Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Based on interview and record, the facility failed to ensure residents are free from resident-to-resident
physical altercation. This failure affected 2 residents (R1,R2) reviewed for abuse in the total sample of 6
residents.
Finding include:
On 01/27/2025, at 11:43am, R2 stated we (R1 and R2) had a fight. I don't want to talk about it anymore.
On 01/27/2025, at 12:21pm, R5 stated the fight happened in the 1st floor dining room. They were to each
other's face, talking loudly. Then they start hitting and pushing each other, (R1) hit (R2)'s head and (R2) fell
down.
On 01/28/2025, at 10:44am, speaking with V11 (Housekeeping Director) and V9 (Housekeeping) stated if
there are two residents arguing, the first thing I need to do is to separate them so it will not escalate to
physical altercation.
On 01/28/2025, at 10:51am, V9 stated I was cleaning room *** or *** when I heard a lot of screaming and I
saw (R1) and (R2) were fighting. (R2) pushed (R1). I saw one nurse. This nurse told (R2) to go back to his
room on the 2nd floor. I did not see (R2) going back to the second floor because I continued cleaning the
room. In about one minute, I was by the door of a room when I heard a loud grunting. Louder than the
screaming. I looked and I saw (R1) head locked (R2) with his (R1) left arm. V9 was demonstrating to both
surveyor and V11 how (R1) head locked (R2). V9's left upper extremity angled on his left side and V9's right
hand holding his left wrist.
On 01/28/2025, at 11:09am, V9 stated I did not think the situation would escalate. I did not intervene the
first time, I got scared because (R1) is tall and I stand 5'6.
On 01/28/2025, at 11:14am, V11 stated I expected him (V9) to intervene and to protect both residents.
On 01/28/2025, at 11:30am, V12 (Registered Nurse) stated I was in med room to get insulin for one of my
residents. It would not have escalated if only staff intervened while they (R1 and R2) were still arguing. I
would still intervene on a safe distance and tell (R1) to calm down and I would have called for other staff to
assist. If I cannot manage the situation by myself, I would ask for help.
On 01/30/2025, at 10:02am, V18 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated I did not witness the incident

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 01/28/2025, at 3:25pm, V3 (Social Services Director) stated if residents are arguing, staff are expected
to deescalate the situation. Staff meaning anyone can get involve. If (V9) observed (R1) pushed (R2) it is
expected of him to help separate the residents or get other staff to help separate the residents. The
purpose of deescalating the situation is to avoid anybody to get injured.
Residents Affected - Few
On 01/28/2025, at 3:49pm, V3 stated in the aspect of height, the staff should have called for assistance and
not going back to what he was doing.
On 01/29/2025, at 1:28pm, this time speaking with V4 (Admissions Director) translating for V9, V9 stated
while cleaning room ***or *** I heard screaming, (R1) and (R2) were arguing, talking loudly and strongly. I
went out of the room, and I saw (R2) push (R1). I saw and heard the nurse tell (R2) to go to the second
floor. I did not see (R2) go to the second floor because I continued what I was doing. Approximately one
minute later, I heard a loud grunting noise. I went out of the room, and I saw (R1) and (R2) fighting on the
floor. My initial reaction was to drop my cleaning material and ask myself what am I going to do? I got
scared because I have never been in that situation before, I slowly approached them, and I told R1 'Relax'.
On both situations, I never asked for help.
On 01/29/2025, at 1:35pm, V4 stated I think in this situation, it is appropriate to call for code gray. Gray is for
violent behavior. I think if only he asked for assistance it will not escalate to a physical altercation.
On 01/29/2025, at 2:47pm, speaking with V4, V9, and V14 (Regional Director of Operations) V9 as
translated by V4 stated (R1) and (R2) were fighting on the floor.
On 01/29/2025, at 2:48pm, V14 stated fighting on the floor is resident to resident physical altercation.
On 01/29/2025, at 2:50pm, V14 stated it is not expected of our resident to be physical abused by another
resident. Two residents fighting on the floor is a physical altercation and considered as abuse.
