(R6) was getting up from bed. (V33) was in the hallway and saw (R6) coming towards the door. I asked (R6)
'what is the problem'. (R9) was getting up from bed to go to the bathroom. (R6) was thinking (R9) was
coming to (R6), so (R6) stood up from the bed, and (R9) thought (R6) was coming for (R9). They each
thought the other was coming for them. (R9's) arms were swinging and bumped (R6). (R6) told me (R9)
touched (R6) on the shoulder and in the face. (R9) told me that (R9) was trying to maneuver around (R6) to
go to the toilet. I assessed both of them, separated them, and put them on one-to-one. Because (R6) stated
(R6) was touched in the face, the Medical Doctor ordered for (R6) to be sent to the hospital for evaluation.
(R6) refused. We called the police. They came. (R6) refused to go to the hospital. (R9) was not sent to the
hospital. I observed drainage from (R6's) eyes. R6's Nurses progress note, dated 6/26/25 at 07:27, reads:
Resident had altercation with roommate. Writer observed resident bleeding from left eye. Resident stated
roommate choked resident on the neck. The writer cleaned the resident's bleeding with normal saline and
moved resident to another room. Psych doctor was notified and ordered resident's transfer to hospital for
medical evaluation and send roommate to hospital for psych evaluation. Paramedics came to pick up
resident, but resident refused to go to hospital. Police was called (sic) and came to talk to resident, but
resident also refused. Police acknowledged they will come back whenever the resident change mind (sic).
Currently resident is sleeping, no bleeding at this time and we will continue to monitor. Nurses progress
note, dated 6/26/25 at 16:15, reads: Concerned of resident having difficulty opening eyes with mild
drainage, mild swelling and bruising on left eye likely due to prior incident.R9's Behavior progress note,
dated 6/26/2025 at 03:59, reads: The resident was petitioned to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation
following an altercation with roommate. During the investigation resident was swinging at both roommate
and staff. Resident denied to have (sic) any issue with roommate. Resident refused PRN (as needed)
medication and couldn't be redirected, indicating resident posed a danger to self and others. Due to
unpredictable behavior, a psych evaluation would be beneficial. Paramedics picked up the resident at 3:45
am. Resident was alert with no injury and denied pain or discomfort at the time. Facility policy Abuse
