Chicago Ridge SNF: Grievance Policy Violations - IL
The January incident began when Resident 11 started "screaming about a phone then about spoiled milk," according to a witness statement from Resident 13. The witness said he heard smacking sounds and got out of his wheelchair to investigate.
Resident 13 found Resident 11 hitting Resident 10 and "pulled R11 off R10 and stood between them to protect R10," the inspection report states. Resident 11 then left the room.
Another witness, Resident 14 who shared the room with the victim, provided a more detailed account. She told inspectors that when she walked into her room, "R11 was on top of R10 punching her in the face." The witness said other residents and nurses came into the room "trying to get him off R10."
The attacker had been refusing care and medications, according to facility records. On the day of the incident, social services staff met with Resident 11 to discuss his refusal of treatment, but he was "not receptive to counseling on taking his medications."
Inspectors noted that Resident 11 "presents with auditory hallucinations," which appeared connected to his outburst about hearing voices discussing a phone and spoiled milk.
The facility's handling of the incident resulted in a federal citation for failing to protect residents from harm. Resident 13, who intervened to stop the attack, no longer lives at the facility and could not be interviewed by inspectors.
Resident 14 provided consistent accounts of the assault in two separate interviews with investigators, confirming that the male resident was physically on top of the female victim while punching her.
The inspection found the facility failed to ensure residents were free from abuse and neglect.
