Failure to Prevent Resident‑to‑Resident Physical Abuse Among Cognitively Impaired Residents
G
F0600
Short Summary

Multiple cognitively impaired residents with known behavioral issues, including wandering, agitation, and physical aggression, were not adequately protected from resident‑to‑resident abuse. In one case, a resident with dementia and PTSD was pushed to the floor by another resident who had a history of combative behavior, resulting in multiple fractures and facial lacerations after staff initially documented the event as an unwitnessed fall. In another case, two residents with dementia and psychotic features engaged in a physical altercation in a dayroom after one placed his hand on the other’s chest, leading to mutual punching. A separate incident occurred when a resident with dementia and behavioral disturbances entered another resident’s room, pulled at the bedcovers, yelled that the room was his house, and allegedly struck the other resident, who was later noted with puffiness around one eye. In all incidents, the involved residents had documented behavioral care plans and significant cognitive impairment, yet physical confrontations still occurred.

Resident Injury from Improper Hoyer Lift Operation During Transfer
D
F0689
Short Summary

A resident with dementia, spinal stenosis, and total dependence for transfers, care-planned for Hoyer lift use with two-person assist, was being transferred from a shower bed to a Geri-chair when the Hoyer lift tipped sideways. Staff reported the lift’s legs had been widened and that one CNA manually pushed the feet apart instead of using the control, and straps may have been unevenly positioned. The resident was lowered to the floor while still in the sling and sustained a small skin tear to the elbow; imaging later showed no fractures. The DON stated that three CNAs were involved, including one on light duty who was not supposed to be using the lift, and that no mechanical defect was found with the lift.

Incomplete Investigations of Multiple Abuse Allegations
E
F0610
Short Summary

The facility failed to thoroughly investigate several allegations of verbal and potential physical abuse involving four cognitively intact residents with conditions including hemiplegia, rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 DM, epilepsy, and heart disease. In each case, the facility’s investigations were limited, often including only the directly involved resident and omitting interviews with other potentially knowledgeable residents or staff. One resident reported a verbal altercation with a CNA after a fall to the floor, another reported being verbally abused by a roommate’s family member, a third reported a male CNA was too rough and upset while changing linens, and a fourth reported a staff member insulted her and refused brief care. Investigation files lacked broader resident and staff interviews, timely physical and psychosocial assessments, and review of the accused staff member’s employee record, contrary to the facility’s abuse policy requiring identification and interviews of all involved persons and others who might have knowledge of the allegations.

Failure to Protect Resident From Verbal Abuse and Delay in Reporting Incident
D
F0600
Short Summary

A resident with rectal cancer and intact cognition reported that an RN on night shift confronted him when he returned from smoking off campus, spoke to him loudly about his smoking, used profanity, and threatened to have staff refuse to buzz him back into the building. A CNA corroborated that the RN was upset about being called in to work and used curse words toward the resident, but did not report the incident at the time because the RN was the night supervisor. The resident reported the event to the Social Services Director the next day, yet the facility initially treated it as a grievance rather than abuse and delayed submitting a report to the State Survey Agency until weeks later, after determining it was a reportable abuse incident.

Failure to Provide Required ADL and Hygiene Care to Dependent Residents
D
F0677
Short Summary

Two residents did not receive required ADL and hygiene care as care planned. One resident with dementia and osteoarthritis, dependent for toileting and personal hygiene, was not toileted during an evening shift, with CNA documentation showing no toileting and the oncoming CNA finding the resident’s clothing, linens, and mattress saturated with urine; the assigned CNA reported care resistance but did not notify an RN or LPN. Another resident with dementia and stroke, requiring assistance with dressing and personal hygiene, remained in bed in pajamas into the afternoon without having received morning care, despite CNA documentation indicating dressing was completed; the CNA later confirmed that care was only provided after being questioned by an RN supervisor following a family complaint.

Failure to Provide Adequate Supervision and Assistance During Bed Mobility for High-Risk Resident
D
F0689
Short Summary

A resident with left-sided weakness after a stroke, high fall risk, and total dependence for ADLs and bed mobility was being turned onto their side for peri care by an aide when they fell from the bed to the floor, sustaining head trauma and a scalp laceration while on blood thinners. The care plan required extensive to total assistance with two-person support for bed mobility, but the fall occurred during care without documentation of the required level of assistance, indicating the facility did not provide adequate supervision and assistance to prevent accidents as outlined in its own fall prevention practices.

Failure to Ensure Safe Discharge with Confirmed Home Services and Support
J
F0627
Short Summary

A resident with significant upper extremity weakness and recent surgery was discharged home to a multi-story residence without confirmed DME delivery, home health services, or caregiver support. Although referrals for home health, skilled nursing, and DME were made and family attended a discharge care plan meeting, staff did not verify that services were active, did not set or confirm a start-of-care date with the agency, and did not confirm delivery of a hospital bed. The resident, who lived alone and could not manage fine motor tasks, arrived home without in-home assistance, reported difficulty with eating and self-care, and was later found by an HHA RN in unsafe conditions, unable to access food or medications, leading to emergency transport back to the hospital.

Failure to Maintain Adequate Hydration Resulting in Recurrent AKI and Hospitalization
G
F0692
Short Summary

A resident with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, CHF, and a history of AKI had documented fluid goals and was identified as at risk for dehydration and malnutrition, yet daily intake records repeatedly showed fluid consumption well below the recommended amounts. Despite severely impaired cognition, poor oral intake, and documented changes in mentation, lethargy, falls, and restlessness, the facility did not consistently implement or document enhanced monitoring, assistive feeding measures, or timely provider consultation focused on hydration. The resident was hospitalized twice with AKI, dehydration, hypotension, and anemia, and staff interviews confirmed that while expectations existed to encourage fluids and notify providers when goals were not met, there was no clear evidence that these expectations were carried out for this resident.

Failure to Arrange Timely Home Health Services Prior to Discharge
D
F0627
Short Summary

A resident with cardiac conditions was discharged home with a documented post-discharge plan for home health aide, home health RN/LPN, and PT/OT, but the facility did not complete the home health referral before discharge. The resident went home with a family member and, according to a complaint, did not receive PT, OT, or a nursing wellness check for about a week. The SW later confirmed the referral for home health and therapy services was not requested until several days after discharge, and services did not begin until even later, despite therapy recommendations that are typically communicated to social services to arrange home care.

Failure to Revise Care Plans and Involve Resident in Care Planning
D
F0657
Short Summary

The facility failed to consistently revise care plans to reflect residents’ current needs and behaviors and did not ensure a cognitively intact resident was involved in ongoing care planning. One resident participated in an initial care conference but was not included in later care plan updates. Another resident with an order for a palm protector was frequently observed without it and often refused it, yet the care plan did not address refusals. Two cognitively impaired residents whose MDS assessments showed dependence for bathing had care plans that still listed only setup or one‑person assist. A cognitively impaired resident with combative behaviors and an incident of striking another resident had a behavior care plan that was not updated to include attempts to hit other residents or the risk of resident‑to‑resident altercations.
