Nursing notes dated September 3, 2025, indicated that Resident 1 and Resident 2 had an altercation/incident in the 3 west hallway. Resident 1 was in her electric wheel chair attempting to pass Resident 2 who was in his wheelchair.

A review of Resident 2's care plan revealed no documented evidence that new interventions were attempted or implemented after the incident on September 3, 2025, to prevent similar incidents of physical abuse in the future.
