Inspection Findings
Investigation Report, dated Initial Report: 4/14/26 and Final Report: 4/20/26. At 6:25 P.M. on 4/14/26, (V1) was notified of an alleged physical altercation between (R10 and (R18) in the hallway near the nurse's station.
Both residents were immediately separated.
Facility leadership reviewed the medical record of the residents.
Employees and residents that were knowledgeable of the allegation were interviewed by the Abuse Coordinator. (R18) was interviewed and stated, (R10) was trying to push me in my wheelchair. I told her no; I can do it myself. It was at that time I reached back and hit (R10) and then (R10) pulled my hair. No staff witnessed the alleged allegation. V4/Certified Nursing Assistant stated I walked out of the dining room and noticed (R10) was trying to push (R18) in her wheelchair. (R18) got mad and told her to stop and swung her arm back to try to hit (R10). I was walking towards them to separate both residents and that is when (R10) pulled R18's hair. It was at this time I was able to separate both residents. On 5/26/26 at 10:15 A.M., R18 was up in a wheelchair, in the facility front room. R18 was able to propel her wheelchair using her feet. R18 was alert, and able to answer questions appropriately. R18 stated she does recall the incident that occurred a few months ago when R10 (able to recall R10's name without prompting) and she were sitting at the nurse's station and R10 started pushing her wheelchair, without being asked. R18 stated she told R10 repeatedly to stop, R10 continued pushing her chair. R18 reached behind her to grab R10, missed R10 and then R10 pulled her hair. R18 stated it hurt when R10 pulled her hair. R18 stated at that time, facility staff intervened and took R10 to her room. R18 stated she has had no other occurrences with R10. On 5/26/28 at 1:03 P.M., V4/Certified Nursing Assistant stated she witnessed (R10) pull (18)'s hair one evening after supper. It was in April of this year, and as she was coming out of the dining room, she heard yelling and witnessed (R18) reaching behind her towards (R10) who was pushing her wheelchair. V4 stated she witnessed (R10) pulling (R18)'s hair. V4 stated she was able to reach the two residents, separate them and she reported the incident to the nurse.
