a chance to think, she told CMA R what had happened, and CMA R told her to go and tell the administrator.

CNA N stated she was trained on ANE. On 12/22/25 at 12:30 PM, CNA O stated CNA M always seemed aggravated with residents while assisting with cares. CNA O stated she would tell CNA M to stop being rude to residents, but she did not want to start anything with someone she was working with, so she just let

it go. CNA O stated Resident R5 heard everything CNA M was saying about him, but he just let them continue to change him and get him ready for supper.

It is the policy of the facility to treat each resident with respect, kindness, dignity, and care, to keep them free from abuse and neglect, and to take swift and immediate action to investigate and adjudicate alleged resident abuse and neglect.The facility identified and implemented immediate corrective actions, which were completed on 12/12/25 and included: All nursing staff re-educated on Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Policy, an emergency Quality, Assurance, and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meeting was held with the facility's medical director. An emergency resident council meeting was conducted to discuss abuse and neglect. The local police department was contacted, and a report was filed. SSD will meet with each affected resident weekly for four weeks to check

on any psychosocial impact. Due to the corrective actions completed before the onsite survey, the citation was deemed past noncompliance at an F scope and severity to represent Resident R1, Resident R2, Resident R3, Resident R4, Resident R5, and Resident R6's potential psychological harm of embarrassment and/or humiliation.
