***report continues from LIC9099*** On 6/10/24 R1 became argumentative with another resident (R3) wanting to take her snack. Staff intervened and R1 was redirected. However, another resident (R2) called 911, police arrived and R1 was taken to Summit Hospital and subsequently transferred to John George Psychiatric Hospital where he remains as of today. Doctors at John George are adjusting R1’s medications to lessen his anxiety and combativeness. S1 stated that the residents at the facility were never in any danger due to R1’s behaviors and that staff took appropriate action to redirect R1 to ensure the safety of the other residents. LPAs interviewed R2. R2 stated that she feared for the safety of the other residents and was unaware that staff were redirecting R1 to unsure the safety of the other residents. R2 also stated that she felt R1 was a “bad person” and should be living at the facility. LPAs interviewed R3.
