F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, 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 ensure residents were free from mental abuse for 3 of 8 residents (R2, R3, R6) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 14. This failure resulted in R2 feeling fearful of R1 and socially isolating due to R1's threats against him. This failure resulted in R6 suffering mental anguish related to R1's threats to physically harm and kill R6. This failure resulted in R3 being fearful of physical and mental retaliation from R1. These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 3/17/25 when R2 reported to V1 Administrator that sometime late February (2025) R1 had threatened to kill him. These failures resulted in R2, R3, and R6 experiencing psychosocial harm. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 3/31/25. V1 Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 3/31/25. This surveyor confirmed by observation, interview and record review the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 3/31/25 however, noncompliance remains at a Level 2 because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training. The findings include: An initial facility abuse investigation report dated 3/17/25 showed R2 reported to V1 Administrator that R1 had threatened to kill and strangle him if R2 told facility staff that R1 had sold R2 marijuana. The final facility abuse investigation report dated 3/24/25 showed, on 3/18/25, R6 reported to V1 Administrator that R1 had offered R6 drugs in the facility. When R6 refused the drugs from R1, R1 became angry and told R6 that he would knock out his teeth if R6 reported to anyone that R1 had offered him drugs. R6 stated R1 threatened to break R6's neck and throw you out the window to make it look like a suicide. Per the report, R6 stated, on another occasion, R1 came into R6's room and told R6, I will kill you if you snitch on me. I have no one to lose. I will kill you and make it look like you are having a seizure. The final facility abuse investigation report showed, on 3/18/25, R3 reported to V1 Administrator that he too was afraid of R1. R3 stated R1 hid alcohol bottles in R3's room. R3 stated R1 is very threatening and intimidating. I don't want to be here if he is here. Once he threatened to beat me . I am terrified and want to be left alone . He (R1) knows a lot of people on the street, if he finds out I can get killed easily. The report showed R3 was visibly shaking, when speaking about R1, to V1 Administrator on 3/18/25. The facility's final abuse investigation report dated 3/24/25 showed abuse was substantiated related to the actions of R1. A police report was filed. R1's admission Record showed R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] for rehabilitation therapy (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

He becomes verbally aggressive. Staff are afraid he will hit them if they try to enforce the rules. I worry that (R1) will attack me or other staff . I don't feel comfortable with (R1) and he intimidates me. The dilemma is that we don't know what to do with him when he acts out other than call the police .

(R2) reported to me that he immediately felt uncomfortable and walked back out of his room. I think he was a little fearful when he saw (R1) in his room. Since his return from the hospital, we try to monitor where (R1) is at when he is in the building but he goes where he wants. We have tried to revoke (R1's) community pass privileges due to his behaviors but he doesn't care. He feels like he's above the rules and leaves anyway.

R6 stated, One night, when he (R1) wasn't sober, he came into my room and threatened to break my neck and throw me out a window.

Many residents are afraid of him. He has power and no one can stop him. He is big and intimidates people . It would be better if he left and never came back.
