Immediate complaints, and allegations of abuse, neglect, injuries of unknown injury to identify a pattern or isolated Many investigation by responding immediately to protect the alleged victim and provided increased supervision of affected

The facility failed to recognize these instances as abuse, analyze the circumstances of these abusive behaviors, or implement plans for prevention or recurrence of abuse.

Failure to recognize, analyze, and act upon multiple incidents of resident-to-resident altercations as abuse and provide adequate supervision and care planning with effective interventions placed all residents at risk of serious injury or harm and represented an immediate jeopardy (IJ) that was called on 05/20/2025.

Specifically, residents expressed fear when they were subjected to repeat unpredictable outbursts of verbal abuse and actual physical injuries such as coffee thrown on them, grabbing, scratching, slapping, punching, kicking, and skin tears.

Findings included .

Review of the facility policy titled, Discharge Planning Process revised April 2025 showed, the interdisciplinary team (IDT), including the resident and resident advocate, identify the discharge needs of each resident to develop interventions to meet the needs the resident's discharge goals and needs to ensure a smooth and safe transition form the facility to the post-discharge setting.

Discharge planning began at admission ad was based on the resident's assessment, goals for care, desire to be discharged , and the resident's capacity for discharge.

Discharge planning included procedures for determining the resident was discharged to a location that safely met their needs and preferences.

For residents who desired to discharge to a location that was determined to not be feasible, the medical record must contain information about who made the decision and the rationale for the decision.

The policy further showed discharge planning included identifying changes in the resident's condition, which may have an impact on the discharge plan, warranting revision to interventions.

The IDT was to consider caregiver's availability and the resident's or caregiver's capacity and capability to perform required care, as part of the identification of discharge needs process.

The IDT was to timely document basis on the resident needs, and document in the clinical record the evaluation of the resident's discharge needs, the discharge plan, and discussions with the resident and/or the resident's advocate.

Standard precautions were based on the principle that all blood, body fluids and secretions may contain infectious agents, and included the use of hand hygiene, and donning (to put on) personal protective equipment (PPE) to include gowns, gloves, masks and eye protection if exposure could be anticipated, such as by splashes for example.

Contact precautions prevented transmission of organisms spread by direct or indirect contact with the patient or their environment.

Healthcare personnel were to don a gown and gloves when entering a room to care for a resident on contact precautions and discard the PPE before exiting the room.

The CDC 2011 Norovirus Prevention and Control Guidelines for Healthcare Settings retrieved from https://www.cdc.gov/infection-control/hcp/norovirus-guidelines/index.html recommended ill staff be excluded from work for a minimum of 48 hours after the resolution of symptoms.
