- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date November 28, 2018
The state investigators determined the nursing home " failed to protect cognitively impaired residents from physical abuse.” One resident, “who was cognitively impaired, had repeated aggressive behavior toward other residents and had beaten [one resident] (who was cognitively impaired) with a call bell on September 26, 2018.” The aggressive resident also threw “a chair on [a third resident] (who was cognitively impaired) and had punched her on the shoulder on October 9, 2018, causing a red spot on the resident’s leg.”
A fourth resident, “who was cognitively intact, was verbally abusive to other residents [and pushed a fifth resident] (who was cognitively impaired) with a walker, causing [that resident] to fall and sustain injuries.”
The state investigators determined an Immediate Jeopardy situation began “when the facility failed to protect [one resident from abuse by [the aggressive resident] and failed to manage [the aggressive resident’s] behavior, causing her to abuse another resident.”
It was also determined that the aggressive resident caused the fall of a second resident and “fractured her hip.” A review of the physically aggressive resident’s psychiatric notes revealed that the resident “continued to have aggressive and combative behaviors. She was hitting staff and other residents. The plan was to discontinue [the antipsychotic medication she was taking and increase another antipsychotic medication ] and to add antianxiety drugs, as needed for agitation.”
However, after the change in medications, a report indicates that a nurse had been called and reported that the resident “was up during the night and agitated with her roommate. Later she was found beating her roommate with her call bell.”
