A current facility policy, titled Indiana Resident Abuse Policy, was provided by the Administrator on 7/23/24 at 10:20 A.M. and stated: This facility will not tolerate abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation of resident, and misappropriation of resident property by anyone .Facility staff must immediately report all such allegations to the Administrator/Abuse Coordinator. The Administrator/Abuse Coordinator will immediately begin an investigation and notify the applicable local and state agencies in accordance with the procedures in this policy The past non-compliance deficiency began on 7/9/24 and deficient practice corrected on 7/11/24 after the facility suspended the 2 employees for not reporting immediately, terminated employment of the employee involved in the incident, reported the incident to local law authorities and IDOH as required. Resident Q was observed for injury and monitored for psychosocial distress related to the incident. On 7/10/24, the facility took steps to identify other residents with the potential to be affected by completing interviews on all interviewable residents, skin assessments on non-interviewable residents, and reviewed 72 hours of documentation on all residents with none exhibiting combative behaviors. There were no negative findings. All staff were educated on the facility abuse policies and caring for residents with combative behaviors on 7/11/24. To ensure ongoing compliance, staff and residents would be interviewed and skin assessments completed on non-interviewable residents weekly x 4 then monthly x 5 to ensure the facility remained free of abuse.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report timely, physical abuse of 1 of 3 residents reviewed for abuse reporting (Resident Q). The deficient practice was corrected on 7/11/24 prior to the start of the survey and was therefore past non-compliance. Findings include: An Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) incident report, submitted by the facility on 7/9/24 at 9:37 p.m., indicated an altercation between a resident and staff member had occurred. The resident had no apparent injury and the staff member was suspended pending investigation. The follow-up report, indicated on 7/9/24 at approximately 8:30 a.m., Employee 2, Employee 3, and Employee 5 had been attempting to reposition the resident due to sliding down and potential for her to fall from the chair.

A quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 7/4/24, indicated the resident had severely impaired cognition. She'd had no behaviors, moods, or signs of delirium. She was dependent on staff for all her ADL's (Activities of Daily Living) except eating which she had done independently. Care plans included: - Revised 7/18/24: The resident displayed behaviors of throwing food at others, striking others during care, when in the hall and dining room, and placed her feet on tables. The goal was for her to be free of behavioral outbursts or unusual behaviors daily. Inventions were: administer medications as ordered; allow resident to vent feelings and thoughts; approach in a calm, relaxed manner; attempt to reduce stressors; and do not place her within reach of other residents. -Revised 7/10/24, the resident had a past history of trauma and abuse.

Employee 2 saw Employee 5 slap Resident Q on her cheek and say something to the resident but didn't hear what she'd said. The resident didn't reacted to the slap on her cheek nor appear distressed. Employee 2 left the area and continued with her job duties. She indicated, as the day went on she thought more about what had occurred. She became uncomfortable, believed what Employee 5 had done was wrong and needed to be reported to the Administrator. After leaving the facility, later in the evening, she contacted the Administrator, told him of the incident, and the incident had occurred that morning (7/9/24). Employee 2 indicated staff should never retaliate by slapping or hitting a resident in response to their behaviors and she regretted not reporting the incident immediately.

The guardian had been appointed to make decisions about her care needs and to ensure the resident's safety. She indicated due to the alleged severe trauma and abuse suffered by the resident, she needed to remain in a safe place where the abusers could not gain access to her. There was a visitor statement, provided to staff, with names and pictures of persons not allowed to visit. If anyone else were to try and visit, they weren't allowed until the guardian was contacted. She indicated she visited the facility at odd times to check on the resident's care and when came in after hours, she would ring the doorbell and just be allowed in despite there being no staff at the front desk or lobby. A family member, not on the visitor list, had recently visited after hours and was let into the facility without being questioned or the guardian notified and she was concerned for the resident's continued safety in the facility. The guardian indicated the resident had been hit by a staff member on 7/9/24 and she hadn't been notified until the following day. She indicated, she was told the staff member had been helping to move the resident up in her chair and the resident hit out at the staff member who then hit the resident back in her face. The resident may have been startled when the staff member had come up behind her to pull her up and in defense, hit out at the staff member due to the type of abuse she'd been through in the past (strangulation). She indicated the resident was mostly non-verbal and at times, would respond with shaking her head yes or no, but her behaviors, at times, were her only way of communicating with others. On 7/23/24 at 1:45 P.M., Resident Q was observed awake and lying in her bed. Her face was observed to be relaxed without signs of distress or discomfort. She smiled and held her hand out as a greeting. She was non-verbal but shook her head yes or no when asked questions.

On 7/23/24 at 3:05 P.M., Nurse 6 and Nurse 7, assigned to care for Resident Q, were interviewed. Both indicated the resident could have visitors and weren't aware of any restrictions. When questioned, Nurse 6 indicated the resident at times, would be combative when staff were providing care. Both indicated they had heard the resident had a history of abuse but weren't aware of what had happened, triggers to prevent re-traumatization, or interventions to put in place when she had behaviors. Neither was aware of the visitor restrictions to prevent the residents abusers from coming in to see her. The care plan didn't indicate what triggers staff should avoid to prevent the resident from being retraumatized, lashing out or approaches to keep the resident safe from persons who abused and traumatized her by screening visitors. On 7/23/24 at 3:45 P.M., the Director of Nursing indicated the facility had no policy specific for trauma informed care but provided a current copy of the facility policy, titled Social Services Policy which stated: The facility provides social services to assure that each resident can attain or maintain his/her highest practicable, physical, mental and/or psychosocial well-being .Social Services will assist in implementing interventions for the resident's needs by developing and maintaining care plans which are individualized, realistic, with measurable goals, including, but not limited to .Trauma, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder .and be Responsible for assessing and ensuring residents who are trauma survivors receive culturally competent, trauma-informed care/approaches including: psychiatric referrals as needed, identifying triggers and implementing approaches/interventions to help reduce risk of retraumatization This tag relates to Complaint IN00439226.
