with the staff members on duty to explain what new interventions would be implemented. LN H revealed
she was aware of the incident that occurred on 08/29/25 between Resident R1 and Resident R2, but she was not working that shift. LN H stated the next time she worked after the incident, Resident R1 was on one-on-one observation where staff remained within an arm's length of Resident R1, perhaps two arm lengths. LN H said she was unsure of any documentation to show one-on-one observation was performed, other than the schedule that documented
an extra person staffed in the special care unit. LN H revealed she was aware of reports of Resident R1 being verbally aggressive towards staff and other residents and physically aggressive towards staff. During an
interview on 10/14/25 at 01:30 PM, Administrative Nurse D revealed if a resident was aggressive with another resident, the expectation was that staff would separate and redirect the residents while also ensuring the safety of all the residents involved, then report the incident to the nurse as soon as possible.
The nurse would collect written statements from everyone with any knowledge of the incident and then collaborate with the manager on duty to develop an intervention until the interdisciplinary team (IDT) could meet and develop an intervention to be placed on the care plan. After the incident on 08/29/25 between Resident R1 and Resident R2, Resident R1 was placed on one-on-one observation until 09/03/25. Administrative Nurse D revealed the special care unit had dedicated staff, and all the dedicated staff received in-service training related to abuse prevention on 10/03/25. The facility's Preventing Resident-to-Resident Abuse policy, dated 05/2022, documented the facility would attempt to prevent resident-to-resident abuse through assessments and individualized interventions. The IDT would evaluate history obtained from the resident and their family, along with medical history related to the resident's history of physical and/or verbal abuse. The team would then develop a plan to create an environment supportive of the resident to decrease the opportunity for resident-to-resident abuse that focused on non-medication interventions. On 10/14/25 at 04:45 PM, Administrative Staff A, Administrative Nurse D, and Administrative Nurse E received a copy of the Immediate Jeopardy [IJ] Template and were informed of the IJ.The facility identified, implemented, and completed corrective measures on 10/03/25, which included the following: 1. On 08/29/25, Resident R1 was placed
on one-on-one supervision at all times.2. On 09/01/25, Resident R1 was moved from a semi-private room on the special care unit with Resident R2 to a private room on the special care unit.3. On 09/23/25, the facility held a quality assurance, process improvement (QAPI) meeting to discuss the incident.4. On 09/25/25, Resident R1 was assessed by Physician Extender V, and the medication regimen was adjusted effective 09/26/25.5. On 10/03/25, staff education was provided to the dedicated staff for the special care unit related to aggressive behavior, resident-to-resident abuse, and dementia care.The onsite surveyor verified the above completed corrective action. Due to all corrections completed prior to the onsite survey, the deficient practice was cited as past noncompliance at a scope and severity of J (isolated, immediate jeopardy).
