(Resident C) Findings include:The clinical record for Resident C was reviewed on 02/05/2026 at 10:10 A.M. A Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11/21/2025, indicated the resident was severely cognitively impaired. The resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, bipolar (a chronic mental health condition) and non-Alzheimer's dementia (a progressive, irreversible brain disorder). A Psychiatric Progress Note, dated 01/27/2026 at 11:46 A.M. , indicated Resident C had increased physical and verbal aggression towards peers, and was currently on one-on-one staff monitoring. The staff and provider determined Resident C was currently not a risk of harm to himself or to his peers.

Staff members had come into her room early in the morning, after breakfast, and said she was going to take a shower. The resident held onto the grab bar on the side of the bed and kept saying she refused. The staff peeled her fingers off her side grab bar and proceeded to use the mechanical lift, transferred her to a shower chair, and forced her to take a shower. The resident indicated she was just bruised on her hands. There were no visible bruises observed to the resident's hands. The resident indicated she gave one of the aides a good titty twister when they got one of her hands loose, she should not have touched the aide, she was just angry. She had not been bruised during care in the past. Her shower days were Wednesdays and Saturdays. The staff that were working with her were Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) 2 and CNA 3.

(Resident 46) Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to monitor residents following falls related to neurological assessments and to revise the Care Plan for 4 of 7 residents reviewed for accident hazards. (Residents 24, 32, 42, and 2) This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediately Jeopardy began on 08/28/18 at 01:45 A.M. when the facility failed to implement safety interventions, and supervision for a resident with a history of self-harm. The Executive Director and Director of Nursing were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 09/10/18 at 04:50 P.M. Findings include: 1. The clinical record for Resident 46 was reviewed on 09/10/18 at 11:42 A.M. A Quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 07/30/18, indicated the resident was cognitively intact. [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. No behaviors were identified during the seven day look back period. A Care Plan for being at risk for a decline in mood related to a [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

The interventions for the 08/28/18 focus revision date included one on one supervision, sending to a local hospital emergency room , and sending to a neuro-psychiatric hospital on [DATE]. A progress note for Resident 46, dated 08/28/2018 at 02:53 A.M., indicated Resident 46 had repeatedly been using her call light and yelling out, stating I don't want to be here. I'd rather die. I'm going to kill myself. RN 2 indicated she had attempted to verbally calm the resident to no avail. She entered Resident 46's room at 01:45 A.M. to see Resident 46 with the call light cord wrapped around her neck two times. RN 2 wrote that she remained in the resident's room for several minutes to attempt to calm and reassure the resident, again to no avail. RN 2 indicated she returned to Resident 46's room at 02:20 A.M. to find her with the call light cord wrapped around her neck twice again. At that time Resident 46 was brought to the nurse's station for 1:1 supervision. A progress note for Resident 46, dated 08/29/18 at 03:05 P.M., indicated Resident leaving at this time for neuro-psych. A progress note for Resident 46, dated 06/05/18 at 02:21 A.M., indicated Resident 46 was upset and complained of being unable to sleep. res (resident) grabbed call light cord and attempted to wrap it around her neck with writer present, writer took call cord from resident and gave her a bell to use for needs.
