Interview on 12/26/24 at 3:00 P.M. with the Director of Mental Health Counseling (DMHC) #274 revealed Resident #2 was followed for mental health counseling and was seen on 12/12/24 after the incident. It was noted in the progress note Resident #2 presented to the session with a black eye on 12/12/24 and was under the care of mental health for depression and psychosis. DMHC #274 stated Resident #44 refused mental health counseling. Interview on 12/27/24 at 10:17 A.M. with the DON revealed Resident #44 was placed on one-on-one supervision for seven days that started 11/28/24 after the incident. On 12/07/24 Resident #2 was moved to a different room away from Resident #44. The DON stated Resident #44 did not need one-on-one supervision prior to the incident but was known to be aggressive after hitting a nurse earlier in the month of November. The DON verified Resident #44 was placed on the secured dementia unit for behaviors, but there was no evidence behavior tracking was being completed each shift on the MAR, TAR or under the behavior tracking tab in the medical record for November and December 2024. Interview on 12/27/24 at 10:36 A.M. with the DON, the Administrator and the Regional Director of Operations #271 verified a behavior care plan was not initiated until 11/19/24 after Resident #44 was physically aggressive with staff and did not update the care plan after Resident #44 was physically aggressive with Resident #2 on 11/28/24. Interview on 12/28/24 at 8:00 A.M. with Adult Protective Services Employee (APSE) #280 revealed APS was involved with Resident #44 until a court hearing scheduled for 01/22/24 as a protective gap until a legal guardian could be named. Resident #44 was cognitively impaired, so the facility had authority to make medial decisions for Resident #44's safety while in the facility until guardianship was established. Review of facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation of Resident Property, dated 10/27/17, revealed abuse was the willful infliction of injury resulting in physical harm or mental anguish. Prevention and identification of abuse included an assessment, care planning, and monitoring of residents with behaviors which might lead to conflict such as residents with history of aggressive behaviors, residents who had behaviors of entering other rooms, and residents with communication disorders. The identification of events such as suspicious bruising of residents may constitute abuse. Upon completion of an investigation the facility would determine if modifications to existing policies and procedures were needed to prevent similar incidents or injuries from occurring in the future.

This affected one resident (Resident #44) of three residents reviewed for care plans. The facility census was 71. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident #44 revealed an admission date of 10/25/24 with diagnoses including encephalopathy, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known physiological condition, unspecified dementia mild without behavioral disturbance, cognitive communication deficit, Parkinson's diseases, cannabis use, nicotine dependence, depression, and homelessness. Review of hospital documentation dated 10/22/24 to 10/25/24 revealed Resident #44 had been in the hospital after signing himself out of another facility and adult protective services became involved to assist with assigning him a legal guardian due to his poor decision making, dementia and history of homelessness. During this hospital stay Resident #44 was noted to have encephalopathy (a medical condition characterized by a general disturbance in brain function) with signs of physical and verbal aggression. He threatened to punch a nurse, pushed staff and slammed a door to obstruct the view of him from staff. Resident #44 could not be reasoned with during the incidents of aggression and had to be de-escalated with a male presence and hospital police. Resident #44 was assessed as stable for transfer to a secured facility on 10/25/24. Review of the care plan for Resident #44, date initiated 10/29/24, revealed he was a smoker and enjoyed activities that did not involve group participation. There was no behavior care plan developed for Resident #44 having a history of cognitive impairment with aggressive behaviors prior to admission. Review of a progress note dated 11/01/24 revealed Resident #44 became belligerent with the social service worker stating he did not want to be at the facility and slammed his door and refused to speak to her. His legal guardian was notified who gave instructions to keep him at the facility. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #44 had severely impaired cognition, and no behaviors present. He was independent for eating and upper body dressing and required supervision and set up assistance for lower body dressing, bathing, toileting and oral hygiene. Review of a progress note dated 11/06/24 revealed Resident #44 was throwing his lunch tray at the wall with food still on it. He was screaming and cursing at the staff and slamming the door repeatedly. The physician was notified and gave orders to send him to the emergency room for psychiatric evaluation.

The physician gave an order to send him to the emergency room and police and emergency services picked up the resident for transport. Review of a progress note dated 11/20/24 revealed the resident was readmitted to the facility in stable condition. No behaviors were noted at the time. Residents Affected - Few Review of a progress note dated 11/28/24 at 6:30 A.M. written by the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) # 227 was in the hallway when she and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) heard shouting from down the hallway. Resident #44 was noted to be angry and hostile but did not explain why. When Resident #44 was questioned and stated, I'm not telling you, I told him I was going to hit him (referring to Resident #2). Resident #44 denied pain and a skin assessment revealed no areas of notation. The police department was contacted and both Resident #2 and #44 were sent to the emergency department (ED). Upon return from the ED both residents were to remain separated, have every fifteen-minute checks for seventy-two hours and Resident #44 was a one-on-one when out of room. Adult Protective Services (APS) was contacted to request consent for psychiatric management of Resident #44 and awaiting response. Further review of the care plan for Resident #44 revealed the care plan was not updated to reflect behavioral problems of Resident #44 until 11/19/24 which included behavior problems of attempting to break a door, refusing to return to his own unit after a smoke break, aggression, making threats to leave and had physically assaulted staff. The goal was to have Resident #44 with no evidence of behavior problems. Interventions included administer medication as ordered, monitor and document side effects and effectiveness, discuss resident's behavior and explain and reinforce why the behavior was inappropriate or unacceptable, and intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others. Approach and speak in a calm manner, divert attention, remove from situation and take to alternative location as needed. Monitor behaviors episodes and attempt to determine underlying cause. Consider location, time of day, persons involved and situations, document behaviors and potential causes. There were no further updates to the care plan to reflect the incident on 11/28/24 involving Resident #44 hitting Resident #2. Interview on 12/26/24 at 1:00 P.M. with the Director or Nursing (DON) revealed the facility was aware Resident #44 had behaviors prior to admission to the facility. Resident #44 was placed on the dementia unit for behaviors. Interview on 12/27/24 at 10:36 A.M. with the DON , the Administrator and the Regional Director of Operations #271 verified a behavior care plan was not initiated until 11/19/24 after Resident #44 was physically aggressive with staff and the facility did not updated or revise the care plan after Resident #44 was physically aggressive with Resident #2 on 11/28/24. Review of facility policy titled, Care Plans Comprehensive Person Centered, revised December 2016, revealed the care plan interventions were derived from a through analysis of the information gathered as part of the comprehensive assessment and would be person centered that included measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's physical, psychological and functional needs.
