Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Brightmoor Nursing Center, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents with severe cognitive deficits were involved in an incident in which one resident, diagnosed with non-traumatic brain dysfunction and dementia, placed a pillow over the face of another resident with CAD, HTN, BPH, hyponatremia, and hyperlipidemia. The facility’s investigation and interviews with the DON and Administrator/Abuse Coordinator confirmed this as substantiated resident-to-resident abuse, in violation of the facility’s abuse, neglect, and exploitation policy that is intended to preserve each individual’s right to be free from mistreatment and abuse.
A resident with a history of behavioral issues and moderate cognitive impairment repeatedly used foul and threatening language, including a death threat, toward his cognitively intact roommate. Despite attempts by a CNA and an LPN to redirect the abusive resident, the interventions were unsuccessful, resulting in the roommate feeling uncomfortable and requesting a room change. The incident was reported to social services, and an involuntary mental health evaluation was initiated for the abusive resident.
Two residents were involved in a verbal abuse incident where one resident, with moderate cognitive impairment, threatened and used foul language toward his roommate. Staff attempted to intervene and separate the residents, and a mental health evaluation was initiated for the aggressive resident. However, the Social Service Director did not follow the facility's abuse investigation policy, failed to notify authorities, and did not document or conduct a thorough investigation, resulting in a deficiency.
Resident-to-Resident Abuse Involving Pillow Over Face
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from abuse when one cognitively impaired resident placed a pillow over the face of another cognitively impaired resident. The resident identified as the victim, R6, had been admitted with diagnoses including coronary artery disease, hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia, hyponatremia, and hyperlipidemia, and had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of three, indicating a severe cognitive deficit. The resident identified as the aggressor, R5, had been admitted with non-traumatic brain dysfunction and dementia and also had a BIMS score of three, indicating a severe cognitive deficit. During the incident on 1/6/2026, R5 placed a pillow over R6’s face. The facility’s own investigation documented that the act of placing the pillow over R6’s face occurred and was substantiated as resident-to-resident abuse. The facility’s policy titled “Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation” states that its intent is to actively preserve each individual’s right to be free from mistreatment, neglect, abuse, or misappropriation of resident property. Interviews with the DON and the Administrator/Abuse Coordinator confirmed that the incident between R5 and R6 met the definition of abuse under facility policy and that resident-to-resident abuse was confirmed. This sequence of events demonstrates that the facility did not ensure that R6 was free from abuse as required by its policy and regulatory standards.
Failure to Protect Resident from Verbal Abuse by Roommate
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident with a history of behavioral issues, including yelling and making inappropriate comments, verbally abused his roommate. The abusive resident, who had moderate cognitive impairment and a documented risk for behaviors, repeatedly used foul and threatening language toward his roommate, including a threat to kill him. Staff members, including a CNA and an LPN, attempted to redirect the abusive resident without success. The roommate, who was cognitively intact and had diagnoses including anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder, reported feeling very uncomfortable and requested a room change due to the repeated verbal abuse. The facility's policy prohibits all forms of abuse, including verbal abuse, and requires interventions to protect residents' rights and safety. Despite these policies and the known behavioral risks of the abusive resident, staff were unable to prevent the verbal abuse or effectively intervene to stop the threatening behavior. The situation escalated to the point where the abusive resident admitted to making threats, and staff initiated an involuntary mental health evaluation. The incident was reported to social services, but the initial staff interventions were unsuccessful in protecting the resident from verbal abuse.
Failure to Investigate Resident-to-Resident Abuse Allegation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough and timely investigation following an allegation of resident-to-resident verbal abuse involving two residents. One resident, with little to no cognitive impairment, reported feeling uncomfortable and requested a room change after his roommate repeatedly used foul language towards him. Progress notes indicated that the other resident, who had moderate cognitive impairment and a history of restlessness and agitation, was observed rummaging through his roommate's belongings and made threatening statements, including a threat to kill his roommate. Staff attempted to redirect the aggressive resident without success, and the residents were separated. A mental health evaluation was initiated for the aggressive resident. Despite the seriousness of the incident, the Social Service Director (SSD) did not follow the facility's abuse investigation policy. The SSD acknowledged being informed of the threat and attempted to de-escalate the situation but did not contact law enforcement or the Ombudsman, and failed to document interviews or conduct further investigative tasks. Other staff, including an LPN, witnessed the incident but did not provide additional documentation. The Director of Nursing and Administrator confirmed that proper reporting and investigative procedures were not followed, and no investigation file could be located for the incident.
