During an interview on 8/12/2025 at 1:18 PM, Hospitality Aide B said Resident #1 liked to go and lay on the couch in the TV room. She said on 6/26/2025, Resident #1 was walking into the TV room with his walker when Resident #2 told Resident #1 to watch her feet. She said Resident #1 then picked up his walker and hit Resident #2 on the knee. She said Resident #2 called out oh don't hit me, why are you hitting me. She said she told Resident #1 that was not nice, and Resident #1 picked up his walker and started chasing her and calling her names. She said the Administrator came and tried to calm Resident #1 down and he went ballistic on her. She said Resident #1 began going after the Administrator because she told him that he needed to go to his room. During an interview on 8/12/2025 at 1:34 PM, Resident #2 said the Administrator had told Resident #1 that he was not allowed to sleep on the couch in the TV room anymore. She said, on 6/26/2025, Resident #1 came into the TV room and was on the couch and she told him that he was not allowed to sleep on the couch anymore and he got up and hit her. She said he hit her across her waist where her [NAME] pack was, and across her quilted jacket and because she had on her [NAME] pack she did not get hurt. She said the Administrator came and tried to calm down Resident #1 and he went after her. She said the Administrator sent Resident #1 out of the facility and she had not seen him since. During an interview on 8/13/2025 at 10:14 AM, the Administrator said she had told Resident #1 that he could not sleep on the couch in the TV room anymore. She said Resident #1 came through the TV room, and when Resident #2 said something to Resident #1, he took his walker and pushed it in to Resident #2's walker which hit her leg. She said Hospitality Aide B told Resident #1 that he could not hit Resident #2's walker and he picked up his walker shaking it and going after Hospitality Aide B. She said she tried to calm Resident #1 down and Resident #1 got mad and began shaking his walker at her. She said eventually Resident #1 went down the hall to his room. She said Resident #2's room was very close to Resident #1's room, so she spoke with Resident #2 and they agreed that it would be best if she changed rooms for the night. The Administrator said the reason she chose to change Resident #2's room and not Resident #1's was because due to Resident #1's cognition and him knowing where his room was and felt it would keep Resident #1 from becoming more agitated. She said Resident #1 was discharged to the behavioral hospital the following day and the facility did not accept Resident #1 back.
