At 12:00 PM R1 was seated in her geri chair in the common area by the nurse's station. R1 called out for
Surveyor and wanted Surveyor to bend her 2 fingers. Surveyor spoke to R1 and asked if she was hungry
and R1 stated no. Surveyor then told R1 it was almost lunch time and R1 started yelling out, can you bring
me some food. At 12:30 PM R1 was moved to the dining room for lunch and she continued to call out, Miss,
can I have my food, please!, over and over again until staff were able to bring her her food and sit down to
assist her.
At 12:00 PM Surveyor asked (V5- Registered Nurse, RN) at the nurse's station where (R3) was. V5
whispered, That is her behind me. Don't let her know we are talking about her- it won't be good. Surveyor
approached R3 by saying Hello. R3 snapped back- No talk- keep going.

Residents Affected - Few
brought by nursing station for observation. Asked other resident what happened but she did not say
anything but start crying and yelling again .
On 12/6/24 at 1:20 PM V3 (Certified Nursing Assistant- CNA) state, I was in the dining room and (R1) was
yelling- like she always does- this is one of her behaviors. I saw (R2) get up and walk towards her and
before I could get there I saw (R2) swat at (R1). She did not make contact with her- I guess I got there too
fast. They were at 2 different tables .
The facility Reported Incident dated 9/7/24 states, Interviews with residents revealed that (R2) began
speaking to another female resident on the unit. (R3) stated that she wanted more time with (R2) and was
jealous of their new friendship. (R2) said she heard (R3) call her a name and she made a bad decision to
pour some lemonade on (R3) .
R2's Progress Notes dates 9/7/24 state, Reported by one of resident's in facility (R3) that (R2) came up to
her and threw lemonade in her face and on her head. Resident (R2) stated that she did that because she
was screamed at and called names. Residents were separated .
On 12/6/24 at 10:10 AM V4 (Registered Nurse- RN) stated, (R2) has Dementia, she walks around with her
walker but sometimes she forgets it. She refuses care a lot and sometimes the CNAs call me because she
will not let them change her. Her son said she was very independent and she is ashamed that someone
should have to help her. I was here for both incidents and sent her to hospital both times. With (R3)- she is
very provoking- she yells things in Spanish and won't stop so (R2) went over to her and threw a glass of
lemonade in her face. I saw it happen. We cannot redirect (R3) but we can redirect (R2)- most of the time.
With (R1) I came into the dining room and (R2) was standing over (R1) and she looked like she was ready
to snap. I think she did some things without thinking- I felt bad sending a [AGE] year old woman to the
Psychiatric (psych) floor. Not that is is okay but the other residents have behaviors too and they provoke
her.
R2's Physician's Progress Note dated 10/29/24 states, Dementia. Was recently sent out to the hospital for
behavioral issues. Was admitted to psych unit. Started on Hydroxyzine (Antihystamine) for the behaviors,
discharged back to the facility. Outside hospital chart reviewed by me, vitals reviewed by me, labs reviewed
by me. In house psych consult .
R2's Psychiatric Progress Note dated 9/9/24 and 11/11/24 both state the same thing. These notes state,
(R2) is alert, calm, cooperative, confused with memory impairment, progressive cognitive decline, assist
needed with ADLs. Mood euthmic. No agitation or acute behaviors at this time, will continue to monitor.
R2's Care Plan initiated on 12/29/23 states: (R2) is at risk for abuse related to:wandering into other
residents' personal space. Diagnosis of Dementia, socially inappropriate behaviors such as physically and
verbally aggressive, history of abuse from the resident towards someone. R2's care plan shows no
interventions added after the incident on 9/7/24 with R3.
