On 5/20/24 at 2:20 PM, V14, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), stated when she came to the nursing home,
the incident with R3 and R4 just happened. V14 assessed both and sent both residents to the hospital. She
did not witness the incident. V14 also stated R3 has had increased behaviors for the past month, and they
were changing his medication. She continued to state they redirect him, talk to him, but since he is blind, he
really doesn't watch tv. She also stated she does not recall if she was told he was having behaviors earlier
that day, and he was really a sweet person. V14 continued to state his dementia was advancing, and with
his blindness it has gotten worse, and he was very sensitive to loud noises.
On 5/10/24 at 4:03 PM, V4, CNA, stated, I was working on the day shift, and he (R3) was fine. Nothing
about him was out of the ordinary. He does have bad vision. He can only see shadows.
On 5/10/24 at 3:30 PM, V2, Director of Nurses (DON), stated, (R3) has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental
Status) of 1. He lives on the Memory Unit. He got a hold of a lamp in another resident's room (R4) and hit
her over the head with it. She was not hurt, but both parties went to the ER (Emergency Room) to be
checked out. A police report was filed. He has very poor vision. His family says that he is totally blind, but he
can see shadows. When this happened, they were immediately separated. (V1) and I were notified. (R3)
was in the middle of a med (medication) change. He was being taken off of Seroquel and had started
Rexulti. When (R1) came back, he was placed on 1 to 1 supervision until the next morning. He really didn't
understand, but he did know that he hurt someone. (R4) she didn't remember anything about it. The next
morning, she thought she was in a golfing accident. Staff told me he thought he was trying to saddle his
horse. The next morning, neither of them remembered. Doctors have been keeping a close eye on him and
have changed his meds. He does have behaviors but nothing violent. He is doing much better now. This
happened in the middle of shift change between evening and night shift.
On 5/10/24 at 4:10 PM, V3, Memory Unit Director, stated, (R3) would have his moments when he would get
agitated, but nothing threw up flags to us that he needed constant supervision. When he does get agitated,
he is very easy to redirect. This happened during shift change, so both evening shift and night shift were
present.

supervision.
On 5/21/2024 at 10:21 AM, V1, Administrator, stated they do not have a specific policy related to Dementia
Care or Supervision of Residents.
