During the investigation process, it was reported that the resident (Resident 1) notified a staff person that he had been injured by a resident (Resident 2). It was reported that resident 2 suffered from dementia, had never had aggression issues in the past; however, struck resident 1 with a cane several times. It was stated that staff were present in the building; however, were unaware that resident 2 had aggressed on resident 1. The staff immediately assessed the injury, called for emergency services for resident 1 and contacted the police. It was reported that resident 1 suffered numerous lacerations and fractures. There is not enough information to support the allegation of resident 1 sustaining severe injuries while in facility care due to lack of supervision. The occurrence was an isolated incident, and no one had suspected that resident 2 would aggress on resident 1. Therefore, in this matter the allegation is unsubstantiated. Although the above allegation mentioned may have happened, or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred, and the above findings are Unsubstantiated . Licensee or administrator was advised a copy of this report will be sent via certified mail. Two copies of the report will be sent. Licensee or administrator is to sign and return a copy to the Orange County Regional Office.
