Interview with Staff A, Certified
and the facility's policy on 1:1 supervision, she stated: The resident asked me for some water, went
ask who was going to cover my break. I know the facility policy for 1:1 supervision is for the sitter to maintain at the resident's bedside at all times without exceptions.

Interview with the Senior Director of Risk Manager on 02/27/2026 at 10:19 AM revealed when asked if the setting was appropriate for Resident #1 and sitter leaving him unsupervised, she responded: I do not think the resident was a candidate for long-term care. He needed more aggressive care due to his Traumatic Brain Injury and psychiatric history. I believe, due to the resident's restlessness and impulsiveness, the incident would have occurred anywhere else. I also think the resident's sitter should not have stepped away from the bedside this is why she was held accountable.
Interview on 02/27/2026 at 10:46 AM, Staff B, Registered Nurse (RN) Leader on 02/27/2026 at 10:46 AM revealed a sitter's role when assigned to a 1:1 supervision is to be within one arm length from the resident and if a bathroom break is needed, it should be communicated via the call light.
Interview with the Administrator on 02/27/2026 at 12:52 PM; when asked if the incident with Resident #1 could have been avoided, he stated: I do not think this incident could have been avoided because the resident was agitated since he arrived at this facility and it could have happened anywhere else. I also do not think what the sitter did was correct; she should have never left the resident alone.
Interview with the Director of Nursing on 02/27/2026 at 2:08 PM revealed when asked if the setting was appropriate for Resident #1 and the facility's policy on 1:1 supervision, she stated: The facility's policy regarding 1:1 supervision is for the sitter to remain with the assigned resident at all times. If the sitter needs a break, she needs to use the call light to communicate it; there is no reason for the sitter to leave the room. I also do not think the resident was a proper candidate to be in this facility because he was agitated and had been treated with Haldol in the previous facility.
