2023-10-06Complaint InvestigationNo findings
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation found no evidence of abuse after an allegation that a staff member yelled, cursed, and made threatening arm movements toward a resident. Interviews with the resident, family, staff, and the staff member herself showed conflicting accounts—the resident did not feel threatened, the staff member denied cursing or threatening gestures, and the facility issued a written warning and retraining for discourteous conduct. The Minnesota Department of Health concluded the allegation was not substantiated and took no further action.
Full inspector notes
Finding: Not Substantiated Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The alleged perpetrator (AP) abused the resident when the AP repeatedly yelled, cursed, and her swung arms in front of the resident in an intimidating and threatening manner. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated. While there was conflicting information regarding the interaction and it may have been discourteous, it did not result in abuse. The AP later apologized to the resident who accepted the apology. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted the resident’s family member. The investigation included review of resident records, employee records, the facility’s policies, incident reports, police report and observations of interactions between residents and facility staff. The resident resided in an assisted living facility. The resident’s diagnoses included mild cognitive impairment and congestive heart failure. The resident’s service plan indicated the Page 1 of 3 resident required assistance with medication management, dressing, grooming, and resident required assistive devices for mobility. The resident’s assessment indicated mild memory impairment requiring reminders, but resident was able to communicate effectively and make her needs known. A facility discipline report indicated a police officer notified the facility of a MAARC report made regarding an incident two days prior where the resident was upset after an interaction with the AP. The report indicated the AP was given a written warning and provided additional education on courteous care by facility wellness director. The wellness director stated there were no other incidences of concern for the unlicensed caregiver brought to her attention. The investigation report from the facility nurse indicated the resident reported the AP used a “rough voice” responding to her but did not make threatening body movements. The report also indicated the resident denied feeling threatened during the interaction or unsafe after the incident. When interviewed, the nurse stated she investigated the incident, and the unlicensed caregiver was issued a written warning for inconsiderate care of a resident. When interviewed the AP stated she was working alone during a busy time. She stated the resident was raising her voice and insistent on having her walker brought back to her room. The AP admits feeling rushed and unable to complete the requested task at that time. She admitted to talking to the resident with a loud tone of voice but denied using curse words or swinging arms in a threatening manner. The resident’s family member stated that the resident immediately following the incident was not afraid or threatened by AP, but resident was upset because AP felt her needs were not important and the unlicensed caregiver seemed more concerned with cleaning the dining area. The family member stated the resident relayed to her the AP apologized after the incident and the resident was satisfied. During an interview with the resident, the resident stated she could vaguely remember an incident but could not remember any other details. The resident stated no concerns with staff and felt safe at facility since the incident. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated. “Not Substantiated” means: An investigatory conclusion indicating the preponderance of evidence shows that an act meeting the definition of maltreatment did not occur. Abuse: Minnesota Statutes section 626.5572, subdivision 2. "Abuse" means: (a) An act against a vulnerable adult that constitutes a violation of, an attempt to violate, or aiding and abetting a violation of: (1) assault in the first through fifth degrees as defined in sections 609.221 to 609.224; (2) the use of drugs to injure or facilitate crime as defined in section 609.235; (3) the solicitation, inducement, and promotion of prostitution as defined in section 609.322; Page 2 of 3 and (4) criminal sexual conduct in the first through fifth degrees as defined in sections 609.342 to 609.3451. A violation includes any action that meets the elements of the crime, regardless of whether there is a criminal proceeding or conviction. (b) Conduct which is not an accident or therapeutic conduct as defined in this section, which produces or could reasonably be expected to produce physical pain or injury or emotional distress including, but not limited to, the following: (1) hitting, slapping, kicking, pinching, biting, or corporal punishment of a vulnerable adult; (2) use of repeated or malicious oral, written, or gestured language toward a vulnerable adult or the treatment of a vulnerable adult which would be considered by a reasonable person to be disparaging, derogatory, humiliating, harassing, or threatening.
