The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to implement the abuse policy and procedure for [one resident reviewed] regarding not reporting an allegation of abuse.”
An agency Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated that she had worked on March 27, 2017, on the 200 Unit at approximately 6:45 AM. At that time, the CNA “heard screaming from [the resident’s] room.” The CNA and Night Nurse ran together into the resident’s room and found another CNA “standing in front of [the resident] who was sitting up on the side of her bed, and [the CNA] was holding [the resident’s] hands down, and her hands had a hospital gown wrapped around them.”
The reporting CNA stated that “[the resident] was screaming, over and over ‘Stop, Stop.’” The two staff members saw the other CNA “was trying to make [the resident] get up out of bed.” That CNA stated that they had attempted to get the resident out of bed earlier, but she had refused.”
The reporting Certified Nursing Assistant stated that this was the second time they had observed the other CNA “getting residents up early when they did not want to.” The reporting CNA indicated that this was abuse and “did not want any part of it.” The CNA stated that “no one ever talked to me about what I saw. I was fired by the agency I worked for because I called in the abuse report.”
The Unit Manager stated that “she was not made aware of any allegation of abuse [saying that the agency CNA] did not report any concerns regarding abuse to her.” She stated that that staff member had “complained to her that she was not going to get residents up who did not want to get up, and she did not like how another aide spoke to her.”
The Unit Manager stated that she told the CNA “that she was questioning things that had nothing to do with her assignment, that she was being loud and inappropriate, and that she could not talk like that. She stated she never told [the CNA] to make any statements or give them to the Assistant Director of Nursing.”
The Director of Nursing, who also serves as the Abuse Coordinator, stated that “an investigator from another agency came to investigate an allegation of abuse for [the resident].” However, “she was not aware of any reports of abuse for [that resident].”
