F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 a resident (R2) from abuse.

(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few received counseling and requested to refrain from this behavior. However, I do not accept responsibility and falsely alleging I am the victim in the situations I have initiated. The facility's undated Final Abuse Investigation Report showed, Residents (R2) and (R1) both attending community bingo event. Sudden verbal altercation immediately followed by physical aggression when (R1) struck (R2). Staff immediately separated the residents . On 10/24/24 at 9:46AM, R2 stated, We play bingo every few days and we always have the same seats. I got up to go to the bathroom before we started and when I came back (R1) was in my spot. I asked him if he was going to sit there and he said, Not if your stinky a** is going to sit here. I said, Whoa why are you talking like that? and then he punched me in the face five times. My lip was bleeding and bruised but that was it. It's over now but I'm tired of being beat up. On 10/24/24 10:15AM, R1 stated, They put me at (R2's) table and he wasn't there. When he walked up to me, he sat down and was running his mouth, so I punched him in the face a few times. He was bleeding a little from his lip but that's all. I don't feel bad because he has been messing with me for about a year now. I have had enough .I meant to hit him, and it was intended to hurt him specifically. It wasn't a random event. On 10/24/24 at 11:10AM, V5 (Registered Nurse) stated, I was the only staff that witnessed the altercation between (R1) and (R2). I was at the nurse's station while the residents were getting ready to play bingo. (R2) and (R1) were at a middle table in the dining room and they started arguing and yelling at each other. (R2) said something like, Bring it on and before we could get to them, (R1) hit (R2) at least 4 times in the head and face. We separated them immediately and (R2) had some blood coming from his lip and his lip got bruised. We sent (R1) out to the hospital a few days later for a psychiatric evaluation and they added a new medication for him to control his anger. On 10/24/24 at 1:14PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated, I was here the day of the altercation between (R1) and (R2). I heard commotion but by the time I got to the dining room, they were already separated. (R2) said to (R1), My sister hits harder than you. I gave (R2) an ice pack because he was bleeding and had a swollen lip. They have not had any issues since this altercation, and we try to redirect them when they are in the same vicinity. I am not the abuse coordinator, but I see where (R1's) actions are viewed as willful and intentional. The facility's policy titled, Abuse Prevention Program dated 10-2022 showed, This facility is committed to protecting our residents from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property and mistreatment by anyone including, but no limited to, facility staff, other residents, consultants, volunteers, staff from other agencies providing services to the individual, family members or legal guardians, friends, or any other individuals Abuse means any physical or mental injury or sexual assault inflicted upon a resident other than by accidental means.
