**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure each resident remained free from physical and psychosocial abuse for 7 (#R1, #1, #3, #5, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2) of 9 (#R1, #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2) residents reviewed for abuse. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation on 02/22/2025, when Resident #4, a cognitively impaired resident, hit Resident #R1 on the back. The facility failed to ensure effective interventions were put into place to protect the resident's from abuse after the 02/22/2025 incident. Resident #4 exhibited continued aggressive and abusive behaviors, and was transferred to the facility's locked dementia care unit on 03/25/2025. On 03/25/2025, Resident #4 was observed grabbing Unknown Resident #1 by the feet and attempting to pull the resident out of their wheelchair. The resident was observed by a former employee to be fearful, displaying physical and verbal signs of stress. Unknown Resident #1 was scared, crying, and kept doing a swatting motion with her hands. The IJ continued on 04/17/2025, when Resident #4 interlocked her arms around Resident #3's throat then began pulling back, choking her. The IJ continued on 05/20/2025, when Resident #4 pushed Resident #5, causing Resident #5 to fall to the floor. Resident #4 then hit Resident #5 in her face. Resident #5 complained of hip pain after the incident. Resident #5's family requested Resident #5 be moved out of the locked dementia care unit for safety, which resulted in Resident #5 crying for days. The IJ continued on 05/26/2025, when Resident #4 grabbed Unknown Resident #2's hair, pulled it, and would not let go. On 05/26/2025, Resident #4 was placed on 1:1 supervision then removed from 1:1 supervision on 06/09/2025. On 06/09/2025, Resident #4 pushed Resident #6 into the wall, causing Resident #6 to hit her head against the wall.

On 07/09/2025 at 5:30 a.m., an observation was made of Resident #4. She was lying in her bed with no staff present at bedside. As a result of the investigation, despite there not being a significant decline in mental or physical functioning for Residents #R1, #3, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2, it could be determined a reasonable person would have experienced psychosocial harm as a result of Resident #4's abusive behaviors since a reasonable person would not expect to be treated in this manner in their own home or a health care facility.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to be administered in a manner that enabled it to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being for 7 (#R1, #1, #3, #5, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2) of 9 (#R1, #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2) sampled residents. The facility failed to:1. Protect Resident's #R1, #1, #3, #5, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2 from physical and psychosocial abuse by Resident #4;2. Report allegations of physical and psychosocial abuse by Resident #4 to the State Agency in the required timeframe; and3. Ensure Resident #4 received consistent adequate staff supervision to manage the resident's known verbally and physically abusive behaviors.This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation on 02/22/2025, when Resident #4, a cognitively impaired resident, hit Resident #R1. Resident #4 exhibited continued aggressive and abusive behaviors, and was transferred to the facility's locked dementia care unit on 03/25/2025. On 03/25/2025, Resident #4 was observed grabbing Unknown Resident #1 by the feet and attempting to pull the resident out of their wheelchair. Unknown Resident #1 was observed by a former employee to be fearful, displaying physical and verbal signs of stress, including crying and repeatedly making a swatting motion with her hands. The IJ continued on 04/17/2025, when Resident #4 interlocked her arms around Resident #3's throat then began pulling back, choking her. The IJ continued on 05/20/2025, when Resident #4 pushed Resident #5, causing Resident #5 to fall to the floor. Resident #4 then hit Resident #5 in her face. Resident #5 complained of hip pain after the incident. Resident #5's family requested Resident #5 be moved out of the locked dementia care unit for safety, which resulted in Resident #5 crying for days. The IJ continued on 05/26/2025, when Resident #4 grabbed Unknown Resident #2's hair, pulled it, and would not let go. On 05/26/2025, Resident #4 was placed on 1:1 supervision until 06/09/2025. However, staff interviews revealed during that time Resident #4 received inconsistent 1:1 supervision. On 06/09/2025 after 1:1 supervision was removed, Resident #4 pushed Resident #6 into the wall, causing Resident #6 to hit her head against the wall. Resident #6 complained of a headache after the incident and required administration of Tylenol for pain management. Resident #4 was placed back on continuous 1:1 supervision on 06/09/2025. On 06/16/2025, Resident #1 was found in a resident's room lying on her left side in a fetal position. Resident #4 was observed standing on the right side of Resident #1's wheelchair with Resident #1's wheelchair pad in her hand, and no staff present with Resident #4. Resident #1 was noted to have swelling to the left side of her face and right knee. Resident #1 was transferred to the hospital where it was determined she had a right femur fracture and a left facial hematoma. Due to Resident #1's age, she was unable to undergo surgery and was ultimately transferred to an inpatient hospice facility where she passed away on 06/25/2025. Staff interviews revealed Resident #4 did not have 1:1 monitoring during the 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. shifts, and Resident #4 was not provided with consistent 1:1 monitoring during the day until after Resident #1's incident on 06/16/2025. On 07/09/2025 at 5:30 a.m., an observation was made of Resident #4. She was lying in her bed with no staff present at bedside. Record review and interview with S1ADM revealed S1ADM was aware of each of the above incidents with Resident #4, but none of the above incidents were reported to State Agency. As a result of the investigation, despite there not being a significant decline in mental or physical functioning for Residents #R1, #3, #5, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2, it could be determined a reasonable person would have experienced psychosocial harm as a result of Resident #4's abusive behaviors since a reasonable person would not expect to be treated in this manner in their own home or a health care facility. S1ADM was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy situation on 07/11/2025 at 11:10 a.m. This deficient practice continued at a potential for more than minimal harm for the other 167 residents residing in the facility.
