The facility failed to keep Resident #1 free from abuse when CNA A roughly provided incontinent care to him on 06/07/2024. This failure could place residents at risk of abuse, humiliation, intimidation, fear, shame, agitation and a decreased quality of life. Findings include: Record review of a Grievance/Complaint Report dated 06/07/2024, received by ADON B reflected Resident #1's family member requested gentle movements of his legs during care.

Resident #1 was not heard groaning or making any indications of pain. CNA A and CNA C provided incontinent care to Resident #1. In attempts to roll Resident #1 onto his right-side CNA A pushed Resident #1 with one hand on his hip and the other on his upper torso, when Resident #1 did not roll onto his right side she used more force and repeatedly and aggressively pushed on his buttocks and mid back to get him to stay on his right side. CNA C did not attempt to assist CNA A with rolling Resident #1 onto his right-side. Once Resident #1 was on his right-side CNA C held Resident #1 so he would stay on his side. CNA A snatched the soiled brief out from under Resident #1 and threw it from where she stood on his left side to the trash can across the bed on the right side of the room. CNA A stuck a clean brief under Resident #1 then hastily tugged and pulled Resident #1 to the left side towards her by his upper left shoulder and posterior upper left leg causing Resident #1's legs to come off the side of the bed swiftly . During an interview on 10/15/2024 at 12:45 PM, Resident #1 stated he had been handled roughly by two staff members at the facility. Resident #1 stated he did not know the names of the staff, but he knew one aide continued to work at the facility after the incident occurred on 06/07/2024 but not on his hall. Resident #1 said he saw the aide around the dining area on several occasions. Resident #1 said he had not seen the other aide in a good while, so he was not sure if she worked at the facility any longer. Resident #1 said it scared him when CNA A provided care because the movement was rough and fast and made him feel unsafe like he was going to fall out of bed onto the floor. Resident #1 stated the staff started to use the Hoyer lift today, but they usually did not. During an interview on 10/15/2024 at 01:21 PM, Resident #1's family member stated she was very upset upon viewing the camera video of how rough the aide was during the incontinent care and transfer. Resident's #1's family member stated she immediately contacted ADON B and the DON regarding the unnecessary roughness used when providing care to Resident #1 on 06/07/2024. Resident #1's family member said she provided ADON B and the DON with the two videos which included incontinent care and a transfer. She said the video with the incontinent care showed all the aggressiveness and roughness by CNA A. Resident #1's family member said the second video showed the aide getting the nurse to help Resident #1 get up to hold his walker because he was having difficulty opening his hand. Resident #1's family member stated ADON B and the DON both stated they could not see the videos that the screens were just black. Resident #1's family member stated she offered to come to the facility on this date and show the DON the videos and the DON declined the offer.
