The federal government and Virginia Department of Public Health website update comprehensive information containing historical details of all citations and violations.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed [for one resident] to ensure that the resident was free from verbal abuse.” Specifically, “the facility staff failed to ensure that she was free of verbal abuse by facility staff on two occasions.”
The investigation involved a resident who was “independent in daily decision-making ability” but requires “the physical assistance of two persons for transfers and toilet use.”
On October 3, 2018, at 11:00 AM, the surveyors interviewed the resident with a facility liaison in attendance. The resident stated that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) “had frequently yelled and screamed at me and bullied me.” The resident stated that the CNA “was abusive to her whenever she entered the room in response to the call bell and had become intolerable to work with.”
The resident stated that the CNA “had repeated the abusive behavior on October 2, 2018” and that “she usually uses the call bell to received incontinence care assistance. She further stated she had complained about her previously because she is the only one who will commit to working on the weekends.”
Additionally, the resident stated that “she had recently reported another CNA for calling her a liar when she stated that incontinence care had not been provided.” The following day on October 3, 2018, the facility documentation was reviewed that indicated that on February 6, 2018, the first mentioned CNA “had received a written warning” for their failure to “comply with the company’s policies and procedures.”
These failures included “not answering the call bells.” The investigators reviewed the staff schedule that revealed that the allegedly verbally abusive CNA “did work with the resident on October 2, 2018.”
A Facility Reported Incident report documented that the second abusive CNA “who was reported for verbal abuse toward [the resident] would be “re-educated on the Abuse Policy.” The Administrator reported that the first CNA “had been suspended and that the allegation had been reported to the Virginia Department of Health – Office of Long-Term Care.”
