R2's admission Record indicated R2 was a [AGE] year-old male with a diagnosis of dementia and schizophrenia. On 11/1/23 at 11:05 AM, R1 was asked if he felt safe in the building. R1 shrugged his shoulders indicating he did not know. R1 pointed to R2 and said he was punched by R2. R1 indicated he was punched in the right eye/cheek area. R1 said it hurt when he was punched.
