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.

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 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 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.

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 reflected in-service was conducted with all staff over topic of Reporting abuse and neglect when anyone reports abuse or neglect regardless of time frame.
