licensed nurses did not:1. Initiate a care plan that included a recent occurrence of resident-to-resident
abuse for Resident 1 and Resident 2; and,2. Conduct 72-hour monitoring following Resident 3's fall.These
failures had the potential to place Resident 1, Resident 2, and Resident 3 at risk for serious harm, health
deterioration and a loss of quality of life.1.A review of Resident 1's admission Record indicated Resident 1
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with Alzheimer's Disease (a disease characterized by progressive
decline in mental abilities).A review of Resident 1's care plans indicated the following:- On 10/25/24 a care
plan was initiated and indicated Resident 1 had the potential to be physically aggressive related to
dementia (a decline in memory, reasoning, thinking and judgement). Staff were expected to implement
interventions which included monitoring Resident 1 for signs and symptoms of posing a danger to himself
or others. -On 5/19/25 a care plan was initiated and indicated Resident 1 had a behavior problem with
spontaneous short bursts of anger which was evidenced by striking out at other residents. Staff were
expected to intervene as necessary to protect safety and rights of others and to de-escalate when behavior
is triggered.A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a federally mandated assessment tool),
dated 6/2/25, indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- an assessment used to
measure cognition (a person's ability to process information and understanding)) score of 6 which indicated
severe impairment. A review of Resident 2's admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the

10:05 a.m., Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1) stated she witnessed the occurrence between Resident 1 and
Resident 2. She stated Resident 2 was propelling himself down the hallway near the double door entrance
while Resident 1 was standing in the corner by the entrance. As Resident 2 approached the entrance,
Resident 1 grabbed Resident 2's arm, scaring Resident 2. LN 1 immediately separated Resident 1 and
Resident 2. During an interview on 8/26/25 at 12:10 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Director of
Staff Development (DSD) stated that staff should have created or edited care plans for Residents 1 and 2
following their occurrence. The DON and DSD confirmed no care plans were ever created or updated to
