Inspection Findings
During an interview on 12/30/25 at 4:05 P.M., the Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) said Resident #1 wanders daily, can be aggressive and can be difficult to redirect.
The ADON said the facility has tried two types of STOP sign banners on the doors, but that Resident #1 has figured them out and continues to enter other residents' rooms.
The ADON said prior to the altercation involving Resident #1 and Resident #2 on 12/20/25, staff had redirected Resident #1 away from Resident #2's room three times, had closed the door, and replaced the STOP sign each time.
The ADON said he was aware that resident-to-resident altercations had occurred involving Resident #1, Resident #2 and Resident #3.
The ADON said staff watch Resident #1 as much and as close as they can, but that sometimes they don't get to him/her in time.
The ADON said Resident #1 should not have been in the day/dining room with other residents unsupervised.
