FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Based on medical record review, facility self-reported incident (SRI) and investigation review, staff interview,
facility policy and procedure review, and review of facility corrective action, the facility failed to prevent
resident to resident abuse and failed to ensure Resident #20 was free from visitor-to-resident physical
abuse. Actual harm occurred on 01/03/24 when during a resident-to resident-altercation involving Resident
#20 and Resident #39 in Resident #39's room, a visitor in Resident #39's room, began swinging a dust mop
in an attempt to get Resident #20 away from Resident #39 and struck Resident #20 on the head. Resident
#20 sustained an open area to the top of the head that required Resident #20 to be transported to a local
emergency room for evaluation and staples were applied to the open area. This affected two residents (#20
and #35) of three residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 40.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Review of a facility SRI and investigation dated 01/03/24 at 3:47 P.M. revealed Residents #20 and Resident
#35 had a verbal argument in the common area of the facility secured memory care unit. Resident #20
walked away, and Resident #35 followed him to another resident 's (Resident #39) room. In Resident #39's
room, Resident #20 hit Resident #35 on his right arm resulting in no injuries. Resident #39 then pulled
Resident #35 towards her away from Resident #20. In response, Resident #20 struck Resident #39 who fell
to the floor with no injury noted. Resident #39 then struck Resident #20 in return with no injuries noted. A
visitor in Resident #39's during this altercation used a dust mop in attempt to break up Resident #20 and
Resident #39 and inadvertently swung the dust mop hitting Resident #20 on the head. A staff member was
present and intervened to separate all individuals. All three (#20, #35, and #39) residents involved were
assessed with Resident #35 and Resident #39 sustaining no injuries. Resident #20 received an open area
to the top of the head that was bleeding. Resident #20 was transported to a local emergency room (ER) for
an evaluation, and the open area was treated in the ER with staples to close the wound. A computed
tomography scan (commonly referred to as a CT scan used to obtain images of the internal portions of the
body) completed in the ER revealed no negative results. Resident #20 returned to the facility and
neurological checks continued without deficits. Immediately following the altercation, Resident #39's visitor
denied hitting Resident #20 and reported she was trying to keep Resident #20 away from her mom
(Resident #39). Resident #39's visitor was escorted out of the facility and the dust mop removed from the
room. Staff remained with Resident #20 until he was transferred to the hospital. All physicians and
responsible parties were notified for all three (#20, #35, and #39) residents involved in the altercation. The
local police department was notified and arrived at the facility at 3:23 P.M. on 01/03/24.
Interview with the Administrator on 01/26/24 at 9:55 A.M. verified all the events of the SRI dated 01/03/24
involving Resident #20, Resident #35, and Resident #39.
Review of the policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation & Misappropriation of Resident Property, dated
10/01/20, revealed the facility will not tolerate abuse, neglect, and exploitation of its residents or the
misappropriation of resident property.
As a results of the incident, the facility implemented the following corrective actions to correct the deficient
practice by 01/04/24:
•
On 01/03/24 at approximately 2:15 P.M., Resident #39's visitor was instructed by the Director of Nursing
(DON) to leave the facility and not to return pending the results of the investigation. Resident #39's visitor
was escorted out the facility by the DON and the dust mop removed from Resident #39's room.
•
On 01/03/24, immediately following the incident Resident #20, Resident #35, and Resident #39 were
assessed for injury. Resident #20 received a laceration to the head which was cleansed and covered with a
foam dressing. The physician was notified, and Resident #20 was sent to the ER for an evaluation. Facility
staff remained with Resident #20 until emergency services arrived at 2:26 P.M. A message was left for
Resident #20's guardian to return call, and a return call was received at 7:05 P.M. and the guardian was
made aware of the incident by the DON. Resident #20's guardian requested that charges be filed against
Resident #39's family member. Resident #35 and Resident #39 were assessed with no injuries or concerns.
Resident #35 and Resident #39's physicians and responsible parties were
