CNA G reported Resident #101 was aware of the need to urinate/have a bowel movement and became upset when he soiled himself.

CNA G confirmed she was not involved in developing interventions to reduce Resident #101's fall risk.In an interview on 11/24/25 at 11:50am, CNA F reported Resident #101 became stressed when he soiled himself and would attempt to clean himself up. CNA F reported Resident #101 at times appeared to have difficulty urinating when he tried to do so while on the toilet. CNA F also reported she noticed Resident #101 consistently leaned to the left when sitting, standing and transferring.In an interview on 11/24/25 at 8:24am, CNA AA reported nursing assistants were not involved in developing care interventions but added that he felt could provide information that would benefit the residents if asked.In an interview on 11/24/25 at 10:21am, CNA JJ stated (Resident #101) does not like to be soiled. If he is wet, he takes off his brief and tries to walk to the bathroom.In an interview on 11/20/25 at 9:25am, CNA P confirmed Resident #101 displayed that it was important to him to be clean and dry because he expressed emotional distress when his brief was soiled.In an interview on 11/24/25 at 3:10pm RN BB reported Resident #101 frequently got up and tried to assist himself to the bathroom if his brief was soiled. RN BB reported sometimes the schedule for checking and changing Resident #101 ran late and he got up on his own.In an interview on 11/25/25 at 4:10pm, DON B reported the facility could not confirm Resident #101 was being assisted with toileting every 1-2 hours per his care plan because the staff had not been asked to document when they assisted him. DON B reported the IDT discussed changing the time Resident #101 received tamsulosin hydrochloride (medication used to treat urinary urgency by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder), which was currently ordered to be given at 6:00pm, but had not done so. DON B reported the facility's pharmacist verified the medication could be given during the day if needed. DON B reported she had no knowledge of Resident #101 having urinary urgency or a longstanding history of losing his balance when he turned toward his right. DON B confirmed Resident #101 was still getting up several times a night to urinate.

SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 6 staff members (Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) G, CNA TT, CNA Z, CNA G, CNA UU and Registered Nurse (RN) BB ) of 6 staff reviewed for behavioral competency, had the appropriate skills needed to provide care in a manner that supported each resident's psychosocial wellness, resulting in the potential for inappropriate staff to resident interactions, inability of staff to appropriately address residents in psychological distress, unmet care needs, and resident not maintaining or achieving highest practical psycho-social wellbeing.

Findings include:In an interview on 11/20/25 at 9:24am, CNA P reported she struggled to successfully care for several residents in the memory care unit of the facility. CNA P reported working in memory care was her least favorite hall because she did not know how to care for the resident's without triggering their stress responses. CNA P stated I say I'm sorry to residents back there more than anywhere else in the building because they get so upset.In an interview on 11/20/25 at 1:58pm, CNA E reported she has worked in memory care for many years. CNA E reported some of the staff did not know how to approach residents in the memory care unit.

CNA E reported she regularly saw some staff members triggering residents' stress responses, the resident responding by flailing their arms, banging against things, and she wondered if that was why more residents were being found with injuries of unknown origin.In an interview on 11/21/25 at 8:29am, CNA Z reported several staff members did not seem to have the skills needed to avoid triggering psychological stress responses from the residents. CNA Z reported it was not uncommon for other CNA's to say they were unable to complete personal care for certain residents because the resident became too upset when approached.In an interview on 11/19/25 at 11:32pm, Registered Nurse (RN) GG reported some staff members did not know how to effectively care for residents who were prone to bouts of psychological distress. RN GG reported she witness staff approaching residents in a manner that led to unnecessary emotional distress. RN GG reported the staff members were not acting maliciously, they simple just did not understand how to approach the resident.In an interview on 11/24/25 at 4:10pm, Director of Nursing (DON) B reported staff were expected to have the skills they needed to successfully work in any area of the facility, at any time, including in the memory care unit.In an email on 11/25/25 at 9:17am, verification of staff competencies completed in the last 12 months was requested for 5 staff members, including CNA P, CNA TT and RN BB.In an interview on 11/25/25 at 10:16am, DON B reported it was determined that RN BB, CNA P, and CNA TT had not completed nursing competencies in the last 12 months, including a behavioral health competency. DON B reported CNA Z, CNA UU and RN BB had completed nursing competencies in the last 12 months.

Review of the competencies provided for CNA Z, CNA UU and RN BB, revealed the nursing competencies evaluated for these staff members were completed greater than 12 months ago.Review of staffing schedules revealed RN BB, CNA P, CNA G, CNA TT, CNA UU and CNA Z remained actively employed at the facility and provided care throughout the building.Review of a Facility Assessment with a reference date of 8/1/25 revealed INFORMATION ABOUT OUR RESIDENTS:.Severely impairment of cognition=43.5%, .CARE WE OFFER BASED ON OUR RESIDENT'S NEEDS: .care of someone with cognitive impairments, care of individuals with.trauma/PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), other psychiatric diagnoses.Training Program Evaluation:.We develop a curriculum and training plan on staff need and resident characteristics.
