any staff and residents involved, then reported immediately to the Administrator, the DON and/or the ADON. In an interview on 10/18/25 at 3:21 PM, CNA-F stated she was in-serviced over the past couple of days regarding abuse and neglect and when and how to report it. She stated if she witnessed abuse or neglect, she would have reported to the ADON, the DON, and the Administrator. CNA-F was also in-serviced on staff burnout and resident rights, and she stated she was a people person and loved what
she did, and yelling at or speaking down to a resident was never appropriate. Record review of the facility's Abuse and Neglect and Resident Rights in-service, dated 10/16/2025, revealed A CNA may be reported for
an act, or acts, in violation of a resident's rights. An act may involve abuse, neglect, and/or misappropriation of the resident's property. CNAs must have a clear understanding of these terms and their definitions. A CNA must also understand that the severity of penalties involved if a violation is reported, investigated, and proven. Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Neglect is the failure to provide goods or services. Patient expectations: In addition, allowing residents the basic rights afforded to them, CNAs must also work to ensure that the environment practices respect, safety, and ensures privacy of each resident. Record review of the facility's Statement of Resident Rights, dated 07/20/2019, revealed you, as a resident, do not give up rights when you enter a nursing facility. The facility must encourage and assist you to fully exercise your rights. Any violation of these rights is against the law. It is against the law for any facility employee to threaten, coerce, intimidate or retaliate against you for exercising your rights. Dignity and Respect: You have
the right to be free from abuse, neglect and exploitation. Record review of the facility's Abuse Prevention Policy, no implementation or revision date noted, revealed Our residents have the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property and exploitation. This includes but is not limited to freedom from corporal punishment, involuntary seclusion, verbal, mental, sexual or physical abuse. As a part of the resident abuse prevention, the administration will: 1. Protect our residents from abuse by anyone including, but not necessarily limited to: facility staff, other residents, consultants, volunteers, staff from other agencies, family members, legal representatives, friends, visitors, or any other individual.
