- Failure to Report and Investigate Any Act or Reports of Abuse, Neglect or Mistreatment of Residents – citation #F225 date November 23, 2016
According to state investigators, “it was determined the facility failed to ensure prescreening of employees was completed through fingerprint screening and also failed to investigate and report an allegation of neglect.” In one incident, the surveyors reviewed an employee file for a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and a Disciplinary Action Form noting that the “employee failed to change the [assigned resident’s] incontinence [brief].”
The “form was checked for termination [to fire the employee but] then changed to a written warning. The form was signed by the CNA and a Registered Nurse (RN).
The survey team interviewed a resident just before dinnertime on November 20, 2016. The investigators asked, “if she had to wait a long time before care was provided. She nodded her head to indicate yes and pointed to her call light.” The surveyors asked, “how long she had to wait to receive care. She indicated with [no] her hands when asked if it was fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, and then indicated yes with her head when reaching forty-five minutes.”
The surveyors asked, “if she had ever been left soiled for long periods of time. She indicated yes with her head. She was asked if other staff had come and cleaned her up. She again indicated yes with her head.”
The surveyors interviewed a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) a few minutes later and asked “to define neglect. She stated neglect is when a resident did not receive the care they needed, such as incontinent care.” The investigators asked, “what the facility policy was for reporting abuse or neglect. She stated it was to be reported immediately to the Charge Nurse.”
The survey team then asked, “if she had to report anyone from neglect. She stated about a month ago she found [the resident] soiled with dried feces on the pillow and her nightgown. She also stated the resident had been cared for by [another CNA].”
The reporting CNA stated that the incident had been reported to the Charge Nurse and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). An LPN on Duty verified that “she did not know if anything had been investigated” or reported to “required agencies, including the Oklahoma State Department of Health.”
