to the DON and ADM about CNA B being mean to Resident #7, but nothing happened. She said the first
time she reported CNA B was probably in November 2023. She said the DON told her CNA B would not be
Resident #7's CNA. She said as time went on CNA B still was Resident #7's aide. She said the family kind
of dealt with CNA B still being Resident #7's aide because the facility was short staffed. She said around
December 2023, AE #1 called her at home and told her she needed to check on Resident #7 because CNA
B was mistreating her. She said AE #1 told her she reported CNA B's mistreatment to the DON. She said
when she filed the complaint on 12/26/23, she told the DON that CNA B said rude and hurtful things to her
family member. She said she told the DON, CNA B always commented on Resident #7's weight. She said
CNA B also told Resident #7, nobody care is she told her family about things because if her family really
cared about Resident #7, they would not have put her in nursing home. She said CNA B also said things
like I don't have time to be doing this or I'm busy, so I ain't doing that. She said the family had been pretty
much just accepting any care that was given from CNA B, because nothing was being done. She said CNA
N and the DON were pretty cool with each other so maybe that was why nothing happened.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 10:20 a.m., Resident #7's family member #2 said Resident #7 told her
CNA B was rough, mean, and talked to her in a demeaning way. She said CNA B behavior upset Resident

During an interview on 02/15/24 at 11:00 a.m., Resident #7's family member #3 said Resident #7
complained CNA B was rude to her and does not treat her right. He said Resident #7 complained CNA B
commented on her weight and told him I can't stand her!

hurt arm. AR said CNA B pushes you or throws you in the bed when she's transferring you. AR said she/he
was afraid of CNA B. AR body was shaking in the chair and increased as she/he talked.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 11:22 a.m., AE #1 said CNA B was mean and aggressive with cares. AE
#1 said CNA B picked on Resident #7 all the time. AE #1 said CNA B made Resident #7 cry sometimes
because of how bad she [CNA B] talked about her. AE #1 said Resident #7 had behaviors of throwing
herself out of the bed or wheelchair, but it was because she [Resident #7] was so mad and frustrated with
CNA B picking on her all day long. AE #1 said she/he heard CNA B say things like, wipe your own a**! AE
#1 said CNA B took Resident # 5's food away from him after he got back from dialysis, because sometimes
he would be hungry and eat a lot of food since he did not eat at dialysis. AE #1 said she [CNA B]
complained in front of Resident #5 if he ate too much, he was going to sh** everywhere. AE #1 said another
resident [AR] complained CNA B was rude and rough with her/him, but the resident was too scared to
report it because of retaliation. AE #1 said the resident [AR #5] was so scared about reporting CNA B, the
resident [AR] was literally shaking from the fear of CNA B. AE #1 said she/he reported the resident [AR]
complaint about CNA B's treatment to a nurse and the nurse said CNA B was being investigated. AE #1

resident's complaint to LVN G, and she said CNA B treatment to resident had been reported. She said the
residents being abused probably felt sad, disgusted, or isolated themselves. She said she had abuse
training and knew the ADM was the abuse coordinator.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 1:20 p.m., the DON said she had known CNA B for a while and
sometimes her tone was taken the wrong way. She said sometimes CNA B's tone and demeanor was
aggressive. She said CNA B's aggressive tone or demeanor was not directed at the residents. She said it

first report abuse allegations to the ADM and then her (DON). She said staff should report abuse allegation
to the ADM or DON, immediately.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 2:09 p.m., the ADM said he was the abuse coordinator. He said CNA B
had employee disciplinary reports on file. He said CNA B had been monitored due to the previous abuse
allegations by doing rounds. He said he expected staff to immediately notify him of any allegation of abuse.
He said staff were told in orientation and in-serviced on the abuse policy. He said residents were educated
on reporting abuse allegations in resident council meetings and he had an open-door policy. He said he
had communicated with staff and resident that retaliation would not occur if they reported allegations of
abuse. CNA B's employee disciplinary reports were requested during the interview and not received before
exit. CNA B's employee disciplinary reports were received 6 days after exit.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 2:26 p.m. the SW said she was responsible for documenting resident's
grievances on the grievance/complaint log and report. She said the grievance then went to department
heads the complaint was related to. She said she did not remember receiving a complaint/grievance about
abuse from a resident. She said she had received a complaint from Resident #4, but it was a CNA but not
CNA B.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 2:30 p.m., the ADM said CNA B had been mentioned in February 2024
grievances by Resident #4. He said he had not given February's grievance report when requested at
entrance because he was still investigating the allegations.
During an interview on 02/23/24 at 3:26 p.m., the ADM said typically Social Services wrote up any
grievance or complaints and brought them to him to be resolved. He said he then went to the appropriate
department heads for resolution. He said he was working through the grievances and there were 3 - 4 that
had not been resolved at the time of the initial complaint investigation. He said it had only been 2 - 3 days
since he had received the grievances when the initially investigation started on 02/14/24.

facility by CNA B. She said another resident reported to her CNA B was rough, talked harsh, and made
them go to bed when she wanted them to. She said she had reported the resident's complaint to LVN G but
not the DON or ADM, and she said CNA B's treatment to residents had been reported. She said which was
why she did not report the complaints to the DON and ADM. She said she had abuse training and knew the
ADM was the abuse coordinator.
Unable to interview AE #1 due to AE #1 calling from an undisclosed phone number.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 1:20 p.m., the DON said staff had not recently told her of any residents
complaining about CNA B's care or demeanor. She said staff should first report abuse allegations to the
ADM and then her (DON). She said staff should report abuse allegations to the ADM or DON, immediately.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 2:09 p.m., the ADM said he was the abuse coordinator. He said he
expected staff to immediately notify him of any allegation of abuse. He said abuse allegation had been
reported to him a couple months ago in November or December 2023. He said he did not recall the
resident and staff involved in the allegation, but he had made a self-report. He said CNA B had been
verbally counseled a few times regarding how she spoke to residents. He said CNA B had been accused of
abuse during full book survey in June 2023. He said he did not know the results of investigation but if CNA
B was guilty, she would not still be working at the facility. He said CNA B had employee disciplinary reports
on file. He said CNA B had been monitored due to the previous abuse allegations by doing rounds. He said
staff were told in orientation and in-serviced on the abuse policy.

understood and had the ability to understand others. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had adequate
hearing, clear speech, and severely impaired vision. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had a BIMS score of
14 which indicated intact cognition. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had functional limitation in range of
motion to her upper and lower extremities on one side. The MDS indicated Resident #7 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for toileting hygiene, shower/bathe
self, dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right and dependent for chair/bed-to-chair transfer, toilet
transfer, and tub/shower transfer.

potential for injury related to falls due to unsteady gait, history of previous fall, visual deficits, attempt to
stand unassisted, and loses balance easily. Intervention included may have low bed (12/10/23) and place
bed in lowest position while resident is in bed (12/13/23).

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility has failed to ensure that the resident environment
remains as free of accident hazards as possible and provide supervision to prevent avoidable accidents for
1 of 3 residents reviewed for accidents. (Residents #7)
The facility failed to ensure CNA A provided Resident #7 incontinence care with staff assist x2 per the care
plan, which resulted in a fall on 02/08/24.
The facility failed to ensure CNA B provided Resident #7 a bed bath with staff assist x2 per the care plan,
which resulted in a fall with a laceration to the right foot and probable fracture to the fifth toe on 02/09/24.
The facility failed to ensure MR D was trained to operate the mechanical lift for Resident #7's transfer on
02/09/24.
These failures could place residents at risk of injury from accident and hazards.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #7's face sheet printed on 02/15/24 indicated Resident #7 was a [AGE] year-old
female and admitted on [DATE] and latest return on 02/15/24 with diagnoses including nontraumatic
intracranial hemorrhage (brain bleed), flaccid hemiplegia affecting left side non dominant (the affected
extremity exhibits decreased muscle tone and cannot be actively moved by the patient), legal blindness,
muscle weakness, muscle wasting and atrophy (shortening), body mass index 50.0-59.9 (morbidly obese)
and laceration to right foot.
Record review of Resident #7's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #7 was
understood and had the ability to understand others. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had adequate
hearing, clear speech, and severely impaired vision. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had a BIMS score of
14 which indicated intact cognition. The MDS indicated Resident #7 had functional limitation in range of
motion to her upper and lower extremities on one side. The MDS indicated Resident #7 required
substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort) for toileting hygiene, shower/bathe
self, dressing, personal hygiene, roll left and right and dependent for chair/bed-to-chair transfer, toilet
transfer, and tub/shower transfer. The MDS indicated Resident #7 was always incontinent for urine and
bowel.
Record review of Resident #7's care plan dated 06/26/22, edited on 02/14/24 indicated Resident #7 has
potential for injury related to falls due to unsteady gait, history of previous falls, visual deficits, attempt to
stand unassisted, and loses balance easily. Interventions included staff to assist x2 with bed mobility,
transfer, and incontinent care.
Record review of Resident #7's care plan dated 06/10/22, edited 02/14/24 indicated Resident #7 had an
ADL self-care performance deficit and limited physical mobility. Intervention included bathing and bed
mobility required extensive assistance.

During an interview and observation in a local hospital, on 02/14/24 at 10:35 a.m., Resident #7 was sitting
up in the hospital bed with her left arm contracted. She said CNA B was giving her a bed bath by herself
and turned her on her side and left. She said the next thing she knew she was on the floor. She said she
was trying to reach for the side rails, but CNA B said there were no side rails.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 3:18 p.m., LVN C said she had recently started at the facility. She said
she worked the 6am-6pm shift. She said she was the nurse who worked the two days Resident #7 had falls.
She said on Thursday morning (02/08/24), CNA A was providing incontinence care for Resident #7 by
herself. She said 2 people are needed for Resident #7's care. She said when she arrived after the fall that
involved CNA A, on 02/08/24, Resident #7 was on the right side of the bed with the bed mattress partially
underneath her. She said CNA A must have moved Resident #7's bed from against the wall to provide care.
She said Resident #7's fall mat was on the left side of the bed but thankfully when Resident #7 fell, the
mattress partially slid with her. She said Resident #7 slid out of her wheelchair sometime after lunch on the
same day. She said on Friday (02/09/24), she was told by CNA B, that her and another staff from laundry
put the resident back to bed because Resident #7 was about to get a bed bath. She said CNA B said
Resident #7 reached for the rail, which she did not have on her bed, and fell out of the bed. She said
Resident #7 was blind and had learned Resident #7 had a history of falling. She said when she arrived after
the fall, the mechanical lift pad was on the bed and Resident #7 was on the left side of the bed. She said
Resident #7's was bleeding, and they could not figure out what caused the foot to bleed.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 3:45 p.m., CNA A said she had been working at the facility since 18th of
last month (January 2024). She said she worked the 6am-2pm shift. She said she had provided incontinent

towards her right side to change her, and she reached out for the rail and fell. She said Resident #7's body
when she fell made the mattress partially fall with her. She said Resident #7's right side of the bed was
away from the wall. She said after the incident Resident #7 complained of shoulder pain but refused to go
the emergency room. She said Resident #7 just wanted her pain medication. She said turning Resident #7
to the right side was hard but her left side was easier. She said she thought the care plans told staff what
assistance the resident needed for ADLs. She said she had not seen Resident #7's care plan to know the
amount of assistance she required. She said she had not been shown how to access the care plans on the
facility's electronic charting system. She said when she started working at the facility, she was not told the
amount of assistance Resident #7 required. She said having the right number of staff members for ADL
care prevented falls. She said falls risked the resident passing away, hitting their head, bleeding, or hurting
something.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 4:07 p.m., LVN G said she had worked at the facility for 22 years. She
said Resident #7 required 2 people for turning and changing. She said she observed staff to ensure the
correct amount of assistance was provided to residents. She said if 2 CNAs were not available to assist,
she offered to help. She said not having the correct amount of assistance for ADL care could cause injuries
and kill them.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 4:14 p.m., CNA E said she had worked at the facility for 5 years on the
2pm-10pm shift. She said Resident #7 required 2 people to put her back to bed but 1 person for changing.
She said sometimes Resident #7 could help on one side. She said she did not know what Resident #7's
care plan said her assistance was for ADLs. She said she had access to Resident #7's care plan on the
electronic charting system. She said not having enough assistance for ADL care could cause falls. She said
falls could result in injuries.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 4:35 p.m., LVN H said she had been working at the facility since May
2023. She said Resident #7 required 1 person for turning or changing on a good day. She said if Resident
#7 had behaviors, she required 2 people. She said she believed Resident #7's care plan said she required
2 people. She said care plans were accessed on the electronic charting system. She said she made
observations of CNAs to ensure they used the required number of staff for ADLs. She said if staff did not
use the required number of staff for ADLs, falls could happen. She said the falls could result in injuries.
During an interview on 02/14/24 at 4:14 p.m., CNA B said she had been employed at the facility for a year.
She said she normally worked the 2pm-10pm shift. She said she was the CNA involved in Resident #7's fall
on Friday (02/09/24). She said she and MR D transferred Resident #7 to her bed. She said MR D left the
room to put the mechanical lift away and was coming back. She said she was getting supplies ready for
Resident #7's bed bath. She said she turned her back on Resident #7 to put water in a basin. She said
while she was putting water in the basin, she told Resident #7, do not roll over. She said suddenly Resident
#7 was on the floor on the left side of her bed. She said she asked Resident #7 what happened, and
Resident #7 said I was reaching for the rail. She said Resident #7 required 2 people for ADL care. She said
not having the required staff placed residents at risk for falls and hurting themselves.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 10:30 a.m., CNA J said she had been working for the facility since June
2022 but had previously worked at the facility for 4 years. She said she worked all shifts at the facility. She
said she worked the middle hall (Rooms 201-216) and sometimes the B long hall (room [ROOM
NUMBER]-228). She said Resident #7 required 2 people assistance with cares. She said not having the
required staff placed residents at risk to hurt themselves.

During an interview on 02/15/24 at 10:47 a.m., LVN K said she had been working at the facility since 2021.
She said she was prn and had worked all the halls. She said Resident #7 required 2 people for cares. She
said her left arm was contracted and flaccid. She said Resident #7 was completely blind and staff had to tell
her where things were placed and push her in the wheelchair. She said the required number of staff needed
for ADLs was in the care plan. She said all staff had access to resident's care plans. She said without the
required number of staff, there was a risk of residents falling or rolling out of the bed. She said residents
could develop brain bleeds or fractures from falls or rolling out of the bed. She said nurses, ADON, and
DON should monitor the CNAs to ensure they used the required number of staff.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 10:57 a.m., MA L said she had worked at the facility for a year and half.
She said she worked the 6am-2pm shift on all the halls. She said MR D was not a CNA and normally only
passed out food trays. She said she did not think she should be using the mechanical lift.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 11:00 a.m., Resident #7's family member #3 said when Resident #7
mentioned rails, she was referring to the bed frame. Family member #3 said Resident #7 had been blind
since her stroke 10 years ago. Family member #3 said Resident #7 grabbed the bed frame when she was
turned.
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 11:35 a.m., MR D said she worked in medical records and was not a
CNA. She said she helped CNA B put Resident #7 back to bed last Friday (02/09/24). She said she had not
been trained to operate the mechanical lift. She said she pushed the buttons on the mechanical lift
controller and CNA B guided Resident #7's body during the transfer. She said after she helped place
Resident #7 in the bed, she left the room with no intention to return to help with the bed bath. She said
immediately after helping CNA B transfer Resident #7, she clocked out to go home for a family emergency.
She said as she clocked out, she heard a splat then heard CNA B scream out Resident #7 fell out the bed.
She said she heard CNA B say, I told you not to move!
During an interview on 02/15/24 at 1:20 p.m., the DON said Resident #7 required 2 persons assistance
with cares per her care plan. She said all staff had access to resident's care plan on the electronic charting
system. She said new employees were taught in training and during orientation on how to access resident's
care plans. She said she ensured care plans were followed by having care plan meetings and educating
staff on how to access them. She said residents could get hurt when the care plan was not followed. She
said she did not know all the details related to Resident #7's falls on 02/08/24. She said a note was written
about the incident on 02/08/24 but not an incident report. She said she needed to contact LVN C about the
report. She said she also did not know all the details about Resident #7's fall on 02/09/24. She said family
member #1 saw her in the hallway and told her about it. She said from what she gathered, CNA B was
about to give Resident #7 a bed bath and was getting stuff ready for it. She said she was told CNA B told
Resident #7 not to turn but she did anyway. She said she was told Resident #7 was grabbing a rail. She
said Resident #7's left side was weak, but she had witnessed her turning herself left to right without
assistance. She said Resident #7 possibly could have been turned on her left side before she fell. She said
she would have rather not had CNA B step away from Resident #7, if she was on her side, when she was
alone in the room. She said the risk of 2 people not being in the room with Resident #7 was a fall and deep
laceration in her foot. She said MR D was not trained to use the mechanical lift nor was she a CNA. She
said she did not know if both people operating the mechanical lift had to be trained. She said she would
have rather both people operating the mechanical lift on 02/09/24 were trained. She said staff members
operating the mechanical lift without training could hurt someone. She said CNAs and nurses knew only
trained

During an interview on 02/15/24 at 2:09 p.m., the ADM he did not know the details about Resident #7's
falls, he was just notified she went to the hospital. He said he expected care plan intervention to be followed
such as 2 people for cares. He said when interventions were not followed it placed residents at risk for
negative outcomes. He said charge nurses should make observations and when staff made rounds to
ensure care plan interventions were followed. He said only direct care staff such as nurses and CNAs
should operate the mechanical lift. He said staff were trained or checked off during annual competencies
and returned demonstration. He said if MR D was not a CNA, then she should not have been using the
mechanical lift. He said if untrained staff used the mechanical lift, negative outcomes could happen. He said
the CNAs should be observed and monitored to ensure only trained staff operated the mechanical lift. A
policy on mechanical lift was requested and received. A policy on accident, hazards, and supervision was
requested but not received prior to or after exit.

During an interview on 02/15/24 at 2:39 p.m., COTA N said Resident #7 was on occupational therapy
services 01/31/24-02/09/24. She said Resident #7's OT plan of care worked on grooming, self-feeding,
sit/balance time, and upper body strength. She said she could not definitely say what type of ADL
assistance such as bed mobility, Resident #7 needed because PT worked on that not OT. She said
Resident #7 could maintain her balance on her side, in the center of the bed, but she would not be able to
self-correct if something happened during cares.
