and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to prevent one resident (R4) from being physically attacked
in an elevator. This failure has resulted in R4 sustaining a closed head injury, becoming emotional and
stating that she is no longer comfortable in the facility. This failure has affected one (R4) of four residents
reviewed for abuse. Findings include:R4 is a [AGE] year-old with diagnosis including but not limited to:
epilepsy, cerebral infarction, transient cerebral ischemic attack, headache and benign neoplasm of cerebral
meninges.R4 has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of a 12, which indicates moderately
impaired.R7 is [AGE] year-old with diagnosis including but not limited to: Unspecified behavioral and
emotional disorders, unspecified intellectual disabilities, bipolar disorder, oppositional defiant disorder and
morbid/ severe obesity.R7 has a BIMS score of 0 indicates severe cognitive impairment.On 12/08/25 at
12:10 pm, R4 stated the following as she started to cry, It's horrible here, I'm miserable! Just a couple of
weeks ago, I was attacked on the elevator by a male resident who is about six feet tall and weighs over 300
pounds. He (R7) punched me all in my head and my face. I couldn't do nothing but scream out for help and
no one could help me because the elevator was so crowded. That's why I have anxiety riding the elevator
now. My friend (R5) rides the elevator with me now because I asked to have my meals on the unit and was
told that I can't eat on the unit even though a few other residents are allowed to receive their meal trays on
the unit. After R7 attacked me, they (facility) sent him (R7) out for a psychiatric evaluation but he returned
right back after a week. The only reason that he (R7) is not here now is because he left AMA (Against
Medical Advice) on his own. I'm afraid and traumatized since the attack and I feel targeted. I have been
threatened by a couple other male residents since the attack because everyone knows what happened.
This place is filled with mental patients and I don't feel safe here.On 12/10/25 at 2:15 pm, V8 (Nurse
Practitioner) stated the following, It is never ok for a resident to be attacked by another resident. If a person
is hit in the head, we send them out for further evaluation and a CT scan because you never know what is
going on underneath. Many things such as headaches, seizures, visual problems may occur when a person
is hit in the head and it could lead to more serious outcomes.R4's Care Plan documents, the resident's
(R4's) comprehensive assessment reveals a history of suspected abuse and/or neglect or factors that may
increase her susceptibility of abuse. Neglect.Preliminary Incident Investigation Report dated 11/15/25

an altercation on the elevator. R4 was noted to have a scratch on the right side of her head in relation to the
incident.Incident Investigation Form dated 11/15/25 and documents the following: V15 (PRSC/ Psychiatric

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interviews and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate running water and failed to
provide adequate hot water. This failure has affected four residents (R1, R3, R9 and R10) and has the
potential to affect all 181 residents that reside in the facility. Findings include:R1 is [AGE] year-old with
diagnosis including but not limited to: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, unspecified asthma, essential hypertension,
insomnia and gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis.R1 has a BIMS (Brief Interview of
Mental Status) score of 15, which indicates cognitively intact. R3 is [AGE] year-old with diagnosis including
but not limited to: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation, type 2 diabetes mellitus
without complications, epilepsy, acute kidney failure and essential hypertension.R3 has a BIMS (Brief
Interview of Mental Status) score of 15, which indicates cognitively intact.R9 is [AGE] year-old with

has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of 15, which indicates cognitively intact.On 12/08/25 at
11:15 am, V1 (Administrator) stated the following, We have an issue with water pressure, valves, and ball
joints. The water is running, but at a very low pressure. 4th and 5th floors have more of an issue with
pressure.On 12/08/25 at 11:50 am, V5 (Project Manager) stated the following, We have been having issues
with the water pressure. The City wants us to change our water meters, but we've had to change two water
valves beforehand. We were able to change one valve but had issues with the other valve. The Plumbers
could not cut the water supply off from the City in order to change the other valve. The City came out and
closed the valve but when they tried to reopen, it did not open all the way. This is why the water pressure
has been low. I've been in contact with the City and the plumber in order to finally take care of the water
issues. They are both scheduled to come out this Saturday to make the repairs.On 12/08/25 at 1:56 pm, R1
turned on his hot water and Surveyor noted cold water running from the faucet.At that time R1 stated the
following, I understand that the building is old, but we should have hot water. The water in the shower is ice
cold. I need a shower bad. I have to clean myself the best way that I can. When I get up at around 2 am, I
check my water, and it is a little warm then. The last time I was able to take a shower here was last month
sometime. My toilet doesn't even flush at times, and we (residents) were told that it was due to the low
water pressure here on the fifth floor.On 12/08/25 at 1:57 pm, R1 attempted to flush his toilet but it would
not flush.On 12/08/25 at 2:18 pm, R3 stated the following, About two months ago is when the water issue
first started. The water had gone out completely in my room and since then, it's hit or miss. Sometimes it
runs ok, sometimes is runs very slow and sometimes it don't run at all. That's why I keep a jug of water in
my bathroom to at least wash my face or take a sponge bath in my bathroom. My last shower was about
four days ago. I don't know why we have the worst water issues here on the 5th floor. If my toilet doesn't
flush, I have to pour water into the toilet so that the urine or feces will go down. I know that this is an old
building an I heard that they have been working to fix the issue, but I feel like two months is enough time to
fix it. At that time, R3 turned on her hot water valve. Surveyor noted a small stream of cold water flowing
from R3's faucet and R3's toilet did not flush.A gallon of water was also noted in R3's bathroom.On
12/10/25 at 10:36 am R10 stated the following, the water works off and on. Sometimes the toilet won't flush
because of the low pressure. Right now, the water doesn't get hot. I have to wake up at 4am in order to get
