F-F600 for failure to prevent resident to resident altercations.

The DON said the facility did not have an investigation for the resident's bite wound and it was not reported to the State oversight office as an injury of unknown origin.
The DON said she had heard about the allegation that Resident #1 had a bite mark on his arm so she asked one of the facility nurses to look at his arm.
The DON said she did not examine the resident herself and could not remember which nurse she asked to look at the resident's arm but she said remembered the nurse reported the resident did not have a bite wound.
The DON said she did not know why there was no documentation of the assessment of Resident #1 done by the nurse but said she would try to find out which nurse assessed the resident and look to see if the facility had any documentation of the allegation and the assessment of the resident.
-The DON did not provide any additional evidence to indicate the allegation that Resident #1 sustained a bite wound of unknown origin was investigated or that the nursing staff assessed and monitored the resident's injury.

Resident representative interview
Resident #1's representative was interviewed on 6/13/24 at 6:13 p.m.
The representative said she was at the facility every day to visit with Resident #1.
She said on the morning of 4/9/24 she received a call from Resident #1's hospice nurse asking if she knew about a bite mark on the top of Resident #1's wrist.
The representative said that was the first time she was made aware that there was a bite mark on Resident #1's hand.
The representative said she was at the facility the day prior (4/8/24) at lunchtime and the resident did not have the bite mark on his arm at that time so the injury had to have happened sometime after she left the faciity on [DATE] and the morning of 4/9/24.
The representative said she went to the facility to find out what happened and observed the bite wound on Resident #1's arm.
The representative said she talked to the staff on duty and no one knew that the resident had a bite wound and nobody could reasonably explain how the bite happened.
The representative said she took a picture of the resident's wound to show the facility administration.
The representative said the bite wound was on the top side of the resident's forearm, starting at the wrist, in a vertical straight up and down direction.
She said there were several teeth marks that broke the skin on top of his wrist just above the wrist joint on the forearm.
She said the reddened open wounds had started to scab over.
She said there was bruising on the resident's arm approximately two inches from the crescent-shaped teeth impressions with broken skin and mild bruising.
She said the bite wound was vertical, or straight up and down, along the arm and not at an angle along the side of the resident's arm or on the top and bottom of the arm, which would have been more typical if the resident had bitten himself.
