This failure negatively impacted Resident 1's emotional wellbeing and posed the risk of Resident 1 suffering physical symptoms from verbal abuse.Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse Prevention Program (undated) showed the residents have the right to be free from abuse. Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 2/10/26. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including anxiety disorder and depression. Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 7/29/25, showed Resident 1 had normal cognition and was alert and oriented.

Review of Resident 1's Change in Condition Evaluation dated 2/8/26 at 1845 hours, showed the resident was having increased anxiety related to the altercation with Dietary Aide 1.
