**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to report and investigate a
resident-to-resident altercation to the State Survey Agency in accordance with the state law established
procedures for two of five sampled residents (Residents 1 and 4). * Resident 1 stated a male resident
(Resident 4) walked into her room unsupervised, screamed and threatened her. The incident was not
reported to the appropriate parties (CDPH, the Ombudsman, the residents' responsible parties, the MD and
the police department) nor was an investigation initiated. This failure had the potential to negatively impact
the well-being of the resident of the facility. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse Prevention
and Management revised 5/2024 showed the facility will report all allegation of abuse, and criminal activity
as required by law and regulations to the appropriate agencies. The P&P also stated to address the health,
safety, welfare, dignity and respect of residents, the reports of resident abuse, mistreatment, neglect,
exploitation, injuries of an unknown source, and any suspicion of crimes are promptly reported and
thoroughly investigated. Review of the facility's P&P titled Unusual Occurrence Reporting revised 5/2024
showed the facility will follow all applicable, state and federal laws and regulations regarding the reporting of
unusual occurrences. On 8/16/25 at 0930 hours, the CDPH L&C Program received a complaint alleging
Resident 1 stated a male resident walked into her room unsupervised on 8/16/25. Resident 1 alleged the
male resident screamed and threatened her, making her feel very unsafe. Resident 1 called her family
member to pick her up and take her home. On 8/29/25 at 0638 hours, an interview was conducted with RN
1. RN 1 stated Residents 1 and 3 were roommates. RN 1 further stated Resident 3's Family Member
informed him Resident 4 wandered to Residents 1 and 3's bedroom. RN 1 stated Resident 1 did not feel
comfortable and went home that evening. a. Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on
8/29/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and discharged on the same day. Resident 1
was alert, and oriented to time, place and persons by the admitting nurse. Review of Resident 1's medical
record failed to show documented evidence of the incident. In addition, there was no documentation the
incident was reported to the CDPH, Ombudsman, residents' responsible parties, MD, and the police
department were notified. b. Medical record review for Resident 4 was initiated on 8/29/25. Resident 4 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 4's MDS assessment dated [DATE], showed a BIMS
score of 3 (meaning severe cognitive impairment.) Further review of Resident 4's medical record failed to
show documented evidence of the incident with Resident 1. There was no documentation of the resident's
wandering episode and verbal outbursts towards Resident 1 on 8/16/25. On 8/29/25 at 0824 hours, an
interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with RN 2. RN 2 stated she witnessed
Resident 4 enter Resident 1's room. RN 2 stated she redirected and reoriented Resident 4 out of the room.

wandering episode to Resident 1's room. RN 2 verified, there was no written documentation of the incident
in either Residents 1 and 4's medical records to address Resident 4's wandering behavior to Resident 1's
room and Resident 1's response to Resident 4's wandering to her room. RN 2 verified she should have
documented the incident. On 8/29/25 at 1101 hours, a telephone interview was conducted with Resident 1.
Resident 1 stated on the day of admission, 8/16/25, a man in a wheelchair (later identified as Resident 4)
suddenly entered her room, yelled and screamed toward Resident 1's direction. Resident 1 stated Resident
4 was screaming I'm gonna kill someone. she's raping my wife and what is she doing here. Resident 1
stated a nurse immediately entered and redirected the resident back to his room. However, Resident 4
reportedly returned to Resident 1's room three times in 20 minutes, toppled over the overbed table by
Resident 1's bedside and continued to scream at Resident 1. Resident 1 further stated I was shaking and
hysterically crying. Resident 1 stated she didn't trust the facility when she was offered another room by
nurse. Resident 1 further stated Resident 3's Family Member assisted the staff in removing Resident 4 out
of the room. Resident 1 decided to discharge from the facility AMA that same evening. On 8/29/25 at 1142
hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review for Resident 1 was conducted with the MDS
Coordinator. The MDS Coordinator verified the resident-to-resident altercation on 8/16/25, was not
documented, nor was there an incident report. On 8/29/25 at 1215 hours, an interview was conducted with
Resident 3 and Family Member 1. Resident 3 and Family Member 1 stated Resident 4 came into their room
in his wheelchair and yelled I wanna kill somebody. Resident 3 stated it was very frightening. Family
Member 1 stated Resident 4 came back a second and third time to get into Resident 1's bed. Resident 4
kept screaming I wanna kill somebody. Resident 3 stated Resident 1 was freaking out, scared to death,
crying and decided to discharge AMA. Family Member 1 stated he assisted the staff in removing Resident 4
from their room. On 8/29/25 at 1230 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was
conducted with the Administrator. The Administrator stated he received a call on 8/16/25, from RN 2
reporting Resident 1 requested to be discharged AMA, and Resident 4 wandered to Resident 1's room. The
Administrator stated he was not aware Resident 4 was difficult to redirect and was screaming at Resident 1.
The Administrator stated if he knew the incident was serious, he would have investigated it. The
Administrator verified the resident-to-resident altercation was not investigated nor reported to the CDPH
L&C Program.
