This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure Resident 1 was free
from physical abuse (an act where one person
uses their body to inflict intentional harm or
injury upon another person) when struck by
Resident 2 in the face.
This failure resulted in preventable and
unnecessary physical abuse with the potential
for emotional and mental trauma for Resident
1.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Admission Record
indicated Resident 1 was readmitted to the
facility on 5/9/2024 with diagnoses that
included difficulty in walking, type 2 diabetes
mellitus (DM2 - condition that results in too
much sugar circulating in the blood), dementia
(a condition characterized by progressive or
persistent loss of intellectual functioning) and
chronic kidney disease (CKD - longstanding
disease of the kidneys leading to failure).
A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS - a standardized resident assessment
care screening tool), dated 4/8/2024, indicated
Resident 1 with severely impaired cognitive
skills (ability to think, remember, and reason),
set up assistance level (resident completes
activity, staff assist only prior to or following the
activity) with eating and oral hygiene and
supervision/touching assistance level (staff
may provide verbal cues and/or touching
contact) for toileting, bathing and personal
hygiene.

This failure had the potential for Resident 2 to

2's "With Episode of Physical Altercation with
Another Resident" care plan revised on
6/19/2024, indicated the revised intervention of
notifying police, ombudsman, and California
Department of Public Health per facility
protocol. RNS states the care plan did not have
new interventions added for Resident 2's
physical incident with another resident
(Resident 1) on 6/19/2024 and there should
have been new interventions and goals added
for this new incident to allow staff to monitor
what is happening and the resident's behavior.
RNS stated examples of appropriate revisions
in the interventions include doing constant
checks, if aggressive separate the residents
instead of waiting and make sure they are
getting psychiatric evaluations (assesses a
person's mental health status) and proper
medications. RNS also stated without having
new goals and interventions developed and
implemented, staff cannot prevent an incident
of physical altercation from happening again
and Resident 2 could injure himself or others.
