Both the Alleged Victim (AV) and Witness 1 (W1) rely on the facility for care. W1 has a history of aggressive physical behaviors resulting in resident-to-resident altercations with the AV. The AV has a history of wandering into other resident rooms. On or about February 6, 2024, staff entering W1's room found W1 grasping AV's hands and forcing AV to the floor, after pulling AV from AV's wheelchair.
