**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a resident (R1) remains free from verbal
abuse/assault from another resident (R3) and failed to follow their abuse policy. These failures caused
psychosocial harm as evidenced by R1 feeling sad, nervous, scared, wanting to isolate self from
community and not always feeling safe in facility's common areas due to R3's continuous verbal
abuse/assault and despite R1's multiple notifications to various staff members. These failures affected one
resident (R1) out of 3 residents (R1, R3 and R6) reviewed for verbal abuse/assault.Findings include:On
2/10/2026 at 10:34 AM, R1 stated, R3 is being verbally abusive/assaulting towards R1 and calling R1
names, such as stupid n-word, stupid pedophile, nasty and disgusting and other racial names and slurs and
R3 would yell out false accusations about R1 such as R1 using the system, not taking care of own children,
falsely pretending to be sick to use state funding. R1 also said that R3 knows which room R1 resides on R1
and R3's floor, and on multiple occasions, R3 would pass by R1's room and sit in the wheelchair in front of
R1's room, screaming and cursing at R1 and showing R1 offensive finger gestures. R1 stated that R3's
verbal abuse towards R1 is ongoing and continuous and has been occurring for about a year. R1 stated
that R1 told multiple staff members on a different occasion throughout a year and feels that the facility is not
doing anything to prevent R3's verbally abusing R1. R1 stated that R1 used to be more social and outgoing
and would participate in group activities, speak with other residents and walk around the facility's common
areas before R3's verbal abuse. R1 said that now R1 feels sad, nervous, scared and wanting to isolate self
and stay in R1's room, to avoid contact with R3. R1 stated that R1 does not know why R3 is verbally
abusing R1, because R1 never talks with R3, R1 always avoids and ignores R3. R1 also said that when
talking to staff members about R1's concerns, the staff told R1 to ignore R3, not to look or talk with R3 and
to avoid R3 as much as possible. R1 said that R1 enjoyed eating food at the dining room with other
residents, but now R1 eats in R1's room and does not go out of room much and if R1 does go out of room,
R1 makes sure that nurses are around. On 2/10/2026 at 10:50AM, V4 (Registered Nurse/RN) stated that
V4 is aware of R1's concerns with R3 and that R1 talked with V4 about R3's verbal abuse on 2/2/2026. V4
stated that R1 told V4 that R3 continues to call R1 names and racial slurs and cursing at R1. V4 said that
R1 told V4 that R3 would pass R1's room and sits in wheelchair in front of the door and curse at R1 and
show R1 inappropriate finger gestures. V4 stated that R1 told V4 that verbal abuse from R3 is ongoing
issue. V4 also said that once, (not sure of date), R1 was sitting in the dining room and R3 rolled up in the
wheelchair towards R1 and called R1 the n-word and V4 heard it. V4 told the supervisor at that time. V4
said that the supervisor notified, does not work at the facility anymore. V4 affirmed that on 2/2/2026, V4
went to V1's (Administrator) office and V14's (Social Services Director) to report R1's concerns and that V4
documented it in R1's chart. V4 stated that V1 told V4 that V1 is aware of the issues between R1 and R3
