history of falls. ADON stated she was unsure if investigation was completed. ADON stated that she had
been told by other staff members before that CNA A would hold down combative residents. ADON stated
that she was told by some of the staff that CNA A would cross the resident's arms across their chest and
then he would hold down the resident. ADON stated that she did not report this to the abuse coordinator
(Administrator) because at that point it is just hearsay. ADON stated that she would report if the staff
completed a written statement. ADON stated, I don't think that he was hurting the resident. ADON stated
how else are you supposed to keep from getting hit by a resident? ADON stated she was unsure of what
the policy stated about dealing with combative residents. ADON stated she would deal with combative
behaviors by redirecting, walking away for a little bit if the resident was still combative, or get some help
from another staff to see if the resident would respond differently to another staff. When asked if policy
indicated that Resident could be held down, ADON stated, No, I don't think it says that. When asked ADON
if it is considered a restraint to hold a resident down, ADON responded, Yeah, I guess it is.
During an Interview 09/08/2023 at 11:19 am, Resident #4 stated that he did not witness his roommate
Resident #1 being held down, but he could hear a lot of rustling around when CNA A would provide care.
Resident #4 stated that he knew it was CNA A because he knows his voice. Resident #4 stated that he
would hear a lot of banging, hitting the wall, and the resident groaning like he was hurting, and you could
tell he was being hurt. Resident #4 stated that during the day when he was up and about that when CNA A
would come around then Resident #1 would show fear by trying to move away from CNA A and just the fear
in his eyes. Resident #4 stated you can see fear in someone. Resident #4 stated that CNA A was not the
friendliest person and would get agitated easily. Resident #4 stated he would hear CNA A say stay still in a
stern voice and hear all the rustling around. Resident #4 stated he was behind the curtain and could not
easily get up to check what was going on. Resident #4 stated that he did tell the RN about this situation and
to watch out for CNA A.
During an interview 09/08/2023 at 4:28 pm. Administrator stated that she had heard from other staff
members of CNA A holding down residents, but she thought that it was because the other staff didn't like
CNA A. Administrator stated that she had not witnessed CNA A hold down residents. Administrator stated
that Resident #3 did tell her that CNA A was calling her names. Administrator stated that Resident #3 would
say things to CNA A like, You probably have a small penis. Administrator stated that she did not get any
other reports from any other residents. Administrator stated that if you can't hold the residents, then how
are you supposed to control when they are fighting you? Administrator stated she is not sure what the
policy says, and she will have to read it to see what it says. Administrator stated that she has heard
complaints from Resident #3 about CNA A, but she believes that she does not like him.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, interviews, and record review the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary,
and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to maintain clean lint traps for both dryer #1 and #2. Staff admitted to only cleaning lint
traps once a day. Dryers #1 and #2 had excessive buildup of lint. Dryer #2 had a broken on/off switch with
plastic strap hanging out of it to keep it propped to the on cycle.
This failure could place residents and staff at risk due to the possibility of fire hazards and placing all
residents and staff at risk for fire, and for laundry not dry quickly fast putting residents on hold to obtain their
clean laundry.
Findings Include:
Observation of the laundry room on 09/07/2023 at 10:20 am revealed dryer #1 with excessive lint buildup
with approximately 3 to 4 inches of lint buildup on the screen and falling onto the base of the lint box. Dryer
#2 had approximately 2 to 3 inches of lint build up on the lint screen with lint falling onto the base of the
dryer lint box.
During an Interview on 09/07/2023 at 10:27 am, Laundry Aide I stated she was trained to clean the lint
traps once a shift. Laundry Aide I stated that she did not realize that the buildup of lint could cause a fire.
Laundry Aide I stated that she will start cleaning the lint traps more often now that she knows. Laundry Aide
I stated she could see how it might start a fire. Laundry Aide I stated that when she was trained , It was
basically really quick in one day by her Supervisor. Laundry Aide I stated that the button on dryer #2 was
broken since she has worked there, and the Facility needed new dryers because it makes it hard to get the
laundry done when the equipment does not work properly. Laundry Aide I stated that it was hard to check
on the lint boxes because the cover has a broken lock on it so they have to use a tool to pry open the door.
Laundry Aide I stated that her supervisor is aware of the broken doors and button on the laundry machines
and have notified the Administrator but nothing had been done. Laundry Aide I stated that they only clean
the screens once because their shifts had been shortened to only 7 hours instead of 8 hours, and there
was no one there to clean them.
During and Interview on 09/07/2023 at 10:34 am, Laundry staff J stated she did not realize that the lint
traps needed cleaning more often but will do that. Laundry staff member J is the attending supervisor of the
laundry. Laundry staff member J stated they were always so busy it was hard to remember to do that.
Laundry Staff J stated she will update the schedule to clean the lint traps more often than once a day.
Laundry staff J stated she does realize it could cause a fire. Laundry staff stated she wasn't really trained it
was just something that she knew. Laundry Staff J stated she did have to cut the hours for staff down to 7
hours a shift. Laundry Staff Member J stated she has made a request a few times to the Administrator
about the broken lint doors and the broken button on the dryer and she has not heard anything about it.
During an Interview on 09/08/2023 at 4:28 pm., the Administrator stated she was not sure what the policy
stated as to how often lint screens were to be checked. The Administrator stated she would expect the staff
to change as often as needed to prevent a fire hazard. The Administrator stated her expectation was to not
let the lint build up, and it was not acceptable to let the lint build up. The
