Incident #1: Documentation revealed that Resident #1’s (R1) Physician’s Report dated 11/25/2024 lists dementia as the primary diagnosis. The assessment and service plan dated 11/18/2025 indicate that R1 receives assistance with medication management, housekeeping, laundry, and hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, continence care, toileting, transferring, and fall-prevention interventions. The MDS-COGS assessment dated 08/26/2025 scored 6, indicating low-to-moderate impairment. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) dated 09/25/2025 scored 11/30, indicating significant cognitive impairment. S1 has no history of disciplinary action. On 03/02/2026, S1 conducted an in-service training regarding expectations for professional communication with residents, including appropriate approaches when working with individuals living with dementia. The facility’s internal investigation was completed, and S1 returned to work on 03/03/2026.
Interview with the Director of Resident Care Services (DRCS) revealed that A third-party companion reported that R2 stated a staff member had called them “stupid” and repeatedly questioned why they were confused. The facility immediately notified the Executive Director, suspended the staff member, and initiated an investigation. During interviews, the resident stated they did not recall being called “stupid,” though they remembered disliking the staff member’s tone and were unable to identify or describe the individual. A full body assessment on R2 confirmed the resident was safe with no concerns noted. Following interviews with all involved parties, S1 denied the allegation, has no history of misconduct and was reinstated. The resident requested that the S1 not be assigned to them moving forward.
Interview with R1 revealed that they did not recall the incident or being called “stupid.” R1 stated they previously disliked the tone of a staff member but could not recall who the staff member was or what they looked like. Resident interviews indicated that residents feel safe within the community and reported that staff treat and speak to them with respect. Residents reported no concerns regarding the quality of care or staff conduct.
Staff interviews indicated that they have never witnessed nor engaged in disrespectful behavior toward residents, including calling a resident “stupid.” Report Continued on LIC 809C PAGE 3...
