The nursing home “failed to keep residents free from verbal abuse. This [failure] was found to be evident for three out of thirty residents.
The state survey team reviewed the facility’s investigation reports that revealed “the following statement made by a Geriatric Nursing Assistant.” The GNA said “as I was coming up to (name of the unit) this morning, I heard [another staff member say to the resident] do you think just because your hollering that is going to make me come here. When she/he ‘seen’ me, she/he got on the phone and called down to [the other unit].”
A third GNA stated that she needed to come down there because the resident was hollering. As the reporting GNA walked on the hall, they heard the resident holler some comment. At that point, the verbally abusive caregiver said, “I am sick of this hollering.” The administration received a report of the incident and began an investigation.
During the investigation, the Administrator found another individual stating that “the nurse was inappropriate the way she/he spoke.” As a part of the investigation, the nurse “was suspended during the investigation and was later terminated and the Board of Nursing was notifed.”
According to state investigators, “the nursing staff failed to properly secure medications left unattended on the resident’s over-the-bed table.” The surveyors interviewed the resident on the morning of July 31, 2018 and noted that “the over-the-bed table had seven white pills lying on it.” The resident “was coughing, stating he/he had choked on a big pill and would get to the others in a minute.”
The investigators noted that “the medication had been left by [the nurse for the resident] to self-administer.” The Medication Administration Record “had been signed by [the nurse] indicating the morning medications had been given when [the resident] was still self-administering.”
During an interview with the Director of Nursing, the Director was “made aware, and she stayed with [the resident] until the medications were taken safely.” The Director confirmed that on that morning at 9:05 AM, “that the medications were left for [the resident] to self-administer and [the resident] had not been assessed for self-administration.”
