what's considered normal aging), and age-related physical debility.
