9291 THE COTTAGES AT BRUSHY CREEK 425004 101 COTTAGE CREEK CIRCLE GREER SC 29650 2012-01-17 226 D 1 0 WZUA11 On the day of the complaint inspection based on record review, interview and review of the facility's policy on Abuse, the facility failed to assure their policy was implemented related to the investigation of neglect, and protection of residents. The findings included: The facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of neglect for Resident #1 related to incontinent care. The facility also failed to suspend CNA #2 following the allegation of neglect. During an interview on 1/17/2012 at 5 PM, the Interim Director of Nurses confirmed CNA #2 was not suspended until 12/19/2011 (5 days after the incident) and was suspended for one day. The IDON also confirmed that the allegation of neglect related to incontinent care was not thoroughly investigated and stated that since everything was under CNA #1 nothing else was done. Review of the facility's policy on Abuse and Neglect revealed the following: "Any staff member implicated in an incident where they may have committed abuse or neglect of a guest/elder will be placed on suspension pending the outcome of an investigation." "All elder/family concerns/grievances and occurrences will be investigated and appropriately reported to the appropriate authorities. Events such as but not limited to falls ...are investigated for possible abuse." Cross Refer to F 225 as it relates to the facility's failure to protect residents, thoroughly investigate and report allegations of neglect. 2015-05-01
