Failure to Maintain Clean Environment in Nursing Unit
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and comfortable environment on the nursing unit, as evidenced by resident interviews and direct observations. During a confidential interview, a resident reported that the floors in their rooms were not cleaned thoroughly. This was corroborated by a group interview where two out of four residents also mentioned that the floors on the nursing unit were not always cleaned thoroughly. Observations conducted over two days revealed dirt and debris on the floors of several rooms, including rooms 204, 217, 219, and 221. Additionally, a white substance was smudged on the floor of one room, which remained throughout the observation period. These findings indicate a failure to provide a clean and homelike environment as required by regulations.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent resident-to-resident physical abuse, specifically involving Resident 55 and Resident 29. Resident 55, who had a history of diffuse traumatic brain injury, anxiety, mood disorder, and impulse disorder, was known to exhibit physical behaviors. The care plan for Resident 55 included a behavior management plan that required staff to keep the resident at arm's length from other residents. Despite this, on December 7, 2024, Resident 55 was left unsupervised in the hallway, where he scratched and hit Resident 29. Prior to the incident, Resident 55 had shown signs of agitation and aggressive behaviors, including throwing items and attempting to grab, scratch, kick, and hit staff. Witness statements confirmed that Resident 55 was agitated before the incident and was left unattended within reach of other residents. The Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 55 was unsupervised when the incident occurred, which was against the care plan's requirements.
