or potential for actual harm
The local police department report was reviewed and shows that they arrived to the facility at approximately
9:00 PM on 9/3/22. That report shows both R102 and R331 were interviewed by the police. R102
communicated with the police by showing them previously typed messages on his cell phone about the
incident. R102 admitted to throwing the cans at R331 because the TV was too loud. R331 told police he
had recently been moved into the room with R102 (10 hours earlier) and was watching a football game on
TV when R102 began throwing cans at him. One can hit him in the back of the head, and one knocked his
phone to the floor cracking the phone screen. The investigation shows R102 was issued a citation for
criminal damage and battery.
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/18/22 at 2:38 PM, V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) said the night the altercation happened
between R102 and R331 she was alerted by a CNA who came frantic saying that R102 was throwing cans
at R331. V11 said when she arrived, there were several soda cans on the floor and in the hallway, and
R331 was covered in soda. V11 said she immediately separated the 2 residents (both were still on their
side of the room) and called V1 to alert him of the incident. She said when she asked R331 what
happened, he told her he was watching TV and R102 just started opening and throwing cans at him. R102
told her that he had been hit with a can and his phone was also broken. V11 said R102 can become
childish if he does not get his way, but to her knowledge, he has never started a physical altercation with
any other roommates.
On 10/19/22 at 8:04 AM, V8 (Unit Manager) said she was notified of the altercation between R102 and
R331. She said R331 was not injured but he was very upset the incident happened, and he was moved to
another room and discharged a few days later. V8 said that R102 is very particular about people and also
doesn't like certain staff at the facility and refuses care from them. She said that there has been issues
between R102 and roommates in the past, but to her knowledge, he has never become physical with
anyone else. V8 said she went to try and talk with R102 after the incident, and he responded by giving her
the middle finger. She said to communicate with R102 they use a writing board, an interpreter, or he types
the words into his phone, and they read it.
On 10/19/22 at 8:22 AM, V12 (Medical Records/Interpreted for R102) R102 communicated with the
surveyor via writing on an erase board and via V12 interpreting. R102 said he deliberately was trying to hit
R 331 with the cans he threw at him because his TV was too loud. R102 said he did not try to alert staff
about the TV issue and asked this surveyor, Am I going to jail.
On 10/19/22 at 9:01 AM, V1 said he was contacted by staff at the facility about the incident between R102
and R331, and he came into the facility and began the investigation. He said he was upset that the police
did not take R102 with them after this incident occurred because it was considered a battery to another
resident. V1 said he has not had any other physical abuse allegations involving R102, but he has had other
roommate issues, which are typically the other residents requesting to move away from R102 because his
TV is too loud. V1 said that R102 does not have any dementia and his acts were deliberate. He said when
he sent the final report to IDPH he forgot to check the box that abuse was substantiated, but battery is
abuse and the allegation of abuse was substantiated against R102. V1 also said R1 has not had a private
room because of space at the facility.
On 10/19/22 at 9:59 AM, R331 was interviewed via phone. He said he was only in the room a short time
with R102, but on the night of the incident (9/3/22) he was watching the bears game on TV, and his
roommate (R102) had turned his TV off and went to bed. Shortly after, he hears a pop can open up and it
comes flying by him hitting the side of his head. He said he was covered in soda, and R102

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure 2 staff were present during resident care to prevent
resident injury for 2 residents (R9 and R77), and failed to ensure 2 staff were present for a resident transfer
for 1 resident (R46). This failure resulted in R77 rolling out of bed, sustaining subdural hematomas requiring
emergency care and hospitalization.
This applies to 3 of 25 residents (R9, R77, R46) reviewed for safety/supervision in the sample of 25.
The findings include:
R77's Facility assessment dated [DATE], 5/23/22, and 8/22/22 showed R77 being [AGE] years old, being
cognitively intact, and needing two-person assistance with bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toileting, and
bathing.

showed two acute subdural hematomas.
On 10/18/22 at 2:00 PM, V18 (Therapy Director) stated, she has assisted with turning R77 in the past. Due
to her contractures, and inability to move herself, she needs to have two people turn her with care.
On 10/18/22 at 11:35 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated if a resident is designated as a two-person
assist, there should be two staff members providing the care. R77 should not be turned with only one
person for care.
The facility's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Policy revised 3/27/21 showed .Each ADL should be provided
at the level of assistance that promotes the highest practicable level of function for the resident, while
ensuring the needs and desired goals of the resident are met safely.

toilet alone. V7 said that R46 is a 1-person transfer and she gets the information communicated to her from
the nurse how each resident transfers.
On 10/18/22 at 1:36 PM, V8 (Unit Manager) initially said that R46 was a 1 person staff transfer and went to
check the (Trade name) storage/file system in the computer. V8 returned and said it was her mistake but
R46 does require 2 staff to transfer him. V8 showed this surveyor R46's (Trade name) storage/file system
that indicates he requires 2 staff for transfers and toileting.
