F 0600 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few On 5/6/25 at 1:10 PM R2 stated, I was attacked one morning while I was eating breakfast. This man out of nowhere started hitting me all in my head, face, and chest areas. I fell out of my chair on to the floor. I was yelling for help. The nurse stopped R1 from hitting me and helped me off the floor. I was in shock and scared. I did not know what was happening or why I was attacked. My head, face, and chest were hurting me, and I felt so humiliated, embarrassed, depressed, and scared that R1 might get mad at me because he was sent out to the hospital. I felt bad about myself, I did not know why me? Why was I attacked by this man in front of every one [residents] to see me get beat up for no reason. I cried for days every time I thought about what happened to me. They moved him to another floor. I feel safe here, but I will be nervous that I might see him again, I do not want to get beat up anymore. On 5/7/25 at 10:00 AM V3 [Licensed Practical Nurse] stated, On 3/27/25, I was in the dining room administering medications. I notice R1 moving fast, anxious, and pacing back and forth in the dining room. My intuition told me something was not right with R1. I should have removed R1 from the dining area or called extra staff for assistance, I was the only staff member in the dining area. I continue to administer medications; I could not focus all my attention on R1. Then I heard R2 say something, I am not sure what she said, but it was loud. When I looked up, I saw R1 with his hand raised up in the air standing over R2 as she was sitting in a chair, R1 started hitting R2. R1 was hitting her in the head, shoulder, and chest areas. I started to scream 'stop it, stop it' as I ran over to R2. R1 did stop striking R2 and I got R2 out of the chair to remove her from the area. During the time R1 was hitting R2, she was screaming to the top of her lungs and crying. R2 was just crying uncontrollably, she [R2] was mortified and devastated. All I could do was hug R2 trying to console her. R2 did not complain of any pain, she was just yelling out crying for quite some time, she really was not talking or answering my questions, she could not stop crying. I phoned R1 and R2's physicians, I received an order to petition R1 out for psych evaluation. I also notified the abuse coordination [V1] administrator of the incident. Moving forward I will act on my intuition and changes in resident behavior to remove the resident away from other residents to prevent an altercation. On 5/7/234 11:10 AM, V11 [Certified Nurse Assistant] stated, The day of the incident between R1 and R2, I was providing ADL care to another resident in their room. I heard screaming, and the nurse started calling my name. I ran into the dining room and saw R1 walking away from R2. She [R2] was yelling and crying. I stayed with R2, and the nurse called R1's physician. On 5/7/25 at 9:40 AM, V4 [Social Service Director] stated, R1 has a history of physical aggression. Upon R1's admission R1 appeared to be calm, but also exhibited inappropriate behaviors of physical touching, grabbing, of staff when being assisted with ADL's. I was not present during the altercation between R1 and R2, I heard R1 was hitting R2. R1 was petition out for psych evaluation. R1 had two other incidents of physical aggression toward other residents. R1 was sent out for another psych eval from a physical altercation with another resident and returned to the facility on 5/5/2. R1 is monitored one to one by social service staff. I am trying to find a nursing facility that can meet R1's needs. We will be monitoring R1 closely. On 5/7/25 at 3:40 PM, V1 [Administrator] stated, R1 and R2 had a physical altercation, V3 told me that R1 walked over and punched R2 in the chest area, while R2 was sitting in a chair. While R2 was being punched she did no retaliate or hit R1 back she did not do anything. R1 said that R2 was cursing, and he wanted her stop. R1 was petition out for psych evaluation. R1 has a history of physical aggression with other residents in the facility. Until we find placement, R1 is on one-to-one supervision to ensure the safety of other residents. All new hire receives abuse training during orientation. All staff received abuse training annually and as needed.
