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
interview and record review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from physical abuse
by another resident for two of six residents (R1 and R2) reviewed for abuse, in sample list of six residents.
Findings include:
R2's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R2 as moderately cognitively impaired. This
same MDS documents R2 requires extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility, transfers,
locomotion on and off unit, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. This same MDS documents R2 uses a
walker and a wheelchair for mobility devices.
R1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R1 as moderately cognitively impaired. This
same MDS documents R1 as requiring extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility, transfers,
dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene, and supervision for locomotion on and off unit. This same MDS
documents R1 uses a wheelchair for mobility.
R2's Care Plan documents a focus area, dated 4/17/23, of, (R2) Resident has suffered a traumatic life
event of physical abuse from past ex husband requiring support and intervention. May be triggered by
approaching her from behind or from res (resident) to res altercation. R2's Care Plan documents an
intervention, dated 6/9/23, for staff to monitor for triggers due to (R2) being struck by (R1) on 6/8/23.
R2's Final Incident Report to Illinois Department of Public Health, dated 6/9/23, documents, (V5) Licensed
Practical Nurse (LPN), witnessed (R1) push her wheelchair up to (R2) and slap (R2) in the face, knocking
(R2's) glasses off. At that time, residents (R1, R2) were separated and evaluated for injury. (R2) was noted
to have a reddened area on her upper face where her glasses got knocked off. (R1) continued to be
agitated shaking her hands at others. Staff tried to calm (R1) but was unable to calm her more than a few
seconds at a time. Due to (R1's) aggressive behavior, (V5) called the (V7) Physician, but was unable to
reach, and nurse was told by (V2) Director of Nurses (DON) to send (R1) to the hospital emergency room
as a nurse judgement call. This same report documents, Due to (R1's) diagnosis of Dementia she is unable
to give the sequence of events that occurred and cannot understand what she did. Due to (R1's) diagnosis,
it has been determined it's unclear what caused (R1) to become agitated and strike (R2).
R2's undated Follow Up Report documents, (V5) sates she heard the hit, (R1) has been having increased
agitation and aggressive behaviors since psychotropic medication medication decreased.

R2's Nurse Progress Note, dated 6/8/23 at 2:11 PM, documents, (R1) observed sitting in hallway in
wheelchair. (R2) complained of (R1) running over (R2's) toes. (R2) holding Left side of face with glasses in
hand. (R2) states (R1) slapped (R2) and ran over her toes.
On 6/11/23 at 1:00 PM, V5, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated, I was sitting at the nurses desk doing
some paperwork. (R2) was sitting in her wheelchair on the opposite side of nurses desk. I couldn't see (R2)
since I was sitting down, but I did see (R1) wheeling herself up the hall. A minute later, I heard a slap
sound. I got up from the nurses desk to see (R1) wheeling away from (R2), and (R2) was sitting with her
mouth open and holding her glasses in her hands. (R2) denied pain. I took (R2) into her room and
assessed her skin. (R2) had no redness on her face or feet.
On 6/11/23 at 2:15 PM, V2, Director of Nurses, stated, I was trying to figure out how (R2's) right great toe
might have gotten that reddened area. I think (R1) was wheeling herself in her wheelchair down the hall
and approached (R2) from (R2's) left side. Since (R2) was slapped on the left side of her face, that would
make sense. I think (R1) just didn't like (R2) questioning (R1) about running over (R2's) toes. (R1) gets
more agitated with any kind of confrontation.
On 6/12/23 at 2:00 PM, V1, Administrator, confirmed R1 was self propelling wheelchair in front of R2, when
R1 rolled over R2's toes. V1 stated that act caused R2 to say to R1 'do not run over my toes'. V1 stated R1
then became agitated, and slapped R2 across the left cheek. V1 Administrator stated That is the epitome of
physical abuse. (R1) should not have slapped (R2) across the face.
The facility abuse policy titled 'Resident Care Policy and Procedure Regarding Abuse and Neglect,
Involuntary Seclusion, Exploitation, Misappropriation of Resident Property, Injuries of Unknown Origin and
Social Media', revised 3/15/18, documents all residents have the right to be free from verbal, sexual,
physical, mental abuse, corporal punishment, involuntary seclusion, neglect, misappropriation of property,
exploitation. Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment
with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Willful as used in this definition of abuse means the
individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm.
Physical abuse means the infliction of injury on a resident that occurs other than by accidental means and
that required (whether or not given) medical attention. Physical abuse may include, but is not limited to such
acts as: hitting, slapping, kicking, hair pulling and pinching, etc.

with other resident for no apparent reason. Noted to become physically aggressive with staff when
attempting to redirect (R1). Continuous throughout the day with restlessness. Noted to exit seek at times.

aggressive behaviors all day. Redirection at times accepted by (R1) and other time approaching her
(R1)threatened and becomes more upset. Episodes have became more frequent and more aggressive.
Nothing appears to prompt the behaviors, it just happens.
On 6/12/23 at 2:05 PM, V1, Administrator, stated ,Any allegation, witnessing or suspicion of abuse should
always be reported to the Administrator/Abuse Coordinator. The documentation for (R1) as being verbally
and physically aggressive with other residents should have been reported. That way, the Administrator
could have started interviewing, found out who the other residents were, if there were any effects on the
other residents, and began the investigation and reporting process. Since the staff did not report those
events to me or anyone else, the Abuse policy was not followed.
