Chicago Ridge SNF: Safety Hazard Violations - IL
The incident began when the male resident, identified as R11 in inspection records, was heard screaming about a phone and spoiled milk. R13, another resident, heard the yelling but couldn't determine who R11 was addressing. Then R13 heard smacking sounds.
R13 got out of his wheelchair to investigate and found R11 hitting R10, a female resident. R13 pulled R11 off R10 and positioned himself between them to protect her. R11 then left R10's room.
R14, who shared a room with R10, provided a more detailed account. When R14 walked into their shared room, R11 was on top of R10 punching her in the face. R14 stated that other residents and nurses eventually came to help remove R11 from R10.
The facility's social services department had met with R11 on the morning of the incident to discuss his ongoing refusal of care and medications. R11 was not receptive to counseling about taking his medications and was noted to be experiencing auditory hallucinations.
R13, who witnessed the initial attack and intervened to protect R10, no longer resides at the facility and was unavailable for follow-up interviews. R14 confirmed the same details when interviewed by inspectors, providing consistent testimony about finding R11 on top of R10 and punching her.
The inspection report notes R11's pattern of refusing care and his documented auditory hallucinations, but provides no details about what treatment or interventions the facility implemented following the attack on R10.
