Plain-language summary

The Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that a caregiver pushed a resident during a toileting assistance incident. The investigation determined that abuse was inconclusive due to insufficient evidence, though staff witnesses reported the caregiver handled the resident forcefully and the resident appeared upset; the resident was not injured and another caregiver took over care. The facility had not provided formal retraining to the caregiver after this incident.

Finding: Inconclusive 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 pushed the resident while trying to take the resident to her room for cares. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was inconclusive. While the AP, who was an unlicensed caregiver, was witnessed interacting with the resident in a discourteous manner, there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate abuse occurred. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed caregivers. The investigator contacted the resident’s family member. The investigation included review of the resident records, incident report, service plan, assessments, related facility policy and procedures, hospital records, and the AP’s file. During an onsite visit, the investigator observed the resident along with staff interactions with the resident. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnosis included dementia. The resident’s service plan included assistance with bathing, dressing when needed, medication administration, assistance with toileting, and reminders to go to meals. The resident at times refused cares and caregivers were directed to reattempt or reapproach to complete the services. The individual abuse prevention plan (IAPP) indicated the resident is unable to make her needs known, could not report abuse, and was susceptible to abuse by others. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident was alert and orientated to self with severe short-term memory and uncooperative with cares. One day the AP was directed by another unlicensed caregiver to toilet the resident as she appeared to be incontinent. The AP followed the direction and was witnessed to have pushed and pulled the resident forcefully when directing the resident to her room for cares. The resident was observed to be visibly shaken and crying so someone else took over her cares. Review of the resident’s progress notes indicated resident is at baseline and did not require a change in her care plan. The resident did not receive any injuries related to the incident. During an interview, unlicensed caregiver #1 stated she was busy at the medication cart and noticed the resident needed incontinence cares because she smelled of urine and the resident had refused to be changed overnight. Caregiver #1 asked AP to take the resident to the bathroom. Caregiver #1 stated she was aware the resident did not particularly care for the AP, but still requested AP to assist the resident. The AP approached the resident, but she refused saying “no, no, no” and the AP began to “push” her down the hallway. During an interview, unlicensed caregiver #2 stated she was near the medication cart, and she heard the AP trying to get the resident to her room, but the resident refused. Caregiver #2 stated both the AP and the resident were becoming upset, so she approached them to intervene. At first the AP wanted to keep trying and pulled the resident by her arm to coax her down the hallway. Caregiver #2 stated the resident looked scared. Caregiver #2 took over the cares and the AP did not provide cares. During an interview, AP stated unlicensed caregiver #1 was working on the medication cart and asked AP to assist resident to her room for toileting because she was incontinent. The AP stated she was aware the resident’s skin was at risk due to frequent incontinence and refusal of cares. AP stated the resident did say no and so she tried to encourage her to come down the hallway verbally. The AP stated she took her by the hand and tried to guide down the hallway, but the resident became upset. Caregiver #2 approached the resident and took over the cares. During an interview, a manager stated caregivers do have a challenging time completing the resident’s activities of daily living and caregivers are trained to either reapproach or ask another staff to attempt to assist the resident. The manager stated unlicensed caregiver #2 did report the concerns along with taking over care of the resident. The manager stated they did not have camera footage of the incident in question. The manager stated formal retraining had not been provided after this incident or prior incidents involving the AP. During an interview, a family member stated when they would visit the resident, she was frequently incontinent. The family member stated they were aware the resident often refused cares, only accepts help when she is ready, and has been this way all her life. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was inconclusive. Inconclusive: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 11. "Inconclusive" means there is less than a preponderance of evidence to show that maltreatment did or 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; 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. Vulnerable Adult interviewed: NA due to cognitive status Family/Responsible Party interviewed: Yes Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: Yes the Action taken by facility: AP no longer is employed at the facility. Action taken by the Minnesota Department of Health: No further action required. cc: The Office of Ombudsman for Long Term Care The Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities PRINTED: 04/15/2024 FORM APPROVED STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION (X3) DATE SURVEY AND PLAN OF CORRECTION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: COMPLETED A.
