Summary
A deficiency occurred when a geriatric nursing assistant (GNA) was observed to have been rough and aggressive with a resident, resulting in bruising on the resident's right ankle. The incident was initially identified when another staff member noticed the bruising and questioned the resident, who then reported the aggressive behavior by the GNA. The facility conducted an investigation, which included reviewing statements and physical findings, and verified the allegation of abuse. The Nursing Home Administrator was aware of the verified abuse incident.
