Findings
Alleged Victim (AV) and Witness 1 (W1) have history of aggressive behaviors and involvement in resident-to-resident altercations. From March 22, 2024 to May 7, 2024, AV was involved in five (5 )documented resident-to-resident altercations. From March 2, 2024 to May 3, 2024, W1 was involved in six (6 ) documented resident-to-resident altercations. AV's interventions for resident-to-resident altercations include the following: look for any signs of isolation, aggression, agitation, targeting other residents, outbursts, changes in appetite, and any other changes in baseline, if staff see AV's door open, they are to offer to shut it to help prevent people from wandering in, if staff observe AV trying to push residents in wheelchairs they are to intervene and let AV know that they can help, if staff see AV quickly approaching other residents, they are to intervene and walk with AV to a common area where s/he can listen to music, and if staff see residents approaching AV during times where s/he is seated with food, they are to redirect they and offer them a snack. W1's interventions for resident-to-resident altercations include the following: during mealtimes staff are to assist W1 to a seat and if s/he is pacing near other residents, they are to redirect h/h back to h/h seat and provide h/h with redirection to h/h food, Staff directed the resident out of the dining room and away from the resident, W1 tends to pace and wander along the community. W1 can be directed to sit down with a snack or juice and generally will stay for a while where s/he is directed. On or about May, 11, 2024, AV and W1 were involved in a resident-to-resident altercation in which AV was pushed to the ground and sustained a skin tear on h/h elbow. The facility failed to adjust the service plan with person-centered interventions and not providing adequate supervision for W1 leading to continued aggressive behavior, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse. There is sufficient evidence to indicate the facility failed to provide basic care, services, and safety to AV by not providing adequate supervision or person-centered interventions to W1 which resulted in AV and W1 getting into a resident-to-resident altercation on May 11, 2024 and resulted in AV being pushed to the ground and sustaining a skin tear on h/h elbow.
