The CM stated Resident 2 became visibly shaken up just by the mention of FM 4 being in the vicinity of the facility. The CM stated the first instance FM 4 entered the facility on 3/18/2025, she (the CM) was alerted a male was in Resident 2's room being disruptive so she went to investigate and informed FM 4 he was not welcome at the facility, Resident 2 did not wish to see him, and the police were called. The CM stated the second time he came back to the facility on [DATE REDACTED], FM 4 was immediately spotted by staff, staff tried to stop him from entering Resident 2's room but he pushed his way into the room and was trying to pull the privacy curtain open, but LVN 3 was holding the privacy curtain shut. The CM stated Resident 2 was receiving peri care, and her privates were exposed while FM 4 was trying to pull the privacy curtain open. The CM stated FM 2's voice was very aggressive, very loud, caused a huge commotion and he was yelling to Resident 2, God dammit you know you want to see me, why are you telling them you do not want to see me! and Resident 2 was crying and very shaken up by the occurrence. The CM stated the way FM 4 was talking, acting, and the tone of voice he was using was verbally and emotionally abusive. The CM stated the abuse coordinator (administrator [ADM]) was aware of the situation that occurred on 4/8/2025.
The CM stated she brought it up during a morning meeting with department heads that in GACHs, victims of violence do not have their names outside of their rooms for patient safety and the CM thought it would be a good idea to implement but she does not know what the facility did with that information. The CM stated she believed FM 4 found out what room Resident 2 was in by looking for and finding her name posted outside of her doorway. The CM stated they offered assistance to call a behavioral health self-referral number to set up
an appointment for therapy, but the resident declined.
During an interview on 4/17/2025 at 10:54 a.m., with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated Resident 2 became upset at the mention of FM 4's name so they had to respect her and not ask any questions because Resident 2 did not want to talk about any of the details.
During an interview on 4/17/2025 at 1:42 p.m., with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated on 4/8/2025 FM 4 bypassed all the safety checks in the facility and snuck into the facility behind another resident's family member (unknown). LVN 3 stated she knew a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) (unknown) was providing peri care to Resident 2 at the time, so LVN 3 entered Resident 2's room to check on the resident before FM 4 abruptly made his way past the CM (who was at the doorway of Resident 2's room) and was trying to pull Resident 2's privacy curtain open. LVN 3 stated she was pleading with FM 4 to give Resident 2 some privacy and to let the staff get Resident 2 decent, but FM 4 was cussing at the staff, saying F (fuck), F the police and shouting at Resident 2 to let FM 4 in. LVN 3 stated FM 4 was shouting multiple things at Resident 2, but she couldn't exactly remember everything that was said. LVN 3 stated Resident 2 was visibly in fear, shaking, and traumatized. LVN 3 stated the interaction was verbal abuse and emotional abuse by the way he was talking to Resident 2 and the response Resident 2 had to the interaction. LVN 3 stated Resident 2 ended up needing Ativan because she was so shaken up. LVN 3 stated the abuse coordinator (ADM) was aware of the situation but was not sure if the incident was reported to necessary agencies other than the police because
the police were called.

F 0609 During an interview on 4/18/2025 at 10:36 a.m., with the ADM, the ADM stated she was the abuse coordinator for the facility. The ADM stated the facility was informed an open APS case was filed against FM Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 4 for the abuse Resident 2 sustained. The ADM stated the police were called after the first incident potential for actual harm 3/18/2025 and staff were notified not to let FM 4 in and to call the police if they saw him. The ADM stated the second incident on 4/8/2025 she was incorrectly informed after the incident had happened, that FM 4 did not Residents Affected - Few enter Resident 2's room and staff were able to stop him from entering the room. The ADM stated from what
she learned about the 4/8/2025 incident FM 4 was aggressive towards staff and just stated he wanted to see Resident 2, so she did not believe it was abuse but rather family dynamics. The ADM stated the incident was not reported to the state agency and a thorough investigation was not done but if she knew FM 4 entered the room and the details of the interaction she may have done things differently. The ADM read the details in Resident 2's medical record including the CM notes and COC dated 4/8/2025. The ADM stated she was not aware FM 4 entered Resident 2's room, was shouting towards Resident 2, and Resident 2 was shaking her head no and crying. The ADM stated it was important staff members reported accurate descriptions of events because that determined the course of action she takes and if an incident needed to be reported to
the state agency. The ADM stated she unfortunately never spoke to Resident 2 herself regarding the situation. The ADM stated according to the facility's policy and procedure (P/P) titled Abuse: Prevention of and Prohibition Against definition of mental abuse, mental abuse included harassment. The ADM stated if there was an allegation of abuse, the incident needed to be thoroughly investigated and reported to the state agency right away. The ADM stated Resident 2 remained in the same room from the time of admission (3/16/2025) to the time of discharge (4/17/2025) and she could not find any evidence in Resident 2's chart
she was offered a room change after the first incident on 3/18/2025, and the second incident on 4/8/2025 of FM 4 forcing his way into Resident 2's room for her safety. The ADM stated after the second incident on 4/8/2025, she (ADM) became worried about Resident 2's safety so she had the CM reach out to Resident 2's insurance to request a transfer to another facility but Resident 2's insurance declined.
During a review of the facility's P/P titled Abuse: Prevention of and Prohibition Against revised 12/2023, the P/P indicated each resident had the right to be free of abuse. The P/P indicated abuse was the willful (the individual acted deliberately) infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment resulting in physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. The P/P indicated the facility was to ensure the health and safety of each resident with regards to visitors, such as family members, friends, or other individuals subject to the resident's right to deny or withdraw consent at any time and to reasonable clinical and safety restrictions. The P/P indicated mental abuse included, but was not limited to humiliation, harassment, and threats of punishment or deprivation. The P/P indicated the facility was to protect the resident from further abuse by making room changes as needed. The P/P indicated allegations of abuse would be reported outside of the facility to appropriate State or Federal agencies in the applicable timeframes as per regulations.
