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.
