Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
1/07/2025 at 3:00 PM V8 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) said, I witnessed R1 and R2 fighting and R2
said that she had dialysis and was very tired and wanted to sleep but R1 was talking and talking, when R2
threw a cup of water on R1 and scratched her face. 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. It was the only time I have seen R2 getting aggressive and R1 is never aggressive.
Residents Affected - Few
01/07/2025 at 3:33PM V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse) said that R1 called and notified V11 that R2 hit R1's
face with her hand. V11 stated that R1 and R2 were separated and one scratch was noted to R1's left side
of the face. V11 notified supervisor and V1 (Administrator). 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. R2 stayed on the first
floor and returned to the fourth floor on 10/24/2024. V1 and social services were the ones responsible to
evaluate and decide if resident is safe to return to the same unit prior to moving R2 with another resident.
01/07/2025 at 3:35PM V1 sad that R2 moved back to the unit after the interdisciplinary team met and social
service completed an evaluation. Facility completed behavior assessment and monitor for R2's behaviors.
V1 was not able to provide notes of the meeting or social services assessment.
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).
Physical abuse includes hitting, slapping, pinching, kicking, and controlling behavior through corporal
punishment (42 CFR 483.12 Interpretive Guidelines)
