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 the resident's rights to be free from
physical abuse for two of three sampled residents (Resident 2 and 3) by failing to protect Residents 2 and 3
from physical abuse. On 11/24/25, Resident 1 was observed by facility staff to be agitated, pacing back and
forth in the room and swinging two metal wheelchair footrests in the air. Facility staff (Certified Nurse
Assistant 1) failed to redirect and remove Resident 1 from the room leaving two other residents (Residents
2 and 3) in the room with Resident 1. As a result, Resident 1 hit Resident 2 several times in the head with
the metal wheelchair footrests while Resident 2 was in bed. Resident 2 sustained severe, multiple
lacerations (a jagged or irregular tear in the skin, often with edges that do not line up, caused by blunt force
or tearing), bruising and severe pain to the face. Resident 3 verbalized fear and frightened for her life as
she witnessed Resident 1 attempt to strike her with the metal footrests. The facility called 9-1-1 emergency
services on 11/24/2025 at 12:08 AM, and Resident 2 was transferred to General Acute Care Hospital
(GACH) 3. In GACH 3, Resident 2 was found to have sustained forehead soft tissue hematoma (collection
of blood outside the blood vessel that forms a swollen area under the skin after an injury) as well as a right
periorbital (around the eye socket) laceration. Resident 2's Computerized Tomography scan (CT scan imaging using x-ray [a photographic or digital image of the internal composition of a part of the body]
technique to create detailed images of the body) indicated there was partial mild irregularity of the right
nasal (internal part of the nose) bone and a questionable right anterior (front) nasal bone fracture (broken
bone). Resident 2 was readmitted back to the facility on [DATE] at 8:15 AM with derma bond (surgical glue)
and steri-strips (sterile, adhesive, porous strips used to close small cuts, lacerations, and surgical incisions)
applied to Resident 2's facial injuries. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's General Acute Care
Hospital Records (GACH) 1 dated 5/21/2025, prior to admission to the facility, the GACH 1 record indicated
Resident 1 was previously admitted to the GACH 1 Emergency Department (ED) due to an altercation with
Family Member (FM) 1, threatening FM 1 with a knife. The GACH 1 ED record indicated Resident 1 was
placed on a 5150 hold (involuntary psychiatric detention) at the GACH 1 for danger to others During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident to the
facility on 5/22/2025, with diagnoses including dementia (a general term for a decline in thinking, memory,
and reasoning skills severe enough to interfere with daily life) with behavioral disturbance (loss of memory
and thinking ability with agitation and physical aggression), psychosis ( loses of touch with reality,
experiencing symptoms like hallucinations (seeing/hearing things not there) and delusions (false beliefs),
along with confused thinking and speech. During a review of Resident 1's care plan initiated on 5/23/2025
indicated Resident [1] has a behavioral symptom manifested by delusions as evidenced by resident saying
the resident hears God's voices all the time, the care plan indicated the care plan goals for

room and observed that Resident 2 had sustained facial injuries after being struck by the metal wheelchair
footrests that Resident 1 had been swinging in the air inside their shared room. During an interview on
12/9/2025 at 11:34 AM with RN 1, RN 1 stated that on 11/24/2025 at approximately 10:30 PM, she was at
Nursing Station 1 when CNA 1 approached after leaving Resident 1's room. CNA 1 reported that Resident
1 was inside her room swinging two metal wheelchair footrests in an aggressive manner. CNA 1 stated she
attempted to calm Resident 1 and remove the footrests but was unsuccessful. Feeling frightened, CNA 1
left the room to seek assistance, leaving Resident 1 unattended with her roommates, Residents 2 and 3.
During the same interview on 12/9/2025 at 11:34 AM with RN 1, RN 1 stated that RN 1, Licensed
Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, and CNA 1 left the Nursing Station to respond to Resident 1's room and heard a
loud scream. Upon arrival, RN 1 observed Resident 1 actively swinging the metal wheelchair footrests in
front of her bed in an agitated state, preventing staff from safely entering the room to assess Resident 2.
RN 1 stated that CNA 2 and CNA 3 removed Resident 1 from the room and restrained her against the
hallway wall using a linen cart. RN 1 instructed LVN 1 to call the attending physician, who ordered Haldol 5
mg IM and Benadryl 25 mg IM for agitation. RN 1 stated that it took approximately 30 to 40 minutes for
Resident 1 to calm down. During that time, Resident 1 remained agitated, pinned against the wall, and
eventually slid to the floor. Once seated, Resident 1 released both metal wheelchair footrests. During
another interview on 12/9/2025 at 12 PM with RN 1, RN 1 stated that when she was finally able to enter
Resident 1's room at approximately 11:10 to 11:20 PM on 11/24/2025, Resident 2 was observed lying in
bed with her face covered in blood. RN 1 stated that Resident 2 sustained a deep, open laceration to the
center of the forehead, two open lacerations above the right eyebrow, an injury to the right cheek, and a
small laceration beneath the right nostril. RN 1 stated she cleaned the wounds and applied steri-strips to
the lacerations on the forehead, above the right eyebrow, the right cheek, and under the right nostril. RN 1
stated she applied a cold compress to the right side of Resident 2's face due to redness and swelling,
administered Tylenol for severe pain, and initiated neurological checks (a quick, systematic way nurses
assess a patient's brain function after a head injury). RN 1 stated Resident 1 was placed on one-to-one
observation (assigning a dedicated staff member to continuously monitor a patient for safety ensuring they
are constantly within sight) at Nursing Station 1. During the same interview on 12/9/2025 at 12:00 PM with
RN 1, RN 1 further stated that CNA 1 should have remained in Resident 1's room, utilized diversion
techniques (a non-pharmacological method used to temporarily shift a patient's focus away from pain,
anxiety, or discomfort by engaging them in other activities), and called out for assistance rather than leaving
Resident 1 unattended with her roommates, Residents 2 and 3, still inside the shared room. RN 1 stated
that CNA 1 leaving the room while Resident 1 was agitated and holding two metal footrests, with Residents
2 and 3 still present, resulted in Resident 2 being struck by the metal wheelchair footrests and sustaining
multiple facial lacerations. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 12:48 PM, CNA 4 stated she had been
previously assigned to care for Residents 1, 2 and 3. CNA 4 stated that Resident 1 was ambulatory (able to
walk), while Residents 2 and 3 were bedbound (unable to leave their beds to walk independently). CNA 4
stated that Resident 2 had severe dementia and limited ability to verbally communicate needs, whereas
Resident 3 was alert and oriented and able to verbally communicate needs, but required moderate
assistance with activities of daily living. CNA 4 reported frequently observing Resident 1 sitting up in bed
talking to herself. CNA 4 further stated that Resident 3 reported witnessing Resident 1 strike Resident 2
with the metal wheelchair footrests on 11/24/2025, prompting Resident 3 to scream for help. During an
interview on 12/9/2025 at 1:30 PM with Resident 3, Resident 3 stated that on the night of 11/24/2025,

metal wheelchair footrests, wave them around the room, and pace (walk at a steady and consistent speed,
especially back and forth and as an expression of one's anxiety) back and forth from the doorway to the
back of the room. Resident 3 stated that CNA 1 entered the room and attempted to remove the metal
footrests from Resident 1's hands but was unsuccessful and then left the room. Resident 3 stated that after
CNA 1 left the room, Resident 1 turned and approached Resident 3, who was lying in bed, and came within
approximately four feet, and attempted to strike her (Resident 3) with the metal footrests. Resident 3 stated
she was able to yell at Resident 1 to leave her alone. Resident 3 stated that Resident 1 then turned toward
Resident 2's bed, who was also in bed. Resident 3 stated she heard the sound of the metal footrests as
Resident 1 struck Resident 2 and screamed for help. Although a privacy curtain obstructed her view of
Resident 2's upper body, Resident 3 observed Resident 1's body movements consistent with striking
Resident 2 and heard the impact. Resident 3 stated she was frightened and feared for her life. Resident 3
stated that Resident 2 was unable to defend herself due to being bedbound. Resident 3 stated that after the
physical assault against Resident 1, a nurse (RN 1) arrived and assisted Resident 2 with her injuries.
During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 2:22 PM with CNA 1, CNA 1 stated that at the start of her shift on
11/24/2025 at approximately 3:30 PM, Resident 1 was observed sitting up in bed and talking to herself.
CNA 1 stated that at approximately 10:30 PM, she observed Resident 1 standing at the entrance of her
shared room, swinging two metal wheelchair footrests-one in each hand-in a crosswise back-and-forth
motion. CNA 1 stated she approached Resident 1 and attempted verbal redirection, however, Resident 1
was not redirectable and swung the footrests toward CNA 1, nearly striking her. CNA 1 stated Resident 1
appeared highly agitated and had an intense facial expression. CNA 1 stated she left Resident 1's room
and walked to Nursing Station 1, located down the hallway and notified RN 1 and LVN 1. CNA 1 stated that
other CNAs (CNA 2 and CNA 3) responded and were able to remove Resident 1 from the room and
restrain her against the hallway wall until Resident 1 slid to a seated position on the floor and released the
wheelchair footrests from her hands. During the same interview on 12/9/2025 at 2:22 PM with CNA 1, CNA
1 stated that she entered Resident 1's room with RN 1 at approximately 11:30 PM (after Resident 1 calmed
down) and observed Resident 2 lying in bed with her face covered in blood. CNA 1 stated that Resident 1
was then taken to Nursing Station 1 for observation. CNA 1 acknowledged that she should have remained
in the room, called out for assistance, and maintained oversight of Resident 1. CNA 1 stated she left

that when she left the room, Residents 2 and 3 were left alone at-risk form harm due to Resident 1's
agitated state and possession of a dangerous object. CNA 1 stated that she should have remained in the
room and yelled for help instead. CNA 1 also stated that licensed nursing staff typically overhead page for
assistance when incidents like these (agitated resident in possession of a dangerous object) happens,
which did not occur in this situation. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 3:15 PM with the Director of Staff
Development (DSD), the DSD stated that staff had received education regarding abuse, including physical
abuse and resident-to-resident altercations. During a concurrent review of the facility's Abuse Policy with
the DSD, the DSD stated that the policy required staff to understand resident behaviors and symptoms that
increase the risk for abuse and how to respond. However, the DSD stated that the facility's Abuse Policy did
not provide specific guidance on how staff should respond to an agitated resident in possession of a
dangerous object or how to prevent harm to residents and staff. The DSD stated that the facility did not
have a designated code alert for an agitated resident with a dangerous object, although staff could use
overhead paging to request

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide medically related social services for one of three
sampled residents (Resident 3) by not ensuring the resident attained or maintained his/her highest
practicable physical, mental, or psychosocial well-being. Specifically, facility staff did not identify or address
factors negatively affecting Resident 3's psychosocial functioning after the resident witnessed and was
exposed to a violent incident (physical abuse) involving another resident (Residents 1 and 2). No nursing or
facility staff checked or followed up on Resident 3 following the incident. This deficient practice had the
potential to result in long-term psychosocial harm as resident 3 verbalized experiencing fear, anxiety, and
emotional distress after witnessing and being threatened during a violent incident. These deficiencies may
further lead to depression and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, thereby reducing
Resident 3's sense of security and quality of life. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's admission
Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident to the facility on 5/22/2025, with diagnoses
including dementia (a general term for a decline in thinking, memory, and reasoning skills severe enough to
interfere with daily life) with behavioral disturbance (loss of memory and thinking ability with agitation and
physical aggression), psychosis ( loses of touch with reality, experiencing symptoms like hallucinations
(seeing/hearing things not there) and delusions (false beliefs), along with confused thinking and speech.
During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P) dated 5/24/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1
did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. The H&P indicated Resident 1 came from
GACH 1 for altered mentation, metabolic encephalopathy and dementia. ? During a review of Resident 1's
Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 8/26/2025, the MDS
indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment (problems with a person's ability to think, learn,
remember, use judgement, and make decisions). MDS indicated that Resident 1 was partial/moderate
assistance for activities of daily living (basic self-care tasks). The MDS further indicated that Resident 1 was
able to walk 50 feet with two turns with partial/moderate assistance.?The MDS further indicated Resident 1
manifested wandering behavior and behavioral symptoms not directed towards (MDS examples indicated
physical symptoms such as hitting or scratching self, pacing, rummaging, public sexual acts, disrobing in
public, throwing or smearing food or bodily wastes or verbal/vocal symptoms like screaming, disruptive
sounds). ? During a review of Resident 3's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on
6/3/2024, with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar levels) and anxiety disorder (experiencing
excessive worry and fear). During a review of Resident 3's H&P dated 11/27/2025, the H&P indicated
Resident 3 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 3's
MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated the Resident 3 cognition was moderately impaired. The MDS
indicated that Resident 3 toileting hygiene required substantial/maximal assistance. The MDS indicated that
Resident 3 was partial/moderate assistance for lying and sitting on the side of the bed, sit to stand and
chair/bed to chair transfer. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Notes dated 11/24/2025 documented
at 10:40 PM, the Note indicated an incident happened around 10:30 PM when the [CNA 1] informed
[Registered Nurse (RN) 1] that Resident 1 was playing with a wheelchair's metal footrests. The Notes
indicated [CNA 1] tried to calm [Resident 1] down and get the wheelchair footrests from [Resident 1], but

afterward, nursing staff heard screams coming from the shared bedroom. Staff entered the room and
observed Resident 2 with severe laceration on her forehead. According to the report, LVN 1 called 911, and
Resident 2 was transported to GACH 3 for treatment. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 11 AM with the
Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that on 11/24/2025, Resident 1 was in an agitated state and
was swinging two metal wheelchair footrests inside their (Residents 1, 2, and 3) room. According to the
DON, CNA 1 witnessed Resident 1 swinging the dangerous metal object but was unable to remove the
wheelchair footrests from Resident 1's hands. CNA 1 left the room to go to Nursing Station 1 to seek
assistance. The DON stated that RN 1 and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 were on their way to
Resident 1's room when they heard residents screaming. The DON stated while other staff (CNAs 2 and 3)

an interview on 12/9/2025 at 12:48 PM with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA 4), CNA 4 stated that
Resident 1 was ambulatory and that her roommate Resident 3 was a bedbound resident and that was
vulnerable. CNA 4 stated that Resident 3 was alert, orientated and required full assistance for Activities of
Daily Living care (helping residents with essential self-care tasks they can't do alone, like?eating, bathing,
dressing, using the toilet, grooming, and moving around). CNA 4 stated that she had observed Resident 1
sitting up in bed and having a conversation with herself on 11/24/2025 at the start of her shift at 3:30 PM.
CNA 4 stated that Resident 1 had thrown a cup of water at staff a few times when she got upset. CNA 4
stated that Resident 3 had told her she had witnessed Resident 1 in an agitated state and was pacing back
and forth inside their room. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 1:30 PM with Resident 3, Resident 3 stated
that on the night of 11/24/2025, Resident 1 was in an agitated state and threw a cup of water from her
bedside table. Resident 3 reported witnessing Resident 1 grab two metal wheelchair footrests, wave them
around the room, and pace (walk at a steady and consistent speed, especially back and forth and as an
expression of one's anxiety) back and forth from the doorway to the back of the room. Resident 3 stated
that CNA 1 entered the room and attempted to remove the metal footrests from Resident 1's hands but was
unsuccessful and then left the room. Resident 3 stated that after CNA 1 left the room, Resident 1 turned
and approached Resident 3, who was lying in bed, and came within approximately four feet, and attempted
to strike her (Resident 3) with the metal footrests. Resident 3 stated she was able to yell at Resident 1 to
leave her alone. Resident 3 stated that Resident 1 then turned toward Resident 2's bed, who was also in
bed. Resident 3 stated she heard the sound of the metal footrests as Resident 1 struck Resident 2 and
screamed for help. Although a privacy curtain obstructed her view of Resident 2's upper body, Resident 3
observed Resident 1's body movements consistent with striking Resident 2 and heard the impact. Resident
3 stated she was frightened and feared for her life because she did not want to get hit with the wheelchair
footrests. Resident 3 stated that Resident 2 was unable to defend herself due to being bedbound. Resident
3 stated that after the physical assault against Resident 2, a nurse (RN 1) arrived and assisted Resident 2
with her injuries. Resident 3 stated that none of nurses or facility staff came to check up on her. Resident 3
stated that she was afraid that Resident 1 would return back to their room. During an interview on
12/9/2025 at 4:00 PM with Registered Nurse (RN 1), RN 1 stated she was unaware that Resident 3 had
also been confronted by Resident 1. RN 1 reported she did not know Resident 3 had been threatened by
Resident 1 on 11/24/2025 with the metal wheelchair footrests. RN 1 acknowledged she had forgotten to
check on Resident 3's well-being. RN 1 further stated she should have assessed Resident 3 for emotional
trauma or distress resulting from witnessing the violent incident and fearing injury from Resident 1. RN 1
also stated she should have notified the facility's Social Services Designee (SSD) to follow up and check on
Resident 3. During an interview on 12/9/2025 at 4:10 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON
stated she was unaware that Resident 3 had been emotionally traumatized by Resident 1's aggressive
behavior when attempting to attack her with the metal wheelchair footrests. The DON stated that RN 1
should have assessed Resident 3's psychosocial well-being. The DON further stated that Resident 3 might
be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety. The DON acknowledged that the Social
Services Designee (SSD) should have assessed Resident 3 for psychosocial distress. During a review of
