**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** > Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to report an allegation of neglect timely and accurately for 1 of 3 sampled residents reviewed. Resident #1 with allegations that a certified nursing aide would not take him/her to the bathroom and rolled a wheelchair over the resident's foot was not reported timely. The findings included: The facility admitted Resident #1 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the facility's reportable incidents on 8/14/17 at approximately 2:30 PM revealed Resident #1's family member made an allegation that a certified nursing aide did not take the resident to the bathroom upon request. The incident allegedly occurred on 4/28/17 and was documented as a grievance until the facility reported the incident as an allegation of neglect on 5/25/17. Reviewing the facility's investigation of the 4/28/17 incident revealed another grievance written on 5/05/17 which indicated that Resident #1 reported the same certified nursing aide for rolling a wheelchair over his/her foot that was not reported timely. Further review of the facility's reportable's revealed the facility failed to ensure that the fax machine used to report the incidents had the correct time stamp to verify when the fax was sent. The facility was noted to have documented allegations of resident neglect as a grievance rather than an allegation of abuse/neglect. An interview on 8/14/17 at approximately 2:45 PM with the Administrator confirmed the finding that the incident was not reported timely and the resident accused the same certified nursing aide who would not take him/her to the toilet of rolling a wheelchair over his/her foot. The Administrator reported that he/she thought the accused certified nursing aide was reassigned from working with Resident #1 since the 4/28/17 incident. The Administrator stated that he/she later discovered that the certified nursing aide continued to work with the resident after the 4/28/17 incident which was overlooked by the facility. The Administrator further confirmed that the facility did not look at the time stamp of the facility's fax machine to ensure accuracy of the date and time a fax was sent. |
