Regency at Whitmore Lake: Unreported Resident Incidents - MI
Nobody on the hall had been interviewed. Not the residents who lived there. Not the staff who were working when it happened. Five months later, the resident who was kissed was still angry about it.
The incident at Regency at Whitmore Lake, a nursing facility at 8633 N Main Street, was flagged during a complaint inspection completed August 28, 2025. Federal inspectors cited the facility for failing to properly investigate and document a resident-on-resident incident that occurred March 30, 2025.
On that date, a resident identified in inspection records as R2 kissed two other residents, R1 and R3, outside the memory care unit. The facility's response was to move R2 from the memory care unit to the 100 hall and refer her to psychiatric services. A social worker was designated as the key person to oversee follow-up. The care plan was updated to include one-on-one supervision.
What the facility did not do was talk to anyone who saw it happen.
When the inspector asked Licensed Nursing Home Administrator A whether residents and staff on the hall had been interviewed, the answer was no. The administrator explained she would have had to interview all residents because R2 walks throughout the whole facility. She did not explain why that made interviews impossible rather than simply extensive.
The administrator also confirmed that while the incident was discussed in interdisciplinary team meetings, none of that discussion was documented anywhere.
By the afternoon of August 27, 2025, five months after the kissing incident, R1 was still living with the consequences. An inspector observed him leaving his room and stopping in the hallway. R1 said R2 continued to walk down his hall, which was the 200 hall, not the hall where R2 now lived. He said she kept trying to sit near him during activities. He said it pissed him off, that he got mad about it, that it upset him. He said she goes into activities and other events just to be near him, and he didn't like it. He said again: it really pissed him off.
The administrator, when asked about the continued proximity, said that if nursing staff felt R2 needed one-on-one supervision, they would pull a certified nursing assistant off the floor to stay with her. She did not say what would trigger that determination.
She said the interventions were already working.
The inspection report rated the deficiency as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting few residents. The citation fell under F0610, which covers the requirement to immediately report and investigate alleged violations involving mistreatment, neglect, or abuse.
The administrator described the facility's incident and accident reporting system as a process where nurses document the event, notify leadership and family, describe what happened, list immediate actions taken, and identify predisposing factors. She said they look at quality assurance audits and provide staff education when there's a break in process. She said they add new interventions if the current ones don't work.
She said the current ones were working.
R1, standing in the hallway of his own facility five months after being kissed without his consent, said it still pissed him off.
