V8 said that R1 was upset that R2 had three sons visiting and was inside of the bedroom. R1 started to talk and R2 didn't understand R1 and they started to fight.

V11 said that R2 was tired and wanted to go to sleep and R1 was talking nonstop. R2 got upset and had a fight with R1 and the language barrier between that made it worst. 01/06/2025 on 1:27PM V4 (Social Services Director) said that was not aware of any incident involving R1 and R2 because he was out town on vacation (10/09/2024-10/20/2024) and V3 (Assistant Administrator) and V1 were covering for him during that time. 01/07/2025 at 3:30PM V2 (Director of Nursing) said that R1 and R2 had no previous aggressive behavior and R2 was moved to the first floor and no aggressive behavior was noted for R2.

On 01/07/2025 at 3:35PM V1 (Administrator) presented policy titled: Facility Abuse Prevention Guidance (Revised October 2022), which reads: Policy Statement: This facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and mistreatment of residents. In order to do so, the facility has attempted to establish a resident sensitive and resident secure environment. The purpose of this policy is to assure that the facility is doing all that is within its control to prevent occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff and mistreatment of residents. This will be done by: -Orienting and training employees on how to deal with stress and difficult situations, and how to recognize and report occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of property. -Establishing an environment that promotes resident sensitivity, resident security, and prevention of mistreatment. The facility is committed to protecting our residents from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property and mistreatment by anyone including, but not limited to facility staff, other residents, consultants, volunteers, staff from other agencies providing services to the individual, family members or legal guardians, friends, or any other individuals. Physical Abuse is the infliction of injury on a resident that occurs other than by accidental means and that requires medical attention (77 Ill. Adm. Code 300.330).
