interview and record review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from abuse
(deliberate, aggressive, or violent behavior with the intention to cause harm) for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1), who had a diagnosis of Schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by
disturbances in thought) and mood disorder (a mental health condition that affects a person's emotional
state, causing long periods of sadness, depression, mania, or elation). Resident 1 approached and
physically became aggressive to Resident 2, while Resident 2 rested in bed and was awaken to see
Resident 1 standing over him. As a result, on 11/9/2024, Resident 2 sustained a skin tear on the left ear.

A review of Resident 2's Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a team of health care professionals, which include the
facility's medical director, Director of Nursing (DON), social worker, registered nurse, and other staff as
needed who work together to establish plans of care for residents) Note dated 11/11/2024 indicated on

indicated a situation escalated when Resident 1 approached Resident 2 while lying in bed. The IDT note
indicated that Resident 1 approached and physically became aggressive to Resident 2. The IDT Note

During an interview with CNA 1 on 11/21/24 at 11 AM, CNA 1 stated he was familiar with both residents
and have worked with both residents. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 gets aggravated regarding volume control
on the TVs. Residents tend to leave them loud and fall asleep, which triggers Resident 1.
During an interview on 11/21/24 at 1:30 PM, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 stated that Resident 1 did
indeed have a issue with aggression when things were not done how he liked. LVN 1 explained that there
have been several occasions when Resident 1 would become aggressive with staff if his directions were
not followed. Resident 1 became aggressive when others did not follow the bathing schedule. LVN 1 stated
the charge nurse was notified of this occurrence several times before.
During an interview on 11/21/24 at 1:45 PM, the Administrator (ADM) stated Resident 1 had a history of
wanting to run the show. Resident 1 tends to get upset when he felt people were not listening to him, or he
could not do something he wanted to do. The facility was aware that Resident 1 had many triggers and liked
to control the flow of traffic.
During an interview on 11/21/24 at 2 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) 1 stated Resident 2 was a very nice man,
who gets along with everyone. Resident 1 felt that he should control how things work in the room. If the
slightest occurrence happened and Resident 1 felt provoked, he became aggressive. The RN 1 stated she
was aware of Resident 1's certain triggers that possibly may lead to an altercation.
During an interview on 11/21/24 at 3 PM, the Director of Nursing stated, I am aware of the triggers and
issues that surround Resident 1's behavior. I truly believe that we do not possess the level of care that
Resident 1 needs. We are actively trying to transfer him to a location that is better suited for his needs.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Abuse and Neglect - Clinical Protocol, revised 3/2018,
indicated abuse was defined as the willful infliction of injury, intimidation, or punishment with resulting harm,
pain or mental anguish. Instances of abuse of all residents, irrespective of any mental or physical condition,
cause physical harm, pain or mental anguish.
