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 the right to be free from abuse and/or
neglect for 1 (Resident #3) of 10 residents reviewed for abuse and/or neglect.
1. The facility failed to prevent OT A from pulling Resident #3's arm down while Resident #3 was receiving
therapy in the therapy gym.
2. The facility failed to prevent OT A from using a loud tone of voice with Resident #3 in the therapy gym
after Resident #3 complained he wanted to be finished with his therapy session
These failures could place residents at risk of physical or emotional harm.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #3's face sheet, dated 09/12/23, indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male,
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included cerebral infarction (refers to damage to tissues in
the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area), Hemiplegia (paralysis that affects one side of the body) and
hemiparesis (weakness or the inability to move on one side of the body), dementia (a general term for loss
of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with
daily life), and muscle weakness (decreased strength and compromised ability to perform active
movements).
Record review of Resident #3's annual MDS assessment, dated 08/08/23, indicated he was usually able to
make himself understood and was usually able to understand others. He had a BIMS score of 05, which
indicated severe cognitive impairment. He did not exhibit behaviors of wandering or rejection of care.
Resident #3 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on unit, dressing,
toileting, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated he did not receive any antipsychotic, antianxiety,
antidepressant or hypnotic medications during the assessment. Section V of the MDS indicated Resident
#3's previous MDS assessment marked his BIMS score as 08, which indicated moderate cognitive
impairment.
Record review of Resident #3's physician's orders, dated 09/12/23, indicated he had these orders:
*PT to evaluate and treat as indicated. The order start date was 09/30/22.
*OT to evaluate and treat as indicated. The order start date was 09/30/22.

Record review of the facility's provider investigation report for this incident, dated 08/23/23, stated in the
investigation summary section:
[Resident #3] was in the rehab gym in the standing [frame] and was complaining that his right arm was
hurting him. The treating therapist, [PTA P], adjusted [Resident #3's] arm and provided him with some
padding. [Resident #3] continued to complain of pain and began stating that he wanted to get out of the
standing frame. [OT A] was sitting behind [Resident #3] at the desk. [OT A] slammed his hands down on the
desk, turned and grabbed [Resident #3's] arm, forcing it down onto the bar and held his hand onto the
standing frame. [Resident #3] stated that this hurt at which point [PTA P] intervened, removing [Resident
#3] from [OT A]. [OT A] began aggressively moving equipment, yelling, and he then left the facility.
The administrator and Director of Rehab phoned [OT A] and suspended him immediately, pending
investigation.
[Resident #3] was assessed by the treatment nurse, [LVN C]. [LVN C's] assessment revealed no physical
injuries, no marks, no bruising, no redness of any kind and no emotional distress.
Safe surveys were conducted on the residents that [OT A] treated. The safe surveys revealed no negative
outcomes.
The facility notified [Resident #3's] family and physician.
The facility reported to [state survey agency] 8-16-23 at 1:19pm.
Through interviews and investigation, the facility learned that therapists [PTA P], [PTA N], and [Therapy
Tech O] witnessed the event. From their statements the facility gathered that [PTA P] was treating [Resident
#3] and that [Resident #3] complained of pain in his right arm, was struggling with his stamina in the
standing frame, and was impatient to be finished. After hearing [Resident #3] complain [PTA P] adjusted
[Resident #3's], gave him some additional padding, and asked him to push through for just a little longer.
[Resident #3] continued a bit longer and then began saying that held better be finished soon. [OT A] was
sitting at the desk in the rehab gym. Upon hearing [Resident #3] complain again he became impatient, he
got up and pushed [Resident #3's] right arm down onto the bar of the standing frame, he raised his [voice]
stating that [Resident #3] was Interrupting other patients therapy and that [Resident #3] was [finished] with
his therapy session. [PTA P] intervened and removed [Resident #3] from the rehab gym. [OT A]
aggressively moved some equipment around and then left the facility.
[Resident #3] was monitored throughout the investigation but he exhibited no initial, nor any delayed onset
physical injuries nor any emotional distress.
In a phone interview with the administrator [OT A] stated that he pushes people to complete their therapy
but he would never physically or emotionally hurt someone.
An in-service on abuse/neglect was begun with staff.
The investigation reveals that the incident occurred: [OT A] became impatient with [Resident #3] in the
rehab gym and responded by pressing his right arm down onto the bar of the standing frame, [stating]
loudly that he wasn't going to let [Resident #3] interrupt other residents' therapy. This was

witnessed by staff members [PTA P], [PTA N], and [Therapy Tech O]. Although the incident occurred, the
facility could not substantiate abuse ([Resident #3] exhibited no initial nor any delayed onset physical
injuries nor emotional distress and the safe surveys that were conducted with the patients being treated by
[OT A] revealed no negative outcomes). [Resident #3] continues his stay at [facility] in [Resident #3's room

Residents Affected - Few
Further record review of the facility's provider investigation report for this incident, dated 08/23/23, stated in
the second investigation summary section:
During the resident's therapy session, a therapist was witnessed speaking harshly to the resident and
aggressively moving equipment near the resident. These actions could have caused the resident emotional
trauma. The resident did not sustain any injury related to the incident and has not displayed any long-lasting
emotional effects related to the incident.
It is the belief of the facility that the therapist is solely responsible for the incident, and they did not behave
appropriately while interacting with a resident of the facility. The therapist was immediately suspended at
the time of the incident and has been terminated at the conclusion of this investigation. The incident was
confirmed by three other employees near or within the vicinity during the interaction.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 2:36PM, LVN C said he took care of Resident #3 on 08/16/23. He
assessed Resident #3 after the incident in the therapy gym and did not find any negative findings. He said
there was no bruising or wounds. He said there was no physical or emotional injury to Resident #3. He said
he did not act outside of his normal or show that it bothered him. He said Resident #3 did not require pain
medication from the incident. He said he did not think OT A would hurt or be mean to a resident. He said he
did not know OT A to be aggressive.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 7:53 AM, Resident #3 said he was doing his morning therapy on
08/16/23. He said OT A pushed his arm down on a machine in the therapy gym. He said when OT A
pushed down his arm it was painful. He said it was at least a 7-8 out of 10 on a 1-10 pain scale. He said he
did not require any pain medication after the event. He said it did not make him feel very good. He said it
made him upset that someone would do that to him. He said before that event OT A had never been
aggressive or forceful with him before. He said no one else in the facility was trying to hurt him. He said if
there was abuse he would talk to the nurse and administrator.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 9:18 AM, PTA N said he was working on 8/16/23 when the incident
occurred with OT A and Resident #3. He said Resident #3 was in the standing frame machine for therapy
and he saw OT A walk over to Resident #3 and he saw Resident 3's arm jerk downward as OT A was
aggressively trying to remove Resident #3 from the machine. He said he heard some loud talking and he
saw two therapists intervene and stop OT A. He said OT A got irritated easily but he had never seen him be
physical with a resident before.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 9:18AM, Therapy Tech O said Resident #3 was in the standing frame in
the therapy gym. She said PTA P was the treating therapist for Resident #3 and OT A was assisting. She
said she heard Resident #3 complain about being in the standing frame and say he wanted to be finished
with the frame. She said OT A then told Resident #3 you need to calm down and Resident #3 said don't talk
to me like that. OT A told Resident #3 we're not doing this today. She said OT A aggressively took Resident
#3 off of the standing frame and she saw OT A jerk down Resident #3's arm. She said Resident #3 was
loudly arguing with OT A but he did not scream out in pain. She said she

then left the room right as PTA P intervened. She said OT A had always been easily irritated when
residents would complain in the therapy gym. She said she had never seen OT A be physically aggressive
before.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 9:35AM, PTA P said she was treating Resident #3 on 08/16/23. She
said they were working on standing endurance with Resident #3. She had a goal of 15 minutes in the
standing frame for Resident #3. He had a few minutes left and wanted to be finished. She added a pad to
the frame because he complained of pain to his arm. She encouraged Resident #3 to push through to meet
his goal. She walked away to assist to another resident and OT A was sitting in a desk behind Resident #3.
She said OT A had always been impatient and easily frustrated. She said after Resident #3 complained
again about wanting to be finished with his therapy, OT A got upset with Resident #3 and slammed his
hands down on the desk. She said OT A stood up and stormed towards Resident #3 and grabbed his right
arm and push it down aggressively. She said Resident #3 yelled at OT A and told him to have some
compassion when he jerked his arm. She said she immediately intervened, and OT A was being aggressive
and rough with Resident #3. She told OT A she was going to take Resident #3 to his room and then OT A
stopped being aggressive. She said OT A then apologized to her. She said sometime after this incident, he
left the facility. She said she reported it to the facility DON, ADM, and director of rehab. She said OT A had
been verbally aggressive before. She thought OT A crossed a line by putting his hands on a resident in that
manner. She said OT A had anger issues and a short temper. She said as far as she knew he has never
been physical with a resident.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 10:02AM, OT A said Resident #3 was standing in the standing frame.
He said he was trying to help Resident #3 out of the frame. He said Resident #3 was raising his voice and
he matched his loud tone. He said he tried to help lower Resident #3 to his wheelchair. He said he thought
Resident #3 was balling up his fist to hit him, so he grabbed Resident #3's hand and held it down. He said
he was trying to avoid jerking Resident #3's arm so he grabbed it to support it, and he saw Resident #3
make a fist so he moved his arm closer to his body so he could not hit him. He sat back down to the
wheelchair and another therapist took him to his room. He said he cannot recall if anything else happened.
He said he went to check on him after this and wanted to speak with the resident to make sure he was
okay. He said he had worked with the resident a few times before this incident. He didn't think Resident #3
was appropriate for therapy because he got emotional, and he thought Resident #3 was not appropriately
medically managed. He said he had worked at the facility before the incident about 18 months. He said he
had received training on abuse and neglect. He said it was unfortunate what happened, and he was
ultimately fired for unprofessional conduct. He said he had learned from this incident and wants to be a
better clinician and has respect for the facility's decision to terminate his employment.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 3:59 PM, the DON said a therapist came to her office and asked to
speak with her. She said it was reported to her that OT A had been involved in an incident with Resident #3.
She said OT A had left the building for lunch. She said when OT A came back from lunch, they told him he
was not allowed in the building and was suspended pending investigation. She said she interviewed the
therapists in the gym that day. She said they told her OT A was aggressively speaking at Resident #3. She
said one therapist told her OT A was holding down Resident #3's arm with force. She said OT A was
ultimately terminated. She said she expected the therapists to treat the residents well, and not be
aggressive with them. She said the risk to Resident #3 was that he could have been physically injured and
had possible emotional trauma. She said Resident #3 could have feared the therapists and not want to go
to therapy. She said she felt like OT A's verbal aggression was abuse.

During an interview on 09/13/23 at 4:21 PM, the Director of Rehab said he was called by a PTA and there
was an incident between OT A and Resident #3. He said he was worried about abuse. He said he notified
the Administrator. He said OT A was suspended pending investigation. He said he was told OT A yelled at
Resident #3 and pulled his arm down to the table on the standing frame. He said ultimately they terminated
OT A. He said he thought Resident #3 was emotionally and verbally abused based on the investigation. He
said Resident #3 did not have any sign of injury after the incident. He said the risk to Resident #3 could be
insecurity and fear of therapy.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 4:27 PM, the Administrator said he began working at the facility on
08/07/23. He said the allegation was that Resident #3 was in the therapy gym, being treated by PTA P. He
said Resident #3 started to complain about pain in his right arm. PTA P adjusted his right arm and
encouraged him to hold out. Resident #3 complained again that he wanted to be done soon. OT A was
annoyed and slammed his hands down on the desk. He said OT A pushed down Resident #3's right arm.
He said OT A told Resident #3 I'm not going to let you interrupt other residents' therapy time. PTA P
intervened and separated OT A and Resident #3 and OT A left the building. After this the Administrator and
the DON phoned OT A and suspended him immediately pending investigation. He said he did not refer OT
A's license. He said ultimately the facility terminated OT A. He said the risk to Resident #3 was that the
resident could suffer physical or emotional injury. He said he did not think that the incident was abuse.

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 the resident environment remained as
free of accident hazards as possible, and each resident received adequate supervision to prevent accidents
for two of two residents (Resident #1 and #2) reviewed for accidents and hazards in that:
1. The facility failed to update Resident #1's elopement evaluation after he exhibited exit seeking behavior,
and Resident #1 was able to elope from the facility without staff's knowledge due to an exit door failing to
activate and Resident #1 was found on the roadway by police
2. The facility failed to ensure coffee was served at a safe temperature for Resident #2.
Resident #2 received second degree burns to the left arm and abdomen after hot coffee was spilled on her.
Resident #2 was not thoroughly assessed for burns after the coffee was spilled and treatment was not
provided to the abdominal burn until 2 days after the incident occurred
3. The facility failed to have a policy to ensure coffee temperatures were at the appropriate temperature
prior to serving
These failures resulted in the identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 09/12/23 at 02:06 PM. While
the IJ was removed on 09/13/23 at 1:45PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated
and a severity level of actual harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the
effectiveness of the corrective systems.
This deficient practice could place the residents at risk for further elopement, burns, serious harm, serious
injury, or death.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 09/11/23, indicated he was a [AGE] year-old male,
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness (decreased
strength and compromised ability to perform active movements), type 2 diabetes mellitus (a long-term
medical condition in which your body doesn't use insulin properly, resulting in unusual blood sugar levels),
and dementia (a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities
that are severe enough to interfere with daily life).
Record review of Resident #1's admission MDS assessment, dated 02/20/23, indicated he did not have a
BIMS conducted because he was rarely/never understood. He had problems with both short-term and
long-term memory, and his cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired. He required
extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. He required
supervision assistance with eating. Resident #1's locomotion on and off unit were not coded in the
assessment because he had only performed those activities once or twice during the assessment. He used
a wheelchair as a mobility device. Resident #1 received antidepressant medications 7 of 7 days of the
assessment.
Record review of Resident #1's care plan, created and initiated on 03/27/23, indicated a focus of elopement
risk/wanderer related to disoriented to place, history of attempts to leave facility

working in the facility when the resident eloped in March 2023. He said the resident got out because the
doors did not lock at the time of the incident. He said he was unsure if the alarm went off or not at the time
of the incident. He tested all of the door alarms weekly, sometime during the week. He said he did not
check on a specific day. He said he kept the checks on a log. He said the front and the back door were
secured and alarmed. He said before the elopement, only the front and back door were secured. He said
the other doors were only alarmed but not locked. They could still be pushed opened to allow egress. He
said the nurses and the Maintenance Director had a key to the alarm. He said after the elopement all
exterior doors were upgraded so they could be secured in the same way as the front and back door with a
magnet lock. They were all alarmed. He took this surveyor around the facility and checked each exterior
door and they were all secured and alarmed.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 2:58 PM, CNA M said she remembered seeing Resident #1 around 3:00
AM. She said she missed out on everything because the others ran outside. She said the nurses had a key
to the alarms. She said she had never seen anyone turn off the alarm. She said she thought they were
always on. She said she never heard an alarm sound that morning when the resident eloped.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 3:04 PM, CNA L said Resident #1 had behaviors before of exit seeking
and trying to exit. She was not sure how he got out of the facility at the time of the elopement. She said he
got out and they noticed he was missing and ran out to look for him and they found him at the end of the
parking lot next to the road. She said he did not exhibit any distress. They got him back inside and the nurse
looked him over. She said she was not sure if she heard an alarm that morning. She said the nurses had a
key to the alarms.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 3:14 PM, CNA K said she dressed Resident #1 that morning. She said
she brought him to the front of the building near the nurses station and gave him some snacks to keep him
occupied. She said he then wandered around the facility either to the dining room or another hall. When she
came back to check on him, he was not in the same spot when she left him. She said she could not find
him in his usual places. The PD called and he was out of the facility down beside the street. They found him
out of the parking lot by the side of the street. She said he did not have any injuries. She said they brought
him back into the facility. She said later that day after her shift the DON or the ADON called her and they
said the 400 hall door was found unlocked. She said she never heard an alarm that morning. She said she
last saw him around 5-10 minutes before they found him outside. She said the nurses and the ADON have
a key to the alarms. She said he just mumbled when asked how he got out.

the nurse assessed him. She said Resident #1 had no negative effects. She said he was outside around
10-20 minutes. She said they put him on 1:1 observation until he left to another facility later that day on
03/28/23.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 3:32 PM, the DON said she headed the facility's investigation. She said
one of the nurses found that the alarm was turned off after Resident #1's elopement. She said when she
arrived to the facility on [DATE], she checked the doors and the alarms were activated. She said one of the
nurses that were working at the time of the elopement told her that the alarm to the 400 hall was turned off.

activated. She said the nurses had a key at the time of the elopement. She said after the incident, they
changed the door locks to magnets that auto lock. She said Resident #1 was put on 15-minute checks until
he was transferred out to another facility. She said they reevaluated all elopement risk residents. She said
they did in-services related to the alarms. She said her investigation found that the resident was out of the
building about 20-25 minutes. She said the current administrator had only been there about 1 month.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 4:00 PM, the DON said they did not have a policy that addressed how
often the door alarms should be checked.
During an observation on 09/11/23 at 4:16 PM, this surveyor found a speed limit sign for the road that the
facility driveways end on. The speed limit was 55 miles per hour.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 4:43 PM, RN H said he did not remember taking care of Resident #1.
He said he wrote a progress note on 03/21/23 likely because he noticed the resident was exit seeking. He
said he could not recall the event but he said he would have notified the nurse and the DON about the new
exit seeking behaviors. He said he was unsure if a new elopement assessment was completed on Resident
#1 related to his exit seeking.
During an interview on 09/11/23 at 4:49 PM, LVN G said Resident #1 was frequently exit seeking. She said
she kept a closer eye on him since he started exit seeking. She said the hall doors had alarms and would
sound when someone opened the door. She said she was unable to remember if a new elopement
assessment was completed or if the DON was notified about Resident #1's exit seeking behaviors. She
said for a resident that was a low risk to elope and then started to be exit seeking, she said she would notify
the DON and complete a new elopement risk assessment. She said she did not create a new
elopement/wandering risk assessment for Resident #1 when she noticed his exit seeking behaviors.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 9:09 AM, the DON said she last conducted an elopement in-service in
March 2023 after Resident #1 eloped. She said newly hired employees were taught about elopement
during their orientation training. She said she expected to be notified about Resident #1's new exit-seeking
behaviors prior to his elopement. She said she expected the nurses to complete a new elopement
assessment when they noticed new exit-seeking behaviors.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 9:14 AM, the Administrator said he did an in-service on elopement with
the nurses on 09/11/23 after this surveyor left the facility.
2. Record review of Resident #2's face sheet, dated 09/12/23, indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female,
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included generalized muscle weakness (decreased
strength and compromised ability to perform active movements), and dementia (a general term for loss of
memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with
daily life).
Record review of Resident #2's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 07/03/23, indicated she did not have a
brief interview for mental status conducted because she was rarely/never understood. Her staff assessment
for mental status indicated she had a problem with both short and long-term memory, and that her cognitive
skills for daily decision making were severely impaired. She did not exhibit behaviors of rejection of care or
wandering. She required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, locomotion on and off unit,
dressing, eating, toileting, and personal hygiene. Her primary medical condition that best described her
primary reason for admission was non-traumatic brain dysfunction

Record review of Resident #2's skin ulcer non-pressure assessment, dated 07/11/23 and completed by
LVN C, indicated Resident #2 had a burn to her left arm and left lateral (of or relating to the side) abdomen.
The onset date was 07/07/23. The size was 11x10 cm. The burn was described as a full thickness wound.
The wound was noted to have a small amount of serous exudate (a clear fluid that leaks out of wounds).
Record Review of Resident #2's wound care progress note, dated 7/11/23, and signed by Wound Care
Doctor E on 09/13/23 at 10:05 AM, indicated that the wound care note dated for 07/18/23 concerning
Resident #2's abdominal wound progress note was supposed to be dated for the 7/11/23 visit. This record
was provided by the Administrator via email to this surveyor on 09/13/23 at 12:49 PM. Wound Care Doctor
E signed this note on 09/13/23 at 10:05 AM, after surveyor interview with the Wound Care Doctor E, and
after this surveyor notified the Administrator and DON of IJ on 09/12/23.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 9:40 AM, LVN B said she looked at the burn on Resident #2's left arm
and grabbed the wound care nurse, LVN C. She said they immediately rinsed it with water and the wound
nurse treated and bandaged the burn. She said she spoke with the kitchen about not giving out hot coffee.
She said the resident had not had coffee before and she was unsure if it was given because she asked or if
the kitchen had mistakenly given it to her. She said she notified the MD, DON, and family.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 9:55AM, LVN B said she did not notice the burn to Resident #2's
abdomen on 07/07/23.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 10:05AM, LVN C said Resident #2 had sustained a coffee burn. He said
he did not notice the burn to her abdomen on 07/07/23. He said the abdominal burn was found sometime
between 07/07/23 and 07/11/23 because he remembered telling Wound Care Doctor E to look at both
wounds on 07/11/23.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 10:19AM, LVN B said she found Resident #2's abdominal burn on
7/9/23. She said she was not told in report about the burns and treated them as new. She thought they
were delayed from the coffee burn on her arm on 7/7/23. She said she immediately cleaned and treated the
wound, and notified the DON, MD, Family, and treatment nurse.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 10:30AM, the Dietary Manager said they did not log the coffee
temperature before the burn incident on the morning of 07/07/23. She said before the incident she expected
the aides to read the temperature reading on the coffee maker and not to serve if the coffee temperature
was greater than 180 degrees F. She said the dietician gave her some guidance at the time of the event
that indicated there was no minimum or maximum that the coffee should be served. She said in the
mornings the dietary aides assisted the nursing staff to give out coffee before breakfast. She after the burn
incident they changed to use a thermometer to check the temps of the coffee and keep a log. She said the
residents also now have coffee cups with lids to reduce the risk of spillage. She said the coffee maker was
set to 200 degrees F and the coffee was usually around 180 degrees F when it finished brewing.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 10:40AM, the DON said they do not have a policy that addresses the
coffee temperature or the temperature that would be safe to serve to residents. She said after

burn to Resident #2's abdomen on the 11th. He said he was not sure if Wound Care Doctor E was going to
look at the abdominal wound or not. He said sometimes Wound Care Doctor E does not look at wounds the
facility can treat.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 11:35AM, the DON said she expected Wound Care Doctor E to assess
and treat the abdominal wound on 7/11/23.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 11:37AM, Wound Care Doctor E said Resident #2 had a big burn wound
on her left arm and it never appeared to be infected. He said he was unsure if he saw the abdominal part of
the wound on 7/11/23. He said he knew he saw it on the 7/18/23 visit.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 12:50PM, the DON said her investigation showed that Resident #2
spilled coffee on herself during breakfast. The CNA first noticed the burn to Resident #2's left arm when
undressing her for a shower after breakfast. She said the CNA noticed the burn approximately at 9 to 9:30
AM. She said the resident did not express pain or any facial grimace.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 12:56PM, the Dietary Manager said they started the coffee temperature
log the day after the burn incident. She said it was possible she put the coffee temps for the 8th on the 7th
line. She said she did not have a record of the coffee temperature for the morning of the 7th. She said
coffee was normally served between 6:30-7AM and breakfast was normally served at 7:15AM.
During an interview on 09/12/23 at 3:46PM, CNA F said she took care of Resident #2 on 07/07/23. She
said the resident had breakfast in the dining room and then participated in an activity. She said after the
activity she took her out of the dining room to bathe her at approximately 10:00 AM. She said she noticed
Resident #2's jacket was wet and undressed her. She then noticed a reddened area to Resident #2's left
arm. She said she did not remember if Resident #2 had any reddened areas on her abdomen. She said she
notified the nurse about the reddened area.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 3:50PM, the ADON said she expected the 400-hall alarm to be turned
on at all times. The risk to Resident #1 was that he could have gotten hurt or injured. She expected the
nurses to follow the elopement policy.
During an interview on 09/13/23 at 3:59 PM, the DON said the risk to her Resident #2 as a result of the
abdominal burn not being identified for two days was that she could have had skin breakdown or an
infection. She said she expected the nurses to complete a new elopement evaluation when they noticed
Resident #1 had new exit-seeking behaviors. She said she expected the 400-hall alarm to be turned on at
all times. She said the risk to Resident #1 eloping could have been serious injury.
