Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect residents from Resident 1's
aggressive behavior when facility staff were not able to verbalize Resident 1's care plan for aggression. This
failure resulted in Resident 1 becoming physically aggressive with two residents.
Finding:
On 5/20/25, the Department received a report from the facility that Resident 1 had hit Resident 2 when their
wheelchairs became stuck together while in the hallway.
During an observation on 5/27/25 at 9:44 a.m., Resident 1 was in her wheelchair holding a teddy bear and
a piece of paper in the room where three male residents resided at the end of a hallway. Immediately
outside the door to this room Licensed Nurse A was standing at the treatment cart. Across the hall, a
housekeeping cart was in front of the doorway to a resident room. Resident 3, in her wheelchair,
approached Licensed Nurse A and asked him to move the housekeeping cart so she could enter her room
to use the bathroom. Resident 1 came to the doorway of the room she was in, and Licensed Nurse A asked
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B to move Resident 1 so the housekeeping cart could be moved. A
second CNA (CNA C) came to help, and Licensed Nurse A told her Resident 3 was waiting to get into her
room to use the bathroom. As CNA B pushed Resident 1 past the housekeeping cart, Resident 1 grabbed
onto the handle of the cart and would not let go. Licensed Nurse A, CNA B, and CNA C all tried to get
Resident 1 to release her grip on the cart. Resident 1 finally let go of the housekeeping cart and as CNA B
pushed Resident 1 past CNA C, Resident 1 kicked repeatedly at CNA C's shins. Then, as CNA B pushed
Resident 1 past Resident 3, Resident 1 attempted to kick Resident 3.
On 5/27/25, the Department received a report from the facility that Resident 1 had struck Resident 3 with a
piece of paper as she was passing her in the hallway.
During a record review on 5/27/25 at 1:36 p.m., Resident 1's facesheet indicated an admission date of
11/13/24 and multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disease that destroys
memory and other important mental functions; memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms) and
dementia with behavioral disturbance (changes in behavior and mood that can manifest as various
