involved, notify administration and law enforcement, and fill out an incident report, including the witness statements from staff. LN H said she was aware of the incident between R1 and R2 but was not directly involved in the incident.
During an interview on 10/01/25 at 02:40 PM, Administrative Staff A said that if resident-to-resident abuse was observed or suspected, the expectation was for staff to separate, ensure the safety of the residents, provide aid as necessary, and notify the nurse.
The nurse was expected to call the building administration, the resident's physician, LEO, EMS, and the residents' representatives. If there was any suspicion that any resident struck another resident, the nurse should also collect written witness statements from the staff. If the incident was willful abuse, then a report would be filed with the State Agency (SA).
Administrative Staff A stated on the morning of 09/03/25, she received a call from the nurse who reported R1 entered R2's room and struck R2 and hit R2's wife.
Administrative Staff A confirmed LEO and EMS were notified.
Administrative Staff A reported R1 was placed on one-on-one observation by Administrative Staff A until 08:00 AM, when R1's wife arrived and assumed one-on-one observation until she left at 06:00 PM.
Staff then provided one-on-one observation if R1's wife was not present until R1 was transferred to a BHU.
Administrative Staff A stated she had not reported the incident to the SA as required.The facility's Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Policy and Procedure policy, dated 05/2023, documented that the facility prohibited abuse from any perpetrator that included but was not limited to staff, volunteer, contracted staff, vendor, family member, visitor, or any other resident.This deficient practice was cited at a scope and severity of G (actual harm, isolated) to reflect fear and anxiety because of the noncompliance using the reasonable person concept due to R2's impaired cognition.
