The NP was not aware of any order to have Resident #1's door open or to do frequent monitoring. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 1:38 PM, the MD stated that Resident #1 was taking a high dose of steroids due to brain cancer. The MD believed the discoloration on the resident's face was related to medical condition and medications. The MD had not observed any abuse. Staff have told the MD that SO/AP was persistent with feeding the resident but did not believe that would rise to the level to be abuse. They had not discussed any concerns about abuse or aggressive feeding in the monthly or weekly QAPI meetings. Surveyor told MD about the interviews from staff in the complaint report. The MD expressed surprise and stated, that is very concerning. The MD stated that Resident #1 did not have the cognition to be interviewed about the abuse. The MD was unaware of any interventions regarding Resident #1's door kept open during visits with SO/AP. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 2:07 PM, LVN B had observed SO/AP on 7/14/2024, grabbing both (Resident #1's) shoulders and shaking him hard; slapping him in the face; hitting him in the chest with her fist; yelling him; threatening him to say she won't come visit him anymore if he doesn't wake up. LVN B intervened and told SO/AP to stop that it was dangerous to put food in the resident's mouth when he was asleep as he could choke. LVN B reported concerns to the DON, who called ADM, who did not want to report it. LVN B reported observing further abuse by SO/AP later that month and because of this, had not returned to work for this facility. During an interview on 08/29/2024, at 3:16 PM, LVN C stated she was unaware the Resident #1's care plan and interventions.

SO/AP was observed lying in bed on the right side of the resident while Resident #1 was asleep. SO/AP stated that the bruise of Resident #1's face was due to him sleeping on the call light button and reported the facility staff removed the call light at night. The AP/SO stated that was the only explanation for how the bruise occurred because SO/AP didn't do anything. Throughout the interview, SO/AP repeatedly stated she had nothing to hid and did not do anything and stated that she never noticed the bruise. It was a staff member that noticed the bruise, but SO/AP could not recall the staff member's name. When asked about the make-up, SO/AP originally denied it and then said she put make up on Resident #1's face a long time ago because SO/AP felt bad for the resident. SO/AP denied having a care plan meeting. When asked about keeping the door open, SO/AP stated she was asked to do that, but SO/AP kept the door cracked or closed because SO/AP did not want anyone looking into the room and the facility had blown that off. SO/AP wanted privacy. SO/AP denied staff coming to check on the resident or monitoring him. Surveyor attempted to interview Resident #1, but the resident remained asleep during the interview with SO/AP. During an interview and observation with LVN D on 08/29/2024 at 3:28 PM, LVN D was unaware of Resident #1's care plan interventions to keep door open.

LVN D later returned as SO/AP was opening Resident #1's door and exiting the room with the resident. LVN D told SO/AP that the resident's door needed to stay open, and SO/AP responded, I don't care and continued to walk down the hallway pushing the resident in a wheelchair.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few stated she found a doctor's order in Resident #1's chart to keep the door open. LVN D told the charge nurse the care plan was not being followed and stated, I am sure the DON is aware. LVN D stated that all staff needed to be aware to keep the door open. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 4:54 PM, Receptionist B had seen SO/AP be aggressive with Resident #1.

Receptionist B reported the incident to the police when they responded to the 08/03/2024 self-report and then reported it to her supervisor. Receptionist B received in-service training last month on ANE. Receptionist B had no knowledge of the resident's care plan or interventions nor if the facility had done an investigation regarding her concerns. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 6:07 PM the ADM stated it was hard to say what the expectations were for staff not following Resident #1's care plan interventions to keep the resident safe because the facility's internal investigation revealed no abuse; the resident wanted SO/AP there and felt safe; the police had not done anything, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission had cleared the first incident for 07/14/2024. The ADM stated that in general, when discussing other residents, the ADM's expectation was that staff follow the care plan. When surveyor asked again about expectations for Resident #1's care plan interventions and door being left open for safety and monitoring, ADM replied, that's hard to say. It is our findings that there has been no abuse. The ADM stressed there was no believe that any abuse had occurred and therefore, was not concerned about the closed door or staff not following the care plan interventions. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 6:07 PM the DON stated it was care planned to have Resident #1's door kept open for line of sight. DON stressed that SO/AP would hurt the resident and therefore, we don't force the door if the door was closed. SO/AP was the POA and had been in a relationship with the resident for 23 years and the ADM and DON must respect that. The DON had known of concerns from staff that SO/AP force fed Resident #1 and that the AP/SO shakes his (Resident #1) shoulders to wake him up, but nothing the DON would consider abuse. The DON stressed that the AP/SO was intentionally trying to feed and wake Resident #1 but did not intend to cause harm. The DON stressed there was no believe that any abuse had occurred and therefore, was not concerned about the closed door or staff not following the care plan interventions. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 7:06 PM, the DON stated SO/AP was told to leave the building and would not be allowed in the facility again if Resident #1's door did not remain completely open during visits. SO/AP was encouraged to stay in public/common areas. The DON would start in-service training with staff about the care plan interventions. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 7:28 PM, RN B stated that on 08/03/2024, a night CNA had reported to the night nurse that Resident #1 had a black eye around 5:30 AM. RN B did an assessment and did not think it was a bruise. RN B talked to the resident alone and the resident reported that he felt safe. RN B interviewed SO/AP and SO/AP had noticed the bruise a few days ago but had not reported it to the facility staff because she thought staff already knew. Resident #1 had fragile skin and due to medications, his skin would tear. RN B stated that the facility staff present that day had separated the resident and SO/AP and had the resident moved closer to nurse's station . RN B also called the police. RN B stated that the police officer had no concerns after interviewing the SO/AP. RN B was aware of the resident's care plan interventions to keep the door open while SO/AP visits. Staff had access to this information in the care plan.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 7:43 PM, LVN A had observed SO/AP become impatient and frustrated with Resident #1. All staff have had to intervene because of SO/AP's behaviors. When SO/AP was not there, Resident #1 was smiley and friendly with the staff. When SO/AP was at the facility, the resident was more upset and agitated. SO/AP got loud, bossy with him. LVN A found the black eye with make-up put on Resident #1's face, which was highly suspicious. LVN A had heard that an agency nurse had seen SO/AP shake the resident in the dining room. LVN A stated Resident #1 would get skin tears on left side due to always leaning on left side. LVN A received in-service training on ANE and would report any concerns to the abuse coordinator. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 9:25 PM, the ADM had a copy of the police report and was aware of the allegations from four staff members who reported witnessing SO/AP assault Resident #1. The report revealed on 07/13/2024, staff observed SO/AP kick Resident #1 under the table in the dining room when they attempted to video record SO/AP interaction together while in the dining room. On 07/13/2024, staff observed SO/AP yell at Resident #1, grab his arms and shake him, and shove food in Resident #1's mouth, while he was lying flat on his back laying down, sleeping. Over the past month, staff had observed SO/AP punch Resident #1 in the chest with a closed fist and slap him in the face multiple times on different days. Staff had observed a burn on Resident #1's abdomen and reported they didn't know what caused the burn and that the resident would not have been able to cause it due to his mobility limitations. Staff reported that visitors had complained that they witnessed SO/AP slap Resident #1. Staff stated that they reported these allegations and concerns to their supervisor. During an observation and interview on 08/30/2024 at 8:43 AM, Resident #1 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room and SO/AP was trying to feed the resident. Resident #1 appeared asleep as he had his eyes closed. Surveyor observed SLP intervene and crouch down to talk to the resident. Surveyor overhead SLP telling SO/AP, you can't feed him now .no, he's not awake enough and walked off. SLP stated he talked to SO/AP about not feeding the resident when the resident was asleep. The resident was not alert enough to eat and SO/AP needed to be educated to stop putting food in his month when the resident was asleep, which would collect in Resident #1 mouth and cause choking. SLP stated SO/AP got overzealous about feeding the resident but did not think it would be considered abuse. During an interview on 08/30/2024 at 11:37 AM, DCS stated that on 08/03/2024, Resident #1 was found to have a bruise on his face covered up by makeup. That was a big red flag. DCS reported it immediately to the previous ADM. The ADM was aware of the previous incident with SO/AP and told the DCS to call the police. Resident #1 was moved closer to the nurse's station on 08/03/2024 and then moved to another room on 08/10/2024 to keep an eye on the resident and provide frequent monitoring. ADM told DCS to remove SO/AP from the facility due to the situation. The SO/AP was still at the facility when the police arrive around 11:00 AM. Police responded to the facility on [DATE] around 11:00 AM and interviewed SO/AP and the resident. Police stated they could not do anything because there was no admission of guilt to the injury. DSC did not suspect SO/AP of any abuse. DCS had observed Resident #1's door being open but had been told that SO/AP liked to keep the door closed. DCS was in-serviced about keeping the resident's door open, the care plan interventions, and ANE about who was the abuse coordinator and about reporting when he arrived at the facility on 08/30/2024. The DCS stated the care plan was to ensure staff was providing proper care to the resident. The DCS expectation was that nursing staff follow the care plan. DCS would immediately report any allegations of ANE from staff. During an interview on 09/01/2024 at 9:50 AM, CNA A stated Resident #1 had unexplained bruises. Resident #1 was unable to communicate.

During an interview on 09/01/2024 at 11:19 AM, RN A stated last week RN A observed SO/AP feed Resident #1 when he was not awake. Last week RN A observed SO/AP picking up Resident #1's head and holding it back. RN A intervened and explained to SO/AP that it was not appropriate to feed Resident #1 when he was asleep. Review of the Facility's Abuse, Neglect & Exploitation Policy, dated 07/2016 last revised 10/2022, reflected the facility will take necessary measures to prevent and protect residents from abuse. This policy will apply to potential abuse and injury of unknown source. Instances or allegations of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, or exploitation should be treated seriously and reported to the Administrator or the supervisor on duty for investigation and appropriate follow up. Residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property and exploitation. This includes but is not limited to freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary seclusion, and physical or chemical restraint not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms.

Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to implement their written policies and procedures to report, prohibit, and prevent abuse for one (Resident #1) of five residents reviewed for developing and implementing abuse and neglect policies, in that: Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to implement abuse policies and procedures when they failed to protect Resident #1 from being abused by his SO/AP. The facility failed to report and investigate all suspected abuse and/or aggressive behaviors when staff reported observing SO/AP slap, hit, punch, grab, kick, yell, and shake Resident #1 and reported suspicious bruises, skin tears, and a burn on Resident #1's body and abdomen. By failing to implement these policies, the facility failed to identify and assess all possible incidents of abuse and investigate and report all allegations of abuse within timeframes required by federal requirements. This failure resulted in an identification of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) on 08/30/2024 at 1:30 PM. While the IJ was removed on 09/01/2024 at 01:41 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a severity level of no actual harm with a potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. This failure could place residents at risk of undetected abuse, trauma, and/or decline in feelings of safety and well-being or psychosocial harm. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 08/10/2024, reflected an [AGE] year-old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Glioblastoma (brain cancer), cerebral edema (swelling of the brain), muscle wasting and atrophy, seizures, hypertension (high blood pressure), and cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with speech). Resident #1 had also been diagnosed with difficulty swallowing and was a high risk for aspiration. Record review of Resident #1's MDS assessment, dated 05/21/2024, reflected a BIMS score of 12, which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Resident was at risk of developing pressure ulcers but had no current pressure ulcers or injuries. Resident had skin tears, pressure reducing device for chair and bed. Negative for any behaviors. Resident was dependent for self-care and required maximal assistance to move from sitting to lying flat on bed. Record review of Resident #1's initial care plan initiated on 05/15/2024 revealed no behavioral problems. Resident required assistance with ADLs due to weakness, brain cancer, cognitive deficit, and history of seizures. Resident required two -person assistance for transfer. Resident had difficulty swallowing and had a puree/thin liquid diet with 1:1 assistance for eating, monitor meal intake with each meal, and monitor weights as ordered. SO/AP was non-compliant with texture modified diet order and ordered excessive quantities of food for the resident. Resident had impairment to skin integrity and required assistance with turning and repositioning. Skin was to be evaluated on a daily and weekly basis. Geri sleeves to both arms were added on 07/22/2024 due to thin and fragile skin with discoloration and tears. Resident was on dexamethasone therapy (steroid) and at increased risk for bruising, bleeding, slow wound healing, thinning skin, red/purple spots on the skin.

Receptionist B had no knowledge of the resident's care plan or interventions nor if the facility had done an investigation regarding her concerns. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 6:07 PM the ADM stated it was hard to say what the expectations were for staff not following Resident #1's care plan interventions to keep the resident safe because the facility's internal investigation revealed no abuse; the resident wanted SO/AP there and felt safe; the police had not done anything, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission had cleared the first incident for 07/14/2024. The ADM stated that in general, when discussing other residents, the ADM's expectation was that staff follow the care plan. When surveyor asked again about expectations for Resident #1's care plan interventions and door being left open for safety and monitoring, ADM replied, that's hard to say. It is our findings that there has been no abuse. The ADM stressed there was no believe that any abuse had occurred and therefore, was not concerned about the closed door or staff not following the care plan interventions. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 6:07 PM the DON stated it was care planned to have Resident #1's door kept open for line of sight. DON stressed that SO/AP would hurt the resident and therefore, we don't force the door if the door was closed. SO/AP was the POA and had been in a relationship with the resident for 23 years and the ADM and DON must respect that. The DON had known of concerns from staff that SO/AP force fed Resident #1 and that the AP/SO shakes his (Resident #1) shoulders to wake him up, but nothing the DON would consider abuse. The DON stressed that the AP/SO was intentionally trying to feed and wake Resident #1 but did not intend to cause harm. The DON stressed there was no believe that any abuse had occurred and therefore, was not concerned about the closed door or staff not following the care plan interventions. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 7:28 PM, RN B stated that on 08/03/2024, a night CNA had reported to the night nurse that Resident #1 had a black eye around 5:30 AM. RN B did an assessment around 6:00 AM and did not think it was a bruise. RN B talked to the resident alone and the resident reported that he felt safe. RN B interviewed SO/AP and SO/AP had noticed the bruise a few days ago but had not reported it to the facility staff because she thought staff already knew. Resident #1 had fragile skin and due to medications, his skin would tear. RN B stated that the facility staff present that day had separated the resident and SO/AP and had the resident moved closer to nurse's station .

F 0607 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few RN B also called the police. RN B stated that the police officer had no concerns after interviewing the SO/AP. RN B was aware of the resident's care plan interventions to keep the door open while SO/AP visits. Staff had access to this information in the care plan. During an interview on 08/29/2024 at 7:43 PM, LVN A had observed SO/AP become impatient and frustrated with Resident #1. All staff have had to intervene because of SO/AP's behaviors. When SO/AP was not at the facility, Resident #1 was smiley and friendly with the staff. When SO/AP was at the facility, the resident was more upset and agitated. SO/AP got loud, bossy with him. On 8/3/2024, LVN A found the black eye with make-up put on Resident #1's face, which was highly suspicious. LVN A had heard that an agency nurse had seen SO/AP shake the resident in the dining room. LVN A stated Resident #1 would get skin tears on left side due to always leaning on left side. LVN A received in-service training on ANE and would report any concerns to the abuse coordinator. During an observation and interview on 08/30/2024 at 8:43 AM, Resident #1 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room and SO/AP was trying to feed the resident. Resident #1 appeared asleep as he had his eyes closed. Surveyor observed SLP intervene and crouch down to talk to the resident. Surveyor overhead SLP telling SO/AP, you can't feed him now .no, he's not awake enough and walked off. SLP stated he talked to SO/AP about not feeding the resident when the resident was asleep. The resident was not alert enough to eat and SO/AP needed to be educated to stop putting food in his month when the resident was asleep, which would collect in Resident #1 mouth and cause choking. SLP stated SO/AP got overzealous about feeding the resident but did not think it would be considered abuse. During an interview on 08/30/2024 at 11:37 AM, DCS stated that on 08/03/2024, Resident #1 was found to have a bruise on his face covered up by makeup. That was a big red flag. DCS reported it immediately to the previous ADM. The ADM was aware of the previous incident with SO/AP and told the DCS to call the police. Resident #1 was moved closer to the nurse's station on 08/03/2024 and then moved to another room on 08/10/2024 to keep an eye on the resident and provide frequent monitoring. ADM told DCS to remove SO/AP from the facility due to the situation. The SO/AP was still at the facility when the police arrive around 11:00 AM. Police responded to the facility on [DATE] around 11:00 AM and interviewed SO/AP and the resident. Police stated they could not do anything because there was no admission of guilt to the injury. DSC did not suspect SO/AP of any abuse. DCS had observed Resident #1's door being open but had been told that SO/AP liked to keep the door closed. DCS was in-serviced about keeping the resident's door open, the care plan interventions, and ANE about who was the abuse coordinator and about reporting when he arrived at the facility on 08/30/2024. The DCS stated the care plan was to ensure staff was providing proper care to the resident. The DCS expectation was that nursing staff follow the care plan. DCS would immediately report any allegations of ANE from staff. During an interview on 09/01/2024 at 9:50 AM, CNA A stated Resident #1 had unexplained bruises. Resident #1 was unable to communicate. An agency nurse had seen SO/AP smacking the resident and CNA A had seen SO/AP shaking the resident to wake him up a couple of month ago. We (the CNAs) had been suspicious of SO/AP for a while and could not believe no one believed it (the abuse) did not happen. During an interview on 09/01/2024 at 10:14 AM, CNA B had previously witnessed SO/AP shake (Resident #1) by the arms going back and forth. Resident #1 was sleepy, and SO/AP tried to put food in the resident's mouth. CNA B told SO/AP on 08/31/2024 not to feed Resident #1 soup with chucks of stuck in it because that could cause choking.

F 0607 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few pushy where we as nursing staff would tell her that he has rights and we have always intervened. When asked if Resident #1 was safe at the facility, LVN A replied, I would hate to see him go home. During an interview on 09/01/2024 at 11:19 AM, RN A stated last week RN A observed SO/AP feed Resident #1 when he was not awake. Last week RN A observed SO/AP picking up Resident #1's head and holding it back. RN A intervened and explained to SO/AP that it was not appropriate to feed Resident #1 when he was asleep.
