Findings
On or about July 25, 2021, Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2) neglected Alleged Victim (AV) by wearing long acrylic nails that caused a skin tear on AV's right arm due to AV's having delicate skin for which he/she wore geri-sleeves daily. Based on interviews and facility documentation, the facility had an employee policy in place at time of incident that care staff not wear long nails. AP2's actions caused AV a skin injury which is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to ensure that staff, including AP2, keep their nails short which led to AV's skin injury. The facility failure to provide a safe environment for AV is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
