Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect the resident's right to be free from physical abuse by a resident. This failure affected 1 (R2) resident who vocalized that he felt that his life was in terrible danger when a resident (R5) slapped him on his face.
Findings include: On 03/17/2025 at 12:24pm, R2 stated couple of weeks ago, we (R2 and R8) were talking about car insurance, when he (R5) slapped me with his open right hand above my temple. I did not know what to do. When his hand landed on my face, I felt I was in a terrible danger. On 03/17/2025 at 12:16pm, R8 stated I did observed (R5) hitting (R2) a couple of weeks ago. He (R5) hit him (R2) on the face. I was talking to him (R2), and he (R5) hit him on his face with open hand on the left side of his (R2) face. He (R5) said he was upset because he (R2) was talking to me. The intent was to physically harm him, and he said I told you I don't want you in my room. On 03/19/2025 at 2:21pm, V22 (Licensed Practice Nurse) stated I was working that weekend on 03/01/2025. I was by my cart outside of the room preparing (R8)'s medications, while doing that, I heard a strange sound. I went in the room to see what is going on. I saw (R5) and (R2) standing up. (R2) was panting. He was upset based on his body language. There was a frown on their faces. I went in the middle. I sat him (R2) on his wheelchair and propelled him to his room. I asked him what happened, and he (R2) said R5 hit me on my face. I went to (R5)'s room and asked him what happened, and he (R5) said I told him not to come to my room while I am sleeping; he just kept on coming and so I just let him know how serious I am about not coming to my room while I am resting. I did assess him (R2). He has redness on the side of his face, I don't remember which side. It was tender because when I touched it, he moved his face away not wanting to be touched. He did a reaction of pulling his face away when I touched that side of his face. On 03/19/2025 at 9:49am, V18 (Family Nurse Practitioner) stated I was called to assess him (R2). From what I was told, there was an altercation between (R2) and (R5) that he (R2) got punched on his left side of face. I assessed him and there was tenderness on that side of his face. There was no discoloration, but it was tender. On 03/17/2025 at 3:28pm, V11 (Social Service Director) stated (R5) slapping (R2) is considered physical abuse. It is not expected of resident to be slapped by another resident. Our environment should be a home like environment and safe for all the residents.

He (R5) said that he was just sleep deprived and frustrated because he could not sleep, and he said he slapped him on the face.
