other. R2 could no longer deal with name-calling and became very upset. R1 called R2 names referring to
her weight in Spanish and R2 said she could not take it anymore. Both R1 and R2 confirmed that both call
out each other inappropriate names.
On 3/31/2025 at 3:06 PM, R2 said, I could not take it anymore and I want the name-calling to stop. I don't
want to be called fat in English or Spanish.

cleanliness; on 3/29/2025 during smoking activity, I had an argument with R2 and R2 scooted toward me in
her wheelchair and R1 placed the ashtray in between to keep them apart from each other. We both made

R2.

movie with other residents that had nudity and violence that R2 did not like and R1 was verbally aggressive
towards me when I tried to unplug the television.
On 3/31/2025 at 3:32 PM V5 (Activity Director) said, R1 and R2 sometimes call out names to each other.
R1 will call R2 fat and R2 will call R1 fat. R1 uses Spanish words toward R2 that I do not understand. But
both are redirectable and will stop. During smoking time, there is always someone supervising. On
3/29/2025 R1 got agitated and was calling R2 names and R2 was calling R1 names. R1 pushed the astray
towards him and the Aide pushed back R2. Both residents always resolved their differences, and it is an
ongoing issue that got worse on 3/29/2025. I had to notify V1(Administrator) and report verbal abuse.
On 04/01/2025 at 11:00 AM V7 (Activity Aide) I was doing activities over the weekend on Saturday
3/29/2025 when R1 and R2 were smoking outside. R1 and R2 started calling each name. Both called each
other fat. R2 scooted over towards R1 during the argument and R2 grabbed the ashtray and placed it in the
middle between them. I called my supervisor and was notified of the name calling and R2 was very upset
with the name calling. Both residents have called fat names to each other in the past but would stop after
being redirected, but not this time. I separated them and pushed out R2. R1 and R2 never touched
themselves or got physical at all, only calling out fat to each other.
On 04/01/2025 at 2:35 PM V8 (Registered Nurse) said, R1 was very aggressive after R1 cornered the
activity aide during activity, I called V1 and called the nursing practitioner and received orders to transfer R1
out to be evaluated. R1 and R2 usually say profanity to each other, but usually, I can redirect them. That did
not happen this weekend. R1 is vocal when someone doesn't agree with him. R1 will belittle others.
On 3/31/2025 at 4:00 PM V1(Administrative) said, V5 (Activity Director) reported to me that R1 was verbally
abusive to R2 during the smoke outing on 3/29/2025 at 3:45 PM, R2 reported that R1 was yelling and
aggressive. I gave directions to separate them and place R1 on one-to-one monitoring. On Sunday
3/30/2025 during the movie, R2 said felt uncomfortable with the movie that was showing and told V6 to
intervene. R1 took the remote control and V6 unplugged the television. R1 got out of control and got to V6's
face and said, You better watch out. I contacted the nurse and the nurse said that R1's behaviors were
escalating and out of control. R1 was evoking fear in others staff and residents and is refusing psychiatric
consultations. An involuntary petition was created and R1 went to the hospital in the morning.
Transportation was here at 08:00-10:30 AM and R1 was refusing to go to the hospital. R1 started yelling in
the community room and the nurse called 911. The police came in and R1 agreed to go to the hospital to
be evaluated.
On 04/01/2025 at 10:37 R5 said that on 3/29/2025 heard R1 and R2 yelling at each other names like, you
are fat, and the other said you are fat too. I was working on my computer when I heard R1 and R2 arguing.
On 04/01/2025 at 10:45 AM R3 said, R1 and R2 are an ongoing issue here and the staff try to keep them
separated and away from each other. R1 intimidates staff and residents. R1 and R2 call each other
inappropriate names.
On 04/01/2025 at 10:50 AM R4 said, R1 and R2 call out names to each other all the time and on
3/30/2025, R1 picked a movie with the guys and R2 did not like the movie selection because of the violence
and nudity and had a disagreement. R1 calls R2 fat and chicharron in Spanish fat pig and R2 calls R1 fat.
