On 02/06/2025, at 10:13 AM, V1 (administrator) stated, On 01/27/2025, it was reported to me that there
was a loud commotion coming from R1 and R2's room. R1 and R2 were roommates at the time. V3
(registered nurse) went down the hallway to see what was going on. He explained to me that he saw R2
throw/push R1 from their bedroom into the hallway. V3 immediately intervened and escorted R1 to the
nurse's station. V3 called the nursing supervisor and the nursing supervisor called me. We called the family;
the physician and we called the police. The nursing supervisor went to speak to R2. R2 was informed that
the police were called. R2 was notified that she would be petitioned and sent out to the hospital. R2 said
that she refused to be sent to the hospital. R2 signed herself out against medical advice and left the facility.
R1 said that R2 attacked R1 for no reason. V3 said that it appeared like R2 was going through some
psychosis issues because R2 was acting bizarre and making weird statements that did not make sense.
This could be the possible reason why she attacked R1. R1 had an abrasion under her eye. R1 said that R2
hit her, grabbed her and pushed her out of the room. R1 was kept safe away from R2. R1 was sent out to
the hospital because she had an abrasion under her eye, and we were not sure if R2 hit R1 on the head.
R1 is frail and R2 was of bigger frame, so that was an advantage over R1.
On 02/06/2025, at 11:31 AM, during an interview with R1, surveyor observed an abrasion under R1's left
eye, which appeared to be healing. R1 stated, On 01/27/2025, R2 was my roommate at the time. I was
sitting on my bed, watching tv and doing puzzles. R2 said to me, B**** it's my room get out. Then R2 started
attacking me. R2 started hitting me on my face and on my head and pulled my hair. R2 was beating me,
and I fell to the floor. Then R2 grabbed me by my hair and called me names. R2 pulled me into the hallway
by my hair. R2 went back into the room and slammed the door. The nurse came and asked me what
happened. The nurse went into the room to talk to R2. The nurse gave me gauze to wipe my face and the
nurse took me to the nursing station and called the social worker. My family, the physician and the police
were notified. I was sent to the hospital because I was bleeding. I had a cut under my eye. I was examined
in the hospital, and I received a tetanus shot just in case due to the scratches. R2 attacked me for
absolutely no reason. I never provoked R2 in any way. R2 and I never had any issues in the past prior to the
physical attack. I want to press charges against R2 but she left before the police came and now they cannot
find her.
On 02/06/2025, at 2:39 PM, V3 (registered nurse) stated, On 01/27/2025, R2 came and told me that she
wanted to change rooms because she did not like her roommate. When I asked R2 what her issue was with
her roommate, R2 said that she did not have to explain herself to me. I told her that social services handled
room changes and since it was still relatively early, she can still talk to social services. R2 did not want to do
that and said to me, What if I go in there and beat the woman up. I told her that she should not do that
because then I would have to call the police. She left to go to her room, and she came back a short while
later and called her mom. R2 started to complain to her mom that she was mad at her roommate and that
she was going to do something to her roommate. R2 slammed the phone and went to her room and started
knocking things down to the floor on her way to her room. I figured that she was going to do something to
her roommate because R2 was upset. I got on the phone with social services to let them know that there is
an incident possibly brewing and that the social worker needed to come up. In the middle of that phone call,
I heard yelling and commotion in R1

with a lot of force, holding R1 by her pants. I separated R1 and R2 by getting in between them. Social
services came up also and I took R1 by the nursing station. I tended to R1's laceration under her left eye
because it was bleeding. R2 left against medical advice from the facility before the police got there. R1 was
sent to the hospital for evaluation for the laceration under her eye.

stated I don't have to explain anything to you. Writer informed her again that social services can help her.
She then stated; What if I just go beat her a**. Writer informed the resident that would be a bad idea
because of the possibility of police involvement and expulsion from the facility. R2 came back to nursing
station and called her mother telling her that she was going to attack her roommate. She began pushing
items off the counter and knocking CNA's (Certiified Nursing Assistant) belongings on the floor on her way
back to her room. Writer called social services to inform them of the situation and impending issue. While
