- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation date #F600 August 10, 2018
The state investigators determined that “the facility failed to ensure [four residents] reviewed for resident-to-resident altercations were free from abuse. This failure placed these residents, as well as other residents at risk for repeated physical abuse from residents who reacted with physical aggression.”
Documentation shows that there was a physical altercation between residents where one resident “occasionally demonstrated physical behaviors which placed others at risk for physical injuries and wandered into areas which could intrude on the privacy of others.” The aggressive resident’s Care Plan showed that “she wandered, which placed her at risk for altercations with others. Interventions dated October 24, 2012, instructed the staff to walk with the resident, redirect from inappropriate areas, or engage in a diversionary activity.”
A documented goal dated September 30, 2018, directed the staff to ensure that “the resident would not harm herself or others due to her behaviors through the next review.” However, the surveyors interviewed another resident who “was asked about any problems with other residents. She stated there was a problem when her prior roommate [the allegedly aggressive resident] came in the door, started taking some of her things off a bedside table, including things that could harm or.”
The roommate stated that at that time, the allegedly aggressive resident picked up a book and threw it at her and then a full thing of wipes and hit her on the shoulder.” The resident indicated that the aggressive resident “hit her in the shoulder in an area that had been impacted by a previous surgery where the muscles were very weak.”
The state surveyors reviewed the facility Incident Investigation Report dated July 21, 2018. The report indicates that these two residents were roommates and “the facility investigation included the same account of events as” described by the injured resident. The investigation showed that a Registered Nurse (RN) “was present at the time of the incident and responded when [the injured resident] was calling out for help.”
