His brothers and he have to arrange and ensure that R55 is transported to and from dialysis 3 times a week. R55's son asked why other facilities have a transport service and not this one. The hospital, before discharge, made sure that we agreed to transport our dad to dialysis before we were accepted to this facility. If we were offered a choice, we would have used their transportation. No one discussed this service, and the facility did not provide it.

R52 revealed that he underwent surgery at the hospital. Although R52 denied pain at the time of the interview, he expressed being unable to get up and walk on his own after surgery. On 5/14/24 at 4:00 PM, the facility's incident report (I/A), dated 3/16/24, was reviewed. It noted on the description: On 3/16/24, at 10:50 AM, Resident in wheelchair in front of the nurse's station when nursing heard someone call for help and observed resident sitting on his bottom in front of his wheelchair. When writer asked resident how did he fall, resident verbalized he was trying to stand up. The Evaluation Section of the Event (incident) Report noted: .Resident discharge to the hospital post fall, readmitted to facility for rehab: Fall resulted in fracture? Yes Resident sent to hospital and returned Yes Resident sent to hospital and did not return No Incident reported to State Agency No Did Fall result in serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to the resident Yes . The Hospital Discharge Records were reviewed on 5/15/24 at 4:00 PM. R52 was at the emergency room (ER) at a nearby hospital on 3/16/24 for evaluation and was admitted on [DATE] for surgical intervention for a displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the left hip. R52 was discharged back to the facility on [DATE] with a discharge diagnosis of Hip Fracture. R52's discharge instructions included pain medications, post-surgical staples, and wound dressing care. A review of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) on 5/14/24 at 11:00 AM revealed that R52 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He was at high risk for fall, and on 3/16/24, R52 sustained a displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur as a result of a fall. Among R52's listed primary diagnoses, R52 had Parkinson's Disease, repeated Falls, and age-related physical debility in addition to other diagnoses. R54's Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) Score, dated 2/28/24, was 13/15. A BIMS score of 13-15 suggests the patient is cognitively intact. A review of R52's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/28/24, revealed that R52 ambulated, walking 10 feet, required substantial maximum assistance with no functional limitation in the upper and lower extremities ROM. R52 required substantial maximum assistance with toileting, personal hygiene, and transfers. R52, on the 2/28/24 assessment, was occasionally incontinent with bladder elimination pattern but was frequently incontinent for bowel elimination pattern. In a review of R52's clinical record, dated 3/26/24, there was a change in R52's BIMS score of 09/15. A score of eight to twelve suggests moderately impaired. A significant change in R52's MDS dated [DATE] assessment revealed that R52 was dependent on staff with mobility, toileting, and most activities of daily living (ADL), especially personal hygiene. Ambulating ten feet did not occur, and a one-step assessment was not attempted. Another significant change noted was R52's status for bowel and bladder elimination patterns, which changed from occasional to frequent for both urinary and bowel elimination patterns. During the interview on 05/15/24 at 12:12 PM, Nurse C, indicated that she was the nurse caring for R52 on 3/16/24 when R52 had a fall. Nurse C further revealed that she had left R52 alone in the day room facing the nurse's station when he fell at 10:50 AM. He fell at least twice before this fall. Nurse C had indicated that R52's care plan was to place him in a common area so everyone can see and watch him when he tries to get up. Nurse C stated: R52 was showing signs of frequent restlessness and was trying to get up on his own. I placed him in the day room across from the nurse's station with the TV on. There were no other staff assigned to watch R52 at that time, and I then proceeded to pass my meds to the residents, hoping there would be other staff that would pass by to see him and keep an eye out. Nurse C confirmed that R52 was left unattended and unsupervised when she left him in the day room. When Nurse C was queried, she revealed that the call light was inaccessible or within reach. R52 did not have access to the call light in the day room. Nurse C clarified that there was no staff in the nurse's station at that time or nearby. Nurse C further described that R52's aide was attending to other guests (residents). There was only one nurse and one nursing aide assigned in the hall. The nurse aide provided patient care when the fall occurred. Nurse C further indicated that another resident yelled that someone was on the floor, and that's how she was alerted. Staff from other units came to help with assessing and transferred R52 to his room. Nurse C revealed that R52 was sent to the hospital after the X-ray. R52 complained of pain, and limited ROM of the left lower extremity was observed. The Physician was notified, and EMS was called to send him to the hospital. Nurse C indicated that R52 was sent to the hospital because the resident complained of pain in his left lower extremity and could barely move it. There was an obvious limited Range of Motion (ROM) due to extreme pain in the left lower extremity. Nurse C further indicated that she recalled that R52, upon post-fall assessment, did not show any problems with moving his right leg. After the X-ray was performed, R52 was sent to the hospital because of severe pain, and the X-ray results revealed a fracture. According to the Director of Nursing (DON), during an interview conducted on 3/16/24 at 11:00 AM, she recalled that the weekend supervisor called to inform her of R52's fall and that he was being sent to the hospital for a fracture. The facility did not report this to the state because R52 could tell what happened. The DON revealed that R52 was placed in the common area for easier eyes and clarified that it means staff can observe him by the nurse's station and more people walk by. When queried, the DON denied staff was present during the fall, and there were no witnesses. The DON stated: I'm not sure who was there to find him. On 5/14/24 at 3:59 PM, Nurse E confirmed that R52 fell sometime in March (2024), but Nurse E stated she could not recall the details because she was not the nurse assigned when it happened. Nurse E had indicated that R52 was at high risk for fall and that R52 had an unwitnessed fall and underwent surgical hip repair due to a fracture sustained after a fall. R52's Family G was interviewed on 4/15/25 at 3:30 PM. She stated that the goal for R52 was to go through rehabilitation (physical therapy and occupational therapy) to strengthen him so he can return home. Because of the fall which resulted to fracture, he was unable to come home sooner than planned. R52 previously was able to walk with assistance using a walker. R52's fall care plan was reviewed on 4/16/24 at 10:00 AM. Although R52's admitted was 2/23/24, the fall care plan was created on 3/12/24 and was last updated on 4/24/24.

Nursing note dated 8/26/22 had the following: Resident (#5) was discharged home with 2 daughters with all of her belongings. Wound care education was gone over with both of them. On 2/16/23 at 03:10 PM during an interview, Wound Care Nurse F was asked what wound cultures were collected from Resident #5's wound and if wound infection was treated. Nurse F responded she was unaware of any antibiotic treatment prior to resident's discharge home with family. Record review of facility provided hospital records dated 8/30/22 at 11:17 PM revealed that Resident #5 was hospitalized on [DATE] after decline at home and underwent two surgical wound debridement procedures during her stay in a hospital- one on 9/4/22 and the other on 9/8/22. Review of Resident #5's Care Plan indicated under problem Skin Integrity- Resident has a pressure ulcer (2 open areas on buttocks observed on admission), with a start date 08/03/2022. Under Goal there was- Resident's ulcer will heal without complications. Under Approach section there were the following interventions: - Administer analgesics per MD order - Assess and record the condition of the skin surrounding the pressure ulcer - Encourage fluids unless contraindicated - Observe and report signs of infection (e.g., localized pain, redness, swelling, tenderness, drainage, odor, and fever) - Observe for and report signs of pain r/t pressure ulcer - Obtain a dietary consult - Pressure reducing cushion to chair - Pressure reducing mattress - Provide diet, supplements, vitamins and minerals as ordered - Treatment per MD order. Notify MD if treatment is not effective - Weekly skin assessment, measurement, and observation of the pressure ulcer and record All above interventions were initiated on 08/03/2022. No intervention was noted for frequent position change and offloading pressure from the coccyx area. No new interventions and updates were recorded after resident's wound enlarged and showed signs of infection on 8/22/22. Wound and Skin Care Policy was requested and reviewed. Policy dated 5/10/2017 indicated: The following general wound and skin care guidelines should be followed for all residents with potential and/or actual impairment in skin integrity. 2. Turn/reposition residents who are immobile according to their care plan requirements. 16. Reevaluate the wound's response to the prescribed treatment. Make recommendations for changes PRN. Inform MD of changes in wound status. Facility's provided Wound Risk Observation Guideline dated 11/2017, indicated: 1. A RN or LPN shall complete the Admission Nursing Observation and Data Collection which includes a Braden Scale of the risk factors predisposing the resident to skin impairment which includes the initial care plan interventions. 2. Recognized risk factors shall have care plan interventions/approaches identified and put in place to mitigate the risks to the extent possible. According to National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel, September 2016, Unstageable Pressure Injury: Obscured full-thickness skin and tissue loss. Full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough (yellow, brown, wet stringy dead skin) or eschar (brown or blackened dead skin tissue). If slough or eschar is removed, a Stage 3 or Stage 4 pressure injury will be revealed . According to International NPUAP/EPUAP (National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel/ European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; a group of experts who serve as the authoritative voice in pressure injuries) defined pressure injury stages. (A) Stage I-nonblanchable erythema. (B) Stage II-partial thickness skin loss with exposed dermis. (C) Stage III-full-thickness skin loss. (D) Stage IV-full-thickness skin and tissue loss. (E) Unstageable pressure injury-obscured full thickness skin and tissue loss. (F) Deep tissue pressure injury-persistent non-blanchable deep red, maroon, or purple discoloration.

Used with permission of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel March 2018. (C) NPUAP.) Nursing and Patient Care Considerations: Prevent Pressure Ulcer Development- 1. Provide meticulous care and positioning for immobile patients. (a.) Inspect skin several times daily. (b.) Wash skin with mild soap, rinse, and pat dry with a soft towel. (c.) Lubricate skin with a bland lotion to keep skin soft and pliable. (d.) Avoid poorly ventilated mattress that is covered with plastic or impermeable material. (e.) Employ bowel and bladder programs to prevent incontinence. (f.) Encourage ambulation and exercise. (g.) Promote nutritious diet with optimal protein, vitamins, and iron. On 02/17/23 at 10:00 AM an interview was conducted with the DON and Corporate RN A regarding Resident #5's wound care. RN A stated that in December 2022 interdisciplinary team (IDT) conducted random audits and facility identified issues with skin management system charting and classifications. Further deep dive revealed that previously assigned team was not following processes and policies for identification, care and notification of new and worsening wounds. Facility administration immediately took actions and put new wound team in place and conducted process improvement and audits to solidify the new process. DON stated she was personally reviewing residents' charts and observing wound care. The DON explained they created a PIP (Process Improvement Plan) and reviewed the process change in QA (quality assurance), completed audits, and educated staff. Skin Program was reviewed to include all aspects of prevention, assessment and care. Clinical team, as DON stated, was re-educated on the policy and procedures related to the timely identification of risk factors related to onset of new wounds and worsening wounds, timely notification of the providers and responsible parties, wound infection prevention, assessment, and identification, with further re-evaluation of treatment plan. During the interview with wound care nurse F on 2/16/23 at 03:10 PM, she stressed that she received multiple education prior to assuming her role and emphasized how instrumental was support of the DON to her when she started. She also stated that she continued to educate nursing staff on importance of accurate assessment of wounds, timely communication of any changes and accurate charting. During wound care observation on 8/16/22 nurse F showed skills in wound care that were based on current standards of practice. Facility's provided education, assessment of residents, and audits were reviewed. On 2/17/23 at approximately 02:15 PM, a review was completed of the facility's timeline for their process change. - On 12/15/20212 facility's IDT conducted Quality Review and identified areas of opportunities related to the skin management program - On 12/15/2022 deficient practice was identified as it was related to management and assessment of wounds. - On 12/15/2022 new wound [NAME] was identified who was WCC (wound care certified). - On 12/15/2022 Skin Management training and education was initiated to all staff responsible for wound care - On 12/16/2022 staff responsible for wound care prior to quality review was provided 1:1 education - On 12/15/2022, this recognized issue was reported to QA - Compliance date of 12/16/22 During the abbreviated survey the facility was found to be out of compliance with their regulatory requirement. But they recognized the deficient practice, completed a process change, education, and audits prior to survey entry and during the survey they were found to be currently compliant. Therefore, Past Non-Compliance will be granted with a Compliance Date of 12/16/2022.

SW aware and is updating home care. Recommended to daughter to have patient seen by primary within a couple of days of discharge and to schedule an appointment with a urologist. She is not sure if he has one or not and I recommended discussing with PCP (primary care physician). Also, recommended he not utilize geri-chair until skin healed and discussed need for wound specialist. Also, she should not use mechanical lift until properly trained by homecare and should contact SW (social worker) at (facility) if homecare not in by Wednesday. Questions were answered and she is in agreement with treatment plan. She has my contact number and is to call if any concerns arise with transition home. -Dated [DATE] at 2:16 PM, Phone call made to (daughter) about residents decline. Spoke with her about newly developed wound, and concern that preventative measures were placed pressure reducing mattress, allevyn dressing, turning and repositioning, prostat and that he still obtained further skin breakdown. Discussed also about his need for Foley catheter placement after resident not being able to empty his bladder. Explained that they have several options 1. They are able to take resident home still as planned. 2. They are able to keep him here skilled d/t new wound and Foley placement 3. We can send him out to hospital for further work up that is unable to be completed while staying in house. Family has asked that resident be sent to hospital for a work up and to find a potential cause for his decline.

The Resident denied any injury caused by staff not putting the boot on correctly and reported sometimes it hurts. The Resident was pleasant and communicative but when asked again regarding and abuse allegations the Resident did not report any allegations of abuse.

She stated she had called for help and (CNA D) had come in. She stated that a week ago (CNA K) had ripped a remote out of her hand and that was why she had a band aid a bruise on her finger. In the interview with (CNA K) she acknowledged that she did answer (Resident #1's) call light at the beginning of her shift and (Resident #1) had been yelling and screaming, she had attempted to hug (Resident #1) but (Resident #1) continued to yell and scream and had acted like I was choking her and that (CNA D) was finishing up care with (Resident #1). (CNA K's) assignment was changed to not provide care to (Resident #1 for the rest of the night as that had been determined to be a trigger for (Resident #1's) behaviors. When questioned about the skin tear that was on (Resident #1's) hand (CNA K) acknowledged that she had taken the remote out of her hand so that (Resident #1) wouldn't hit her with the remote and that she had not meant to hurt her and had told the nurse, (Nurse T) right away. (CNA K) denied that she had anyone in the room with her for either incident, nor had she ever asked anyone to come in the room with her . (CNA D) was interviewed and stated that she had heard (Resident #1) yelling so she went down to help. She stated that she knows (Resident #1) gets this way but she can usually take care of her without a problem. When (CNA D) entered the room (Resident #1) was on the toilet. (CNA K) threw (Resident #1's) brief in the garbage and left the bathroom when (CNA D) said she would take over. (CNA D) was able to get (Resident #1) off the toilet and into bed without any further incident.

(CNA K) came back to the nurses' station shortly after saying that she had hugged (Resident #1) and (Resident #1) had acted like (CNA K) was choking her. (Nurse M) asked (CNA K) if (Resident #1) had said that she was choking her but she said no, she didn't say that but she was just acting like it. (Nurse M) stated that (Nurse B) had indicated she was going down to give (Resident #1) her medication so she hadn't went back down to (Resident #1's) room after the incident . A review of the facility investigation interview with Resident #1, dated 9/22/20, regarding the incident with Resident #1 on 9/21/20 revealed the following: At approximately 10:05 am I spoke with (Resident #1) following her report of allegation of abuse to RN (Registered Nurse). (Resident #1) stated, '(CNA K) freaked out on me last night'. When asked 'what do you mean when you say 'freaked out'?' (Resident #1) stated 'I had to get up to go to the bathroom and she put my sock on the wrong foot. That's what started it. She pulled me around, put my feet down hard off the bed, she grabbed my arms, set me down hard in the chair the roughly transferred me to the toilet. She told me that she was going to 'hug the meanness out of me' and would not let me go. She was grabbing me hard on the shoulder. I told her that she was smothering me and that her pin was poking me. She did have ahold of my shoulder. She got mad and ripped my brief off, put another one back on and then ripped that off too. I had to yell for help and (CNA D) came running in. I always have problems with (CNA K). A week ago she ripped the remote out of my hand so hard that it hurt me. That's why I have this band aid. I have bruises from her fingers. She told me that she goes to a psychologist for her control issues. She just tries to tell me how to run my life, and the more she [NAME] at me the more agitated I get. I ask her to be quiet but she tells me she can say whatever I want. A couple of days ago she was in here and I tried to wheel out of the room for help and she pulled my back in by the wheelchair. Sometimes I use my good foot to push her hands away when she puts my boot on because she hurts me and doesn't stop when I tell her that hurts, and signed by Staff U. A review of the facility investigation interviews with staff, dated 9/22/20, regarding the incident with Resident #1 on 9/21/20 revealed the following: -Interview with Nurse T on 9/22/20 at 3:47 PM, revealed, On 9/7/2020 (CNA K) had told me that (Resident #1) had hit her hand on the corner of the bed remote. I went down to see (Resident #1) and asked her what had happened and she showed me the bed remote, pointing to the corner of it. She didn't report any allegations at that time, denied feeling unsafe, declined for her son to be called. (CNA K) did not report that she had 'ripped' the remote out of her hand. I had specifically asked the questions to ensure she felt safe and that nothing had happened. I did not tell her that she had to go to the hospital if she wanted to report (CNA K) or call the police. In the past I had told her that (Doctor's name) would send her to the hospital if her behaviors escalated but that was when (Doctor) had ordered that and it was a long time ago. I try to go in to answer (Resident #1's) light as much as I can but for some reason (CNA K) always wants to get her light. I know that (Resident #1) is supposed to be witnessed care and I try to be the witness as often as I can. -Interview with Nurse M, dated 9/22/20 at 4:23 PM, revealed, (Nurse B) and I were doing report. (Resident #1's) light went on and (CNA K) went down there to answer it. (Resident #1) started yelling. (CNA D) went down there. (CNA K) came back down the hallway sobbing kind of hurriedly. (CNA K) said she couldn't take it anymore and that (Resident #1) had been so mean to her stating that she had tried to hug (Resident #1) and she demonstrated how she had hugged her [standing to her side and wrapping her arms around her] but (Resident #1) had been hitting at her and yelling at her. (Resident #1) made a choking noise when (CNA K) hugged her. I have been in the room with (Resident #1) and (CNA K) and (CNA K) can do everything right and (Resident #1) will still yell at her and call her names, treating her like garbage and she is a good aide. She always says that (CNA K) can't do anything right. She did not come right out and say that (Resident #1) was saying she was choked but she made the noise indicative of choking. I didn't go back down there because (Nurse B) said she was going down there. -Interview with Nurse B, dated 9/22/20 at 4:00 PM, revealed, (Resident #1's) light went on at 10p. (CNA K) went down there and I could immediately hear (Resident #1) screaming. (Nurse M) and I were doing report. (CNA D) went down that way. (CNA K) came back a few minutes later really upset and crying stating that she went in there with a new attitude thinking it would be a fresh start and she tried to hug her but (Resident #1) had said she had tried to choke her. I tried to calm (CNA K) down and told (CNA K) she couldn't go in there again. I went down to give her a medication around midnight and she was calm at that time and didn't voice any concerns. (Resident #1) did not appear to have any injuries except for an old abrasion on her left leg. -Interview with CNA D, dated 9/22/20 at 2:20 PM, revealed, I was on the hall charting on residents at the end of my shift. Call lights were on. (CNA K) went into (Resident #1's) room to answer her call light. I heard (Resident #1) screaming 'Get off of me' over and over. I went in to see what was going on and when I went in (Resident #1) was on the toilet screaming and (CNA K) was in the bathroom crying. (CNA K) was not touching (Resident #1). (CNA K) threw the brief into the basket and pushed the shower chair that was in the bathroom. I asked (CNA K) what happened and she said she was trying to get her into her chair and (Resident #1) freaked out. I told (CNA K) I could take care of (Resident #1) from here and she left the room. (Resident #1) and I were okay. I got her off of the toilet, got her in bed, put her boot on and she was still agitated but had settled some and had allowed me to provide care without incident. I know we are supposed to have two people in the room to take care of (Resident #1). -Interview with CNA K, dated 9/22/20, revealed, It was not more than ten minutes into my shift and (Resident #1) had her light on. I went in and she immediately had an attitude. I could tell by the look on her face and she made a 'clucking' noise. I turned off her call light and she wanted to go the bathroom so I started getting her socks on her feet and she got upset when I put a sock on her foot that the boot goes on. I told her she needed to wear that one and then transferred her to the wheelchair. She was yelling and hollering at me. I tried to calm her down. I went behind her and gave her a hug from the backside trying to make her understand that I care about her. She was pinching and grabbing at me. I took her into the bathroom and she continued to yell and scream at me. Her brief tore while I was pulling it down so I got her another brief and threw that one away. (CNA D) came into the bathroom and said she had it from here. I tried to explain to her what had happened. As I left the room I bumped into the shower chair that was in the bathroom and I pushed it out of the way. It wasn't near (Resident #1) and didn't hit her. I never went back into the room. I did not have a witness when I was in there. I know she is witnessed care but I didn't ask anyone to help me because the nurses were giving report. I usually don't get someone. I know I should but sometimes (Resident #1) is good with me. I did tell (Nurse B) and (Nurse M) that I had tried to hug (Resident #1) and she was upset and she was acting like I choked her. No one has ever refused to be a witness for me . I hugged her because I wanted to let her know that I still care about her even when she is mean to me. I wanted to hold her. I feel like that sometimes I trigger her. She calls me all kinds of names and I know you guys said to not let it get to me and that she does that to a lot of people but it eats at me. I do tell (Resident #1) personal things and then (Resident #1) uses those things against me . There was a time to that I took the remote out of her hand because I didn't want her to throw it at me . I took the remote out of her hand and it made her get a skin tear. I told the nurse about the skin tear . On 5/13/21 at 2:14 PM, an interview was conducted with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) regarding Resident #1's investigation report for the facility reported incident. The NHA was queried regarding Resident #1's abuse investigation. The NHA reported the Resident was her own responsible party and was alert and oriented but had problems with orientation to time and had some behaviors towards staff. The NHA reported the Resident was witnessed care which meant that with any care provided, when the door was closed to provide care then two staff were to be in the room. The NHA indicated that witnessed care was to be provided on all shifts, for all care that included, showers, dressing, and up to bathroom. When queried why the Resident was on witnessed care, the NHA stated, The Resident has made allegations in the past, and it was to protect the Resident and staff, was in the Resident's plan of care for a long time, was not something new and could be found on the care tracker that CNAs used to know about the care required for the Resident. The staff statements in the investigation report were reviewed with the NHA. The NHA was queried when CNA K had been crying and upset and said she had tried to hug Resident #1 and CNA K indicated that the Resident thought she was choking her if that was an allegation of abuse and needed to be reported, the NHA reported it should have been reported. When queried if the Resident should have been assessed after yelling out for help, the NHA indicated the Nurses should have assessed her immediately. When queried if CNA K was pulled from working with other Residents, the NHA reported they did not have her take care of Resident #1 for the rest of the night but indicated she should have not continued to work. When queried if CNA K should have hugged the Resident, the NHA indicated that Resident #1 was not one who is really huggy, and the intervention for the Resident's behavior was to make sure she was safe and leave her alone, then reapproach or have someone else go in. The NHA reported that CNA K should have gotten assistance when she answered the light and the Resident needed to go to the bathroom and reported that CNA D should have gotten someone to go in with her for care. She's not to be alone with (Resident #1). The NHA indicated that CNA K had pushed the shower chair out of frustration and that CNA K should not have been doing Resident care when frustrated and stated, The two nurses (Nurse B and Nurse M) should have reported an abuse allegation that night. They were disciplined for not reporting and not following abuse policy. They should have assessed her immediately as well. They were educated on the Abuse Policy. When queried regarding the incident on 9/7/21 when CNA K had taken the remote from Resident #1 and caused the skin tear, the NHA indicated that the injury to the Residents hand should have been reported when the incident happened. On 5/13/21 at 3:38 PM, CNA D was interviewed regarding her witness statement for the incident on 9/20/20 with Resident #1 and CNA K. CNA D said CNA K had gone to answer Resident #1's call light, heard Resident #1 screaming, went down there and Resident #1 was crying and screaming, her and CNA K were arguing, seen CNA K hug the Resident on the toilet and stated, She hugged her like she was restraining her. She (Resident #1) was gurgling and yelling at the top of her lungs. CNA D continued and stated, (CNA K) was frustrated and got mad enough to throw the briefs and banged the shower chair. I took over, I got her into the bed. She (CNA K) was ticked off, crying and full of anger. She stormed out and went up the hall. The CNA reported she had told the Nurse what happened. When queried what she had told the Nurse, CNA D stated, (Resident #1) and (CNA K) were in a big [NAME]. The shower chair was thrown around. I just wanted to let you know. The CNA reported her shift was done and she had stayed to do some charting and left after the incident. The CNA stated, This is something I should have told them about, when queried who them were the CNA reported the Abuse Coordinator and stated, I told (Nurse B) and left it at that. On 5/14/21 at 11:29 AM and 11:41 AM, a phone call was made to CNA K but there was no answer, and a message was left to return the call but the CNA did not return the phone call prior to the exit of the survey. On 5/14/21 at 11:44 AM, an interview was conducted with Nurse B regarding the incident on 9/20/20 with Resident #1 and CNA K. When queried regarding the incident, the Nurse reported that CNA K had gone to Resident #1's room to answer the light and stated, She (CNA K) had come back crying. She tried to give (Resident #1) a hug. Bad move because (Resident #1) started screaming that she was trying to hurt her. That is what (CNA K) came back and told us, and reported she was getting report from the other Nurse (Nurse M). The Nurse continued, She was not one that liked hugs. I don't know why (CNA K) would do that. Some days (Resident #1) is nice and friendly, other days she screams at you. I didn't understand why (CNA K) would think that (Resident #1) was receptive to a hug. (Resident #1) did not like (CNA K). The Nurse stated, I should have reported it. I asked if everything was alright when I gave her medication. The Nurse was queried approximately when she had given the medication to Resident #1 and reported it had been about an hour later. When queried if anyone had gone down to assess the resident after the resident had been screaming, the Nurse stated, An Aide went down to finish toileting her, when queried regarding any assessment of the Resident, the Nurse stated, I just asked if she was OK. We should have gone down either (Nurse M) or myself, we were both there. The Nurse reported that it was an incident that should have been reported immediately to the Administrator. When queried if CNA K was pulled from working with Residents, the Nurse indicated the CNA was not to go into Resident #1's room for the rest of the shift but continued to work with other Residents and another CNA was assigned care of Resident #1.
