Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse to the abuse coordinator and Illinois Department of Public Health per facility policy. This applies to 2 of 3 residents (R1, R2) reviewed for abuse in a sample of 3. The findings include: Face sheet, printed 8/22/24, shows R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and his diagnoses included acute kidney failure, adjustment disorder, vascular dementia, congestive heart failure, history of falls, depression, transient ischemic attack, and weakness. MDS (Minimum Data Set), dated 7/25/24, shows R1's cognition was moderately compromised. Face sheet, printed 8/22/24, shows R2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and his diagnoses included dementia, unspecified psychosis, depression, anxiety, psychoactie substance abuse, and insomnia. MDS, dated [DATE], shows R2's cognition was severely impaired. On 8/21/24 at 11:40 PM, R1 stated R2 was very confused and continuously wandered. R1 stated R2 continuously entered R1's room because the room used to be R2's room prior to R2 moving to another room. R1 stated on 8/18/24, R2 came into his room and tried to move his roommate while in bed. R1 stated he yelled at R2 to stop coming into R1's room and R2 placed his hands on R1's right and left side of R1's upper torso and shoved R1 backward while he was sitting in his wheelchair. R1 stated his wheelchair rolled back, hit his dresser in the back of the room, and R1 fell out of his wheelchair on to the floor. R1 stated staff came to assist him back into the wheelchair. R1 stated he experienced pain in his knee, hip and upper torso and R1 received an X-ray the evening of 8/18/24 to examine his knee. On 8/21/24 at 3:00 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated he was informed by the police that R1 called the police and reported that R2 hit/shoved R1 during their altercation earlier in the day. V1 stated he did not report the allegation to IDPH because he did not think the allegation was credible since the allegation did not surface from R1's nurse at the time of the incident. On 8/21/24 at 10:30 AM, V1 stated on 8/18/24 R1 alleged R2 wandered into R1's room and R2 shoved R1 causing R1 to go backward in his wheelchair. V1 stated there were no witnesses and no injuries and

V1 did not believe the incident happened so V1 did not report/investigate the allegation. V1 stated R1 was alert and oriented and desired to go home, so R1 made up the story to convince R1's family to take him out of an unsafe facility. V1 stated he could not be sure the incident actually occurred. Facility document provided by V1, signed 8/21/24, shows, Initially [R1] told the nurse that he was trying to sit in his chair and slid out, but later, when I spoke to [R1] about 8:00 PM [R1] said he was pushed. That [R2] was in the room and had pushed him into his chair as he was trying to stand. I asked why he hadn't said that initially to the nurse and he stated that he just remembered it. There were no injuries and ]R2] left the room immediately. On 8/21/24 at 3:00 PM, V1 stated he had not yet reported R1's allegation of abuse to IDPH. On 8/21/24, V7 (Agency LPN - Licensed Practical Nurse) stated she was first to respond to R1 on the floor on 8/18/24. V7 stated she asked R1 what happened and R1 reported that R2 shoved him while sitting in his wheelchair in his room and R1 fell out of his wheelchair as a result of the push. V7 stated when V5 came into the room to assess R1, V7 told V5 that R1 reported R2 shoved R1 and then left the room because R1 was not assigned to her that day. Progress note, written by V7 on 8/18/24, shows R1 was observed in a sitting position in front of his wheelchair as R2 was walking out of R1's room. The progress note fails to show R1 reported R2 physically touched R1. On 8/21/24 at 1:45 PM, V5 (LPN - Licensed Practical Nurse) stated at the time of the 8/18/24 incident, he located R1 on the floor in his room and stated R1 did not report that he was shoved or touched by R2 during the incident. V5 stated a nurse coworker responded to R1 first at the time of the incident. Progress note written by V5 (LPN - Licensed Practical Nurse), shows no report that R1 was physically touched by R2. The note shows R2 stated R1's chair rolled back and he slid off the chair while yelling at R2. Physician note, dated 8/19/24, shows, R1 received an X-ray of his left knee due to a fall the day prior. The note shows no acute findings were shown. Progress notes, dated 8/18/24, show the facility performed a fall risk evaluation, skin condition form related to R1's fall, and a pain evaluation assessment related to R1's reports of pain in his left front knee.
