During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:03 AM LVN C stated she was not talked to by anyone in

they want to or choose to.

vote. She stated ADM spoke to her about getting residents ready to vote. She stated she was not aware the
facility had a policy that addressed residents' right to vote. AD stated, I truly believe it is very important for
them (residents) to vote if they choose to vote. She stated on 10/07/24 she was told by ADM to talk to
residents about voting so we did that as like an activity. AD stated the facility only had one resident who was
registered to vote in the facility's county and that resident chose not to go vote when the day came. AD did

county. When asked if residents who were registered to vote in other counties were assisted to register in
the facility's county AD stated, They chose not to. When asked if she received an email regarding voter
registration deadlines, AD stated, Yes, and they chose not to. She stated zero residents voted in the 2024
election. She stated she could see how not being assisted to vote in the 2024 election could have
negatively affected residents. AD stated she spoke to Resident #6, and he told her he wanted to vote but
chose not to. She stated she spoke to Resident #5 about voting but Resident #5 did not have any ID as her
purse was misplaced at the last nursing home. AD stated she did not attempt to contact the previous
nursing home or help Resident #5 apply for a new ID so she could register to vote in the facility's county.
She stated she did not speak to Resident #3 about voting in the 2024 election. She did not give a reason
for not speaking to Resident #3. AD stated she did not speak to Resident #4 about voting because
Resident #4 was not feeling well on 10/07/24 when AD held the activity to talk to residents about voting.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 12:11 PM OMB stated the facility was responsible to assist residents
who were not registered in the facility's county to register in that county in time to cast their vote in the 2024
election.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 01:02 PM ADON stated she did not receive any emails, directives, or

of residents not exercising their right to vote was, You don't get the president you want.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 1:08 PM DON stated she did not have any training on assisting
residents to vote. She stated she did receive an email regarding residents voting rights and deadlines to
register to vote. She searched on her computer and stated the email was sent to AD and SW and the
business office manager. DON stated she was copied on the email. She stated the email was sent on
10/04/24. DON stated she was not sure if zero or 1 resident from the facility voted in the 2024 election.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 1:20 PM ADM stated she could not remember if OMB spoke to her
about residents' voting rights because usually when she calls or comes in, she has a lot to tell me. She
stated she did remember receiving an email from OMB about residents' voting rights and deadlines to
register to vote. ADM stated OMB sent her the email on 10/03/24. ADM stated the negative outcome of
residents not being assisted to vote was, They didn't get to exercise that right.

intellectual disability and developmental disability. She required staff assistance with personal hygiene.
Record review of Resident #4's progress notes from 09/06/24 to 10/07/24 revealed the following note
written on 10/06/24 by LVN C:
was alerted per staff CNA resident was washing her hands in to actual toilet basin, states her sink is broken
and she needs to wash her hands somewhere; staff CNA showed resident where a common bathroom is
so that she could wash her hands; .
During an observation and interview on 11/06/24 at 10:09 AM MS was unwrapping a new sink from
cardboard. He stated he was replacing a resident's sink so the resident would have a sink with a cabinet
underneath to make it sturdy. He stated a resident on the locked unit was without a sink for a week. I had to
order it (the sink). MS stated the sink the resident on the locked unit had prior to the new one he ordered
was pulled off the wall by the resident and broke on the floor. Hs said, We are starting to put these in (sinks
with cabinets underneath) because that way when they (residents) pull on it, it has support.
During an observation and interview on 11/06/24 at 10:26 AM Resident #4 was asked if staff helped her
wash her hands she stated, No, they expect us to do that on our own. When asked if she had always had a
sink in her bathroom she stated, No. The sink was weak and I am very strong, and it fell on the floor and
broke to pieces. Resident #4 stated she has a new sink with a cabinet underneath it in her bathroom now.
Resident #4 stated she was not sure how long she was without a sink and added, They didn't replace it
quickly. It took a long time to have a sink in there. I was washing my hands in the commode water, you
know, the clean water, after you flush it, and it fills up with clean water? She stated the sink was out of her
bathroom for more than a week and possibly more than a month.
During an observation and interview on 11/06/24 at 11:45 AM Resident #1's family member stated
Resident #1's bathroom did not have a sink for a few days. She stated, Where was he supposed to wash
his hands. I mean he has Alzheimer's. It is hard for him to remember on a good day when there is a sink.
Resident #1's bathroom, on the locked unit, had a new sink with a cabinet underneath the sink.
2. During an observation on 11/06/24 at 11:51 AM the sink in Room A2 of the locked unit was loosely
attached to the wall. There was a line of whitish caulking along the top back edge of the sink. Between this

During an observation on 11/06/24 at 11:52 AM the sink in Room A9 of the locked unit was loosely
attached to the wall with a space between the top back edge of the sink and wall that measured
approximately 1/8th of an inch. When the sink was touched under the front edge it was easily moved up
and down. One resident resided in Room A9.
Residents Affected - Some
Observations on 11/06/24 from 11:53 AM to 12:03 PM of the other 4 rooms on the locked unit revealed one
room with a pedestal sink and three rooms with sinks that were firmly attached to the wall and when
touched under the front edge were not moveable up or down.
During an interview on 11/06/24 at 12:10 AM DON stated the facility did not have a policy addressing
resident's hand hygiene and the role staff played in said. She stated, No facility has that. It is just standard
precautions that when they have soiled hands, we wash their hands.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:03 AM LVN C stated she could not remember which CNA told her
Resident #4 was washing her hands in the toilet bowl. She stated Resident #4 did not have a sink that day
because her sink had just fallen off and broken on the floor. LVN C stated a resident not having a sink in
their bathroom could be detrimental especially if the resident did not really understand what good hand
hygiene was or had Alzheimer's or dementia. She stated Resident #4's sink was replaced the following day.
She stated she had no knowledge of any other resident being without a sink in their bathroom. LVN C
stated if a resident's sink was not securely fastened to the wall it could fall off the wall.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:19 AM MS stated the only resident room that had been without a
sink for more than a few hours was A4 on the locked unit. He stated Resident #4 had broken two sinks, at
different times, in her bathroom by grabbing them and causing them to fall on the floor. MS stated that was
the reason for replacing her sink with one with a cabinet underneath. He stated she was without a sink for
one evening before he installed the new sink. MS stated, I don't really see it (a resident not having a sink in
their bathroom) being negative. It is just our concern to make sure they get what they need as quick as
possible. They (residents) might see if differently depending on the day they were having. MS stated he had
not noticed any sinks on the locked unit being loosely attached to the wall. He said he could not think of a
negative outcome for residents if sinks were loosely attached to the wall.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:25 MS stated he had looked at the sinks in the locked unit. He stated,
I see what you are saying (about some of the sinks being loose). He stated the sinks were made to slide
into a bracket and would, therefore, always be loose. He stated he would have to put a pedestal under the
sinks to keep them from being loose. He stated he was not sure why some sinks were loose, and others
were not.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 01:02 PM ADON stated she knew some residents' sinks were loose
because the residents used the sinks to pull themselves up to standing. She stated loose sinks could result
in residents hurting themselves. She stated when a sink is broken it is a process to order a new sink and
get it installed. She stated that process would probably take a couple days. She stated not having a
functional sink in their bathrooms could affect residents negatively, Because they need to wash hands after
they use the bathroom.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 01:08 PM DON stated she knew of one resident who did not have a

common area of the locked unit. He had a purple spot the size of a quarter down and to the left of his left
eye. He was able to shake hands and introduce himself. When asked how the bruise happened, Resident
#1 smiled and said he did not know.
During an interview on 11/06/24 at 11:40 AM Resident #1's family member stated the family was concerned
about him having a black eye and bruising to his face.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:03 AM LVN C stated the protocol when a resident had an injury of
unknown origin was to first of all report it to everybody, DON, ADON, doctor, family, and then investigate to
figure out what happened. She stated she did not really know anything about Resident #1's black eye
except that after he had the original black eye, she witnessed him accidently hit himself in the face with the
phone receiver in the lobby area. She stated she and the ADON were present during that incident. LVN C
stated an injury of unknown origin was to be reported immediately.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 11:28 AM CNA E and CNA F stated they noticed Resident #1's bruise at
the same time LVN G noticed the bruise. They stated an injury of unknown origin was to be reported
immediately to the nurse.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 01:02 PM ADON stated injuries of unknown origin are to be reported
immediately. She said if an injury of unknown origin was not reported immediately it could get worse. ADON
stated she and DON did an investigation into Resident #1's black eye and they were unable to determine
how it happened. She stated she saw Resident #1 hit himself in the face with the phone receiver two days
after he got the black eye.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 01:08 PM DON stated LVN G notified her about Resident #1's black eye
via a voicemail message at 06:47 PM on 10/27/24. DON stated she was taking a nap and did not listen to
the message until 09:20 PM the same day and she called ADM at 09:30 PM to notify her of the injury. DON
stated staff were to report injuries of unknown origin immediately to administration and administration was
to report them to state within 24 hours. When asked why Resident #1's injury of unknown origin was not
reported within 24 hours to state, DON stated, Because we were conducting our investigation. She stated
she could not think of a possible negative outcome of not reporting to state timely because he was not in
any immediate harm.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 01:20 PM ADM stated she was notified by DON via text message on
10/27/24 of Resident #1 black eye. She stated the injury was not reported to state within 24 hours because,
When it first happened the working idea was that him picking up that phone with his left hand and they
observed him hitting himself in the face. I was investigating and had a working probability but with daughter
not feeling comfortable with that I decided to self-report it. She stated she did not think there was a possible
negative outcome of not reporting timely because Resident #1 was safe, no falls, no incidents with
residents or staff and we had him on neuro (neurological) checks and x-ray.
During an interview on 11/07/24 at 03:12 PM LVN G stated she reported Resident #1's black eye to DON
right away after I assessed him. She stated injuries of unknown origin were to be reported right away. She
stated a resident might be abused or neglected if an injury was not reported timely.
