F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 4/17/25 at 1:50 PM V7 Certified Nurse Assistant stated on 3/2/25 R3 yelled out that R2 had just hit her. V7 stated she went over to see what was happening and separated R2 from R3. R3 stated R2 was trying to get her to move because R2 thought R3 was in R2's spot. R2 reached out and punched R3 in the left arm. R3 did appear to be visually upset about the situation. On 4/18/25 at 11:08 AM R3 stated R2 had punched her in the left upper arm and attempted to pull her out of her chair. R3 stated on 3/2/25 right around 12:30 PM, R2 began to wheel her wheelchair over close to R3. R2 told R3 to move out of her spot and when R3 tried to explain this was where she always sat, R2 began to punch R3 in the arm and pulled on her clothes to get her out of the chair. R3 stated if she had not moved her head back, R2's swing would have hit her in the face instead of the arm. R3 stated she realizes R2 has some cognitive decline but R3 was very upset after the situation and did not feel safe for a few days. R3 stated she began to avoid R2 however realized if she kept R2 in front of her line of site she would be able to see if R2 was coming, and she would not have to be caught off guard and could alert staff before R2 were to become physical again. R3 stated she no longer has a concern because she has since moved to a new facility. On 4/18/25 at 12:30 PM V1 Administrator confirmed R9 witnessed the incident on 3/2/25 and was able to confirm R2 hit R3 when R9 was interviewed directly after it happened. On 4/18/25 at 11:44 AM V2 Director of Nurses confirmed abuse of any kind should not occur and intentionally hitting or punching another resident would be considered physical abuse.
