Residents Affected - Few Findings include: On 5/2/25 at 1:30 PM, R2 said R5 hit her in the head with an open milk carton and milk went everywhere. R2 said R5 and her popped each other. R2 was smoking a cigarette outside. R5 said R2 needs to do something with her hair and kept calling R2 big girl. R5 wouldn't leave R2 alone. R2 pushed R5's face, I muffed him. R5 threw an open milk carton in R2's face. R2 said there was no staff outside. V11 (Psychosocial Aide/Social Service Assistant) came outside after everything happened. R2 said R5 talks about her almost every day. R2 said they talk about her weight, hair, and how crazy she is. On 5/6/25 at 10:00 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated the incident with R2 and R5 happened on the patio during smoking break. The police were not notified of the altercation between R2 and R5.

The staff was at the door on the inside of the building. R5 said R2 was asking everybody for a cigarette. R5 told R2 to stop asking for cigarettes. R2 was being annoying by asking the same people for cigarettes. R5 and R2 exchanged a couple words. R2 got up and hit R5 in the face. R5 hit R2 back in the face. Staff separated us and told us to stay apart, and only one of us should be on the patio to smoke at a time. We speak to each other now; everything is cool now. We apologized to each other.
