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 ensure physical abuse did not occur for 2 of 3 residents (R1) and R3) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 7. 1-R1's Physician Order Sheet for August 2025 documents a diagnosis of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, mucopurulent chronic bronchitis, weakness, major depression disorder, acute diastolic heart failure, pleurisy, anxiety disorder and spinal stenosis of the cervical region.

R1's Care Plan document under Abuse with the date initiated of 12/10/2024 documents, (R1) had verbal/physical altercation with another resident (no injuries) on 7/9/2025. The Care Plan does not address the resident-to-resident altercation on 8/21/2025. R1's Progress Notes do not address the resident-to-resident altercation on 8/21/2025. A Statement from V8, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) dated 8/21/2025 documents, I (V8) was bringing (R3) from the dining room pushing her to the room. Once there another resident was in her room. She asked (R1) to not move her curtain, then (R1) said ‘wait Bitc*' to (R3) then (R3) rode down on (R1) and punched her in the back, then (R1) turned around and punched (R3) in the face, then I pulled (R3) back then everything was over. On 9/19/2025 at 2:11 PM, a phone message was left for V8, but she never returned the call during this survey. A statement from V7, Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) dated 8/21/2025 documents, Around 1:15 PM, I heard a CNA screaming while standing at the back nursing station.

(R1) grabbed her walker and walked out. Called (R3) a bitc*.

I put myself between the residents and tried to calm them down. I am not aware of either one of them being aggressive. All I know is that (R1) was going into (R3's) room because she is friends with (R3's) roommate. On 9/19/2025 at 11:39 AM, R1 stated, I was friends with (R7) and she shared a room with (R3).

The Facility Abuse Policy 2022 documents, This facility affirms the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, and mistreatment of residents. In order to do so, the facility has attempted to establish a resident sensitive and resident secure environment. The purpose of this policy is to assure that the facility is doing all that is within its control to prevent occurrences of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation of goods and services by staff and mistreatment of residents. Abuse: Abuse means any physical or mental injury or sexual assault inflicted upon a resident other than by accidental means (210 ILCS 45/1-103). Abuse is the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish to a resident (42 CFR 483.5). This also includes the deprivation by an individual, including a caretaker, of goods or services that are necessary to attain and/or maintain physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. This assumes that all instances of abuse of residents, even those in a coma, cause physical harm or pain or mental anguish (42 CFR 483.12 Interpretive Guidelines). The term willful in the definition of abuse means the individual must have acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm. (42 CFR 483.5).
