Level of Harm - Actual harm
met up with Resident #35 at the nurse's station where he saw Resident #35 bleeding. RN #338 followed the
blood drops that were on the floor which led to Resident #31's room. RN #338 interviewed Resident #31
and asked why Resident #35 was bleeding and Resident #31 showed no concerns and said he did not
know.
Residents Affected - Few
Review of a facility witness statement dated 02/13/24 from STNA #315 revealed she was at the nurse's
station charting and at 6:28 A.M. she heard someone state that Resident #35 was bleeding. STNA #315
saw Resident #35 walking towards the nurse's station with blood dripping from his head.
Review of a facility witness statement from STNA #300 dated 02/13/24 revealed she had last seen
Resident #35 around 6:20 A.M. as he was walking and wandering the halls continuously as he did not
sleep.
Review of witness statement from Resident #31 revealed that after 3:00 A.M. Resident #35 came into
Resident #31's room and started taking his reacher and hit Resident #31 on the left side of the head and
neck. Resident #31 then took the reacher from him and hit him (Resident #35) on top of his head.
Interview on 02/20/24 at 3:08 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed Resident #35 showed
behavioral signs of wandering following admission. The DON revealed she felt Resident #35's plan of care
did address the resident's wandering/behavioral health needs by staff keeping a close eye on him.
However, based on the investigation completed, the facility failed to develop and implement a
comprehensive, individualized and effective plan of care for all residents (including Resident #35 and #31)
to address behaviors including wandering and to prevent resident-to-resident altercations. There was no
evidence the facility had measures in place to proactively prevent the situations identified affecting the
resident's total care needs; the facility plan was simply reactive to Resident #35's wandering behaviors and
not preventative.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00151262 and
Self-Reported Incident Control Number OH00151103.
