Finding: The facility's First [MEDICATION NAME] HealthCare Resident Abuse Prevention Policy & Procedure indicated on page 2, Section 5 Reporting/Response, under letter a. directs that mandated reporters will follow the guidelines in the Department of Human Services, Bureau of Elder and Adult Services (BEAS) publication Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation in Licensed Facilities. They will concurrently report the incident to the Administrator and the Administrator, Adult Protective Services and DHHS Licensing and Certification will be notified immediately of any suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation. The facilities Nursing Facility Reportable Incident Form indicates the incident occurred on 10/14/18 at 12:15 p.m. and the staff member did not report it to her supervisor until 10/15/18 when she came to work at 11:20 a.m. On 1/28/19 at 11:40 a.m. during an interview with the surveyor the Activity Aide, a witness to the incident, stated that Resident #8 was roaming that day and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1 was feeding another resident. Resident #8 went to another table to take their food. Resident #8 was screaming; CNA #1 took him/her by the arm and plunked him/her in the chair forcefully at the table. Resident #8 was screaming and CNA #1 was yelling in his/her face you're not gonna out do me yelling and then CNA #1 held his/her arms down on his/her lap for 2-3 minutes. After a few minutes, Resident #8 settled and CNA #1 went back to feeding but she kept yelling at Resident #8 saying you can't do what you want to do, you can't take people's lunch. This happened on Sunday and I knew CNA #1 wasn't working the next day. I didn't know I should have told anyone. I came in first thing in the morning, on Monday, and told my supervisior. I have been educated and written up for not reporting it sooner and I now know to report it right away, and I will. On 1/28/18 at approximately 2:30 p.m. a.m. a surveyor confirmed during an interview with the Administrator that an allegation of abuse was not immediately reported to supervisory staff which allowed CNA #1 to continue to work with Resident #8 until 2:45 p.m. on 10/14/18. 2020-09-01
