- Failure to Report and Investigate Any Act or Reports of Abuse, Neglect or Mistreatment of Residents – citation #F225 date May 3, 2017
The state investigators determined that “the facility did not ensure that all alleged violations involving mistreatment, neglect, or abuse, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident property, were reported immediately to the Administrator of the facility and other officials [according to] State law through established procedures.”
Specifically, “one abuse allegation was not initially reported to the State Survey Agency [timely].” As a part of the investigation, the facility Executive Director “provided the last three abuse investigations completed by the facility, including an abuse investigation for [one resident involved in this investigation].”
That resident had reported that a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) assisted the resident “after the fall [and] observed the call light to be between the mattress and the assist bar.” The resident “was soiled.” The call light “was within reach but tucked behind the mattress and the bed assist bar.”
The LPN confirmed that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was the resident’s “assigned caregiver.” The LPN “was unable to say whether there was any intention to hide the call light as alleged but did say that it would have been difficult for [the resident] to pull it out from behind the mattress.”
Another CNA said that the potentially abusive CNA had “helped with the fall [and] also stated that the resident was soiled and that the call light was tucked between the mattress and the bed assist bar. They both described the assist bar being four inches wide with a small opening on the top for [the resident] to pull and position in bed.”
The surveyors interviewed the resident who stated that the allegedly abusive CNA “was very unkind that day and that he felt that he was mistreated by her. He stated she did change his [colostomy] bag, but she did not clean him up after, and left him in soiled clothing.”
