Resident 8's fall score was 6 (a score of 10 or more indicated high risk for falls). A fall risk evaluation, dated 8/25/24, indicated no falls in the past 3 months and no noted drop in blood pressure between lying and standing. Resident 8's fall score was 8. On 8/29/24, an order was placed for a 72 hour follow up charting every shift for the fall on 8/25/24 to document in progress notes for 3 days. An Interdisciplinary (IDT) note, dated 9/3/24, indicated Resident 8 had fallen and the care plan had been updated.

On 9/12/24 at 1:15 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated falls were typically reviewed from the previous day at the morning meetings. If a fall occurred over the weekend, it was reviewed on Monday morning. She indicated she learned Resident 8 may have had a fall on 8/29/24, and at that time reached out to the nurse to see if anything had been initiated and apparently had not. It was then when the 72 hour post fall follow up had been put in, although it had already been 72 hours post fall. She indicated when filling out fall risk evaluations, the fall that occurred that same day should be counted in the history of falls, and that staff would need to be inserviced on that. She further indicated the nurses that filled out the fall risk evaluations on 2/4/24 and 8/25/24 and marked no drop in blood pressure from lying to standing did not actually check the blood pressure at the time the forms were filled out.

LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 6, on 9/13/24 at 10:05 A.M., indicated that when charting in the treatment administration record for side effects, when it is marked yes it means the resident was monitored for side effects. LPN also indicated if she were to observe side effects during her shift that she puts in a progress note regarding them. On 9/13/24 at 10:50 A.M., the DON indicated that she called the nursing staff who had been marking y in the treatment administration record for side effects. This nursing staff indicated that she was under the impression that she should have been marking y, meaning yes she was monitoring the resident for side effects. On 9/12/24 at 2:20 P.M., the Administrator provided a current, non-dated, Staff Nurse job description. She indicated at that time that the information would serve as a facility policy.

She indicated the only difference between what the resident was ordered (Novolog FlexPen) and what had been given (Novolin R) is that one was fast acting, and one was intermediate acting. She indicated at that time that Novolog and Novolin were the same thing.

Based on interview, observation, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food was stored and prepared safely in accordance with professional standards for food service for 2 of 2 kitchen observations. The staff lacked knowledge of the test strips used to test the sanitation chemicals in 1 of 2 observations of dishwasher use. Foods were not labeled correctly and a used cooking utensil was dropped into the food to be served. Findings include: 1. On [DATE] at 9:53 A.M., the following was observed in the kitchen: 5- loaves of bread were on a shelf not labeled Refrigerator: Mechanical sausage dated ,d+[DATE] (no year) Beef stew dated ,d+[DATE] (no year) Gravy dated ,d+[DATE] (no year) Gallon of dill pickles opened ,d+[DATE] (no year) Pear sauce dated ,d+[DATE] (no year) 4 packs of sliced cheese in plastic wrap each dated ,d+[DATE] (no year) Dishwasher: During an interview on [DATE] at 10:15 A.M., Kitchen Staff 1 indicated the dishwasher needed to run 3 times before it got to the correct temperature if it had not been used recently. She indicated she was not sure what sanitized the dishes, the temperature or the chemicals. There was an undated bottle of test strips on top of the machine that started testing at 200 ppm. She indicated this was the bottle they used for testing the sanitation chemical ppm (parts per million). During an interview on [DATE] at 10:25 A.M., Kitchen Staff 1 indicated the test strips were used once a day and if it was not checked in the morning, then they would check at night to make sure the ppm was high enough. She took the bottle of test strips down from the top of the dishwasher and tested the water 6 times indicating that the ppm should be ,d+[DATE] ppm but this test strip color was not changing. At that time, the Dietary Manager indicated that the strips almost always measured 400 ppm and she was not sure why it was not working now because the maintenance man had just been there a couple weeks ago to work on the dishwasher tubing. The dietary manager went to get another bottle of strips that was identical to the first bottle from her office and Kitchen Staff 1 re-tested the machine 2 more times but the strip color did not change. The dietary manager indicated she would call the dishwasher maintenance man to come look at the machine at that time. On [DATE] at 10:45 A.M., the testing logs were reviewed for the dishwasher and indicated from [DATE] to [DATE] the AM, Noon, and PM wash temperature was 120 degrees and the rinse was 50 ppm. At that time, Kitchen Staff 1 indicated that the temperature and ppm that were in the book were the actual tested values. On [DATE] at 10:49 A.M., the Dietary Manager brought a different litmus paper roll to Kitchen Staff 1. There was not a key to compare the test strip to, only the picture on the box. The Administrator observed the test strip color indicating 200 ppm. On [DATE] at 10:53 P.M., the Dietary Manager found another litmus paper roll. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:15 A.M., the Kitchen Manager indicated she found the other test strips in her desk drawer. At that time, she indicated the bottle of test strips we saw was what they were using and the test strips were indicating 400 ppm before the maintenance man worked on the machine. She indicated staff should have been using both the bottle of test strips and the other litmus paper. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:35 A.M., the Administrator indicated the flustered kitchen staff had accidentally used the test strips for testing the sanitation of the 3 compartment sink. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:36 P.M., the Kitchen Manager indicated they would have a meeting with kitchen all kitchen staff to go over everything so all staff know which strips to use and where they are kept. At that time, she indicated they test the machine daily but should actually be checking it after each meal.

They put that days date on it and count that day for day 1 and keep for 3 days. At that time, she indicated she tried to look at the food in the refrigerator for outdated items when she got there in the mornings. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:30 A.M., the Dishwasher Maintenance Man indicated he didn't really look at the logs but would check the chlorine ppm each time he came which was usually once a month or sooner if needed. At that time, he indicated the bottle of test strips that tested 200 ppm and above would not be appropriate to test the dishwasher because if the chlorine ppm was testing that high, they could have big problems, possibly toxic levels, because it's only expected to be ,d+[DATE] ppm for proper sanitation. During an interview on [DATE] at 11:35 A.M., the Administrator indicated their dishwasher policy didn't specify which test strip staff should use and they would follow the dishwasher manufacturer's guidelines. 38770 2. On [DATE] at 10:08 A.M., the Kitchen Manager was observed to prepare puree meals for lunch. She was observed to wash her hands, did not put on gloves, and walked to the opposite side of the kitchen to look at a recipe binder, touching the papers.

Urine culture revealed > 100,000 CFU [colony forming units] E. Coli [the bacteria Escherichia coli usually found in stool] and > 100,000 CFU Morganella morganii . E. coli was multi-drug resistance reflective of ESBL [Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase enzymes produced by some bacteria that may make them resistant to some antibiotics .production is associated with bacteria usually found in the bowel] E. Coli . blood cultures were also positive 2 of 2 for E. coli . the patient was started on IV [intravenous] Zosyn [an antibiotic] . received aggressive IV hydration on admission . prior to discharge he was transitioned to ertapenem once daily to complete a course of 14 doses. He will have repeat labs prior to his follow-up with his accepting physician [doctor's name]. The clinical record lacked a CBC lab result from the 3/30/23 order. During an interview on 9/8/23 at 9:52 A.M., the Administrator indicated no order was put in for that cbc so it was not completed. During an interview on 9/8/23 at 10:00 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated that she was not sure why the urine specimen was not collected after being ordered on 4/27/23 because they would just collect it from the catheter. She was not sure why it was not collected until 5/2/23 at 10:00 P.M. She indicated the blanks and N/A documented in the TAR were because staff would sometimes document total urine output on the TAR for their shift instead of marking down every two hours as ordered. hospitalization #2: A progress note on 9/2/23 at 12:42 P.M., indicated Resident noted to be very lethargic and weak during lunch this shift. Resident also noted to have poor PO [by mouth] intake as well. Upon assessment this nurse notes resident to have turbid urine in catheter bag and tubing.

An MD progress note, dated 9/8/23 at 12:06 P.M., indicated . I was asked to evaluate the patient for recurrent urinary tract infections . patient had a suprapubic catheter done by [doctor's name] for hypospadias due to pressure necrosis from chronic indwelling catheter which has been placed because of urinary retention but unfortunately the patient did not have a follow-up with urologist nor the [sic] urologist recommended [sic] any follow-up after the procedure from February . patient has multiple rounds of urinary tract infections . based on my evaluation i feel that the patient would best benefit from a broad-spectrum coverage [sic] like Macrobid 100 mg daily as prophylaxis we could give him prophylaxis for a month to see if it would change his outcome and based on that we can continue that change it or discontinue . I have also recommended the staff to make a follow-up appointment with urologist . Interview on 9/8/23 at 10:05 A.M., the DON indicated they discovered a problem with the lab process in place and made revisions to it in June. Interview on 9/11/23 at 9:38 A.M., Qualified Medication Aide (QMA) 21 indicated the nurses change out the catheter bag and tubing. When she emptied the urine catheter bag, she looked at the urine to observe for clarity. She indicated if Resident 4 doesn't feel good, he would usually stop talking and lean to the side. Interview on 9/11/23 at 9:51 A.M., LPN 3 indicated Resident 4 was more cognitive than others. She monitored his eating, urine output, urine color, and resident's speech. On her shift, she would monitor his catheter site and watch for abdominal pain or distention. Interview on 9/11/23 at 10:15 A.M., the Administrator indicated the hospital should have seen he's been there multiple times for UTIs and had urology consulted there instead of him just having another hospital stay and then send him back without an antibiotic to complete. She indicated urology hadn't been involved since they put in his catheter and hadn't recommended follow-up. At that time, she indicated the doctor had been in to evaluate the resident, put him on a prophylactic antibiotic, and ordered a urology follow up. Interview on 9/11/23 at 10:30 A.M., the Administrator indicated there wasn't a policy for UTIs, but they use McGreer's criteria for antibiotic usage. An undated current undated Antibiotic Stewardship Policy was provided by the Infection Preventionist on 9/11/23 at 10:11 A.M., and indicated Antibiotic usage and outcome data will be collected and documented using a facility approved antibiotic surveillance tracking form. The data will be used to guide decisions for improvement of individual resident antibiotic prescribing practices and facility-wide antibiotic stewardship . An undated Suprapubic Catheter Care Policy was provided by the DON on 9/11/23 at 10:24 A.M., and indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to prevent skin irritation around the stoma site and to prevent infection of the resident's urinary tract . General Guidelines 1. Observe the resident's urine level for noticeable increases or decreases. If the level stays the same, or increases rapidly . 3. Check the urine for unusual appearance (i.e., color, blood, etc) 5. Check the resident frequently to be sure the tubing is free of kinks . 8. Observe the resident for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection and urinary retention . 3.1-41(a)(2)

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for sliding scale insulin. A resident did not receive sliding scale insulin when it was indicated by the acucheck. (Resident 27) Findings include: On 9/7/23 at 11:06 A.M., Resident 27's clinical records were reviewed. She was admitted on [DATE]. Diagnosis included but were not limited to, Type II diabetes mellitus without complications, and hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side. The current annual MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment, dated 6/27/23, indicated Resident 27 was cognitively intact, needed extensive assistance of two for bed mobility, transfers, toilet use, and total dependence of one for bathing. She had no behaviors or mood issues. She received insulin for 7 of 7 days during the look back period. Physician orders included, but not limited to the following: Insulin lispro solution 100 UNIT/ML Inject 5 unit subcutaneously four times a day related to Type II diabetes mellitus without complications (E11.9), dated 4/21/21 HumaLOG Solution 100 UNIT/ML (Insulin lispro) Inject as per sliding scale: if 71 - 150 = 0; 151 - 200 = 2 units; 201 - 250 = 4 units; 251 - 300 = 6 units; 301 - 350 = 8 units; 351 - 400 = 10 units, subcutaneously three times a day related to Type II diabetes mellitus without complications (E11.9), dated 4/28/2021 Review of the MAR (Medication Administration Record) during the look back period from 6/21/23 to 6/27/23, indicated on 6/23/23 at 8:00 A.M. Resident 27's blood sugar was 188. The MAR was marked 28-no insulin required. The physician order for sliding scale insulin indicated a blood sugar of 151-200=2 units of Humalog (insulin lispro). The blood sugar on 6/22/23 at 5:00 P.M. was 141. The MAR was marked 28-no insulin required. The blood sugar on 6/23/23 at 12:00 P.M. was 229. 4 units of Humalog was given. No documentation of refusal by the resident during the look back dates from 6/21/23 through 6/27/23. During an interview on 9/8/23 at 2:33 P.M., the Administrator indicated Resident 27 refuses accuchecks and medications at times. Review of the Nurse's Notes on 6/23/23 lacked documentation of the resident refusing her medication at 8:00 A.M. During an interview on 9/11/23 at 9:51 A.M., LPN 3 indicated she told residents their BS (blood sugar) when she did an accucheck. If a resident refused insulin it had to be documented in the record, marked on the MAR and the provider notified. If the resident didn't require sliding scale insulin, she only monitored them for symptoms of hypoglycemia. LPN 3 indicated no other assessment was done at that time. She indicated she talked to the residents about hypo and hyperglycemia signs and symptoms and told them to notify the staff if they felt like their sugar was too low so an accucheck could be done and snacks were always available if a sugar got too low. During an interview on 9/11/23 at 9:40 A.M., Resident 27 indicated she does not know the signs and symptoms of hypo or hyperglycemia (low or high blood sugar). No one had ever told me what they were. She indicated they did tell her and show her what her blood sugar was when they do an accucheck. During an interview on 9/11/23 at 9:59 A.M., LPN 5 indicated, while looking at the June 23rd MAR, with a blood sugar of 188 and the sliding scale orders listed, the resident should have been given 2 units of insulin. On 9/8/23 at 9:42 A.M., an undated Medication Administration policy provided by the Administrator, indicated The nurse and /or QMA (Qualified Medication Aide) shall administer all medications in accordance with the physician's orders . 3.1-37(a)

She indicated at that point, the resident really started to decline, and a new antianxiety medication was started by psych, but she had continued to decline after that as well. During an interview on 7/15/21 at 11:27 A.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated on 5/20/21, the MD had ordered several labs, and a UA with C&S if indicated as one of them. She indicated Resident 12 did not have any symptoms at that time. When the UA and C&S were resulted, the MD would have been called or she would have talked with him about the results during rounds, but that notification was not documented. The DON indicated the MD would not treat a resident with an antibiotic based on a culture alone, unless the resident had symptoms as well. She also indicated the MD stated he had treated Resident 12 with [MEDICATION(S)] in the past with no issues, and was fine with prescribing it again, which was why it was ordered on 6/25/21, and that [MEDICATION(S)] was given prophylactically. At that time, the DON indicated she was unaware of Resident 12 complaining of current burning during incontinence care. During an interview on 7/15/21 at 2:03 P.M., the Administrator indicated [MEDICATION(S)] was given to Resident 12 on 6/26/21 because that was when it was identified that the resident had been given a medication, she was allergic to.

4 findings
F226L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement policies to prohibit abuse in that staff accused of abuse were not suspended during the abuse investigation, staff failed to report allegations of abuse, and Administration failed to immediately begin an investigation into an abuse allegation resulting in the ongoing physical and verbal abuse of 1 of 3 residents reviewed for abuse (Resident A) in the sample of 3. This deficient practice had the potential to affect 53 of 53 residents residing in the facility who were at risk being abused by the three accused staff members (CNAs # 1, # 3, # 4). This deficient practice resulted in Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 1/31/13 and began on 9/17/12. The Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy at 11:35 A.M. on 1/31/13. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 2/4/13, but the facility remained out of compliance at the lower scope and severity level of widespread, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, because not all staff had been inserviced on the new policy of abuse reporting. Findings include: 1. On 1/30/13 at 10:55 A.M., the clinical record of Resident A was reviewed. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 12/16/12, indicated the resident was unable to complete an interview regarding mental status, had a short-term and long-term memory problem, and was moderately impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision-making. The MDS assessment indicated the resident was totally dependent on two + staff for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, and personal hygiene. On 1/30/13 at 11:30 A.M., during interview with investigators from the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General (AG), AG # 1 and AG # 2, AG # 2 indicated they had placed a surveillance camera in Resident A's room, with the permission of Resident A's family, since September 2012. AG # 2 indicated they entered the facility on 1/25/13 and informed the Administrator they had video evidence CNA # 1 was abusing Resident A. AG # 2 indicated the video was dated 1/19/13 from 11:55 A.M. to approximately 12:05 P.M. and provided the video at that time. The video included CNA # 1 rolling Resident A from side to side roughly, throwing a chux at his face, raising her arm at him in a threatening manner, and slapping at him. The video also included CNA # 1 appearing to place a chux or sheet on the resident's face and pushing down on the chux with her hands briefly. On 1/30/13 at 12:55 P.M., during interview with CNA # 2, she indicated she had witnessed abuse in the facility by CNA # 3 and CNA # 4. CNA # 2 indicated that in September 2012, she had witnessed CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 be abusive to Resident A, by rolling him over "as hard as they could," and holding his arms up over his head as he yelled. CNA # 2 indicated she had reported the abuse in the past and reported it to the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) but "nothing had been done." CNA # 2 indicated she "had even texted a board member, and he told me to follow the chain of command." CNA # 2 indicated she was no longer scheduled on the 2nd floor, where she had witnessed the abuse, after she complained in September. CNA # 2 indicated CNA # 4 was fired in December, but CNA # 3 still worked at the facility. On 1/30/13 at 2:45 P.M., during interview with CNA # 5, she indicated she had witnessed abuse in the facility. CNA # 5 indicated the abuse "was not that long ago; maybe November or December." CNA # 5 indicated she witnessed CNA # 3 clapping in Resident A's face, taunting him. CNA # 5 indicated CNA # 3 laid Resident A down in bed, and was "hateful," telling him "roll your big butt over." CNA # 5 indicated she informed CNA # 6 about the abuse, and CNA # 6 informed her, "It doesn't matter if you tell (the DON); she won't do anything about it." CNA # 5 indicated she did not report the abuse to a nurse. CNA # 5 indicated she had previously put notes under the Administrator's door regarding concerns, and "nothing happened." CNA # 5 indicated staff was intimidated by CNA # 3 and CNA # 4, and would not report anything because "they are good friends with (the DON)." On 1/30/13 at 3:50 P.M., during interview with the ADON, she indicated in September 2012 she had been told by CNA # 2 that Resident A "had been abused awhile." The ADON indicated CNA # 2 mentioned CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 as the abusers. The ADON indicated she called the DON, who was out of the building, to report the allegation, and started her investigation. The ADON indicated she thought CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 were off that weekend, so they were not suspended. On 1/30/13 at 5:00 P.M., during interview with the Administrator, he indicated he was informed of the abuse by CNA # 1 against Resident A on 1/25/13 by AG # 1 and AG # 2. He indicated he had the DON immediately terminate CNA # 1. He indicated he did not begin an investigation, or re-inservice staff of the abuse policy. He indicated he was told he could not discuss the abuse investigation by the AG staff. The Administrator indicated after a September 2012 complaint survey, regarding a different allegation of abuse, the abuse policy was changed to notifying the charge nurse and the DON. The Administrator indicated he would probably change that policy to "notifying the Administrator immediately." On 1/31/13 at 9:40 A.M., during interview with the DON, she indicated she did receive an allegation of abuse on September 14, 2012. She indicated she was out of town, and the ADON called her, and told her CNA # 2 had said CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 had abused Resident A months and months previously. The DON indicated she spoke to the Administrator by phone, and asked if CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 should be suspended during the investigation. The DON indicated the Administrator informed her there would be no reason to "lay off" the employees, since the time frame was unclear. The DON indicated CNA #3 continued to work, including 9/15, 9/16, 9/17, and 9/18, and CNA # 4 continued to work, including 9/14, 9/15, and 9/16. The DON indicated they did an investigation, and could not substantiate the abuse. The DON indicated, "In hindsight, I should have suspended them." The DON indicated CNA # 4 was terminated in December 2012 for "failure to observe resident rights." The DON indicated CNA # 3 still worked at the facility. At that time, the DON provided an investigation into the allegation of abuse, undated. The report included: "... Alleged abuse of verbal and physical abuse of Resident (A) was reported at 3 pm on Friday 9/14/12. Statement received by CNA (# 2) was unable to mention the nurse she reported alleged abuse to nor dates and times, statement also didn't give names, all other staff deny per their written statements...." The investigation did not document the names of CNA # 3 or CNA # 4 as the alleged abusers. The investigation was signed by the DON, Administrator, and Social Services Director. The investigation documents included a hand-written statement by CNA # 9. The statement, undated, included: "I (CNA # 9) noticed that some of the 2nd shifts that I work that some are rude to (Resident A). Roll him hard...She rolled him in anger, so I put my hand on the metal rail so his head would not bounce off of it. They make fun of him...I do not think its right to be rough with him...some CNAs lay on his bed to hold him down...he is treated like he is 2, he gets very rough treatment and a lot of times verbal abuse too...there is no reason to sit on him or cuse (sic) at him or be rough with him cause your (sic) mad or he is not happy...." On 1/31/13 at 2:15 P.M., during interview with CNA # 9, she indicated she worked at the facility for approximately one month around September 2012. She indicated, "They terminated me because I wouldn't work with those abusers." CNA # 9 mentioned CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 by name, and indicated, CNA # 3 "was the main one." She indicated CNA # 3 would "roll him so hard his face would hit the metal bar." She indicated CNA # 1 "was unstable," and preferred to work by herself. She indicated she witnessed CNA # 1 "throwing a resident in like a sack of potatoes," but she could not remember the resident's name. She indicated she did inform the DON, but that "I got written up instead of them." CNA # 9 indicated she did talk to the Administrator after she was terminated about the abuse, but he just told her the DON "was just doing her job." On 2/1/13 at 10:10 A.M., during interview with the Administrator, he indicated he would usually review investigations into abuse allegations. He indicated he never told the DON not to suspend CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 on September 14, 2012; that they should have been suspended during the investigation. The Administrator indicated he didn't recall speaking to any CNA regarding allegations of abuse, and he never received letters under his door regarding abuse. 2. On 1/30/13 at 10:15 A.M., the Social Services Director provided the current policy and procedure on Abuse Reporting, dated 9/17/12. The policy included: "...If you have suspect (sic) or witnessed abuse, neglect or misuse of resident's property, follow the steps outlined below:...2. After the resident is safe notify the person in charge of the facility at the time of the occurrence and Director of Nursing. The person in charge or the Director of Nursing must immediately notify the Administrator and the Social Service Director...Measures to prevent further (potential) abuse will be immediately initiated and remain in effect to protect the residents. 7. If the alleged abuser is an employee, the staff member in charge of the facility at the time the incident occurred will immediately suspend the employee. The employee will be suspended until the investigation is completed...8. The charge nurse responsible for the resident alleged to have been abused will document in the resident's chart the events that occurred and will notify the resident's physician and family...." An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 1/31/13. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 9/17/12 when staff accused of abuse were allowed to work during an abuse investigation. The Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing were notified at 11:35 A.M. on 1/31/13 of the Immediate Jeopardy related to failure to protect residents from abuse. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 2/4/13 when through observations, interviews and record reviews, it was determined the facility had implemented the plan of action to remove the Immediate Jeopardy and that the steps taken removed the immediacy of the problem. The facility suspended, then terminated CNA # 3, developed a new policy of abuse prohibition that specified notifying the Administrator immediately of allegations of abuse, and inserviced staff of the new policy. Nursing staff, CNAs and activity staff were interviewed on 2/04/13 and demonstrated knowledge of the new abuse prohibition policy, including immediately notifying the Administrator of allegations of abuse. Even though the facility's corrective actions removed the Immediate Jeopardy, the facility remained out of compliance at a reduced scope and severity level of widespread, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy.

She indicated, "They terminated me because I wouldn't work with those abusers." CNA # 9 mentioned CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 by name, and indicated, CNA # 3 "was the main one." She indicated CNA # 3 would "roll him so hard his face would hit the metal bar." She indicated CNA # 1 "was unstable," and preferred to work by herself. She indicated she witnessed CNA # 1 "throwing a resident in like a sack of potatoes," but she could not remember the resident's name. She indicated she did inform the DON, but that "I got written up instead of them." CNA # 9 indicated she did talk to the Administrator after she was terminated about the abuse, but he just told her the DON "was just doing her job." On 2/1/13 at 10:10 A.M., during interview with the Administrator, he indicated he would usually review investigations into abuse allegations. He indicated he never told the DON not to suspend CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 on September 14, 2012; that they should have been suspended during the investigation. The Administrator indicated he didn't recall speaking to any CNA regarding allegations of abuse, and he never received letters under his door regarding abuse. 2. On 1/30/13 at 10:15 A.M., the Social Services Director provided the current policy and procedure on Abuse Reporting, dated 9/17/12. The policy included: "...If you have suspect (sic) or witnessed abuse, neglect or misuse of resident's property, follow the steps outlined below:...2.

The employee will be suspended until the investigation is completed...8. The charge nurse responsible for the resident alleged to have been abused will document in the resident's chart the events that occurred and will notify the resident's physician and family...." An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 1/31/13. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 9/17/12 when staff accused of abuse were allowed to work during an abuse investigation. The Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing were notified at 11:35 A.M. on 1/31/13 of the Immediate Jeopardy related to failure to protect residents from abuse. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 2/4/13 when through observations, interviews and record reviews, it was determined the facility had implemented the plan of action to remove the Immediate Jeopardy and that the steps taken removed the immediacy of the problem. The facility suspended, then terminated CNA # 3, developed a new policy of abuse prohibition that specified notifying the Administrator immediately of allegations of abuse, and inserviced staff of the new policy. Nursing staff, CNAs and activity staff were interviewed on 2/04/13 and demonstrated knowledge of the new abuse prohibition policy, including immediately notifying the Administrator of allegations of abuse. Even though the facility's corrective actions removed the Immediate Jeopardy, the facility remained out of compliance at a reduced scope and severity level of widespread, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy.

F225L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the Administrator was immediately notified of alleged abuse, all alleged violations were thoroughly investigated, and that staff accused of abuse were suspended during the abuse investigation, resulting in the ongoing physical and verbal abuse of 1 of 3 residents reviewed for abuse (Resident A) in the sample of 3. This deficient practice had the potential to affect 53 of 53 residents residing in the facility who were at risk being abused by the three accused staff members (CNAs # 1, # 3, # 4). This deficient practice resulted in Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 1/31/13 and began on 9/17/12. The Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy at 11:35 A.M. on 1/31/13. The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 2/4/13, but the facility remained out of compliance at the lower scope and severity level of widespread, no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, because not all staff had been inserviced on the new policy of abuse reporting. Findings include: 1. On 1/30/13 at 10:55 A.M., the clinical record of Resident A was reviewed. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 12/16/12, indicated the resident was unable to complete an interview regarding mental status, had a short-term and long-term memory problem, and was moderately impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision-making. The MDS assessment indicated the resident was totally dependent on two + staff for bed mobility, transfer, dressing, and personal hygiene. On 1/30/13 at 11:30 A.M., during interview with investigators from the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the Office of the Indiana Attorney General (AG), AG # 1 and AG # 2, AG # 2 indicated they had placed a surveillance camera in Resident A's room, with the permission of Resident A's family, since September 2012. AG # 2 indicated they entered the facility on 1/25/13 and informed the Administrator they had video evidence CNA # 1 was abusing Resident A. AG # 2 indicated the video was dated 1/19/13 from 11:55 A.M. to approximately 12:05 P.M. and provided the video at that time. The video included CNA # 1 rolling Resident A from side to side roughly, throwing a chux at his face, raising her arm at him in a threatening manner, and slapping at him. The video also included CNA # 1 appearing to place a chux or sheet on the resident's face and pushing down on the chux with her hands briefly. On 1/30/13 at 12:55 P.M., during interview with CNA # 2, she indicated she had witnessed abuse in the facility by CNA # 3 and CNA # 4. CNA # 2 indicated that in September 2012, she had witnessed CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 be abusive to Resident A, by rolling him over "as hard as they could," and holding his arms up over his head as he yelled. CNA # 2 indicated she had reported the abuse in the past and reported it to the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) but "nothing had been done." CNA # 2 indicated she "had even texted a board member, and he told me to follow the chain of command." CNA # 2 indicated she was no longer scheduled on the 2nd floor, where she had witnessed the abuse, after she complained in September. CNA # 2 indicated CNA # 4 was fired in December, but CNA # 3 still worked at the facility. On 1/30/13 at 2:45 P.M., during interview with CNA # 5, she indicated she had witnessed abuse in the facility. CNA # 5 indicated the abuse "was not that long ago; maybe November or December." CNA # 5 indicated she witnessed CNA # 3 clapping in Resident A's face, taunting him. CNA # 5 indicated CNA # 3 laid Resident A down in bed, and was "hateful," telling him "roll your big butt over." CNA # 5 indicated she informed CNA # 6 about the abuse, and CNA # 6 informed her, "It doesn't matter if you tell (the DON); she won't do anything about it." CNA # 5 indicated she did not report the abuse to a nurse. CNA # 5 indicated she had previously put notes under the Administrator's door regarding concerns, and "nothing happened." CNA # 5 indicated staff was intimidated by CNA # 3 and CNA # 4, and would not report anything because "they are good friends with (the DON)." On 1/30/13 at 3:50 P.M., during interview with the ADON, she indicated in September 2012 she had been told by CNA # 2 that Resident A "had been abused awhile." The ADON indicated CNA # 2 mentioned CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 as the abusers. The ADON indicated she called the DON, who was out of the building, to report the allegation, and started her investigation. The ADON indicated she thought CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 were off that weekend, so they were not suspended. On 1/30/13 at 5:00 P.M., during interview with the Administrator, he indicated he was informed of the abuse by CNA # 1 against Resident A on 1/25/13 by AG # 1 and AG # 2. He indicated he had the DON immediately terminate CNA # 1. He indicated he did not begin an investigation, or re-inservice staff of the abuse policy. He indicated he was told he could not discuss the abuse investigation by the AG staff. The Administrator indicated after a September 2012 complaint survey, regarding a different allegation of abuse, the abuse policy was changed to notifying the charge nurse and the DON. The Administrator indicated he would probably change that policy to "notifying the Administrator immediately." On 1/31/13 at 9:40 A.M., during interview with the DON, she indicated she did receive an allegation of abuse on September 14, 2012. She indicated she was out of town, and the ADON called her, and told her CNA # 2 had said CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 had abused Resident A months and months previously. The DON indicated she spoke to the Administrator by phone, and asked if CNA # 3 and CNA # 4 should be suspended during the investigation. The DON indicated the Administrator informed her there would be no reason to "lay off" the employees, since the time frame was unclear. The DON indicated CNA #3 continued to work, including 9/15, 9/16, 9/17, and 9/18, and CNA # 4 continued to work, including 9/14, 9/15, and 9/16. The DON indicated they did an investigation, and could not substantiate the abuse. The DON indicated, "In hindsight, I should have suspended them." The DON indicated CNA # 4 was terminated in December 2012 for "failure to observe resident rights." The DON indicated CNA # 3 still worked at the facility. At that time, the DON provided an investigation into the allegation of abuse, undated. The report included: "... Alleged abuse of verbal and physical abuse of Resident (A) was reported at 3 pm on Friday 9/14/12. Statement received by CNA (# 2) was unable to mention the nurse she reported alleged abuse to nor dates and times, statement also didn't give names, all other staff deny per their written statements...."
