Findings
Witness 1 (W1) has a history of agitation, physical aggression towards staff and residents, and involvement in resident-to-resident altercations. On or about September 12, 2024, Alleged Victim (AV) reported that s/he is unable to get any sleep at night due to W1 pounding on the walls that separate AV and W1 room. AV reports this happens every night. AV reported on or about October 9, 2024, in an interview with APSS, that W1 continues to bang on the wall every night, which causes AV to lose sleep and causes AV emotional distress. W1 interventions mostly rely on staff redirection, staff to offer 1:1 activity or removing other residents from the area. The facility failed to assure resident rights and failed to appropriately care plan addressing W1 behaviors (pounding on the wall, and yelling) keeping AV up at night, and AV being in fear of W1, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
