Inspection Findings

FF0600

Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Deficiencies

Potential for More Than Minimal Harm

During an interview on 11/12/25 at 1:55 P.M., CNA (A) said:- He/she had been talking with Resident #1 while walking down the hall and Resident #2 was coming towards them. Resident #2 stepped in front of Resident #1 and Resident #1 pushed Resident #2 with both hands in the chest. Resident #2 fell backwards stiffly onto the floor.

Staff took Resident #2's vitals and checked to check for injury.

Both residents were separated. Resident #2 had no injuries and did not complain of pain. CNA A then reported the incident to the Charge Nurse, Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator.

During an interview on 11/12/25 at 3:40 P.M., the DON and Administrator said:- The investigation findings show that Resident #1 pushed Resident #2 to the ground. Resident #1 used both hands and pushed Resident #2 in the chest. Resident #1's actions are that of abuse.

Neurological checks and a complete assessment were completed for Resident #2 after the fall to make sure he/she was not hurt.

All residents have the right to be free from abuse and not to be pushed to the ground by another resident or staff. - Resident #2 does not have a history of aggression towards residents. - Resident #1 has a history of aggression towards others and at the time of the incident, was experiencing a urinary tract infection which he/she believes caused Resident #1 to act out. - Resident #1 is considerably larger than Resident #2 and it would not take much effort for him/her to push the resident to the ground. - Interventions that the facility had completed since the incident include staff training on abuse and neglect prevention, both residents were sent out for a psychological evaluation with the findings still pending to the facility, both residents were separated from each other right after the incident, Resident #2 had trauma informed care performed with no negative findings from the incident, and Resident #1 was screened for a urinary tract infection to make sure that was not the cause of the aggression.Intake 2664086
