Residents Affected - Few
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of five sampled residents (Resident 4) was not
hit by Resident 5.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 4 being punched in the stomach by Resident 5 and had the
potential for Resident 4 to suffer physical or psychosocial harm as a result. This deficient practice had the
potential for other residents in the facility to be subjected to suffer physical abuse.
Findings:
1. During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 4
was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus (DM - a disorder
characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), dementia (a progressive state of
decline in mental abilities), bipolar disorder (sometimes called manic-depressive disorder; mood swings
that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs), and schizophrenia (a
mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought).
During a review of Resident 4 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment
tool) dated 12/10/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 4 ' s cognition (ability to think and reason) was
severely impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 4 did not exhibit any behavioral issues and required
supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching assistance) for all activities
of daily living (ADLs – routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person
performs daily to care for themselves) during the assessment period.
During an interview on 1/16/2025 at 11:22 a.m. with Resident 4, Resident 4 stated Resident 5 had punched
in him the stomach on 1/16/2025 when he was asleep. Resident 4 stated he was scared by being woken up
in his sleep and was unsure why he was attacked.
2. During a review of Resident 5 ' s Face Sheet, the Face Sheet indicated Resident 5 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including encephalopathy (a broad term for any brain disease that alters
brain function or structure), schizophrenia, altered mental status, depression (a mental health condition that
involves prolonged low mood and loss of interest in activities), and cognitive communication deficit
(difficulty in communicating that stems from an impairment in cognitive functions).

During a review of Resident 5 ' s Initial Psychiatric Evaluation dated 12/27/2024, the evaluation indicated
Resident 5 had a history of schizophrenia manifested by paranoia and agitation towards others, with poor

During an interview on 1/16/2025 at 11:46 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated on

stated yes when asking if he attacked Resident 4 but did not answer why he attacked Resident 4.
During an interview on 1/16/2024 at 3:58 p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated
residents should be free from abuse and the facility should do as much as they can to prevent it from
happening. The DON stated Resident 5 ' s behavior could have been more thoroughly analyzed, but she
was surprised Resident 5 attacked Resident 4 since her and her staff have not observed him with any
aggressive behaviors, and if anything, he was very depressed.
During a review of facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Abuse – Prevention, Screening, &
Training Program, revised 7/2018, the P&P indicated the facility does not condone any form of resident
abuse with screening and preventions to promote an environment free from abuse. The P&P indicated the

planning for appropriate interventions and monitoring of residents with needs and behaviors which might
lead to conflict or neglect.
