Findings include: The Older Adult Protective Services Act of November 6, 1987, amended by Act 1997-13, Chapter 7, Section 701, requires that all administrators or employees who have reasonable cause to suspect that a resident was a victim of sexual abuse, that abuse/neglect resulted in serious physical injury and/or serious bodily injury, or that a death was suspicious, were to make an immediate report to the Protective Services Agency, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA), and to law enforcement officials. The facility's policy regarding abuse, dated December 30, 2024, revealed that facility staff all allegations of abuse, neglect, involuntary seclusion, injuries of unknown source, and misappropriation of resident property must be reported immediately to the Administrator, Director of Nursing and to the applicable state agency. The facility will notify the department of health within two hours when the facility receives a complaint of alleged abuse, neglect or misappropriation of resident property. The administrator or designee will provide a written report for employees, using the PB22 (a form for reporting abuse), to the department of health within five calendar days of the incident. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment (a mandated assessment of a resident's abilities and care needs) for Resident 1, dated June 10, 2025, indicated that the resident was cognitively intact, required assistance from staff with daily care needs, had recent falls, and had diagnoses that included diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and seizures. Facility investigation documents dated August 21, 2025, at 4:00 a.m. revealed that Resident 1 had a witnessed fall, nursing reports that resident was observed stumbling in bathroom and lost his balance and was assisted to the floor. A witness statement dated August 22, 2025 from Nurse Aide 1 revealed that she heard Licensed Practical Nurse 2 tell the resident You can f*****g stay on the floor. A statement from Resident 1 dated August 22, 2025, revealed that he fell in the bathroom and Licensed Practical Nurse 2 stated that she should leave me on the f*****g floor. He stated that he did not want her to care for him anymore. During an
interview with Resident 1 on August 27, 2025, at 11:55 a.m. he stated that he had fallen a couple night ago
in his bathroom and agency nurse Licensed Practical Nurse 2 told him that he could lay on the f*****g floor all night. The allegation of abuse by Licensed Practical Nurse 2 was not reported to the Department of Health, the Ombudsman, Protective Services, the resident's representative, or law enforcement.
