following Tuesday (09/26/23). RCD #503 indicated AL #215 was suspended on 09/25/23 pending the
outcome of the investigation. RCD #503 stated AL #215 denied the incident of encouraging Resident #115
to get Resident #108; however, the facility felt with the witness statements of the other staff members
verifying the incident, they had to err on the side of caution related to the resident's safety and terminated
AL #215 effective on 10/17/23.
Interview with the STNA #239 on 10/26/23 at 9:19 A.M., revealed she approached the dining room when
she observed Resident #115 hit Resident #108. STNA #239 stated it happened so fast that it was hard to
tell what exactly happened. STNA #239 indicated she heard AL #215 say to Resident #115, go get her.
STNA #239 stated Resident #115 then hit Resident #100.
Interview with MHC #600 on 10/26/23 at 10:49 A.M., revealed he was standing in the hallway when he
observed an altercation between Resident #115 and Resident #108. MHC #600 stated he was able to get
the two residents separated and when he was trying to calm the two residents down, he observed AL #215
continue to agitate Resident #115 by encouraging her to get her (meaning Resident #108) and AL #215
was poking Resident #115's shoulder. MHC #600 stated AL #215 continued to agitate Resident #115, when
Resident then hit Resident #100. MHC #600 stated he wrote a statement about his observations and gave
it to the Human Resource Manager. MHC #600 stated he also spoke with the Regional Operations
Manager (ROM) #505 regarding this incident.

not see any of the incident between Residents #115 and #108 or the incident between Residents #115 and
#100. RN #188 stated he was told Resident #115 grabbed Resident #108 as she was walking in the dining
room and Resident #108 reacted to the this and Resident #115 had scratches down both sides of her face.

#108. RN #188 stated Resident #115 was agitated and hit Resident #100. RN #188 indicated Resident
#100 had no injuries.
Review of the AL #215's personnel file revealed she was hired on 05/31/23 and terminated from the
employment at the facility on 10/17/23. AL #215's employee file contained a disciplinary action dated
09/29/23 which indicated a reason for termination, flagrant poor performance indicating an irresponsible
lack of knowledge or decision-making process, resulting in measurable loss to the company, whether
monetary, in customer confidence or in employee relation issues. AL #215 was terminated following an
incident involving residents on the memory care unit. Notes indicated there was an altercation between
Resident #115 and Resident #108 and MHC #600 and STNA #239 broke it up. AL #215 was talking with
Resident #115 and taping her on the shoulder which is a trigger to Resident #115's behaviors. AL #215 was
egging her on and Resident #115 hit another resident (Resident #100). AL #215 was reported as not
calming Resident #115 down but instead agitating Resident #115 further which triggered the second
incident (Resident #115 striking Resident #100). AL #215 denied the incident and noted she was familiar
with Resident #115 since she worked with the resident at another facility. Notes indicated MHC #600 and
STNA #239 reported AL #215 further agitated Resident #115. Notes indicated the DON signed the
termination letter on 09/29/23 and it was approved by the Human Resources office effective 10/17/23.
Review of the undated facility policy titled, Ohio Abuse, Neglect, & Misappropriation, stated the it is the
intent to ensure the facility was to prevent abuse, mistreatment, or neglect of residents. The policy revealed
any allegation of abuse must be reported immediately to the Executive Director and to the state agency.
