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
