SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
walked from room to room prior to leaving, but they said everyone was fine and left. CNA 'G' began rounds when CNA 'H' came to her and showed her that R801's shirt sleeves were tied together. CNA 'G' described it as both sleeves were tied together so when R801 lifted her hands it formed a circle. CNA 'G' reported R801 was unable to move her arms. CNA 'G' explained CNA 'H' got the nurse (RN 'E') and CNA 'H' and the nurse untied R801's sleeves. CNA 'G' reported when she left for her shift, the same CNAs (CNA 'C' and CNA 'D') arrived for their shift (day shift) and she brought up how she found R801 restrained and they denied that they did it.
When queried about whether she reported R801 being physically restrained to anyone other than RN 'E', CNA 'G' reported she thought the nurse would have given her an incident report to fill out, but she did not. CNA 'G' reported she thought the nurse reported the incident and the facility would contact her for a statement. CNA 'G' explained she left her shift and went home and slept and when she woke up realized nobody called her. At that time, she contacted the DON, approximately 9-10 hours after she initially saw R801 restrained. On 10/29/25 at 1:26 PM, an interview was attempted via the telephone with CNA 'H'. CNA 'H' was not available for an interview prior to the end of the survey.A review of a statement given by CNA 'H' that was included in the facility's investigation revealed CNA 'H' said, I came in as (CNA 'C' and CNA 'D') were leaving (on 10/14/25).
They said there was nothing special to report. I started rounds and found (R801) with her shirt sleeves tied together at the end. I got (CNA 'G') and we both agreed it was not right .could not move her arms freely. I waited until (RN 'E') was done with narcotic count to report to (RN 'E') .(RN 'E') and I went to (R801's) room and untied her sleeves .On 10/29/25 at 2:06 PM, an interview was conducted with the Administrator.
The Administrator reported she was not the Abuse Coordinator for the facility and that was the Director of Nursing (DON) who was not available during the survey.
The Administrator reported she was still made aware of any abuse situations in the facility and was made aware of R801 being physically restrained.
When queried about the process for reporting any alleged or actual abuse, the Administrator reported staff were required to report immediately to the Abuse Coordinator and the alleged perpetrator was suspended immediately pending investigation.
The Administrator reported RN 'E' should have reported it as soon as she found out, as well as CNA 'G' and CNA 'H'.
The Administrator reported RN 'E's employment was terminated, but explained it was for other reasons. CNA 'G' and CNA 'H' were educated about abuse reporting with the rest of the staff but did not receive any disciplinary action. A review of CNA 'C's time punches revealed she punched in at 6:40 AM on 10/14/25 and punched out at 10:41 PM. CNA 'C' punched in at 6:35 AM and punched out at 9:49 PM which indicated she worked almost two whole shifts the following day after she physically restrained R801.A review of CNA 'D''s time punches revealed she punched in at 6:27 AM on 10/14/25 and punched out at 10:42 PM. CNA 'D' punched in at 6:27 AM on 10/15/25 and punched out at 2:43 PM which indicated she worked the entire day shift on 10/15/25, the day after R801 was found to be restrained. A review of a facility policy titled, Abuse/Suspected Abuse; Crime Investigation & Reporting, revised February 2023, revealed, in part, the following, .Any person(s) witnessing or having knowledge of potential or actual abuse or crime must immediately report the incident to the Administrator and/or designee .the facility will report all alleged violations to the state agency and to all other agencies as required and take all necessary corrective actions depending on the results of the investigations .Reports are submitted online into the (SSA electronic reporting system) .Immediately but no later than 2 hours if the alleged violation involves abuse .
