- Failure to Develop, Implement and Enforce Policies That Prevent Mistreatment, Neglect or Abuse of Residents – citation #F226 date September 26, 2017
The state investigators determined that “the facility failed, for [three residents], to identify an incident as potential abuse or neglect and investigate it to rule out potential abuse or neglect when a car hit the facility.” It was determined that “this failure placed all residents at risk for being abused or neglected.”
The investigation involved a resident who “was able to make their own decisions, communicate effectively, and self-propel a wheelchair for mobility.” The resident had asked the investigator, “if the damage to the room was visible. During the ensuing conversation, [the resident] said a car had backed up into their room, #410.” The resident said that “no one was hurt, but the facility moved the three residents to other rooms in the facility while repairs were being made.”
The investigators had the Maintenance Director unlocked Room 410 to “show the progress of repairs.” The “heating and cooling unit was not repaired, but the large windows were in order. The resident’s belongings were still obvious in the room.” A staff member stated that a contracted Intravenous Therapy/Hospice Nurse had “accelerated backward up a slight grade over the raised flower bed through the wooden fence regarding the resident walkway and into [Room #410] damaging the windows, heating/cooling unit, and wall.”
The facility Care Manager stated that “a resident was in the room between bed two and bed three.” The staff removed the resident who “had no injury; she was [shaken], but okay. The back end of the car was at the window to the room.” The receptionist called 911.
Investigators determined that the “facility did not follow facility policy, or state and federal regulation when they failed to identify an incident as potential abuse or neglect.” They also did not “investigate the incident and then document their findings [to] rule out potential abuse and neglect when they determined that the car hitting the facility was an accident.”
