Inspectors wroteBased on record reviews and interviews conducted during an abbreviated survey (NY00369342) the facility did not ensure that one of three residents (Resident #1) was free from abuse. Specifically, Certified Nurse Assistant #1 with Registered Nurse #1 were in the shower room giving Resident #1 a shower in a shower bed. Resident #1 kicked towards Certified Nurse Assistant #1 and Certified Nurse Assistant #1 smacked Resident #1's upper right leg with an open hand to push Resident #1's leg away from their body. Registered Nurse #1 was startled by the action and immediately called the supervisor to report what had happened.
- D Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities.

Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments). Registered nurses include the director of nursing and RNs with administrative duties; aides include nurse aides in training and medication aides, as in CMS's own staffing measure. How these are calculated.
Trains nurse aides: this home runs a state-approved CNA program for its own hires (state list: NYS DOH Nurse Aide Training Programs (nursing homes), as of October 1, 2026). A nursing home cannot charge aides it employs, or has offered a job, for state-approved training (42 CFR 483.152(c)).
