This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review the facility failed to ensure consents for
treatment and services are obtained from
competent residents who were determined by
the physician to have the capacity to make
informed decisions about their care for one of
16 sampled residents (Resident 8). This had
the potential to result in inappropriate care and
services for the resident.
Findings:
During an observation on 10/12/17 at 5:33
p.m., Resident 8 was in his wheelchair having
dinner in the hallway. When asked for the date
and location Resident 8 was unable to answer.
The clinical record for Resident 8 was reviewed
on 10/13/17. The Admission Record (face
sheet) indicated resident was admitted to the
facility on 10/8/14 and readmitted on 2/28/17,
with diagnosis of schizophrenia (a long-lasting
and reoccurring mental illness that causes
disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in
life, and strong or inappropriate emotions).

The Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized

7/19/17, indicated Resident 8 had cognitive
impairment.
A review of the History and Physical, dated
3/1/17 indicated Resident 8 does not have the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
The monthly recapitulation of the physicians
orders dated 10/1/17 to 10/31/17, indicated
psychotherapeutic medications were ordered
for Resident 8. The physician's orders
indicated to administer the following:
Ativan 1 milligram (mg) orally as needed every
six hours for anxiety disorder, since 2/28/17.
Seroquel 50 mg orally at bedtime for
schizophrenia, since 5/9/17.
Risperdal 2 mg orally for schizophrenia
manifested by resisting care, since 2/28/17.
The medication consent forms dated 11/16/16
and 5/9/17, reflected that the resident's
physician informed Resident 8 about the
psychotropic medications that he would be
giving. The resident, a physician, and a nurse
from the facility signed this form.
During an interview with the director of nursing
(DON) on 10/13/17 at 5:41 PM, she reviewed
Resident 8's medical record and verified
Resident 8 did not have the capacity to make
informed decision and the consents should not
have been signed by the resident. The DON
further stated the bioethics committee should
have meet to discuss the treatment for
Resident 8.

The resident has the right to be free from
abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident
property, and exploitation as defined in this
subpart. This includes but is not limited to
freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary
seclusion and any physical or chemical
restraint not required to treat the resident’s
symptoms.
483.12(a) The facility must(a)(1) Not use verbal, mental, sexual, or
physical abuse, corporal punishment, or
involuntary seclusion;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to prevent verbal
abuse for one of 16 sampled residents
(Resident 14) by failing to:
1. Investigate Resident 14's alleged verbal
abuse by CNA 2 which occurred on 8/1/17.
2. Take necessary steps to prevent recurrence
of the alleged verbal abuse.
Resident 14 notified the facility on 8/1/17 CNA
2 had used foul language (bad words) when
providing care to her which made her feel
threatened and requested Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA 2) not to be assigned to her
care and not to come in Resident 14's room.
The facility staff (CNA 2) continued to come in
Resident 14's room taking care of Resident
14's roommates.
On 8/26/17, CNA 2 was slamming doors in
Resident 14's room which resulted in an
altercation between Resident 14 and CNA 2.
The altercation was overheard by LVN 2.

Findings:
On 10/12/17 at 8:52 a.m., an unannounced visit
was made to the facility to investigate a staffto-resident allegation of verbal abuse by a
facility staff (CNA 2) towards Resident 14.
A review of Resident 14's Admission Record
indicated the resident was admitted to the
facility on 5/10/12 and readmitted 1/17/15, with
diagnoses that included legally blind and End
Stage Renal Disease (ESRD/when the kidneys
are no longer able to remove the excess waste
and water from the body).
The Minimum Data Set (MDS), a standardized
assessment and care planning tool, dated
8/22/17, indicated Resident 14 scored 15 on
the brief interview for mental status (BIMS, a
score of 15 means no cognitive impairment)
and required limited assistance in activities of
daily living.
A review of the Interdisciplinary Progress
Notes, dated 8/26/17 at 10:48 p.m., indicated
Resident 14 requested not to assign CNA 2 to
care for her. The note further indicated
Resident 14 had an altercation with CNA 2 in
the morning of 8/26/17, and Resident 14 felt
threatened for her safety and security. The
Ombudsman was contacted and a voice
message was left.
A review of the Report of Suspected
Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse (SOC 341) dated
8/28/17, indicated on 8/26/17, around 10:00
a.m., Resident 14 alleged that CNA 2 yelled at
her the morning of 8/26/17. The form further
indicated the type of abuse reported was
verbal.
During an interview on 10/14/17, at 10:21 a.m.,

incident was reported to her because CNA 2
used a loud voice in Resident 14's room, and
CNA 2 felt Resident 14 was not happy with
him.
During an interview with the Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN 2), on 10/14/17 at 10:35
a.m., when asked about the incident on
8/26/17, LVN 2 stated he heard a loud noise
and Resident 14 yelling. LVN 2 further stated
he went to Resident 14's room to see why the
resident was yelling. LVN 2 stated Resident 14
was upset and told LVN 2, CNA 2 was
slamming doors and scared her. Resident 14
asked CNA 2 to stop and that was when CNA 2
yelled back at Resident 14. LVN 2 stated he
separated CNA 2 from Resident 14 because it
was a form of verbal abuse.
During an interview with Resident 14, on
10/14/17, at 1:00 p.m., when asked about the
incident she stated she had told the facility's
staff she did not want CNA 2 as her CNA early
in the month of August (8/1/17). Resident 14
stated she reported to the Director of Staff
Development (DSD), CNA 2 would enter her
room and would address her using foul
language such as "Mrs ... how the F*** are you
today?). And she didn't have to deal with that
type of treatment. Resident 14 further stated
CNA 2 was a "young at risk kid" and didn't have
to deal with his behavior and felt threatened
due to her blindness and uncertainty of not
knowing what to expect from a person with that
behavior. When asked if she was okay with the
CNA coming into her room to care for the other
two residents (RSR 19 and 21) in her room,
Resident 14 responded "I preferred him (CNA
2) not to come in," she further stated she was
told the "facility was short of staff."

Development (DSD), on 10/14/17 at 1:32 p.m.,

she stated Resident 14 reported to her on
8/1/17 that she did not want CNA 2 assigned to
her. The DSD further stated Resident 14
reported CNA 2 spoke foul language and
referred CNA 2 as "El Cholo" (a term used to
refer to a teenage boy who is a member of a
street gang). When asked if CNA 2 was still
assigned to Resident 14's room after the report
she stated "Yes".
There was no evidence the facility staff
investigated Resident 14's allegation of verbal
abuse after it was reported on 8/1/17.
A review of the assignment sheet from 8/1/17
to 8/25/17 indicated CNA 2 continued to come
in Resident 14's room to care for the
roommates (RSR 19 and 21) on 8/7/17 and
8/25/17.
A review of the undated facility's policy and

Prevention of Resident abuse," indicated the
facility shall institute procedures of identifying
events that constitute abuse and shall make
reasonable efforts to protect residents from
harm during the investigation process.

not have emergency kits at the residents'
bedside if there was bleeding at the access
sites. The DON stated that staff would have to
go to the treatment cart for supplies. The DON
also stated that only licensed staff had access
to it and it would be hard for unlicensed staff to
get to it for the resident. The DON stated that
they would have to work on having something
more readily accessible to staff.
During an interview, on 10/13/17 at 4:55 p.m.,
a certified nursing assistant (CNA 1) stated that
if a dialysis resident was bleeding at the access
site she would run and get the charge nurse to
assess the resident. CNA 1 stated she was not
provided with training for residents with dialysis
and has been working here for 10 years.
During an interview, on 10/13/17 at 5 p.m.,
CNA 3 stated that if the resident was bleeding

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility staff failed to verify indication
of use of an indwelling catheter and monitor for
the presence of sediments in the urine for one
(Resident 6) of 3 residents who had urinary
catheters out of a sample of 16 residents. This
deficiency had the potential to result in a delay
of necessary care and treatment for the
residents.
Findings:
On 10/12/17 at 9:21 a.m., during the initial tour
observation with Registered Nurse (RN 1),
Resident 6 was observed in bed awake and
alert. RN 1 verified Resident 6 had an
indwelling urinary catheter draining yellow urine
with moderate amount of sediments (small
particles floating in the urine) in the urinary
catheter tubing.
Resident 6's admission face sheet revealed the
resident was readmitted to the facility on
8/6/16, with diagnosis of paraplegia and
diabetes.
A review of a care plan dated 8/29/17,
indicated the resident at risk for urinary tract
infection related to an indwelling catheter, The
care plan intervention indicated the resident will
be monitored for urine output amount and
characteristics (such as to color, clarity,
amount, and presence of sediments).
During an interview with the treatment nurse,
on 10/12/17 at 5:00 p.m., he stated he was
unaware of the sediments and will check
Resident 6's output.

p.m., the DON stated that the resident had a
fall on 5/20/17 and was placed on the Falling
Star Program. The DON stated that the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) decided that
placement of a padded mat for intervention
should be added to minimize fall injury. The
DON stated that according to the Falling StarIDT Review, dated 9/8/17, indicated Resident 5
was discontinued from the falling star program
due to no falls in the last six months.
During another interview and record review, on

regarding no falls in the last six months and
that it was only four months since the last fall.
The DON stated that the IDT also did not
indicate that the nursing interventions were
discontinued and was continued to be
monitored for falls prevention. The DON also
stated that the care plans were not revised to
reflect the IDT nursing interventions to prevent
falls and/or minimize injury.
A review of the facilities undated policy and
procedure titled, "Fall Prevention Policy and
Procedure," indicated that the IDT would
review the resident assessment, care plan, and
document fall prevention approaches and
interventions. If a fall occurred, assessment
and updated interventions would be discussed
and documented by the IDT or fall prevention
team. Suggested interventions included but not
limited to the following: assess need for bed
alarm, low bed, and/or floor mat; document
resident's response to interventions and alter
interventions if not successful.
