Policy
suspecting, or receiving any allegation of abuse, neglect or exploitation shall immediately report any of the above circumstances to their immediate supervisor, the Clinical Team Manager for the unit (Hebrew Home of Greater [NAME]), their shift supervisor, or Executive Director.
Reporting must be immediate, without delay.
Further, the policy defines abuse as, the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. It includes verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse. 3.
Psychological or verbal abuse: Mistreatment that affects a person's emotional or mental health or wellbeing, including but not limited to: intimidation, threats of punishment or harm, harassment, humiliation, insults, belittlement, or isolation.
The use of oral, written or gestured language that disparages or demeans residents or their families, regardless of their age, ability to comprehend, or disability.
Examples include, but are not limited to: threats of harm; saying things to frighten a resident.The facility implemented corrective action plans to include: The termination of SW24, education/in-servicing provided to all staff on abuse and communication which was reviewed without concerns, and education provided to outside coordination of care workers on abuse and reporting and accompanying policy requiring the same.
The facility provided a copy of email correspondence between the Director of Social Work and the support planner from the community integration service company.
The email was dated 7/3/25 and stated, in part, if you are vising any residents in our facility and you see anything that could be misconstrued as hostile, negative, abusive, or unprofessional by our staff toward any resident, we ask that you inform someone of what you saw, no matter how miniscule or flagrant it may be. We at HHGW want to insure [sic] the best overall experience and safety to our residents.
The email was acknowledged and signed by the support planner on 7/7/25.The facility verified the allegations of Quality of Care/Treatment and Administration/Personnel; however, this surveyor's investigation will substantiate a past noncompliance finding of the deficient practice of abuse (mental/verbal) as evidenced by a social worker demonstrating verbal and non-verbal aggressive behavior toward the resident which caused and had the potential to cause the resident to experience humiliation, intimidation, shame, agitation, and/or degradation and did not promote an environment to enhance the resident's dignity.
