- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date August 10, 2018
- Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect or Theft and Report the Results of the Investigation to Proper Authorities – citation #F609 date September 19, 2018
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure the resident’s right to be free from physical abuse [when a] Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and a Recreational Nursing Assistant (RNA) pinned [the resident’s] arms down for a finger stick to obtain a blood sugar [sample] against her will.”
As a “result of this deficient practice, [the resident] became upset, irritable, aggressive, agitated, combative, and refused to eat lunch.” A review of the resident’s admission records indicated that the severely cognitively impaired resident “did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.”
The “facility failed to report an alleged abuse incident within two hours to the Department of Health Services.” This “deficient practice had the potential to place [the resident] and other residents in the facility at risk for abuse.” A review of the resident’s History and Physical Report indicated that the resident “had the capacity to understand and make decisions.”
The resident’s documentation shows that while the resident used staff’s assistance with bed mobility, dressing, toilet use and personal hygiene, the resident also used “a wheelchair for movement.” A Progress Note from April 5, 2018, at 1:30 PM indicated that the resident “(female) was inappropriately touched by [a male resident].”
The Activities Director notified the Social Worker that they had observed the male resident touching the female resident’s “right arm of the right side of the breast. The notes indicate that the residents were immediately separated. The note also indicated that [the male resident] never had any episodes of touching inappropriately.” The male resident had told the facility that “he knew what he was doing.”
