Actual Harm

During an interview on 12/22/25 at 12:30 P.M. CNA J said:-He/She responded to a code in Resident #21's room. Resident #22 was on top of Resident #21. Resident #22 had what looked like a pen in his/her hands. -Resident #21 got up, tried to fight back and then looked at his/her face and said, my face my face. -Resident #21's face was red and scratched.

There was a whole lot of scratches on the side of Resident #21's face with some blood.

During an interview on 12/22/25 at12:44 P.M.

Certified Medication Technician (CMT) K said: -He/She was not assigned but had just gotten over to the unit to help with medication pass and heard the ruckus. -He/She stepped out of the nurse station, looked down the hall and could see Resident #22 swinging his/her arms inside a room. -By the time he/she got to the room, the fight between Resident #22 and Resident #21 had moved to the hallway. -He/she was trying to break up Resident #21 and Resident #22. -Resident #22 had something silver in the middle of his/her fist.

Someone said it was tweezers, but he/she not sure. -Resident #21 was all scratched up on the one side of the face.

Some of the scratches were deep enough to draw blood.-Resident #22 said he/she had just picked up whatever it was in his/her hands.

During an interview on 12/22/25 at 2:27 P.M. the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) said: -He/she was not in the building at the time of the resident-to-resident altercation between Resident #21 and Resident #22. -Both Resident #21 and Resident #22 had coping skills and apologized with no further behaviors.

This made the incident not abuse. Resident #21 had gone into Resident #22's room and trashed it. Resident #22 went into Resident #21's room to talk. -Resident #22 said he/she scratched Resident #21's face with his/her nails. Resident #21 never saw anything in Resident #22's hands during the incident. -If Resident #22 had a known object in his/her hands and it was confirmed beside just using his/her nails then the incident would be considered abuse.

Since Resident #22 only used his/her nails during the incident it was not seen as abuse. 2686342
