grabbed her ponytail again. R1 showed her back hair that was long. R1 stated that R2 grabbed her hair
multiple times in the past. R1 said, R2 constantly abused me, and I don't feel safe. R1 stated that she is
visually impaired and does not have peripheral vision, and that it is hard for her to see R2 when coming
from her side. R1 pointed to the stick that she uses to guide her when she walks. R1 stated that pulling of
her hair also happened in the smoking area when R2 grabbed her ponytail, and that staff did not monitor
R2 because R2 was in the smoking area although R2 does not smoke. R1 stated that R2 was able to go
inside her room around 12:15 AM and that made her (R1) scared of her safety. R1 stated that there are two
(2) other residents, R3 and R4, that had also experienced physical aggression from R2. R1 stated that she
spoke to V5 (Social Service Worker) about being transferred to another facility last October or November,
but nothing has been done. R1 said, I spoke to V5 the social worker, who told me, this is his (V5) exact
words, bear with us, we are trying to find another place for her (R2). R1 stated that she has been in the
facility for three (3) years, and she does not feel safe.

On 12/17/2024 at 02:50 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated that another incident happened over the weekend,
on Saturday (12/14/2024), when R2 pulled R1's ponytail. According to V1 none of the facility staff told her
about what happened and that V6 (Registered Nurse) was expected to report to her (V1) any incident or
allegation of abuse. V1 states that the facility does not have any designated abuse coordinator during the
weekend because she still accepts calls. When she came on Monday (12/16/24), before she left for the day,
R1 told her about the incident that R2 pulled her hair. V1 said, that was the time I knew that R2 pulled the
hair of R1. V1 then said that she did a grievance form for R1. V1 was asked why she did not do a reportable
after she knew what happened between R1 and R2. V1 replied that abuse incident or allegation needs to
be reported immediately or within 2 hours upon knowing of the incident. Since the incident happened on
12/14/2024, it was too late to report and investigate. V1 stated that the incident that happened on
12/14/2024 between R1 and R2 was abuse, because R1 does not like what was being done to her. V1
states that the act of R2 to R1 causes an effect on R1, physically or mentally. Per V1 one on one monitoring
to R2 is ongoing and R2's transfer to the hospital for a psych eval will take place when there is an available
bed. V1 stated that currently R2 is being monitored one on one, and arrangement is being made to transfer
R2 to the hospital for psych evaluation. V1 was informed that based on documentation in R2's behavioral
notes the incident of R2 pulling R1's hair happened on Sunday, 12/15/2024 (same as R1's statement) not
Saturday (12/14/2024). V1 said that she will correct her documentation.
On 12/17/2024 at 03:49 PM, V6 (Registered Nurse) stated that the incident between R1 and R2 on
12/15/24 happened around 09:30 AM, the time she was passing medication. V6 stated that she heard R1
yelling. V6 said, I saw R1 behind R2 and R1 said R2 pulled my hair. So, I just did 1 on 1 monitor. I need to
report, I knew R1 was telling the truth, but I forgot to tell. V6 stated she just documented the incident and
did not report to her supervisor. Per V6 abuse incidents need to be reported immediately but forgot to report
it. V6 stated that abuse happened when R2 pulled the hair of R1, and it needs to be reported immediately.
Per V6 the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) assigned to R2 was attending to another resident during the
incident.
On 12/18/2024 at 09:37 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing) stated that incidents like pulling of R1's hair will affect
R1 mentally. V3 said, If I were in her (R1) shoes, I will feel scared too. V3 stated that it may lead to more
aggressive actions than pulling of hair. V3 reviewed the full care plan of R1, and after review, V3 said, I don't
see anything that addresses abuse incidents. V3 said that the care plan should be done for both because
both residents (R1 and R2) are affected.

R1's care plan does not address R2's aggressive behavior towards R1. V5's (Director of Social Services)
psychosocial notes do not document any of R1's incidents with R2.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
On 12/18/2024 at 12:06 PM, V5 (Director of Social Services) stated that all of his notes are under
psychosocial and were written in general. V5 was asked about R1's psychosocial notes and why all the
notes do not address any incidents from R1's encounter with R2. V5 stated that the last time he saw R1
was 11/7/2024 and there were no particular concerns for R1. V5 was asked about addressing the abuse
incidents that R1 encountered in the care plan's intervention to prevent further abuse from occurring. V5
stated that since R1 is not at risk for doing abuse or does not participate back during a physical aggression,
a general statement of at risk of abuse behavior was placed. V5 was asked if interventions were placed in
R1's care plan would it help to prevent another incident of abuse from happening. V5 did not directly answer
the question. V5 stated that if he only knew R1 felt unsafe or scared, he would go out of his way to transfer
R1 into another facility. V5 was informed that the incidents of R1 and R1 expressing feelings of unsafety
and fear were documented in the behavioral notes and were readily accessible. V5 did not comment. V5
was asked how he would feel if the same thing happened to him. V5 stated that he would be scared too,
and added, Next time I will do better.

is moderately impaired with BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) of 9 dated 09/05/2024. On 12/17/24
between 12:05 PM to 03:20 PM R2 was seen in the hallway, sitting on a chair, and wandering. Every time
R2 goes to a specific direction, facility staff goes to redirect. It takes multiple staff to monitor and/or redirect
R2. R2 was not able to be redirected at times.
On 12/17/2024 at 02:50 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated that another incident happened over the weekend,
on Saturday (12/14/2024), when R2 pulled R1's ponytail. According to V1 none of the facility staff told her
about what happened and that V6 (Registered Nurse) was expected to report to her (V1) any incident or
allegation of abuse. V1 stated that the incident that happened on 12/14/2024 between R1 and R2 was
abuse, because R1 does not like what was being done to her. V1 states that the act of R2 to R1 causes an
effect on R1, physically or mentally. V1 was informed that based on documentation in R2's behavioral notes
the incident of R2 pulling R1's hair happened on Sunday, 12/15/2024 (same as R1's statement) not
Saturday (12/14/2024). V1 said that she will correct her documentation.
On 12/18/2024 at 09:37 AM, V3 (Director of Nursing) state that incidents like pulling of R1's hair will affect
R1 mentally. V3 said, If I were in her (R1) shoes, I will feel scared too. V3 stated that it may lead to a more
aggressive actions than pulling of hair. V3 reviewed the full care plan of R1, and after review, V3 said, I don't
see anything that addresses abuse incidents. V3 said that care plan should be done for both because both
residents (R1 and R2) are affected.
R1's care plan does not address R2's aggressive behavior toward R1. V5's (Director of Social Services)
psychosocial notes do not document any of R1's incidents with R2.
On 12/18/2024 at 12:06 PM, V5 (Director of Social Services) stated that all of his notes are under
psychosocial and were written in general. V5 was asked about R1's psychosocial notes and why all the
notes do not address any incidents from R1's encounter with R2. V5 stated that the last time he saw R1
was 11/7/2024 and there were no particular concerns for R1. V5 was asked about addressing the abuse
incidents that R1 encountered in the care plan's intervention to prevent further abuse from occurring. V5
stated that since R1 is not at risk for doing abuse or does not participate back during a physical aggression,
a general statement of at risk of abuse behavior was placed. V5 was asked if interventions were placed in
R1's care plan would it help to prevent another incident of abuse from happening. V5 did not directly answer
the question. V5 stated that if he only knew R1 felt unsafe or scared, he would go out of his way to transfer
R1 into another facility. V5 was informed that the incidents of R1 and R1 expressing feelings of unsafety
and fear were documented in the behavioral notes and were readily accessible. V5 did not comment. V5
was asked how he would feel if the same thing happened to him. V5 stated that he would be scared too,
and added, Next time I will do better.
Behavioral Assessment, Intervention and Monitoring policy dated 01/04/2024, reads:
Under general guidelines, behavior is the response of an individual to a wide variety of factors. These
factors may include psychosocial, emotional, psychiatric, or environmental causes. The interdisciplinary
team will thoroughly evaluate new or changing behavioral symptoms in order to identify underlying causes
and address any modifiable factors that may have contributed to the resident's change in condition,
including emotional, psychiatric and/or psychological stressors for example anxiety; and/or fear. Under
management, the interdisciplinary team will evaluate behavior symptoms in the resident to determine the
degree of severity, distress, and potential safety risk of the resident, and develop a plan of care accordingly.
Safety strategies will be implemented immediately if necessary to protect the resident and others from
harm. The care plan will incorporate findings from the comprehensive assessment and be consistent with
current standards of practice.
