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 prevent resident physical abuse after (R1)
displayed increased agitation and aggression and no interventions were implemented to prevent potential
resident abuse for two (R2 & R3) of 23 residents reviewed for abuse in the sample of 26. These failures
resulted in R1 throwing a walkie talkie at R2's head and R1 physically shoving a trash can in R3's face and
R3 sustaining a bleeding laceration to upper and lower lips. These failures have the potential to affect all 19
residents (R2, R3, R9 through R25) residing in the facility's Dementia unit. These failures resulted in an
Immediate Jeopardy that began on 4/13/25. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 5/13/25, the
facility remains out of compliance at a severity level two. Additional time is needed to monitor the
effectiveness of the implementation of protocols and oversight visits.Findings include:The Facility Abuse,

will: obtain history from medical records, the resident, and as appropriate the resident's family and friends,
regarding mental, psychosocial, and emotional health; monitor closely for expressions or indications of
distress; evaluate whether the resident's distress was attributable to their clinical condition and demonstrate
that the change in behavior was unavoidable; utilize MDS (Minimum Data Set) and care area assessments;
assess and develop a person-centered care plan for concerns identified in the resident's assessment;
share concerns with the interdisciplinary team (IDT) to determine underlying causes of mood and behavior
changes, including differential diagnosis; accurately document the changes, including the frequency of
occurrences and potential triggers in the resident's record; ensure appropriate follow-up assessment, if
needed; discuss potential modifications to the care plan; evaluate resident and care plan routinely to ensure
the approaches are meeting the needs of the resident. The resident, and as appropriate the resident's
family, are included in comprehensive assessment process along with the interdisciplinary team and
outside sources, as indicated. The care plan shall: have interventions that person-centered,
evidenced-based, culturally competent, trauma-informed, and in accordance with professional standards of
practice; provide for meaningful activities which promote engagement and positive, meaningful
relationships; be reviewed and revised as needed, such as when interventions are not effective or when the
resident experiences a change in condition. Facility staff will implement person-centered care approaches
designed to meet the individual goals and needs of each resident, which includes non-pharmacological
interventions.R1's admission record documents R1's date of admission to the facility was 2/22/25 and his

walking R1 to his room when R1 grabbed a handheld radio from nurse's station desk. V22 (CNA) asked R1
to give her the radio and R1 refused continuing to walk down the hall. V22 (CNA) noted R2 sitting in the
hallway and moved her out of R1's way for safety. V22 (CNA) continued to redirect R1 at which time he
threw the handheld radio in the hallway striking R2 in the back of the head. R2 assessed for injury with
none sustained. Report also stated that R1 was sent to emergency room for a psychiatric evaluation. R1
returned to the facility later that evening with no new orders and facility initiated frequent checks with
increase in agitation. No documentation of frequent checks noted in R1's medical record.On 5/7/25, V9
(LPN), V11 (LPN), and V8, V23, and V25 all Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) stated that they were not
educated on increasing supervision on R1 after altercation with R2. On 5/7/25 at 2:12pm, V8 (Certified
Nursing Assistant/CNA) stated, I saw that R1 was agitated and (R1) grabbed a walkie talkie (handheld
radio) off the nurse's station desk. We (V8, V9, V22) tried to get it from R1, but he got more agitated and
kept walking down the hall, so we let him be. Next thing I (V8) know I heard Ow and saw the walkie talkie
(handheld radio) hit R2 in the back of the head. R2 was sitting in her wheelchair by room [ROOM NUMBER]
with her back to R1 who had just gotten by room [ROOM NUMBER]. I (V8) went and got the nurse
(V9/Licensed Practical Nurse) and V9 took over after I told her what I saw. I (V8) had separated R1 from R2
by taking R1 to his room and then I left because my shift was over.On 5/7/25 at 2:15pm, V9 (Licensed
Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, I was working when R1 grabbed the walkie (handheld radio) off my cart by the
nurse's station. R1 was agitated that day. I (V9) did not know what had happened until V8 (CNA) told me R1
had threw the walkie (handheld radio) and it hit R2. I went and assessed R2 and R2 had no visible injuries.
R1 was redirected away from R2. I don't think R1 threw the walkie (handheld radio) at R2 on purpose, I
think R1 threw the walkie (handheld radio) to just get rid of it.On 5/8/25 at 3:30pm, V22 (Certified Nursing
Assistant/CNA) stated, R1 was agitated prior to the incident with R2. R1 grabbed a walkie talkie (handheld
radio) off the nurse's station, and I (V22) tried to get it from him, but he just got more agitated, so the nurse
(V9/Licensed Practical Nurse) told me to leave R1 alone. I (V22) followed R1 down the hallway to redirect
him and noted R2 was sitting in her wheelchair in the way, I moved R2 so R1 could get past to go to his
(R1) room. As R1 went around the corner R1 tossed the walkie talkie (handheld radio) and it hit R2 in the
back of the head. I don't think he (R1) was aiming at R2; I think R1 threw the walkie (handheld radio) to get
rid of it.R1's Health Status note dated 4/17/25, documents, R1 very agitated before supper. R1 was walking
down the hall when this nurse (V9/Licensed Practical Nurse) heard what sounded like trash can being
thrown down the hallway. This nurse went to investigate where noise came from and R1 was standing in
hallway and trash can was sitting on the floor in front of R1. Another resident (R3) was sitting in his
doorway. R1 then came running at this nurse (V9) trying to hit nurse. R1 then turned around and tried to run
after resident (R3) sitting in his doorway. The nurse (V9) then looked at the other resident (R3) and he (R3)
had a bloody lip. The other resident (R3) states that resident (R1) hit him. Resident (R1) was trying to speak
with nurse (V9), but his words were making no sense. This nurse (V9) tried to get resident (R1) to go into
his room to try and calm him (R1) down but very resistive and combative. Not able to redirect. MD (doctor)
notified. Nurse Manager notified and administrator notified. Resident (R1) then sent to (local hospital
emergency department) to eval and treat.R1's abuse investigation, Final Five-Day Report, dated 4/17/25,
documents that R1 and R3 were involved in a physical altercation in the hallway. V9 (Licensed Practical
Nurse/LPN) heard a waste basket tumble across the floor. V9 (LPN) noted R3 sitting in the doorway to his
room and R1 standing a few feet away. R3 had a laceration to his lip and stated R1 hit him. R1 and R3 were
separated. R3 was given first aid and R1 was sent to emergency department for

further evaluation. Report also documents R3 was identified by a witness (V17/R26's spouse) as the
initiator. V17's witness statement documents that R3 yelled at R1 and threw the trash can at R1 when he
was walking toward R3. R1 threw trash can back at R3 and R3 threw it back at R1 again. R1 then picked up
trash can and pushed it into R3's face, open side up, causing injury. Report also documents facility took the
following action: Power of Attorney and Physician notified, R1 sent to emergency department for evaluation
and then transferred to psychiatric hospital for further evaluation and treatment. R1's care plan will be

needs, redirection strategies and monitoring for signs of agitation.On 5/7/25 V9 (LPN), V11 (LPN), and V8,
V23, and V25 all Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) stated that they were not educated on communication,
redirection strategies or monitoring for signs of agitation after altercation with R3. On 5/7/25 at 3:00pm, V9
(Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated R1 became increasingly agitated during a conversation with V9. In
R1's agitated state and without staff member supervision, R1 walked down the hallway out of V9's or any
other staff members' view. V9 then reported hearing what sounded like a trash can hitting the floor and went
to investigate. V9 reports seeing R1 standing in the hallway directly facing R3, who was in the doorway of
his (R3) room. A trash can was noted on the hallway floor. V9 noted bleeding to R3's mouth. R3 reported to
V9 that R1 had hit him with the trash can. V9 stated she felt the altercation was intentional because R1 and
R3 do not seem to like each other, they make rude comments to each other all the time.On 5/8/25 at
3:20pm, V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) stated, R1 and R3 do not like each other, they make rude
comments to each other and I'm surprised that their (R1, R3) rooms are still next to each other after their
altercation.On 5/6/25, 5/7/25, and 5/8/25 tour of the facility conducted. R1 and R3's rooms observed to be
next to each other, R1 in room [ROOM NUMBER] and R3 in room [ROOM NUMBER].On 5/7/25 at 1:30pm,
V11 stated that there are no specific individualized interventions to use for any of the residents on the
dementia unit, we try what we can and utilize our dementia training but that's about it.R1's current care plan
documents a behavior care plan for aggression initiated on 4/29/25, no previous behavior care plan for
aggression in medical record. R3's current plan of care documents, Behaviors: I (R3) demonstrate verbally
abusive behavior when agitated such as use of profanity/demeaning statements; racial, ethnic, religious,
gender slurs; physically abusive behavior when agitated; attempting to push, shove, scratch, hit, slap, kick,
grab, or otherwise harm another person related to ineffective coping skills, poor verbal skills and inability to
express self, and dementia. Interventions include Ask (R3) to calmly explain what is causing this upsetting
behavior; If talking to (R3) is not successful in stopping the behavior, try to take (R3) to a quiet area, away
from other individuals, and intervene by speaking calmly and professionally in a soft tone of voice. Staff
should avoid raising own voice, since this tends to make a resident more upset and may cause the situation
to escalate. R3's current care plan also includes: Behaviors: I (R3) display behavioral symptoms such as
verbal and physical aggression due to dementia diagnosis. 4/17/25: (R3) became physically aggressive with
another resident throwing a trash can at him. Interventions include: 4/17/25: Staff education provided to
monitor for signs of agitation and re-direct away from others if agitation is noted; conduct an evaluation of
the behavioral symptoms to determine what strengths or abilities and needs are communicated via
behavior; use interventions that address the abilities and needs reflected in the specific symptom: (i.e.
rummaging may be an indicator that s/he needs to be busy and work with their hands).On 5/7/25 at
1:41pm, V19 stated she is responsible for aggression assessments when residents are admitted to facility
and then initiates the care plans from that assessment. V19 verified that R1's behavior care plan was not
initiated until 4/29/25 when he returned from inpatient psychiatric
