- Witness 1 (W1) and Alleged Victim (AV) have a history of resident-to-resident altercations. W1 service plan indicates the noise from TV room near W1's room will create expressions of frustration and confusion. W1 will at times go into the room and ask the group to keep the noise down. AV is known to be territorial over the living room. Interventions for W1 at the time of the altercation included redirecting W1 with a drink, snack book, walk, or item, and keeping W1 in areas with staff. On September 2, 2024, in the TV Room W1 pushed a side table in AV's right side and W1 hit AV. Resulting in bruising and pain on AV's right side.
