Findings
Per a temporary care plan dated October 17, 2024, staff are to know Alleged Victim (AV) and Witness 1 (W1) whereabouts and to keep a watchful eye on them. On or about October 25, 2024, at 9:15 a.m., AV and W1 were both walking around the facility when they crossed paths. W1 grabbed AV by the arm with force, resulting in AV losing his/her balance and falling. A few hours later at 11:45 a.m., W1 and AV had another altercation. This time W1 aggressively and violently committed an unprovoked attack on AV, resulting in a fall with injury to AV. AV sustained an abrasion on his/her head that measured about 5-6 cm and resulted in AV being visibly scared. Neither incident was witnessed by staff. The facility failed to assure that the temporary care plan was being followed, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
