Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect one resident (Resident 1) of three
sampled residents from physical abuse by Resident 2, when Resident 2 deliberately placed his hands on
Resident 1 ' s chest and pushed him which caused Resident 1 to fall during an argument over a television
(TV) channel inside their room. This failure resulted in a skin tear (a wound caused by direct force which
separates the skin ' s layers) and an abrasion (a scrape) on Resident 1 ' s left forearm.
Findings:
A review of Resident 3 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS- an assessment tool used by facilities to screen and
identify memory, orientation, and judgement status of the resident) dated 3/1/25, indicated a Brief Interview
for Mental Status (BIMS- a screening tool used to assess a person ' s memory and cognition (ability to
think, understand, remember, and problem-solve)) score of 15, which meant his cognition was intact.
A review of Resident 2 ' s MDS dated [DATE], indicated his BIMS score was 13, meaning his cognition was
moderately (an observable delay) intact.
A review of Resident 1 ' s MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident 1 ' s BIMS score was 10, meaning his
cognition was moderately impaired (diminished).
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/2/25 at 10 a.m. Resident 2 was sitting in his room
watching TV. Resident 2 stated Resident 1 changed the channel of Resident 2 ' s television using Resident
1 ' s TV remote control. Resident 2 stated he pushed Resident 1 by placing both his hands on Resident 1 '
s chest to push him. Resident 2 stated Resident 1 fell on the floor. Resident 2 stated there were no staff in
the room during that time, but Resident 3 was also in the room.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/2/25 at 11 a.m., with Resident 1 and Resident 3,
Resident 1 showed the Surveyor the island dressing (a highly absorbent layer with an adhesive border)
located on his left forearm which measured 2 centimeters (cm- a unit of measure) by 2 cm. Resident 1
stated Resident 2 placed both his hands on his chest and pushed him, causing him to fall. Resident 1
pointed to the part of his bed where he hit his left forearm. Resident 3 stated each resident ' s TV remote
controlled all three TV sets in the room. The Surveyor observed Resident 3 use his remote to change the
channel of his TV which also changed the channel of Resident 2 ' s television.

[SBAR] dated 4/28/25 at 3:15 p.m. indicated, Incident started on 4/28/25, at 3:15 p.m.[Resident 2]
