- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse, Physical Punishment, and Being Separated from Others – citation #F223 date October 14, 2017
The state investigators determined that the facility “failed to prevent verbal abuse for [one resident] by failing to investigate [the resident’s] alleged verbal abuse allegation by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which occurred on August 1, 2017.” The nursing home also failed to “take necessary steps to prevent a recurrence of the alleged verbal abuse.”
The resident notified the facility on the day of the incident that a CNA “used foul language (bad words) when providing care to her, which made her feel threatened and requested [the CNA] not be assigned to her care and not come in the resident’s room.”
However, the facility staff CNA came to the resident’s room to care for the resident’s roommate. On August 26, 2017, the CNA “was slamming doors in the resident’s room, which resulted in an altercation with the resident and the CNA.” A Licensed Vocational Nurse heard the altercation.
The state investigators made an unannounced visit to the facility to investigate “a staff-to-resident altercation of verbal abuse by the [CNA] to the resident.” A review of the resident’s Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score and MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment indicated that the resident had no cognitive impairment but “requires limited assistance with activities of daily living.”
The Interdisciplinary Progress Note from that day indicated that the resident requested that the CNA not be assigned for her care and said the altercation had occurred. The resident stated that she “felt threatened for her safety and security. The ombudsman was contacted and a voice message was left.” A Report of Suspected Dependent Elder/Adult Abuse was filed.
