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
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to protect residents' right to be free from physical
abuse by another resident. This resulted in R1's abuse by R2, R3's abuse by R2, and R7's abuse by R5.
R1, R2, R3, R5, and R7 are five of eight residents reviewed for abuse in the sample list of 12. Findings
include:The facility's Abuse Prevention and Reporting- Illinois policy dated 10/24/22 documents the facility
affirms the residents' right to be free from abuse and prohibits abuse and mistreatment of residents. This
policy documents physical abuse is the infliction of injury that occurs other than by accidental means and
includes hitting, slapping, pinching, and kicking. 1.) The facility's Abuse Investigation Checklist documents
on 12/10/25 at 5:00 PM an allegation of physical abuse involving R1 and R2. R2 hit R1 on the left side of
R1's face while in the dining room, which was witnessed by V3 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). There
were no injuries. V3's statement documents R2 pointed at R1 as they were seated at the same table and
then R2 slapped R1 on the left cheek. V3 attempted to get to them as fast as V3 could and removed R2
from R1's table. R2 started hitting V3. R2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R2 is
rarely/never understood, has poor recall and memory impairment. R2's active care plan documents R2 has
Alzheimer's Disease. This care plan includes a problem area dated 4/12/24 that R2 can be combative when
approached and includes an intervention to be aware of R2's whereabouts and R2 should be in the dining
room or lobby when up in wheelchair. R1's MDS dated [DATE] documents R1 as cognitively intact. On
12/22/25 at 9:08 AM R1 was interviewed but did not recall the incident where R1 was slapped. On 12/23/25
at 9:35 AM V3 CNA stated: R1's/R2's altercation occurred in the dining room just prior to supper. R1/R2
were seated next to each other, R2 was fidgeting with a clothing protector and pushed it towards R1. R1
pushed it back to R2 and I removed the clothing protector. Then V3 saw R2 lean over the table and put R2's
finger in R1's face, but V3 could not hear what was said. R2 then put her hand next to R1's face and
threatened to hit R1. V3 tried to get to them to intervene, but then R2 open handed smacked R1 on the left
side of R1's face. There was no redness or injury and R1 just kind of looked at R2 like a deer in the
headlights. R1 is always quiet, but R2 is like a switch that turns on/off and R2 has been involved in prior
altercations with staff/residents. As V3 removed R2 from the table R2 started hitting V3. 2.) The facility's
Abuse Investigation Checklist documents an allegation of verbal and physical altercation between R2 and
R3, who both have dementia/Alzheimer's Disease. On 11/22/25 at 11:45 AM R3 spoke to R2 and R2 hit R3
in R3's right arm, witnessed by V14 CNA. There were no injuries. V14's statement documents V14 was
pushing a resident into the dining room for lunch and came around the corner to see R2 pushing a transfer
chair. V15 (R3's Family) was pushing R3 in a wheelchair through the lobby and past R2. R3 asked R2 what
R2 was doing, R2 brought her fist up and hit R3 in his right upper arm. V15's statement documents R3 was
very excited that V15 was visiting and R3 speaks with incorrect words at times. As they passed into the
hallway from the lobby, R3 yelled at R2

afternoon, R4's call light was on and R4 had been incontinent of feces. V12 stated V8, Certified Nurse's
Aide (CNA), and V9, Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA), answered the call light and said they would be back to
clean R4. After 45 minutes, V11 cleaned R4 and assisted her to her wheelchair. V8 or V9 did not return.
On 12/22/25 at 12:00 PM, V11, a Certified Nurse's Aide (CNA) and R4's family member, stated, I was
called in to work on 12/1/25, and R4's call light was on. I went in to change R4, and she had dried feces all
over her. I scrubbed it off, but it caused R4 pain and made her skin red and irritated.
On 12/22/25 at 2:00 PM, V8 stated, I do remember that day, though I'm not sure of the exact date. By the
time V9 and I got back to clean up R4, V11 had already done it.
On 12/23/25 at 10:00 AM, R4 was lying in her bed looking out the window. R4 appeared clean and
appropriately groomed. R4 stated, I don't want to get the staff in trouble or anything, but I do lay here
sometimes all night in pee and poop. It is not their fault. I don't think they have enough help sometimes. It
makes me feel uncomfortable, and it's kind of disgusting. R4 looked away and frowned.
2.) On 12/23/25 at 6:17 AM, 6:30 AM, 6:40 AM, and 6:45 AM, R12's call light was on. At 6:50 AM, R12's
call light was no longer on. R12 was sitting on the side of her bed with her pants at her knees. R12 stated
an unidentified housekeeper had answered her call light and told her she would get staff to help. R12 stated
she had been waiting to use the bathroom, which was why her call light was on. R12 stated she has waited
up to 45 minutes in the past, which has caused her to urinate in her pants due to waiting so long.
At 7:00 AM, V21, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), entered R12's room. V21 stated she and the other
CNA, V31, were in another resident's room performing a full mechanical lift transfer. R12 told V21 that her
call light had been on for at least 20 minutes, which she stated was a long time to wait when needing to use
the bathroom. V21 assisted R12 to the bathroom, and R12 was wearing an incontinence brief.
At 7:10 AM, R12 stated she wears incontinence briefs so that when she is incontinent, her pants will not get
wet. R12 stated she does not like waiting so long that it causes her to be incontinent, stating, It's awful.
R12's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents R12 as cognitively intact, occasionally
incontinent of bowel and bladder, and requiring partial/moderate staff assistance for toileting hygiene and
supervision/touch assistance for transfers. R12's active Care Plan documents that R12 receives diuretic
therapy and has diagnoses of morbid obesity and complex pain syndrome.
On 12/23/25 at 7:07 AM, V21 stated that two CNAs are not enough for R12's hallway, describing it as a
heavy hall. V21 stated mornings are busy completing showers, which can affect call light response times.
V21 stated there are 12–13 residents on the hall who require mechanical lift transfers with two staff.
V21 stated all staff are supposed to help answer call lights.
On 12/23/25 at 10:38 AM, V1, Administrator, stated that call lights should be answered timely and that all
staff are expected to answer call lights so assistance can be provided. V1 confirmed that a 30–45
minute response time would not be considered timely for a call light or toileting request.

active care plan includes a problem area dated 4/12/24 identifying that R2 can be combative when
approached. The care plan includes interventions dated 4/12/24 and 4/24/24 to be aware of R2's
whereabouts, to have R2 remain in the dining room or lobby when up in a wheelchair, and to report
behaviors to psychiatric services following any encounters with other residents. The care plan has not been

pushed it back, and V3 removed the clothing protector. V3 then observed R2 lean over the table and place
her finger in R1's face, though V3 could not hear what was said. R2 then placed her hand near R1's face
and threatened to hit R1. V3 attempted to intervene, but R2 then open-handedly struck R1 on the left side
of R1's face. There was no redness or injury observed, and R1 appeared startled. V3 stated R2 is like a
switch that turns on and off and has been involved in prior altercations with staff and residents. As V3
