On 1/19/2023 LPA Ivey Canady reviewed Department findings regarding current allegations. The Department findings are based on resident medical and file reviews along with facility incident reports dated 11/18/2022. According to Department file review and facility documentation, neither R1 or R2 have a history of combative or violent tendencies. Based on medical records and medical test findings, R1 sustained no fractures or injuries due to an altercation that occurred on 11/17/2022. Based on review of facility documents, facility staff carried out the appropriate measures and methods in an attempt to intervene the possibility of an altercation. These measures and methods did include separating the residents when the facility recognized the potential for conflict. Based on record reviews and incident reports, although there were attempts by facility staff to intercept a possible altercation, on 11/17/2022, an altercation did subsequently occur on 11/18/2022 that involved one resident attacking/assaulting another.
