(Resident R6) was getting up from bed. (V33) was in the hallway and saw (Resident R6) coming towards the door. I asked (Resident R6) 'what is the problem'. (Resident R9) was getting up from bed to go to the bathroom. (Resident R6) was thinking (Resident R9) was coming to (Resident R6), so (Resident R6) stood up from the bed, and (Resident R9) thought (Resident R6) was coming for (Resident R9). They each thought the other was coming for them. (Resident R9's) arms were swinging and bumped (Resident R6). (Resident R6) told me (Resident R9) touched (Resident R6) on the shoulder and in the face. (Resident R9) told me that (Resident R9) was trying to maneuver around (Resident R6) to go to the toilet. I assessed both of them, separated them, and put them on one-to-one. Because (Resident R6) stated (Resident R6) was touched in the face, the Medical Doctor ordered for (Resident R6) to be sent to the hospital for evaluation. (Resident R6) refused. We called the police. They came. (Resident R6) refused to go to the hospital. (Resident R9) was not sent to the hospital. I observed drainage from (Resident R6's) eyes. Resident R6's Nurses progress note, dated 6/26/25 at 07:27, reads: Resident had altercation with roommate. Writer observed resident bleeding from left eye. Resident stated roommate choked resident on the neck. The writer cleaned the resident's bleeding with normal saline and moved resident to another room. Psych doctor was notified and ordered resident's transfer to hospital for medical evaluation and send roommate to hospital for psych evaluation. Paramedics came to pick up resident, but resident refused to go to hospital. Police was called (sic) and came to talk to resident, but resident also refused. Police acknowledged they will come back whenever the resident change mind (sic).
Currently resident is sleeping, no bleeding at this time and we will continue to monitor. Nurses progress note, dated 6/26/25 at 16:15, reads: Concerned of resident having difficulty opening eyes with mild drainage, mild swelling and bruising on left eye likely due to prior incident.Resident R9's Behavior progress note, dated 6/26/2025 at 03:59, reads: The resident was petitioned to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation following an altercation with roommate. During the investigation resident was swinging at both roommate and staff. Resident denied to have (sic) any issue with roommate. Resident refused PRN (as needed) medication and couldn't be redirected, indicating resident posed a danger to self and others. Due to unpredictable behavior, a psych evaluation would be beneficial. Paramedics picked up the resident at 3:45 am. Resident was alert with no injury and denied pain or discomfort at the time.
