F 0610 The facility failed to protect Resident R1 from verbal abuse and neglect to provide needed services of toileting. CNA2 refused to assist Resident R1 to the toilet, witnessed shouting at Resident R1 and reported to have made other inappropriate Level of Harm - Minimal harm or comments. CNA2 stated during interview that she told Resident R1 to urinate in her diaper. As a result of these willful potential for actual harm acts, Resident R1 suffered mental anguish and emotional harm.

Residents Affected - Few 2) Resident R3 was a [AGE] year old female admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Her medical diagnosis included but not limited to chronic kidney disease, Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, dysphasia, Hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting right dominant side following stroke, full incontinence of bowel and bladder. Resident R3 is dependent on staff for meeting emotional, physical and social needs due to her physical limitations. She was on hospice and expired on [DATE REDACTED].

The facility was notified by APS that they opened a case for Resident R3 and requested documents.

Reviewed a typed unsigned statement that included On [DATE REDACTED]. I was the evening Charge Nurse .when 1 CNA came to me and told me that the agency CNA and a regular staff of the facility are arguing loudly inside room [ROOM NUMBER]. I went to intervene and saw them close to eachother still arguing. Prior to the incident, I learned that they were arguing about resident assignment .When asked if she (agency CNA) can change the said resident (Resident R3), the agency CNA agreed to change her.After separating them, I was not really sure what happened why they came to a point where they are shouting to each other. I just wanted to separate them.

On [DATE REDACTED] at 10:00 AM, interviewed the DON in the conference room. At that time, she said she was aware of a situation with Resident R3 on [DATE REDACTED], and that she was in charge at that time. The DON confirmed the unsigned statement referenced above was hers. She went on to say there was an issue with CNA assignments at change of shift but that the issue had been resolved and assignments had been worked out. The DON said apparently Resident R3 was found to be soiled by the assigned CNA, and there was a question of why she had been assigned to that particular resident. The DON said she had recently been made aware that there was a APS case opened on Resident R3. When inquired if she reviewed Resident R3's medical records to identify any potential care issues and specifically if she had reviewed the CNA task documentation for timely brief changes on [DATE REDACTED], since

this had been brought to her attention, she replied no. The DON reviewed the documentation and agreed there was lack of evidence Resident R3 had been checked every two hours for incontinence that day.

There was no investigation to identify any care issues or neglect to provide services conducted by the facility

after the CNA expressed concern of staff not changing residents in a timely manner and the incident that occurred on [DATE REDACTED]. It was viewed as an interpersonal conflict between staff related to assignments which was considered resolved.
