days afterward. She noted that, although no further incidents occurred, she did not feel safe remaining in
the same room with her previous roommate. Resident #1 expressed that she felt more comfortable after
moving to her current room.During a telephone interview on 02/26/26 at 1:34 PM, the FM reported that
Resident #1 disclosed the incident to her the day after it occurred, during a visit. The FM stated she had
reported the incident to a staff member working on the floor on the same day but was unable to recall the
staff member's name or role within the facility. She further indicated that the ADM recently discussed the
incident with her and instructed her to report any complaints, preferably directly to the administrator rather
than to other staff members on the floor. The FM expressed that this approach was new to her, as she
previously believed she could report concerns to any staff member. She noted that no injuries or visible
harm resulted from the incident and expressed satisfaction that the facility took steps to relocate Resident
#1 away from the alleged perpetrator. She added, however, it would have been better if the roommate was
removed from the room rather than Resident #1 moving to a different room. The FM stated she was
generally satisfied with the care and services provided to Resident #1 at the facility thus far.During an
interview on 02/26/26 at 11:10 AM CNA A stated that approximately few weeks prior, while changing
Resident #1, the resident indicated that her roommate had hit her at some point in the past. CNA A stated
that she did not inquire about the specific timing of the incident, nor did she ask the resident for more
details. She said that she initially took the report lightly, as Resident #1 was discussing other topics and
laughed it off. She stated that Resident #1 reported to her that she had previously reported the incident to
other staff members at the time that had occurred, though she did not disclose their names. CNA A
explained she had chosen to not to report the incident to AC because of Resident #1's statement that she
reported about the incident to other CNAs, also it was in the past, and the resident did not appear to be
upset about it at the time. CNA A recognized the ADM as the AC and acknowledged that she later received
a one-on-one in-service from the AC. She stated she understood that her failure to report the allegation was
a mistake. CNA A stated she learned that any allegation of abuse, regardless of when it occurred, should
be reported to the AC.During an interview on 02/26/26 at 2:30 PM, the DON reported that she learned of
the allegation through the SW. The DON stated, the LPC had informed the SW that, on 02/17/26, during a
session with Resident #1, the resident disclosed that her roommate had assaulted her approximately two
weeks earlier by smacking her in the face. However, upon further inquiry by the ADM, Resident #1 clarified
that her roommate had hit her on the thigh and not on the face, several weeks prior. The DON said, since
the roommate did not want to move out of the room, they asked if she wanted to move rooms, Resident #1
expressed a desire to do so and was promptly relocated. The DON stated Resident #1 reported feeling safe
at the facility and was satisfied with the room change. The DON said when the roommate was interviewed,
she denied ever hitting Resident #1, stating that although they had disagreements, she had never
physically assaulted her. She said, both residents were under psychiatric care, with no prior documentation
of such incidents in their sessions. The DON stated, the psychiatric team continued to monitor and followed
up with both residents and during a follow-up psychiatric assessment on 02/19/26, Resident #1 was
specifically asked about the alleged assault. The DON said, Resident #1 did not confirm any physical
aggression and instead focused on property disputes and reported feeling happier and safer in her new
room. The DON said on 02/17/26 the FM of Resident #1 was contacted and informed of the incident and
room change. The FM acknowledged that Resident #1 had previously mentioned being hit in the face but
explained she did not report it because she was not hurt. The FM was advised of the importance of
reporting such incidents promptly and verbally committed to doing so in the future, even for minor concerns.

questionnaires completed after the incident revealed that CNA A had briefly mentioned that Resident #1
had reported the incident weeks earlier to her, noting it as a distant past event. The DON stated that CNA A
said she did not report this incident to anyone in the facility as the incident had happened in the past. A
one-on-one in-service was conducted with CNA A emphasizing the necessity of reporting all potential
abuse, regardless of timing, to ensure proper documentation and investigation per facility policy. The DON
stated she performed a comprehensive skin assessment on both residents, confirming no abnormalities
from baseline. The DON said she conducted resident safety surveys to all residents in the 800 hall,
including Resident #1, which showed no concerning trends. Additionally, staff training sessions on abuse,
neglect, reporting procedures, and de-escalation techniques for residents with behavioral issues were
implemented to improve staff awareness and response. When the investigator clarified that the FM was
instructed by the ADM to report incidents directly to the administrator rather than to floor staff, the DON
stated that this was inappropriate. She emphasized that residents and their families had the right to report
concerns to any staff member, and it was the staff member's responsibility to escalate and report such
complaints to the appropriate authority.An interview with ADM on 02/26/26 at 2:30pm was unsuccessful as
she was on leave and was not accessible via mobile phone.Record review of in-service dated 02/17/26
