The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure [one resident] was provided the necessary protection and interventions [according to] facility abuse policy and procedure. This failure resulted in [the resident] experiencing verbal abuse, which caused psychological harm and emotional distress.” The state investigators conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to “investigate a facility-reported incident regarding an allegation of resident abuse.”
The MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator provided a written statement indicating that the resident “was upset and demanded that something be done [regarding] the staff awakening her and calling her ‘Coo Coo.’” The investigators found the resident in the resident’s room “lying in bed, alert, and anxious. She stated she was upset with the abuse she had received from the staff.”
The resident stated that “she could not stop thinking about the treatment she had received [saying that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)] had scared her by standing over her and clapping her hands loudly.”
The resident said that “she was making fun of me [saying that after she was awakened, the CNA] laughed at her and called her ‘Coo Coo.’” The resident further stated that the CNA “had gone into her room [and said], ‘hello’ to her roommate.” The resident stated that “her voice just gave me the chills [and further said that] she did not understand the reason the CNA treated her so badly.” The resident said that she felt that the CNA “would retaliate against her.”
