During a record review of Resident 1's Physician Discharge Summary, undated, the summary indicated
Resident 1 was discharged to another facility on 2/2/2026 due to attempts to elope (leave the facility without
the staff's knowledge and/or supervision). During an interview on 2/12/2026 at 12:43 PM with Social
Services (SS), SS stated Resident 1 resided at the facility for about two months going in and out of the
facility due to the resident's behaviors and verbally abusive and combative. During an interview and record
review on 2/18/2026 at 12:49 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 1's Change of Condition
(COC, tool used by health care professionals when communicating about critical changes in a resident's
status), dated 12/19/2025 and 1/30/2026 were reviewed. The COC indicated Resident 1 was transferred to
the hospital on [DATE] due to the resident's aggressive behavior. The DON stated Resident 1 had verbal
aggression towards staff, screaming and talking on the phone in the hallways, and verbally aggressive
when medication was given. Resident 1's COC, dated 1/30/2026, indicated Resident 1 was verbally
aggressive and accused staff of stealing the resident's clothes. The DON stated Resident 1 had been
transferred out to the hospital due to the resident's behavior on 12/18/2025 and 1/22/2026. During a
concurrent interview and record review on 2/18/2026 at 3:05 PM with the Registered Nurse Supervisor
(RNS), Resident 1's medical records dated from 12/9/2025 to 2/2/2026 were reviewed. RNS stated
Resident 1 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] and was at low risk for elopement. RNS stated a record
review of Resident 1's COCs and Nursing Notes did not indicate Resident 1 had attempted to elope from
the facility from 1/30/2026 to 2/2/2026. During an interview on 2/18/2026 at 3:27 PM with SS, SS stated
Resident 1 was verbally abusive towards staff and resident. SS stated she noted Resident 1 was getting
aggressive with the CNAs when Resident 1was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. During an interview on
2/18/2026 at 4:24 PM with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated Resident 1 was usually aggressive towards residents and
staff. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 would call all the CNAs derogatory names, and all the staff were aware of
her behavior. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 would have aggressive behavior about three times a week. CNA 1
stated the aggressive behavior would last from morning till the afternoon. CNA 1 stated Resident 1's normal
behavior would be to go to the nurses' station where she would fight with the Licensed Vocational Nurses.
CNA 1 stated, Resident 1 has been having this behavior every day since December of last year (2025).
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/18/2026 at 4:34 PM with the DON, the DON stated
on Physician Discharge Summary, it indicated Resident 1 was discharged due to attempts to elope. The
DON stated the reason for the discharge was for aggressive behavior and not due to attempts to elope. The
DON stated Resident 1's Physician Discharge Summary was inaccurate because the resident did not elope
and the correct reason for the resident's discharge was because of the resident's aggressive behavior.
During an interview on 2/18/2026 at 4:37 PM with the DON, the DON stated sometimes Resident 1 could
be heard screaming at the CNAs and Licensed Nurses. The DON stated Resident 1 especially screamed at
the Licensed Nurses when the licensed nurses were giving Resident 1 her medications. The DON stated
when there was an episode of these behaviors (screaming at staff/ verbal aggression) during a shift, the
licensed nurses should have included a hashmark/ tally for each episode in Resident 1's MAR. The DON
stated Resident 1's aggressive behavior episodes needed to be documented to be aware of the resident's
care and to determine if the medication was helping the resident and to inform the physician so the
physician could determine if the medication needed to be changed and another medication added if
Resident 1 was having continuous episodes. During the same interview and concurrent record review on
2/18/2026 at 4:37 PM with the DON Resident 1's MAR for January 2026 was reviewed. The DON stated
Resident 1's MAR did not indicate there were tally marks/ hashmarks for Resident 1's aggressive behavior
in January. The DON stated Resident 1 did have aggressive behaviors noted by the facility staff on
