Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 41449 potential for actual harm Based on resident interview, staff interview, clinical record review, and facility documentation review, the Residents Affected - Many facility staff failed to effectively administer the facility to ensure residents are free from abuse and fully implement their abuse policy, having the potential to affect residents on 2 of 3 nursing units.

The findings included:

1. For Residents #8, who suffered psychosocial harm, the facility administrator, who is the facility's abuse coordinator and was aware of Resident R16's on-going behaviors resulting in mental abuse, verbal abuse, and sexual abuse, failed to implement effective corrective measures to protect all the residents sharing the same common areas with Resident #16, who was the alleged perpetrator.

the surveyor and facility administrator that Resident #16 (Resident R16) had told Resident R8 to Suck my di*k. Resident R8 went on to state that she had been molested three times in the past and I just can't handle this. The administrator was observed making notes during this interview.

Have you ever felt numb or detached from people, activities, or your surroundings? According to the screening form Resident R8 was asked, What if any mental health treatment have you had in the past? Resident R8's response was recorded as, I see a doctor. However, no triggers were identified or interventions to implement trauma informed care, as well no recent psych services to support Resident R8's mental health needs.

According to Resident R8's nursing progress notes, multiple entries were noted that documented that Resident R8 had been a victim of abuse by Resident R16. On 6/10/23 at 8:20 p.m., an entry was noted in Resident R16's chart that documented that it took three persons to restrain Resident R16 from physically attacking Resident R8, while cursing and threatening to kill her.
