AV does not like when other residents enter AV's room. W1 and AV have history of resident-to-resident altercations with interventions in place, AV to participate in activities away from W1, and staff to ensure W1 is not near AV while in common areas. On December 26, 2024, W1 went into AV's room. AV pushed W1 out of AV's room resulting in AV having a skin tear 2-3 cm long on AV's upper left arm.
