F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm R5's Progress Notes dated 5/23/22 at 1:18 PM, documents, Resident's wife (R6) was in their doorway yelling, 'Help, Help'. (R5) observed sitting in front of his closet with his legs extended and his back against the drawers. (R6) said, 'He just kind of slid down'. (R5) was wearing tennis shoes and the floor was dry. He was not wearing his glasses. (R6) had clothes on the bed that she was packing up and a small side table was sitting a few feet in front of the closet.

On 8/18/22 at 9:27 AM, V2 (Interim Director of Nursing) stated, We never really gave it a thought that (R6) may be the reason for (R5) falling related to her aggression. Honestly, when we would go into the room after (R5's)falls, there were hazards that (R6) had created. (R6) would turn off nightlights, cover the fall alarm and pack up items and then leaves them on the floor in areas he would trip over. (R6) was a safety hazard for (R5). (R6) was moved out of (R5')s room June 14th, 2022, due to his falls, her aggression and (R6) being possibly the cause of (R5's) falls. (R5) has had no falls since (R6) was moved. On 8/18/22 at 10:12 AM, V1 (Administrator) confirmed that R6 was causing R5 to fall multiple times. V1 stated, During that 6/9/22 fall that was completely (R6), trying to get (R5) to shave or help him shave. Which resulted in the cord being on the floor and (R5) falling. (R5) would not have gotten up and done those things on his own. (R6) was for sure his hazard. (R6) would tell him to get up and get ready and start packing items up in his room. We separated them after more aggressive behaviors were seen (from R6). Since (R6) has been moved, (R5) has not fallen (over two months' time).
