F 0600 after thoroughly reviewing all the available evidence, we have concluded that resident R9 was seeing multiple men. When R8 saw another man talking to her (R2), he struck R2. Level of Harm - Actual harm Staff immediately separated the 2 residents. Residents Affected - Few R2 was treated for a slight laceration and was sent to the ER for an evaluation. Ct scan was negative, and no sutures were required. The laceration has since healed. R2's hospital record dated 2/2/24 states including diagnosis of injury: 1cm laceration to the right cheek with a steri-strip over site. CT scan negative. R2 was discharged from hospital back to facility on 2/3/24. On 2/28/24 at 1:10 PM V7 (RN) stated I was the nurse on duty when R2 and R8 had the altercation. R2 was talking to R8's girlfriend R9. R8 approached R2 and struck him with fist. R2's glasses flew off. The glasses caused a laceration to the cheek. They were separated immediately. R2's doctor was notified. R2's family was notified. R2 was sent to the hospital. The police were notified. R8 was sent to the hospital for evaluation. Our abuse prevention policy was followed. On 2/28/24 at 4:05PM V12 (Physician) stated yes, I was aware of the physical altercation with R2. R2 was sent to the hospital with a small laceration. The emergency room contacted me and R2 received no serious injury and was returned to the facility. R2 is now at another facility and is doing well. That is all I can give you since the injury was minimal.

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report a serious fire incident that had the potential of causing serious bodily injury within 24 hours for 2 (R3, R4) of 4 residents sampled. This failure has the potential to affect all 123 residents residing in the facility at time of incident. Findings include: Review of resident progress notes and interview of V1 (Administrator) it was substantiated that on 1/21/24 at 11:30PM, R3 set R4's mattress on fire following an argument between both residents. Facility reportable incident logs were reviewed on 2/20/24. No incidents related to the 1/21/24 facility mattress fire was reported to the State Survey Agency. On 2/20/24 at 10:39 AM V1 (Administrator) stated we were considering discharge of R3 after the fire but after speaking with the guardian we did not. I did not file an incident with the mattress fire because nobody was hurt and no one was touched. R3 started the fire with a lighter. R3 stated he brought the lighter in from the community. He has behaviors when we restrict him from going into the community. We let him go into the community by himself, so he does not have aggressive behaviors. Initially we wanted to involuntarily discharge him. We informed the guardian. I spoke with guardian and we accepted R3 back. Since R3 came back social service does more frequent room checks. The social service room checks are not documented that I know of. We did a medication review. The doctor was involved in the medication review. I am not sure what doctor. We have a new DON that just started yesterday so she will not have anything to do with this incident.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety morning for a room change. At approximately 11:30 pm the smoke detector in the room went off and the aide went to check, and the bed of his roommate (R4) was on fire. All staff responded to the fire and this writer (V20) grabbed the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. All residents were moved out of the room. 911 was contacted and responded. PPHP (Provider Partners Health Plan) was notified and order given to send this resident out to the emergency room (ER) for evaluation. Police transported resident to hospital with petition. Administrator notified of incident. Residents Affected - Many On 2/20/24 at 10:39 AM V1 (Administrator) stated we were considering discharge of R3 after the fire but after speaking with the Guardian we did not. I did not file an incident with the mattress fire because nobody was hurt, and no one was touched. R3 started the fire with a lighter. R3 stated he brought the lighter in from the community. He has behaviors when we restrict him from going into the community. We let him go into the community by himself, so he does not have aggressive behaviors. Initially we wanted to involuntarily discharge him. We informed the guardian. I spoke with guardian, and we accepted R3 back. Since R3 came back social service does more frequent room checks. The social service room checks are not documented that I know of. We did a medication review. The doctor was involved in the medication review. I am not sure what doctor. We have a new Director of Nursing (DON) that just started yesterday so she will not have anything to do with this incident. On 2/20/24 at 11:17AM V5 (Social Service Director) stated I am responsible for R3. I was not here during the incident with the fire, it was about 11PM. From what was told to me R3 was in room with roommate (R4). R3 walked over and lit R4s mattress on fire. R3 ran out of the room and staff came to room. Staff put out fire and called 911. R4 was evaluated by paramedics with no injury. R4 refused to go to hospital. R3 was sent to hospital. R3 came back to facility. We had R3 restricted from going to community. We searched all belongings when R3 was in hospital. We have behavior aides on the floor doing behavior checks. There was a behavior aide on the floor during the fire incident. I am not aware of R3's non-compliant smoking incidents during his stay. I am unsure on how R3 started the fire. At the time of incident R3 was not on smoking restriction. To my knowledge R3 never threatened anyone before. R3 had verbal altercations with staff because he was restricted from community pass. The 72-hour pass restriction was in effect when he had those behaviors. He is on unrestricted pass now in the community. I believe he is out of the facility now. On 3/6/24 at 11AM V1 (Administrator) stated that R3 was put on pass restriction due to being readmitted to the facility. All residents who are newly readmitted are put on 72-hour pass restriction. This is the reason R3 was on 72-hour pass restriction. R3 was on the 72-hour pass restriction from 2/8 to 2/11/24. On 2/21/24 at 10:22AM V7 (RN) stated I was there when R3 started the fire. It was the end of the shift about 11:30PM. I saw R3 come to another nurse to have discussion. R3 walked away. Later the fire alarm went off. We dialed 911. The 2 CNAs (V21 and V22) and the night nurse (V20) ran to the room and I followed. The nurse (V20) went to get the fire extinguisher. The CAN's were covering the fire on the bed with a blanket on the corner of the mattress. The nurse came in and used the extinguisher. All residents were moved out of the room. R4's was the bed on fire. He was not injured. All residents were moved out of the room. R4, R5 and R10 were moved off the room. We (the nurses and CNAs) assessed all of them. There were no injuries. R3 was not in the room when we went in. He started the fire and left room. The fire department arrived but the fire was already out. The police then arrived. R4 said he was ok to the fire department captain and he did not want to go to hospital. We searched for a lighter, but nothing was found. He did leave the unit during the incident.
