Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Resident #1 called a staff member (CAN A) a CNA a derogative term while speaking to her and about her
and stated she was lazy and does not help him or give him showers when in fact she always gives him a
shower the same time each week. An incident occurred while in the shower the day prior to where this
resident had a bowel movement on the floor and was cursing at the CNA (CNA A) and calling her names
from what was reported by her, this nurse (LVN F) informed the CNA (CNA A) to make a statement on the
resident as to what exactly happened. Resident #1 called Family Member C and informed her of the
incident but gave her a different side of the story and Family Member C did not want to state exactly what
was said but would speak to management about the situation this week. This nurse (LVN F) is informing the
MD of the behaviors, and we are collecting a UA to rule out a possible UTI due to this not being his normal
behavior pattern. Will continue to monitor his behaviors or any changes and incidents that may occur.
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 1:35 PM, LVN F stated she was unsure of the exact date of the incident
but that she documented the incident in Resident #1's progress notes. LVN F said she was on lunch the day
of the incident when CNA A gave the resident a shower. She said CNA A pulled her to the side and
reported Resident #1 was cursing at her because he had a bowel movement during the shower. She said
CNA A reported that Resident #1 called her a bitch. LVN F said she instructed CNA A to write a statement.
She said she did not follow up to see if CNA A wrote a statement. LVN F said did spoke to Resident #1 the
day of the incident and checked to see if he was ok. LVN F said Resident #1 was upset and called CNA A a
fat bitch and called her lazy. LVN F said CNA A worked her entire shift the day of the incident. LVN F stated
later the same day that Family Member C pulled her to the side and reported to her that CNA A had called
Resident #1 a name. LVN F said Family Member C never specified what names CNA A allegedly called
Resident #1. LVN F said Family Member C stated she did not want to involve LVN F. LVN F said Family
Member C was upset when she reported the incident, but she believed it was because Resident #1 was
upset. LVN F said she did not report the incident to the ADM and DON because they were not present in
the facility when it occurred on the weekend. She stated the following Monday after the incident she did
report it in the morning standup meeting. LVN F stated the ADM and DON marked it down and made note
of it. LVN F said she would consider Family Member C's report to her an allegation of abuse, and at the
moment, Family Member C was listening to Resident #1's side. LVN F said she had been trained on the
facility's ANE policy. She said if she suspected or witnessed abuse, she had been trained to report abuse to
the ADON right away. LVN F said there was no reason why she did not report it immediately but thought
they (she and Family Member C) were waiting on the urine sample as they thought Resident #1 was acting
out of character.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 9:54 AM, Family Member C stated on a Friday night on 08/30/24,
Resident #1 told her what happened between him, and CNA A. Family Member C said Resident #1 had
diarrhea. On 08/31/24, CNA A showered Resident #1, and a verbal incident occurred. She stated Resident
#1 told her that he had a bowel movement while in the shower, and CNA A said, Omg, this is nasty. I am
not cleaning it up. She said Resident #1 said that CNA G started to clean up the feces, and eventually, CNA
A began to help. Family Member C said Resident #1 stated this was the second time CNA A had humiliated
him. Family Member C said she reported the concern to LVN F. She said she was told by LVN F that she
would address CNA A but was unsure if she had spoken with CNA A or not. She said when she told LVN F
about the incident, she was concerned and expressed that she had concerns about verbal abuse. She said
no one ever followed up with her about the incident.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 1:55 PM, Resident #1 stated that CNA A was mean to him. He said
CNA A was slow and lazy and yelled at people. He said he had a bowel movement while in the shower,

and CNA A stated she would not clean up the bowel movement. Resident #1 said CNA A was mean about
it and could tell by how she said the statement. Resident #1 said he called and told Family Member C about

happened again.
Residents Affected - Few

deficit) and Alzheimer's disease with an early onset (memory loss).

management, specifically ADON D and ADON E, regarding CNA A. She said a week ago (unknown
specific date) she noticed Resident #2's coffee was being used faster than normal. CNA B stated that she
reported her concern to both ADONs (D and E) and was told that they would look into the situation. CNA B
said she had heard things about CNA A related to her resident care, specifically about not taking residents
to the toilet like she was supposed to. She stated she did not report it to the DON or ADM because she did
not see it firsthand. CNA B said she was unsure if CNA A was placed on leave or if the incident was
investigated.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 3:44 PM, ADON D stated he had no concerns with CNA A regarding
residents, but CNA B expressed concern. ADON D stated CNA B reported to him (date not specified) that
she and CNA A had a verbal altercation concerning coffee that belonged to a resident. ADON D stated that
he asked both staff what happened and deduced that it pertained more to professionalism and that he
verbally counseled CNA A regarding the matter. ADON D stated he did not look further into the situation
because there was no coffee around when he spoke with the staff. He stated he did not speak with
Resident #2 about his coffee. He stated that he expected the abuse policy to be followed and that if staff
witnessed or suspected abuse, they should report it immediately.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 4:03 PM, Resident #2 did not reveal any additional indications of
deficient practice.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 4:42 PM, ADON E stated she had not received any complaints about

of ANE. She stated no one reported any ANE allegations in their morning meetings. She said she was
unaware of an incident that involved CNA E and Resident #2's coffee. ADON E stated she was unaware of
the incident that allegedly occurred between Resident #1 and CNA A. ADON E stated she had been trained
on the facility abuse policy and that any suspicion of ANE should be reported to the ADM so that an
investigation can be conducted. She stated if there were an allegation of ANE, the AP

would be suspended until everything was cleared. ADON E stated she was unaware of any recent
investigations regarding CNA A. She said she believed the reason the incidents was not investigated was
because it was not reported. She said the purpose of following the abuse policy was to prevent abuse and
injuries. ADON E stated that she could not think of a reason why staff would not report incidents of ANE.
She stated all staff were responsible for following the ANE policies. She stated she could not name a
potential negative outcome because it depends on what was reported. She said their system to monitor
ANE was through in-services with staff.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 4:57 PM, the ADM stated that he was unaware that there were any
allegations of abuse regarding Resident #1. He stated in a morning meeting (unsure of the date) that it was
brought to their attention that Resident #1 had used racial slurs when talking to the staff. He stated his
focus when it was brought to him was how the CNAs responded. He stated it was told to him that the CNAs
did not respond to Resident #1. The ADM stated he did not speak to Resident #1 or any staff about the
incident but knew shortly after the resident was diagnosed with a UTI. The ADM stated he was unaware
that Family Member C had verbalized concern. The ADM stated he was unaware of an incident between
CNA A and B over Resident #2's coffee. The ADM stated that ADON E and CNA B brought this to his
attention on 09/11/24. The ADM stated that when it was brought to his attention on 09/11/24, he was only
told about the verbal altercation between CNAs A and B, not about Resident #2's coffee potentially being
used for other residents and staff. The ADM stated he was unaware of both allegations and expected all
allegations of ANE to be reported to him as the abuse coordinator as soon as possible. He stated the
potential negative outcome was abuse could happen without them knowing. The ADM stated he had been
trained on the facility abuse policy. The ADM stated he had not observed CNA A being rude or mistreating
residents. The ADM stated all staff were responsible for reporting allegations of abuse.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 5:06 PM, the DON stated she was unaware of the incident involving
CNAs A and B over Resident #2's coffee. The DON also said she was unaware of the incident that involved
Resident #1 and CNA A. The DON stated the only incident she was aware of was that Resident #1 became
upset when CNA A took her breaks with another staff member. The DON stated the potential negative
outcome of not following the abuse policy was that the allegation would not be investigated if the staff did
not report it. The DON stated she did not feel these instances were not the case because these instances
were rumors. She said even rumors of ANE should have been reported so that the allegations could be
reported. The DON said she had been trained on the facility abuse policy. She said all staff are trained on
the abuse policy upon hire, annually, and each time there was an allegation of abuse. She said she had not
observed CNA A be rude to residents or staff. The DON said that it was her expectation that all allegations
of abuse should be reported to the ADM and then to her if he was unavailable. She said everyone was
responsible for following the abuse policies. She said if the incident had been reported, the AP would have
been suspended until the allegation was investigated.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 5:21 PM, CNA A stated she was unsure of the date of the incident, but
the incident with Resident #1 occurred on or about a week before her interview. CNA A stated she
proceeded to give Resident #2 a shower after lunch. She stated Resident #1 had a bowel movement and
explained that she needed to clean up the mess. She stated the resident then proceeded to call her a
nigger and a bitch. CNA A stated Resident #1 said he had already taken too long to shower. She stated that
Resident #1 was mad. She said that after this, she continued to shower Resident #1. She said that as soon
as the incident happened, she reported it to LVN F. She stated that she had even asked therapy if they had
any issues with Resident #1. She stated LVN F wanted her to write a statement. She said she did not write
a statement. She reported the incident to ADON D. She said she

believed LVN F wrote a statement but ultimately decided to check Resident #1 for a UTI. CNA A stated no
one came to her and asked her any questions about the incident outside of her reporting the incident to
LVN F and ADON D. She said LVN F told her that Family member C was upset about Resident #1 wanting
his shower at a certain time. She stated she had never been suspended pending investigation. Still, she
believed she did everything she was supposed to by letting the charge nurse and ADON D know. She
stated that regarding Resident #2, CNA B assumed she was using Resident #2's coffee, but that was not
true. She said she had never used Resident #2's coffee. She stated that ADON D talked to her about using
the right coffee.
During an interview on 09/11/24 at 5:36 PM, CNA G stated regarding the incident in the shower room
involving Resident #1 and CNA, she did not know much about it as she walked in at the very end. She
stated she heard Resident #1 calling CNA A a bitch while she was picking up his bowel movement off the
floor. CNA G stated she had no concerns with ANE regarding CNA A. CNA G stated no one had talked to
her about the incident in the shower room. She stated that regarding Resident #2's coffee, CNA B accused
them of using Resident #2's coffee. She stated they never used them. She stated no one came to her and
asked any questions about Resident #2's coffee. She said she had been trained on ANE and had no
concerns regarding the facility.
