The Healthcare Center of Orange County received the grievance from Family Member 1 about Resident 1's dangerous positioning behavior.

His care plan, revised August 4, specified the need for barrier precautions related to his catheter care.

The resident, identified as Resident #2, had an unstageable pressure injury on his right buttock that required daily treatment.

Federal law requires nursing homes to return all personal funds to residents within 30 days of discharge.

The facility didn't suspend the aide or begin an investigation until June 17 — eight days after the incident.

An activity aide witnessed the assault and separated the two residents before reporting it.

When the connection failed during the transfer, the resident fell.

The resident, identified only as Resident #1, told staff on multiple occasions that an overnight worker was rough when turning her during care.

Resident #4 eventually turned off her own call light and asked a visiting family member for help.

V5, the family member, signed a formal request for the medical records in May.

Aperion Care Arbors Michigan City failed to notify the family of Resident C when her gastrostomy tube dislodged on September 1, federal inspectors found.

The resident experienced uncontrolled pain and fever on September 23, prompting his transfer to the emergency room.
