F 0600 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. A review of Resident 1 ' s facility document titled Situation Background, Assessment, Recommendation [SBAR] dated 4/28/25 at 3:15 p.m. indicated, Incident started on 4/28/25, at 3:15 p.m.[Resident 2] (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
