Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect residents' rights to be free
from physical abuse by a resident for one of three sampled residents (Resident 11) when Resident 12
struck Resident 11 on the left side of her face. This failure resulted in Resident 11 sustaining a left
Zygomatic Arch (cheek bone area) fracture , Left Orbital (bone area around eye) wall fracture, and
contusion (swelling) on the left side of her face. Findings: A record review of Resident 11's History and
Physical (H & P, an assessment completed by a medical provider) dated 5/7/25 indicated, Resident 11 was
admitted with multiple diagnoses including Vascular dementia (A usually progressive condition marked by
the development of multiple cognitive deficits with abrupt or gradual onset that is caused by
cerebrovascular disease), Dementia related behaviors, Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke) in 2016, history
of Panic Attacks (a sudden feeling or episode of panic), history of Possible Anxiety Disorder (any of various
disorders in which anxiety is a predominant feature).During a concurrent observation and interview on
7/22/25 at 3:40 PM, in Resident 11's room, Resident 11 was observed lying in bed yelling loudly Who are
you?! I don't want to be here! I don't want to be here! while attempting to climb out of her bed. COACH 1 (a
person assigned to a resident for close supervision) was sitting at bedside and reassured Resident 11 she
was in her room and it was time to rest. COACH 1 reported throughout the day, she assists Resident 11
with eating, dressing, incontinence (inability of the body to control the evacuative functions of urination or
defecation) care, and preventing falls. At 3:46 PM, the Activity Therapist (ACT1) entered the room and
introduced himself to Resident 11. Resident 11 yelled loudly Who are you? I'm scared! while holding on to
his hand. ACT1 reassured resident she was safe and asked if she was in pain. Resident 11 stated, Yes! I
hurt! My back, my leg, my face!. A review of the Resident 11's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standard
assessment tool) dated 5/20/25, indicated a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS, a brief memory test to
help determine cognitive function [includes thinking, learning, and decision making ability] score of 4 out of
15 (scores of 0-7 suggests severe cognitive impairment). A further review of Resident 11's MDS indicates
Resident 11 has verbal behavioral symptoms not directed towards others that include rummaging,
verbal/vocal symptoms like screaming, and disruptive sounds that occurred 1 to 3 days of the week. During
a concurrent interview and record review on 7/24/25 at 2:09 PM with the Social Worker (MSW1), LHH MSW
Resident Encounter Note dated 6/18/25 was reviewed. The resident encounter note indicated Resident 12
was transferred from a secured psych unit (this unit serves a psych population that requires. locked,
psychiatric emergency, violent, self-harm, harm to others) from [Hospital A] with past behavioral history that
included assault, wandering (a going about from place to place), suicidal ideation (the act of considering or
planning suicide), and homicidal ideation (of, relating to, or tending toward homicide. Resident 12 always
required a COACH at bedside and two personnel for direct care, due to assault risk at [Hospital A] and his
history of violence (aggressive, assault, and combative), requiring wrist and vest restraints (a device that

restricts movement) due to assault risk and history of endangerment or harm to others. Resident 12's
former case manager reported Resident 12 had one episode of attacking someone with a pipe at a
community clinic five years ago and he made occasional verbal threats. Recommendations from the
[Hospital A] Registered nurse included providing space, when he is observed pacing or hyperventilating
which provides relief. MSW1 stated resident encounter note was a brief summary of Resident 12's overall
background, used to make recommendations for his care. During an interview on 7/23/25 at 3:01PM with
Nursing Supervisor (SUP1), SUP1 stated the general practice for residents admitted with prior history of
physical violence towards others requires a committee review and acceptance process. SUP1 stated
Resident 12's preadmission screening (assessment to determine residents appropriateness prior to
admission) was completed by the Clinical Nurse Specialist (an advanced practice registered nurse that
provides consultation services for complex patient care needs) and Neuropsychologist (a doctor that is
concerned with the integration of psychological observations on behavior and the mind). During an
interview on 7/23/25 at 9:01 AM with the Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), the CNS stated Resident 12's
behavior trigger (to cause an intense and usually negative emotional reaction in someone) was
documented as Too much stimulation. The CNS stated Resident 12's identified triggers included, Too much
stimulation, does not do well in groups, females were a trigger .and loud noises. He does well in a peaceful
non stimulating environment. When asked what the patient population on the unit where both residents 11
and 12 resided, the CNS reported many residents have disruptive behaviors due to dementia with a wide
range of functional abilities. The CNS added Resident 12 had a COACH for close monitoring/supervision
but was stopped on 7/7/25, due to increased irritability and agitation.During a concurrent interview and
record review on 7/24/25 at 4:13 PM with a Registered Nurse (RN1), a document titled Change of
Condition Nursing Note dated 7/15/25 was reviewed. The Change of Condition Nursing Note indicated,
Resident 12 had a recent change of condition (COC) involving physical aggression towards a visitor, when
Resident 12 went after the visitor in anger causing a minor injury to the visitor. RN1 stated, A coach was
assigned to him, but he became aggressive and was combative to the coach. The coach was stopped
because he was angry due to the coach. He would be okay then instantly become violent and aggressive.
During an interview on 7/24/25 at 2:09 PM with MSW1, MSW1 stated she was made aware of Resident
12's COC (physical aggression towards a visitor) on 7/15/25 via voicemail left by a licensed nurse. When
asked if any updates were made to Resident 12's care plan, MSW1 stated I was not really clear on what
actually happened, so I could not follow up. MSW1 stated no attempts were made to contact the reporting
licensed nurse to gain further details of the COC. MSW1 acknowledged, updates to Resident 12's
psychosocial care plan would have been made if it pertained to his level of wellbeing and adjustment.
During an interview on 7/29/25 at 1:12 PM with Nurse Manager (NM), NM stated staff were made aware of
Resident's 12's past aggressive physical behaviors, but due to his dementia he no longer was violent. NM
defined triggers as Anything that will make somebody to behave in an abnormal way and recalled Resident
12's triggers included loud noise, women and hunger. NM confirmed he was made aware of the COC
reported on 7/15/25 and verified the COC was discussed in daily huddle the next morning, but no resident
care team meeting was coordinated in the daily huddle because MSW1 was still trying to follow up with the
individual. When asked if there were any interventions implemented that decreased the likelihood of violent
behaviors towards others, NM stated, If he (Resident 12) is exhibiting physical aggression then you leave
him alone and go back later. which was communicated to the staff that provided care for Resident 12.
During an interview on 7/24/25 at 3:43 PM with a personal care attendant (PCA, a person who provides
resident's care), the PCA stated she was made aware of Resident 12's identified triggers with loud noises
and bright lights. He

becomes overwhelmed right away and wants to be left alone. The PCA stated Resident 11' s daily
behaviors included yelling and making loud noises when awake. Prior to the incident, the PCA reported
Resident 11 was sitting in the Great Room (dining area) yelling loudly, then PCA heard screaming and
commotion. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 4:13 PM with a Registered Nurse (RN1) , RN1 stated prior to
the incident Resident 11 was yelling loudly non- stop while sitting in the great room. When asked if Resident
12 was triggered by other residents with loud disruptive behaviors, RN1 stated Yes. During an interview on
7/24/25 at 2:25 PM with a Registered Nurse (RN2), RN2 stated they were familiar with Resident 12's care
and prior to the assault, witnessed Resident 12 mumbling to himself I'm tired and I'm sick and pacing back
and forth in the great room, while resident 11 was yelling loudly. RN2 stated, He (Resident 12) was telling
me I'm tired and sick of this noise, then he suddenly ran over to her (Resident 11) then he just hit her on the
left side of face. RN2 stated she was aware of resident 12's identified triggers including loud noises and
disruptive behaviors. RN2 stated, He (Resident 12) does not like noise. If he hears noise, he becomes
easily agitated. RN2 stated both Resident 11 and 12 were in great room for approximately 30 minutes prior
to the incident. When asked if she believes Resident 11's loud yelling triggered Resident 12's aggressive
behavior, RN2 replied Yes. During an interview on 7/24/25 at 3:43 PM with the PCA, the PCA stated she
took Resident 11 to her room and provided first aid care after the incident. The PCA stated, She was in so
much pain, she was crying, and saying how do I look? She said she was so scared. During an interview on
7/24/25 at 2:25 PM with RN2, RN2 stated Resident 11 reported feeling scared following incident and had
visible injuries that included a swollen left eye, purple discoloration to left side of her face, and bleeding
from left eyebrow. During an interview with Resident 11's RP on 7/23/25 at 1:36 PM, RP stated, After
Resident 11 was assaulted she still remembers a lot of things (from the assault), and she is scared and
terrified since she has walked back in the door, she has lost all of her fire. It's so sad. The RP provided
additional details regarding Resident 11's multiple facial fractures and her permanent facial damage, based
on the report given from the plastic surgeon consult while in the hospital. Due to her (Resident 11) age and
stuff, they said it would not be good to do surgery. RP further stated, Resident 11 was able to walk around
with minimal assistance, feed herself, and able to use phone to call family. Now they said she cannot do
anything. She has lost all independence since the incident. During a review of Resident's 11 ED
