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
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from physical
abuse. Resident 1 sustained facial injuries when Resident 2 hit her in the face with a water bottle. Despite
both residents being cognitively impaired, Resident 2's act of hitting Resident 2 in the face was deliberate to
inflict harm or injury, not accidental; therefore her action is deemed as a willful act and considered
abuse.The facility was aware Resident 2 had a history of both physical and verbal behaviors. This failure
has the potential of both physical and emotional harm to all residents.
Findings:
On 3/4/2023, the facility submitted a facsimile (FAX) to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
about an incident between Residents 1 and 2. The FAX showed Resident 2 hit Resident 1 with a water
bottle and Resident 1 sustained redness around her left eye and a small cut on the right side of her nose.
Review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Resident to Resident Altercations (revised date
December 2016) showed facility staff will monitor residents for aggressive/inappropriate behavior towards
other residents Make any necessary changes in the care plan approaches to any or all the involved
individuals; document in the resident ' s clinical record all interventions and their effectiveness and consult
psychiatric services as needed .
Review of the facility's Investigative Summary dated 3/8/2023, showed on 3/4/2023 at approximately 12:45
p.m., Resident 1 entered Resident 2's room to look for something in Resident 2's draw. Resident 2 got
upset apparently hit Resident 1 with a water bottle. Resident 1 was noted to have redness around her left
eye with a small cut on the right side of her nose. Resident 1 was put on every hour monitoring system for
her whereabouts.
1. Clinical record review for Resident 1 was conducted on 6/7/2023. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility
with diagnoses including traumatic subdural hemorrhage (brain injury resulting from a fall) with loss of
consciousness, cognitive communication deficit and adjustment disorder with anxiety. Her Minimum Data
Set (MDS-an assessment tool) dated 2/1/2023, showed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of
3 (severely impaired cognition).
Review of Resident 1's Physician Order dated 2/3/2022, showed an order for a psychiatry and/or
psychology evaluation and treatment as needed.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement individualized,
resident-centered care plans for one of four sampled residents (Resident 2). Resident 2 had a history of
physical aggression. On 3/4/3023, Resident 2 hit Resident 1 with a water bottle in her face. The facility

Review of Resident 2's Care Plan Problems showed:
1. a problem dated 12/28/2022 (revised date 4/20/2023)-potential to demonstrate physical behaviors related
to dementia, cognitive impairment, history of throwing plants, laptops and refusing medications. The goal:
will not harm self or others (initial date 12/28/2022, revised date 3/17/2023). Two interventions:
monitor/document/report to the physician of danger to self and others and Psychiatric/Psychogeriatric
consult as indicated.
2. a problem with an altercation with another resident (dated 3/4/2023, revised date 3/17/2023). The goal:
will have no emotional distress from the incident. Interventions included: monitor every day for 72 hours
whereabouts/activities of involved residents, educate to call for assistance with the staff to help her redirect
the other resident.
3. a problem to address her vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances (initiated 9/15/2022, revised
2/7/2023). The goal: will be able to communicate needs daily. Interventions included: monitor for ability to
chew and swallow, monitor communication skills.
4. a problem to address her impaired cognitive function/thought process (initiated 9/15/2022, revised
2/3/2023). The goal: will be able to communicate basic needs daily.
5. a problem to address the potential/actual demonstration of verbally abusive behaviors towards staff
(initiated 12/28/2022, revised 1/13/2023). The goal: will have fewer than 3 episodes per shift of verbally
abusing staff such as yelling or sudden outbursts of anger. Interventions: assess resident's understanding
of the situation and allow time for her to express her feelings.
6. a problem to address her non-compliance/refusal to wear and identification band (initiated 9/15/2022,
revised 9/15/2022). Interventions included: explain benefits of wearing the name band and risk and
consequences of not wearing it.
Review of the facility's Inservice Records showed:

2. On 3/20-24/2023, Alzheimer/Dementia was given; however, the Lesson Plans were titled Communicating
Effectively with Dementia Residents and Recognizing Symptoms of Dementia and Calming Fears. The
lesson plans did not address handling of aggressive behaviors after the incident on 3/4/2023.
On 6/7/2023 at 1 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON). She
stated Resident 2's behaviors included angry outbursts, and yelling and screaming at staff. When the
ADON was asked was any attempt made to determine possible triggers that may affect Resident 2's
outbursts and yelling, she did not know. The ADON confirmed Resident 2 should be monitored for
aggressive behavior, but was unable to locate the monitoring or care plan problem. When the ADON was
asked about Resident 2's care plan problems and if the goals and/or interventions were compatible with
Resident 2's severely impaired cognition, she did not answer.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with a diagnosis
of dementia (a memory disorder with impaired reasoning skills), received the appropriate treatment and
services to attain or maintain his or her highest practicable, physical, mental and psychosocial well-being
for one of four residents (Resident 2). Resident 2 had an episode of physical aggression with another
resident. The facility failed to have a psychiatrist available at the facility to reevaluate and provide proper
treatment. This deficient practice has the potential to negatively affect the delivery of services for all
residents with a mental disorder.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings:
Clinical record review for Resident 2 was conducted on 6/7/2023. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility
with diagnoses including vascular dementia (changes to memory, thinking and behavior, decline in thinking
skills), severe with other behavioral disturbances, major depressive disorder, and unspecified mood
(affective) disorder.
Review of Resident 2 physician's order dated 9/14/2022 showed an order to have Psychiatry and/or
Psychology evaluation, treatment and follow up as needed.
Review of Resident 2's Psychiatry Diagnostic Interview note dated 11/18/2022 showed Resident 2 was
alert, angry and confused. The staff reported the resident displays angry outbursts which are often difficult
to redirect. The NP documented the staff continued to monitor and document the resident's episodes of
severe agitation, yelling and verbal abuse towards the staff. She documented the resident had aggressive,
and verbal behaviors, was irritable, angry, poor impulse control, insight/judgment. The plan and
recommendations included monitoring for mood and behavior for verbal aggression and anger.
Review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool) dated 2/10/2023, shows a Brief
Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 2 (severely impaired cognition) with inattention and
disorganized thinking.
On 6/7/2023 at 12:15 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Social Service Director (SSD). When the
SSD was asked about the facility's Psychiatrist, he stated the facility did not have any psychiatrist since the
end of 2022, but a new psychiatrist just started in April 2023. The SSD stated the psychiatrist comes to the
facility twice a month; however, she only came twice in April, once in May and currently once in June. When
the SSD was asked if a referral for Resident 2 to be reevaluated by the psychiatrist after her physical
aggressive behavior on 3/4/2023, he stated he did not get a referral from the staff to order one.
An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 6/7/2023 at 12:10 p.m When he was asked about
having a psychiatrist evaluation for Resident 2's aggressive behavior, he stated the facility did not have any
