F684G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to complete neurological assessments after two residents fell and hit their head resulting in Resident B sustaining a subdural hematoma (collection of blood that forms between the dura mater (the outer layer of the brain's protective membranes) and the brain itself) and requiring hospitalization for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for accidents (Residents B and D). Findings include:1. Review of the clinical record of Resident B on 11/6/25 at 11:02 a.m., indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to sick sinus syndrome, syncope and collapse, hypertensive heart disease, diabetes, anemia, anxiety, coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and hypertension. The clinical record for Resident B indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the local hospital. The local hospital note for Resident B indicated the resident was in the hospital from [DATE] to 10/22/25. The resident was riding his 3 wheeled electric bike and had a syncopal (fainting) episode. The resident had on a helmet. Neurological assessments were completed with no abnormal findings. The CT (Computed Tomography) scan of Resident B's head, completed on 10/17/25 indicated no acute intracranial findings, generalized atrophy and mild left maxillary sinus disease, no fractures, the ventricles were normal, no midline shift. The CT of the Resident B's spine indicated no acute fractures or dislocations. The CT of Resident B's chest indicated no pneumothorax or fractures. The resident had a pacemaker successful placed on 10/20/25. The baseline functional status assessment for Resident B, dated 10/22/25 at 12:51 p.m., indicated the resident was cognitively intact for daily decision making. The resident required substantial/maximal assistance for showering. The (late entry) progress note for Resident B, dated 10/22/25 at 8:58 p.m., indicated the resident had a fall in the shower room around 8:20 p.m. CNA 1 reported the resident slipped and fell. Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) was called to assist the resident off the floor because the resident had a pacemaker put in on 10/21/25. LPN 2 left the shower room and called 911. The resident was talkative, no apparent injuries. The EMT got behind the resident and put his arms around the residents waist and lifted him up into the shower chair. The resident moved eyes, followed all commands. The resident's blood pressure was 118/68, pulse was 87 and oxygen saturation was between 93 % and 94%. LPN 2 went back into the shower room after completing some task and took the resident's vital signs, his blood pressure was 118/64, pulse 84 and oxygen saturation was 93%. LPN 2 looked at the back of his head and neck as she was passing the resident and no injuries were noted. LPN 2 gently took her left hand and felt up his neck and behind his head. The (late entry) progress note for Resident B, dated 10/22/25 at 8:58 p.m., indicated LPN took another resident's blood sugar at 9:00 p.m. and done a treatment. LPN 2 checked on residents around 9:15 p.m., to 9:20 p.m., LPN 2 went into Resident B's room and asked how he was doing and he did not respond. The resident was breathing rapidly. LPN 2 yelled for the CNA to call 911, but the CNA said she could not because she did not know what to say. LPN 2 walked rapidly to the front of the building and called 911. LPN 2 went back to Resident B's room and did a sternal rub with no response. The resident's oxygen saturation was 94%, was not able to get a blood pressure cuff on the resident because his arm was jerking. EMT's arrived. LPN 2 gave Resident B Tylenol at 4:30 p.m., for a bad head ache but accidently documented it was for back pain. The EMS (Emergency Medical Service) report for Resident B, dated 10/22/25 at 9:57 p.m., indicated the unit was dispatched to the facility for an immediate urgency, Resident B was found unconscious . This indicated there was 1 hour and 37 minutes from the time Resident B fell and from the time he was found unresponsive. The local hospital note for Resident B, dated 10/22/25 at 10:37 p.m., indicated the resident had a subdural hematoma. The resident's CT scan findings were there was a large right holohemispheric (affecting the entire hemisphere of the brain) acute subdural hematoma. There was a 26 millimeter (mm) right to left midline shift. The impression was a large holohemispheric acute subdural hematoma measuring 26 mm in thickness with 26 mm right to left midline shift and uncal herniation. The resident was placed on a ventilator (life support machine that helps the patient breathe). Resident B was transported via helicopter to a major medical hospital. During an interview with CNA 1, on 11/5/25 at 11:20 a.m., indicated she was assisting Resident B with a shower on 10/22/25 and he slipped and fell backwards and hit his head on the wall and on the floor. CNA 2 indicated she did report to LPN 2 that he had hit his head on the wall and the floor. The resident went unresponsive later that evening in his bed. During an interview, on 11/5/25 at 12:20 p.m., the Director of Nursing indicated neurological assessments were not completed after Resident B fell because LPN 2 did not feel that he hit his head. The DON indicated neurological assessments should have been conducted if the facility policy says they should have been. During an interview with LPN 2, on 11/5/25 at 12:55 p.m., she indicated she did not complete neurological assessments on Resident B after he fell and hit his head twice because the resident said he was fine and she waved her hand at him and he looked at her hand and she looked at the back of his head and did not see any swelling. LPN 2 indicated she was unsure how long it was from the time he fell to the time he was found unresponsive, but thought it was approximately 20 minutes. 2. The clinical record for Resident D was reviewed on 11/5/25 at 1:00 P.M. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, unsteadiness on feet, muscle weakness, cognitive communication deficit, and dementia. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 8/29/25, indicated Resident D was moderately to highly cognitively impaired and used a wheelchair for ambulation. A nurses note, dated 10/27/25 at 8:58 A.M., indicated Resident D had an un-witnessed fall by the nurse's station. Resident D was found laying on the floor with left arm in wheelchair. Resident D stated they had hit their head. Orders received from on call provider to send Resident D to the ER (Emergency Room) for head CT (Computed Tomography) and evaluation. A Fall Risk Evaluation note, dated 10/27/25 at 8:20 P.M., indicated Resident D had a fall, and was at high risk for falls. Immediate intervention was to send to the ER for evaluation. The nurses notes indicated resident D left the facility at 8:55 pm and returned from the hospital on [DATE] at 1:12am with no new orders. A Change in Condition Evaluation, dated 10/27/25 at 9:33 P.M., indicated a neurological assessment was relevant to the change in condition being reported and no changes were observed. No neurological assessments were completed or documented in Resident D's EHR (Electronic Health Record). A plan of care for Resident D, dated 9/30/25, indicated Resident D was at risk for falls due to impaired cognition/safety awareness and unsteadiness on feet. The interventions included, but were not limited to, prevent injuries due to falling. During an interview, on 11/6/25 at 1:53 P.M., the Director of Nursing indicated neurological checks were not completed after Resident D's fall and hitting her head because the assessment of Resident D included no findings and they only do neurological checks as ordered by the provider and no neurological checks were ordered post fall. A Neurological Assessment policy was provided by the DON on 11/5/25 at 12:50 P.M. It indicated,.General Guidelines: 1. Routine neurological assessment is conducted to evaluate the resident for small changes over time that may be indicative of neurological injury.2. Routine neurological exams include assessing: a. mental status and level of consciousness; b. pupillary response; c. motor strength; d. sensation; and e. gait. Nursing standards for neurological checks after a head injury involve a comprehensive assessment of the patient's consciousness, pupillary response, motor function, and vital signs, with a frequency that depends on the injury's severity. Initially, checks are performed very frequently (e.g., every 15 to 30 minutes for a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) less than 15 or for the first few hours), with the frequency gradually decreasing as the patient stabilizes and their condition improves. Key components include monitoring the Glasgow Coma Scale, pupillary size and reaction, motor strength, and vital signs while also checking for signs of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage or other injury. Core components of neurological checks: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): A standardized score from 3 to 15 to assess the level of consciousness based on eye-opening, verbal response, and motor response. Pupillary response: Assess the size, equality, and reaction to light of the pupils. Motor function: Evaluate for motor strength, symmetry, and any specific deficits like pronator drift. Vital signs: Monitor blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, as changes can indicate a worsening condition. Neurological symptoms: Ask about and monitor for symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, vision changes, or numbness. Signs of CSF leakage: Inspect the nose and ears for clear, watery fluid, which can indicate a basilar skull fracture. Frequency of checks The frequency of neurological checks is guided by the initial severity of the injury and any changes in the patient's condition. Severe injury (GCS < 15): Perform neurological observations every 30 minutes until the GCS reaches 15. Mild injury (GCS 15 or higher): Perform observations every 30 minutes for the first two hours. Perform hourly observations for the next four hours. Perform every two hours thereafter. If deterioration occurs: Immediately revert to checks every 30 minutes and restart the protocol. Nursing responsibilities Frequent reassessment: Continue to monitor the patient's condition closely and adjust the frequency of checks based on clinical judgment and the patient's stability. Communication: Report any deterioration or new findings immediately to the physician or nurse practitioner. Documentation: Document all findings accurately and thoroughly in the patient's chart. Care plan management: Update the care plan to reflect the patient's changing status and any interventions being performed. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK593206/ (chapter 6) and www.aacnnursing.org This citation relates to intake 2654128 3.1-37

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a safe environment in the shower room (wet/slick floor) with two residents suffering a fall in the shower room (Resident B and C). This deficiency resulted in Resident B acquiring a large right acute subdural hematoma with left midline shift and uncal herniation. Findings include: 1. Review of the clinical record of Resident B on [DATE] at 11:02 a.m., indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to sick sinus syndrome, syncope and collapse, hypertensive heart disease, diabetes, anemia, anxiety, coronary artery disease, cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and hypertension. The clinical record for Resident B indicated the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the local hospital. The baseline functional status assessment for Resident B, dated [DATE] at 12:51 p.m., indicated the resident was cognitively intact for daily decision making. The resident required substantial/maximal assistance for showering. The plan of care for Resident B, dated [DATE], indicated the resident was at risk for fall related injury due to recent pacemaker placement and non weight bearing left arm. The (late entry) progress note for Resident B, dated [DATE] at 8:58 p.m., indicated the resident had a fall in the shower room around 8:20 p.m. CNA 1 reported the resident slipped and fell. Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) was called to assist the resident off the floor because the resident had a pacemaker put in on [DATE]. LPN 2 left the shower room and called 911.

LPN 2 gave Resident B Tylenol at 4:30 p.m., for a bad head ache but accidently documented it was for back pain. The local hospital note for Resident B, dated [DATE] at 10:37 p.m., indicated the resident had a subdural hematoma. The resident's CT scan findings included, but were not limited to, a large right holohemispheric (affecting the entire hemisphere of the brain) acute subdural hematoma. There was a 26 millimeter (mm) right to left midline shift. The impression was a large holohemispheric acute subdural hematoma measuring 26 mm in thickness with 26 mm right to left midline shift and uncal herniation (a life-threatening neurological emergency where the innermost part of the temporal lobe, is squeezed through the tentorial notch due to increased intracranial pressure). The resident was placed on a ventilator (life support machine that helps the patient breathe). Resident B was transported via helicopter to a major medical hospital. The progress note for Resident B, dated [DATE] at 12:58 p.m., indicated the writer placed a call to Major medical hospital and spoke with on the medical surgical intensive care unit nurse. The nurse reported that the resident was currently intubated, sedated, and medically stable at this time. The resident had sustained a severe neurological insult deemed non-operable. The hospital social worker was in the process of identifying the resident's next of kin and was planning to facilitate a goals-of-care discussion with them. The progress note for Resident B, dated [DATE] at 12:00 p.m., indicated the resident was pronounced deceased on [DATE] at the Major medical hospital. During an observation and interview with CNA 1 on [DATE] at 11:20 a.m., she indicated she was assisting Resident B with a shower on [DATE] and he slipped and fell backwards and hit his head on the wall and on the floor. CNA 1 indicated the resident's whole body smacked the floor. CNA 1 indicated she did report to LPN 2 that he had hit his head on the wall and the floor. The resident went unresponsive later that evening in his bed. Observation of the shower room, the floor was a smooth flat surface with no ridges. There was non skid strips on the shower floor, CNA 1 indicated the non skid strips were not in place of [DATE] when Resident B fell. CNA 2 indicated there was not a bath mat in place or a towel on the shower floor when Resident B fell. CNA 2 indicated the shower floor was slippery when it wet and she herself had slipped on it before when giving showers. During an interview with the Maintenance Director on [DATE] at 10:58 a.m., he indicated the shower floors were a fiber glass acrylic material. 2. The clinical record for Resident C was reviewed on [DATE] at 11:47 A.M. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, respiratory failure, chronic pain syndrome, and major depressive disorder. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated [DATE], indicated Resident C was cognitively intact, required substantial/maximal assist with ability to bathe self, and had limited range of motion to bilateral lower extremities. A nurses note, dated [DATE] at 8:00 P.M., indicated Resident C had a fall in the shower room while transferring. Shower room floor was wet and resident slipped and was lowered to floor by CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). During an interview with Resident C on [DATE] at 1:52 P.M., the resident indicated he did fall in the shower room on [DATE]. The resident was sitting on the shower commode in front of the sink when the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) who Resident C indicated he did not know the name of, but she was an agency CNA who does not normally work in the facility, had him stand up to wipe his back off. Resident C indicated as soon as he stood up, his feet slid right out from underneath him and he fell and hit his bottom on the floor. The shower room floor was wet and very slippery. The CNAs will usually place a towel down on the shower floor because of how slippery it gets when wet. The resident usually would wear his non-skid socks in the shower because of how slippery the floors always were and did not want to fall, but he just forgot to wear them that day. The CNA was also unaware how the other CNAs would usually place a towel on the floor in anticipation of the floor becoming so slippery. Resident C indicated there were no non-skid grippers on the shower room floor. A Fall Risk Evaluation note, dated [DATE] at 8:41 P.M., indicated Resident C was a low fall risk. Immediate interventions included, but were not limited to, make sure shower room floor is dry before transferring. An Assessing Falls and Their Causes policy was provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) on [DATE] at 12:50 P.M. It indicated,.Steps in the Procedure- After the Fall:.10. If a resident has just fallen, or is found on the floor without a witness to the event, evaluate for possible injuries to the head, neck, spine, and extremities.15. Observe for delayed complications of a fall for approximately forty-eight (48) hours after an observed or suspected fall, and will document findings in the medical record. A Fall Risk Assessment policy was provided by the DON on [DATE] at 10:55 A.M. It indicated,.8. The staff will seek to identify environmental factors that may contribute to falling, such as lighting and room layout.9. The staff and attending physician will collaborate to identify and address modifiable fall risk factors and interventions to try to minimize the consequences of risk factors that are not modifiable.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain holding temperatures for pureed food for 4 of 4 residents receiving pureed foods. (Resident 10, 17, 23, and 29) Findings include: A tour of the kitchen was conducted, on 9/19/25 at 11:30 a.m., with [NAME] 2. During an observation of the pureed food temperatures being obtained, it was noted that pureed taco meat was recorded with a holding temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and pureed green beans had a holding temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. During an observation of the steam table with [NAME] 2, four containers of pureed taco meat and four containers of pureed green beans were stacked to the right side of the steam table. During an interview with [NAME] 2, they indicated food temperatures were obtained one time after being cookedand before they were placed on the steam table. Food temperatures were obtained, on 9/19/25 at 11:00 a.m., before the food was placed on the steam table. [NAME] 2 indicated the taco meat was 171 degrees Fahrenheit, and the green beans were 160 degrees Fahrenheit. [NAME] 2 indicated they held pureed foods on the side of the steam table in prepared containers. [NAME] 2 also indicated other staff place prepared containers of pureed food into the microwave and will heat them up one to two minutes before the food was served. During an interview with the Administrator on 9/23/25 at 10:19 a.m., they indicated pureed food should be put into a metal container and held on the steam table. The Administrator indicated pureed food should be served directly out of the pan on the steam table and not in bowls to sit for holding. They indicated the holding temperatures should have been 135 degrees Fahrenheit and above. A Food Temperatures policy was provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/19/25 at 1:15 p.m. It indicated .1. Hot foods that are potentially hazardous will be held for service at or above 135 degrees Fahrenheit .2. All hot and cold food items will be served to the resident at a temperature that is considered palatable at the time the resident receives the food .8. Temperatures should be monitored throughout meal service to ensure adequate holding temperatures are maintained . 3.1-21(a)(2)

F689D · No harm, potential for more than minimal, isolated

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure falls were investigated and documented thoroughly for 3 of 3 residents reviewed for falls. (Residents E, G and H) Findings include: 1. The clinical record of Resident E was reviewed on 1-23-25 at 2:52 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, anxiety, chronic pain, spinal stenosis, and general muscle weakness. Her most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11-18-24, indicated she was severely cognitively impaired, used a wheelchair for mobility, and was dependent for walking, toileting, and bed mobility. It indicated she had falls within the last six months, but no fractures. The Director of Nursing (DON) provided a fall log, indicating Resident E had a fall without injury on 10-12-24 at 3:55 p.m. During an interview with the DON on 1-23-25 at 3:16 p.m., she indicated Resident E had a diagnosis of dementia and did have a history of falls. I will have to look in her old chart and the old records for her information. She is the only person with a fall listed for 10-12-24. A progress note, dated 10-12-24 at 3:55 p.m., indicated Resident was getting up from w/c [wheelchair] & [sign for and] went down onto her knees. Assisted up to w/c after assessment completed. No additional assessments or documentation of the fall and/or follow-up were located in clinical record until 10-15-24. The DON provided a copy of a document entitled Initial 3-Day Post Fall Interdisciplinary Review, dated 10-12-24, as Day One, which indicated Resident E was getting up from w/c & went down on knees. Day two documented as 10-15-24, and Day three as 10-16-24. The DON indicated documentation of Resident E's fall did not get conducted timely related to we were having documentation issues at the time. During an interview with the DON on 1-24-25 at 2:55 p.m., she indicated the date of Resident E's fall would have been under previous ownership and with a different electronic health record (EHR) system, and the previous management/owners were not providing access to the EHR at the present time. They have told us that we will have to gain access through a third party for those records, and the current facility ownership does not know when that might take place. 2. The clinical record of Resident G was reviewed on 1-24-25 at 10:42 a.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to, hyponatremia (low serum sodium level), general muscle weakness, unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition, unsteadiness on feet, and diabetes. Her most recent MDS assessment, dated 11-15-24, indicated she was cognitively intact, used a wheelchair for mobility, and required moderate assistance with transfers, walking, toileting, bathing and hygiene, and was independent with bed mobility. It indicated she had no falls since her last MDS assessment. During an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 7 on 1-22-25 at 11:55 a.m., she indicated Resident G had a recent fall without injuries and was recently diagnosed with hyponatremia with associated cognitive decline. A review of Resident G's unwitnessed fall, dated 1-21-25 at 1:12 p.m., indicated Resident G fell out of wheel chair while self transferring, and was found by staff lying on the floor in front of her wheelchair. It indicated the resident was assessed and appeared to have no injuries, had no pain, and was alert and oriented to person, place, time, and situation. It indicated the physician, the DON, and family were notified of the fall within minutes of the fall. A review of the nursing progress notes indicated no documentation as to why Resident G was later sent out to the hospital on the same date. An associated progress note, dated 1-21-25 at 11:12 p.m., indicated the resident was admitted to an area hospital with a diagnosis of hyponatremia. A progress note, dated 1-23-25 at 11:14 p.m., referred to placement of geri-sleeves (used for skin protection). No progress notes were located as to the resident returning to the facility from the hospital. A care plan entry for falls/fall risk, dated 1-21-25, indicated the resident had been sent to the emergency room for evaluation and change of condition. A re-admission nursing assessment was conducted, on 1-22-25, which indicated Resident G was alert and oriented to person, place, situation, had no current skin issues, was a known fall risk, was at risk for skin breakdown, was incontinent of bowel and bladder, and denied pain. In an interview with Resident G on 1-23-25 at 10:35 a.m., she indicated she had returned late last evening from a stay at an area hospital but was unsure of the reason for her hospitalization . She did recall a fall with no injury from her wheelchair several days prior. 3. The clinical record of Resident H was reviewed on 1-24-25 at 2:10 p.m. Her diagnoses included, but were not limited to, unspecified convulsions, anxiety, depression, unsteadiness on feet, nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, history of a traumatic brain injury, transient ischemic attacks [mini strokes], and cerebral infarction, CVA (cardiovascular attacks or stroke), high blood pressure, cognitive communication deficit, dementia, and a history of falls. Her most recent MDS assessment, dated 12-28-24, indicated she was severely cognitively impaired, required substantial assistance with toileting, bathing and hygiene, and required moderate assistance with bed mobility, transfers, and walking, and used a wheelchair for mobility. It indicated she was usually incontinent of bowel and bladder, received routinely scheduled pain medication and denied pain, and had two falls since her prior MDS assessment. A Fall Investigation document, dated 12-31-24 at 7:40 a.m., indicated Resident H was found on the floor of the lounge area by facility staff. It indicated she had a wheelchair alarm in place. An assessment by the licensed nurse indicated she sustained a hematoma to the right forehead to which an ice pack was applied, active range of motion to her upper and lower extremities was performed, she was alert to her name, and able to answer questions appropriately. Resident H was assisted to stand with the assistance of two people and returned to her wheelchair. Her blood pressure was elevated. Her physician was notified of the fall and made aware of being on aspirin therapy, with no change in cognition, with no verbal or non-verbal signs of pain. Resident H was able to indicate she had fallen out of the wheelchair and struck her head. Neurological checks were initiated and were within normal range. The documented history included multiple falls and unsteady gait. It indicated the family was notified and it indicated she was sent to a local emergency room for further evaluation. No further documentation was in Resident H's clinical record until 1-12-25. During an interview with the DON on 1-24-25 at 2:55 p.m., she indicated Resident H returned to the facility on the same date as when she was sent out, 12-31-24, but she could not locate additional information in regard to this. Yes, there should have been a readmission assessment conducted, but I cannot find it. Once again, that would have been under the previous ownership and with the other [EHR] system, and they are not giving us access to it at the present time.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from verbal abuse by a staff member for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for verbal abuse. (Resident B) Findings include: The facility completed an incident report and sent it to the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) Long Term Care division, on 9-25-24, related to Resident B and Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 4. In a written witness statement, dated 9-25-24, Registered Nurse (RN) 5, indicated on the same date at 5:15 p.m., he and another resident's family member, overheard [name of CNA 4] using inappropriate language and speaking in a raised tone towards the resident. The resident was heard using a racial slur directed at the staff member. In response, [name of CNA 4] stated 'You will not call me that, do you f-----g understand?' and added, 'You cannot attempt to get out of bed on your own; I already had to help your a-- off the floor once today.' This writer intervened by removing [name of CNA 4] from the room and escorting her to the break room to collect her belongings, followed by an escort to the time clock. In a documented staff interview, conducted on 9-26-24, by the Regional HFA (health facility administrator) with CNA 4, it indicated CNA 4 indicated she had been overwhelmed since the beginning of her shift on 9-25-24. Near the beginning of her shift, she found Resident B half in and out of bed and admitted to increasing her tone to get the resident's attention to not try to get up alone. She stated [name of Resident B] started calling her derogatory names and she stated 'I said, you can't talk to me like that, do you f-----g understand?' Employee stated the words just slipped out and she knew it was wrong and apologized to the resident. Employee stated she was stressed and did not ask for help and aware that she should have. Writer explained that Resident did not feel that she was intentional with her words and felt she was having a bad day. [Name of RN 5] stated he did not feel she was intentional but having a bad day. Employee will be paid for time off and job reinstated. Employee did receive written 1st warning. Employee received Stress/Burnout education. During a telephone interview with CNA 4 on 1-23-25 at 12:28 p.m., she indicated on the day in question, the facility was short-handed. The resident had asked to be helped to bed and I told her I would be there as soon as possible. In the meantime, [name of Resident B] asked . another resident, who was in a wheelchair, to put her to bed and [name of other resident] helped her. When I came back to her room, a few minutes later, I found out [name of the other resident] had helped her to bed and I became upset and very worried about both [name of Resident B and name of the other resident]'s safety in doing this. I told her she can't just ask other residents to help her lay down. She got really mad at me and called me the N-word and told me I can't tell her what to do. I did cuss at her and I shouldn't have. [Name of RN 5], the nurse on duty, heard us, and he immediately came and talked to me and [name of Resident B] and ended up sending me home. I was suspended for a day or two while they did their investigation and got a written warning and was allowed to come back to work. I did apologize to [name of Resident B] and we are good friends now. She didn't want me to take care of her for a while, but I can now. I did have [receive] a teachable moment about burnout and received some education on that. I will admit it was all me and I shouldn't have acted that way, but I know better now. During an interview with the Executive Director (ED) on 1-23-25 at 9:30 a.m., she indicated, As the new interim ED, I am just now looking into this situation, the same as you. As you know, this occurred with the previous company and previous management. I couldn't really see where the investigation said whether or not they considered this an abuse or not, but it does look like a fairly clear verbal abuse with statements made about the aide being overwhelmed. It looks like they did provide her with information on burnout and stress. I assume this may trigger further investigation from the State in regards to the aide. From what I have heard from staff and residents, there was a time in the Fall where the staffing was kind of rough .I've been told the staffing situation has improved a great deal. We are currently using some agency for staffing with the hopes to decrease the agency staffing as soon as possible. On 1-23-25 at 11:10 a.m., the ED provided a copy of a form entitled Employee Warning, dated 9-27-24. It indicated the document was a 1st Written warning for CNA 4 for violation of Page 63 of Employee Handbook, #13 using profane/abusive language towards or around residents or their family members, on 9-25-24. Indicated, On 9-25-24, Employee [name of CNA 4] was overheard by [name of RN 5] using inappropriate language and speaking to resident with an increased tone stating, you will not call me that, do you f-----g understand? .Employee re-educated on stress/burnout and appropriate resident interactions. The use of profanity is against facility policy and will not be tolerated. Any further writeups may results in further disciplinary action or termination. The document was signed by CNA 4 and the Regional HFA. During an interview with Resident B on 1-22-25 at 3:28 p.m., she denied any concerns with anyone being rough with care or rough/unkind with speech.

In review of a facility post-fall investigation, dated 5-19-21, it indicated Resident D had a fall at 1:35 p.m., in her room. CNA [3] was transferring pt [patient] from WC [wheelchair] to bed; pt lost balance; CNA [3] set her on floor. Resident D had no apparent injuries. After the resident was assessed by the licensed nurse, she was assisted into bed with 2 staff persons. Resident D's cognitive status was 12, indicating a moderate cognitive impairment. The resident indicated she had lost her balance during the transfer. The investigation did not specify if a gait belt was used by CNA 3. The post fall investigation indicated immediate intervention (actions) included, but were not limited to, CNA education provision with the topic of education not indicated. The investigation indicated contributing factors to the fall included, but were not limited to, incontinence, amputation(s), [CONDITION(S)] (stroke) and use of a narcotic [MEDICATION(S)]. It indicated no chronic or acute conditions or unsteadiness contributed to the fall, nor did confusion, wandering or cognitive decline.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure twice weekly Covid-19 testing was routinely conducted of all employees. This deficient practice has the potential to adversely affect all residents of the facility and potentially expose the residents to staff with unidentified Covid-19. (Staff 2, 3, 4) Findings include: The employee record of Staff #3 was reviewed on 12-30-20 at 1:25 p.m. It indicated she had Covid [MEDICATION NAME] testing conducted on 11-12-20, 11-17-20, 11-19-20, related to routine testing based upon the facility's county positivity rate of greater than 10 percent and on 12-2-20, related to a facility outbreak and on 12-9-20, related to the staff member being symptomatic. The testing results of the above dates prior to 12-9-20, had been negative with the 12-9-20, test yielding a positive result. In review of the testing, this employee was to have been tested twice weekly. On the dates, 11-19-20 to 12-2-20, there were 14 days in which Covid-19 testing did not occur. On the dates, 12-2-20 to 12-9-20, there were 7 days in which Covid-19 testing did not occur.

Her time card indicated she worked on a per diem or as needed basis. In an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 12-30-20 at 1:25 p.m., she indicated the Executive Director (ED) normally is the person who tracks the Covid testing and was unsure how the process of tracking occurred or if a policy for that existed. She clarified Staff #3 worked on a PRN (as needed basis), but speculated she typically worked two to three days weekly. In an interview with the ED on 12-30-20 at 2:10 p.m., she indicated, The nurses are the ones who do the actual covid testing and just give me the information to put on the employee covid testing log. If it looks like it's been a while, then I will get with the employee to see what the problem is. I don't really use an employee roster to track the employees. Maybe I should do that to make sure everyone is getting tested like they should. I really hadn't thought much about putting anything down as to why they might not be tested ; maybe I should. In an interview with the Corporate Regional Director on 12-30-20 at 2:10 p.m., she indicated she had checked with the facility's corporate offices to see if they had a policy on testing the PRN staff. She indicated the corporate office staff had checked with the IDOH's Director of the Long Term Care regarding the use of PRN staff.
