The most recent inspection on file for University Manor Health & Reha took place on February 3, 2025. Across the 24 inspections published by the Ohio Department of Health, surveyors cited 37 deficiencies.

A deficiency is a rule the surveyor found the facility was not meeting. Ohio inspects against two rule books at once, so most findings carry a federal code and an Ohio code for the same problem; each is counted once here, the way the state counts it. Correction dates are the state's confirmation that the issue was fixed.

This report reproduces what Ohio publishes and nothing else. Of the 24 inspections listed, the state publishes the surveyor's written findings for 11; for the other 13 it publishes only the date, the type of visit and the number of deficiencies - 13 of which found none.

The confrontation resulted in both Resident #141 and Resident #701 striking Resident #74. Staff immediately separated the residents. Resident #141 had been referred for further psychiatric evaluation and would remain on one to one until further notice while in the facility. The unit nurse completed skin and pain assessments on all residents. Resident #74 was noted to have sustained multiple scratches, red eyes, and a bloody mouth. Resident #74 was refusing further medication evaluation and treatment and would continue to be monitored for any change in condition. Resident #74 would be moved to another floor to ensure continued safety. The SRI conclusion revealed the allegation was unsubstantiated as the evidence was inconclusive. Abuse, neglect or misappropriation was suspected.

Review of Resident #74's Observation Detail List Report form (skin assessment) dated 1/04/25 at 11:38 P.M. revealed two 15 cm (centimeter) scratches on the left side of the back with several small scratches on the face and blood shot red eyes.

She stated the residents were separated. LPN #814 stated she did not know why she documented the same altercation between Residents #74, #141 and #701 on 01/04/25 at 9:30 A.M. and 9:30 P.M. but confirmed the actual events occurred on 01/04/25 at 9:30 P.M.

Telephone interview on 01/31/25 at 1:51 P.M. with LPN #817 with RN UM #818 in attendance revealed on 01/06/25 at 5:11 P.M., Resident #74 walked down to his room and stayed there. LPN #817 stated she heard shouting and RN UM #818 as well as the CNA were in the resident's room. She confirmed that Resident #701 had stabbed Resident #74 in the right and left arm with a pen and Resident #701 was walked back to the common area to be monitored. Resident #74 was sent to the hospital.

Interview on 01/30/25 at 2:03 P.M. with SS #816 indicated Resident #701 had a large psychiatric history and targeted males. He also stated on the 01/04/25 incident involving Residents #74, #141 and #701, Resident #74 was the aggressor when Residents #141 and #701 went into the resident's room.

Interview on 01/30/25 at 2:09 P.M. with the Administrator and SS #816 indicated the facility investigated the allegation of abuse on 01/04/25 between Residents #701, #141 and #74 and Resident #701 definitely did not jump on Resident #74's back at any point. The Administrator stated they felt the allegation was unsubstantiated because Residents #701 and #141 went into Resident #74's room but Resident #74 was the person who started the altercation with the other two residents. The Administrator confirmed the second abuse allegation on 01/06/25 between Residents #74 and #701 was substantiated.

A second telephone interview on 01/30/25 at 2:14 P.M. with LPN #814 with the Administrator and SS #816 in attendance revealed she had heard that Resident #701 jumped on Resident #74's back but she had not witnessed the event.

Telephone interview on 01/30/25 at 2:15 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #819 revealed he was coming up the stairs and had observed Resident #74 fending off Resident #141 and Resident #701. He stated Resident #141 was in front of Resident #74 and Resident #701 was behind the resident scratching at the resident's back. CNA #819 indicated Resident #74 was bleeding from his face with blood on the wall and on the floor and blood appeared on his face near his mouth and right eye. CNA #819 revealed both Residents #141 and #701 were attacking Resident #74 when he entered the room.

Review of the Ohio Resident Abuse Policy revised 07/11/24 revealed the facility would not tolerate abuse, neglect, mistreatment, exploitation of residents, and misappropriation of resident property by anyone.

The deficient practice was corrected on 01/24/25 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:

Resident #74 was sent to the hospital for evaluation on 01/06/25 and received a tetanus vaccine. The resident returned to the facility and was moved to a different floor.

Resident #141 was put on a one-to-one supervision from 01/04/25 until discharge to home on 01/30/25.

From 01/06/25 to current, SS #816 began behavior huddles with the nursing staff including the nurse and CNA for all residents with any type of report behaviors. The huddles discuss a plan of action to make sure resident behaviors do not escalate and de-escalation techniques to ensure the plan succeeds.

The Abuse, Neglect and Misappropriation policy was reviewed by the Administrator on 01/07/25.

On 01/07/25 through 01/09/25, Mobile Administrator #803 educated 11 staff members on abuse and behavior management with quizzes following the education including LPNs #806, #807, #814, #884, #964; CNAs #702, #863, #875; Security #846; Environmental Services #843, #848, #874, #970; and Maintenance #878, #919.

What the surveyor found

Based on observation, interview, and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure medications were prepared and administered for one resident at a time. This had the potential to affect the 35 residents living on the fifth floor (Resident #8, #10, #13, #15, #20, #23, #25, #28, #31, #38, #40, #43, #50, #57, #59, #60, #64, #66, #71, #72, #74, #80, #82, #83, #84, #87, #90, #91, #97, #98, #107, #108, #114, #124, and #126). The total census was 144.

Findings include:

Observation on 01/02/25 at 9:06 A.M. of the fifth floor medication carts with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #901 revealed LPN #901 had assembled 13 medication cups containing varying amounts of pills and wrote resident names on the cups with marker so she could later administer those pills to the respective residents. These cups were set on the high and low medication carts for the fifth floor, and LPN #901 was working at these medication carts removing the pills and placing them into the labeled cups.

Interview with LPN #901 at the time of the above observation confirmed the above findings. LPN #901 said she did this to help keep track of the medications, as she recently switched to working day shift and it was much busier than during the night. LPN #901 said was the nurse for all residents on the fifth floor.

Review of the facility's medication administration policy, revised 11/15/24, revealed medications were only to be prepared for one resident at a time.

What the surveyor found

Based on observation and interview the facility failed to ensure the resident environment on the fourth floor was maintained in good repair. This had the potential to affect all 42 residents (#1, #3, #6, #7, #11, #12, #16, #36, #37, #39, #45, #49, #51, #52, #56, #57, #60, #64, #72, #73, #77, #80, #83, #85, #87, #89, #92, #98, #106, #108, #109, #111, #112, #114, #120, #128, #133, #137, #140, #144, #145, and #148) who resided on the fourth floor. The facility census was 148.

Findings include:

Observation on 12/03/24 at 12:04 P.M. revealed Resident #72 was in bed. The wall the bed was against was caved in and in disrepair. Interview at the time of the observation with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #300 verified the observation and stated the damage to the wall was from the bed. CNA #300 asked Resident #72 how long the wall had been that way and the resident responded it was like that when he moved to this room about four months ago.

Observation of the shower room on the fourth floor located to the right of the vending machine on 12/03/24 at 1:07 P.M. revealed the back of the sink was not affixed to the wall and slightly leaning forward. Interview on 12/03/24 at 1:13 P.M. with CNA #451 verified the observation and stated all the residents on the unit used the shower room.

Observation of Residents #1 and #3's room on 12/03/24 at 1:20 P.M. revealed a missing ceiling tile above the toilet exposing the pipes. The ceiling tile was on the floor near the toilet. Several missing floor tiles were observed around the toilet. There was a large white patch on the wall above the soap dispenser that needed to be painted. Interview at this time with CNAs #300 and #451 verified the observations and they stated that the bathroom had been that way greater than five months

During observation of the fourth floor on 12/05/24 from 11:03 A.M. to 11:20 A.M. with Director of Maintenance (DOM) #341 the DOM #341 verified the back side of sink in the shower room was not affixed to the wall and sightly leaning forward. During the observation of Residents #1 and #3's bathroom, DOM #341 stated he was not aware of the missing ceiling or floor tiles but stated he was aware of the patched wall and needed to get paint. DOM #341 stated he was not sure when the hole was patched because there were so many holes they had patched because of the resident population. During the observation of Resident #72's room, DOM #341 stated he was aware of wall next to bed and stated he was not sure when the damage occurred. Additional observation of Resident #72's room with DOM #341 revealed a baseball size hole in wall across from and facing the foot of the bed. DOM #341 stated he was not aware of that hole.

Review of the facility census report dated 12/02/24 revealed 42 residents (#1, #3, #6, #7, #11, #12, #16, #36, #37, #39, #45, #49, #51, #52, #56, #57, #60, #64, #72, #73, #77, #80, #83, #85, #87, #89, #92, #98, #106, #108, #109, #111, #112, #114, #120, #128, #133, #137, #140, #144, #145, and #148) resided on the fourth floor.

THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.

Based on record review and interview, the facility did not ensure the physician and/or nurse practitioner was notified of abnormal laboratory results for Resident #113. This affected one resident (#113) of three residents reviewed for physician notification of laboratory results. The facility census was 144.

Findings include :

Review of the medical record for Resident #113 revealed an admission date of 02/22/24. Diagnoses included intracranial hemorrhage, hyperparathyroidism, cocaine abuse, hypertension, chronic kidney disease stage four, and hemiplegia.

Review of the Minimum Data Set ( MDS) 3.0 assessment dated 06/27/24 revealed cognition was intact and the resident needed substantial assistance to walk ten feet, transfer from the toilet, and transfer from bed to chair.

Review of physician orders dated 07/17/24 revealed an order for CBC ( complete blood count) with differential, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel ( CMP) and magnesium to be drawn on 07/18/24 with special instructions of monitoring for chronic kidney disease.

Review of the progress note dated 07/18/24 at 1:24 P.M. written by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #527 revealed Resident #113 was compliant with blood draw.

Review of the progress note dated 07/18/24 at 1:09 P.M. revealed the Nurse Practitioner (NP) had a follow up assessment for Resident #113 regarding hypertension and chronic kidney failure stage four. The NP noted there were no recent labs to review and to monitor labs as needed.

Review of CMP specimen collected 07/18/24 final report revealed the following lab results: potassium 5.3 milliequivalent (meq) was within normal range ( 3.5 to 5.3 meq/liter), Blood Uria Nitrogen ( BUN) was 71 and high ( normal reference range was 7 to 25 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dl) and Creatinine 3.2 mg/dl was high ( normal reference range was 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dl) .

Review of a progress note dated 07/18/24 at 4:58 P.M. written by Nursing Supervisor (NS) #700 revealed Resident #113's family was notified regarding recent labs that had been ordered and CNP had been in to assess. There was nothing in the progress note to indicate the ordering physician or NP had been notified of the results.

Review of a progress note dated 07/24/24 at 11:05 A.M. written by NA #700 revealed the NP was contacted regarding labs on 07/18/24 and the NP requested new labs to be done STAT (immediately) due to chronic kidney disease.

Review of STAT CMP dated 07/24/24 final report revealed SR #113's potassium was 5.8 meq/dl and high, BUN was 81 and high, and Creatinine was high at 3.6 mg/dl.

Review of a progress note dated 07/24/24 at 6:49 P.M. written by LPN #565 revealed the lab results were reported to the NP and new orders for Lokelma was ordered and a new BMP in the morning. Resident #113 was placed on Normal Saline intravenously (IV) 100 milliliters per hour for one liter. The residents daughter was notified by LPN # 565.

Interview on 08/28/24 at 12:40 P.M. with LPN #527 revealed she faxed the labs drawn on 07/18/24 to the NP on 07/18/24 but the fax did not reach the NP's office to review the labs. LPN #527 confirmed she did not document she faxed these labs to the NP to review and there was no evidence to show the NP ever received and reviewed those labs. LPN #527 verified abnormal labs were considered a change of condition and the NP should have been notified and addressed the abnormal labs.

Interview on 08/28/24 at 1:00 P.M. with the Director of Nursing ( DON) revealed she reviewed labs every morning and if a lab was to be done it was the responsibility of the nurse supervisor to ensure the practitioner was notified at the end of each shift. The floor nurse supervisor received a facility document called Homework to review daily to ensure labs were not missed. The DON stated on 07/22/24 the DON questioned why there was no interventions for Resident #113's high BUN lab level from the lab draw on 07/18/24. After an audit was conducted, NS #700 revealed they did not ensure the NP was notified regarding the high BUN level from 07/18/24 labs.

Review of the facility policy titled Change in Condition dated 06/27/24 revealed the licensed nurse would recognize and intervene in the event of a change in condition. The Provider would be notified as soon as possible.

The deficient practice was corrected on 07/25/24 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:

On 07/23/24 the facility identified that the lab work completed for Resident #113 on 07/18/24 was not reported to the Nurse Practitioner ( NP) .

On 07/24/24 the NP evaluated Resident #113 and ordered a STAT lab to be obtained and a STAT dose of Lokelma was administered and IV fluid was ordered after review of STAT labs.

On 07/24/24 the Director of Nursing (DON) completed audits of all current resident's medical records for validation of laboratory testing and results reported to the practitioner from the past thirty days. All labs were found to have been reported to the practitioner.

On 07/24/24 the DON educated all nursing staff in person or by phone related to immediate reporting of resident change in condition pertaining to laboratory results and timely follow up for physician orders. All education was completed by 07/25/24.

On 07/25/24 the specified nurse was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan regarding follow through with reporting of labs.

On 07/25/24 the facility conducted an Ad-Hoc Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Action Plan to review during the meeting. The Medical Director was in attendance by phone on 07/25/24.

Beginning 07/25/24 the facility implemented a plan for twice a week audits of laboratory testing documentation and reporting results to the physician. The audits will continue for four weeks then monthly times two months. Results of the audits would be submitted to the QAPI Committee for further review and recommendation.

There were no further residents experiencing a change in condition related to laboratory results not reported to the physician or documented as such in the resident records from 07/25/24 to the date of this survey 09/04/24.

This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00157080.

THIS DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THE ON-SITE INVESTIGATION

Based on medical record review, staff interview, resident representative interview, law enforcement interview, review of facility self-reported incidents (SRIs), review of police reports, review of police body camera footage, review of emergency medical services (EMS) run reports, review of hospital records, review of the Facility Assessment, and review of facility policies, the facility failed to ensure Resident #1 was free from physical abuse from Resident #2. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and serious life-threatening harm on 03/12/24 at approximately 5:00 A.M. when Resident #1 was found on the floor in a prone position (face down on the stomach) in his room with blood coming out of the left side of his head and face. The resident was transported to the emergency room. Upon further investigation by hospital staff and law enforcement, it was determined Resident #1 was physically assaulted by Resident #2, who had a documented history of violent behaviors and was Resident #1's roommate. Resident #1 sustained numerous blows to the head and abdomen and injuries including scattered abrasions about the head, significant swelling to the left side of the face mostly over the left eyelid with a laceration present in the area, bleeding on the brain, and a fractured sacrum. This affected one resident (#1) reviewed for physical abuse and had the potential to affect 42 additional residents (#3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45 and #46) who resided on the secure dementia unit were Resident #2 resided.

The injuries were determined to be a result of an incident of physical abuse/assault by Resident #2. The facility did not begin corrective action until 03/18/24 when law enforcement arrived at the facility and informed facility staff Resident #1 alleged the assault by Resident #2, leaving the 43 additional residents residing on the unit at risk for physical abuse from Resident #2 between 03/12/24 and 03/18/24.

The Immediate Jeopardy was removed and corrected on 03/21/24 when the facility implemented the following corrective actions:

On 03/12/24 Resident #1 was transferred to the hospital and did not return to the facility.

On 03/18/24, Resident #2 was placed on one-to-one supervision until discharged to the hospital.

On 03/18/24, the Director of Nursing (DON) notified Resident #2's guardian and physician and orders were received to send the resident to a hospital for a psychological evaluation. Resident #2 was hospitalized from 03/18/24 to 03/21/24.

On 03/18/24, the DON/Designee completed interviews with all interviewable residents who could potentially be affected regarding abuse and neglect. There were no negative findings from the resident interviews.

On 03/18/24, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) #249, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Unit Manager #298, and Registered Nurse (RN) #288 completed skin assessments on all non-interviewable residents to identify any signs or symptoms of abuse. There were no negative findings from the skin assessments.

On 03/19/24, the interdisciplinary team (IDT) consisting of the Administrator, ADON #249, Social Service Designee (SSD) #220, RN #257, Regional Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #350, and LPN Unit Manager #298 reviewed residents with like behaviors, including review of care plans and interventions, and review of all residents and their roommates for compatibility. As a result of the meeting, it was determined Resident #2 was moved to a private room upon readmission to the facility on 03/21/24. There were no concerns found with the other residents during the review.

On 03/18/24, the Administrator/Designee began education with all staff on abuse, neglect, aggressive behaviors, and violent behaviors. The education was completed face-to-face for facility staff working in the facility and via telephone for staff members not present in the facility. Newly hired staff/agency staff were to be educated upon hire and upon assignment to the facility. All education of current staff members was completed on 03/19/24.

On 03/18/24, the DON/designee began audits to include interviews with five staff members three (3) times weekly for four (4) weeks and then monthly for two (2) months to monitor and assess residents for any signs and symptoms of abuse. The results of the audits will be forwarded to the facility Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee for further review and recommendations. All audits through 04/01/24 revealed no concerns.

On 03/18/24, the DON/Designee began audits to include interview with 10 residents who were interviewable and skin assessments on non-interviewable residents 3 times weekly for 4 weeks and then monthly for two months to assess for signs and symptoms of abuse. The results of the audits will be forwarded to the facility QAPI committee for further review and recommendations. All audits through 04/01/24 revealed no concerns.

On 03/18/24, the DON/Designee began audits to review all residents with aggressive and violent behaviors to ensure appropriate interventions are implemented and/or updated to reflect current resident status. All residents will be audited weekly for 4 weeks and then monthly for 2 months to ensure compliance. All audits through 04/01/24 revealed no concerns.

On 03/19/24, the DON/Designee began audits of new admissions and readmissions to the facility to monitor for aggressive and violent behaviors to ensure appropriate interventions are implemented upon admissions. Review of the audits through 04/01/24 revealed no concerns.

On 03/21/24 Resident #2 was readmitted to the facility and placed in a private room as an intervention to decrease the risk for resident-to-resident abuse by Resident #2.

Review of SRIs on 04/09/24, revealed the facility had submitted no additional allegations of resident-to-resident physical abuse since 03/18/24.

Interview with State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #215, STNA #302, LPN #257, and LPN #298, on 04/15/24 between 8:35 A.M. and 8:55 A.M. revealed all staff members interviewed had been educated regarding abuse, neglect, aggressive behaviors, and violent behaviors. All staff members interviewed confirmed they retained knowledge regarding the content of the education provided.

Findings Include:

Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on 03/01/24 with diagnoses that included seizures, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Resident #1 shared a room with Resident #2 on admission and remained roommates until Resident #1 was discharged to a local hospital on 03/12/24 and did not return to the facility.

Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated 03/08/24 revealed Resident #1 was assessed as cognitively intact and required limited assistance from one staff person for completing his activities of daily living.

Review of Resident #2's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on 02/18/20 with diagnoses that included paranoid schizophrenia, paranoid personality disorder, anxiety disorder, and violent behavior.

Review of the most recent MDS 3.0 assessment dated 01/19/24 revealed Resident #2 was assessed as cognitively intact, had active delusions, and required the assistance of one staff person for completing his activities of daily living.

Review of Resident #2's admission paperwork prior to arriving at the facility on 02/18/20 revealed Resident #2 was placed in a psychiatric hospital for physically assaulting another resident and staff person at another nursing facility, causing broken arms in both the staff person and the other resident.

Review of the care plan for Resident #2, initiated on 02/18/20 and revised on 05/24/23, revealed a care plan focus that indicated Resident #2 had a mood problem related to paranoid schizophrenia. Resident #2 had the potential to express himself using verbal or physical violence when he was experiencing elevated feelings. Goals for the care plan focus were for Resident #2 to have improved mood through the next review date. Interventions included administering medications as ordered, monitoring/documenting for side effects and effectiveness, assessing/monitoring/recording/reporting to the medical doctor (MD) as needed for risk for harming others, assessing/recording/reporting to the MD as needed acute episodes or significant changes in mood, assessing/record/reporting to the MD as needed mood patterns signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood as per facility behavior monitoring protocols, behavioral health consults/psychiatric consult as needed or per orders, encouraging the resident to express feelings, allowing them time to talk as needed, allowing for Resident #2 to express himself using active listening, maintaining eye contact, speaking in a calm manner, not challenging him while he was in an elevated emotional state, acknowledging and rephrasing what was frustrating Resident #2 so he was aware that he has been heard, and observing for signs and symptoms of mania or hypomania racing thoughts or euphoria; increased irritability; frequent mood changes; pressured speech; flight of ideas; marked change in need for sleep; agitation or hyperactivity. The care plan included no other interventions to specifically address Resident #2's specific behaviors, triggers, or other concerns to prevent violent and aggressive behaviors.

Review of the Ohio Department of Health's Enhanced Information Dissemination Collection (EIDC) system revealed Resident #2 was involved in 16 separate incidents resulting in facility SRIs across four different nursing facilities being reported to the State agency since 2014. Notable SRIs which occurred in Resident #2's current facility in the reported SRIs investigations included, on 10/23/23, Resident #2 placed Resident #15 in a choke hold during a physical altercation which resulted in Resident #15 biting Resident #2's finger. Review of an SRI on 12/13/23 revealed Resident #2 and Resident #17 were roommates and Resident #17 was noted with swelling and redness to the right cheek. When a nurse attempted to assess Resident #17, the resident indicated he wanted to be left alone. Resident #2 was interviewed about the incident and stated, I punched him (Resident #17) for no reason. Review of an additional SRI on 02/07/24 revealed Resident #2 struck Resident #449, who at the time were roommates, in the lip causing Resident #449 to have a swollen lip.

Review of psychiatrist progress notes from the facility noted the facility's psychiatrist was unwilling to reduce Resident #2's psychiatric medications due to ongoing behaviors. Resident #2 had been most recently seen by facility's psychiatrist for a medication review on 01/17/24 at which time Resident #2 was noted with impaired judgement and incoherent thought process. Resident #2 was documented with medical history of schizophrenia, paranoid personality, violent behavior, anxiety, and schizoaffective disorder. Further review revealed adjustments made since the last visit included an increase in Resident #2's antipsychotic medication Haldol to 300 milligrams every three weeks. Resident #2 was noted to not be a candidate for a dose reduction because of continuing target symptoms and a high risk of relapse if medication was lowered.

Review of a nursing progress note dated 03/12/24 at 8:09 A.M. revealed Resident #1 was discovered on the floor of his room at 5:00 A.M. Resident #1 was laying in the prone position with his head turned to the right and blood coming from the left side of his head. Further review of the progress note revealed staff documented prior to a fall Resident #1 was walking around looking for his wheelchair. The progress note indicated Resident #1 was alert and oriented and able to maintain a conversation with the nurse. Resident #1 was transferred to the hospital for evaluation.

Review of an EMS run report dated 03/12/24 revealed EMS personnel arrived at the facility at 5:07 A.M. Resident #1 was found lying on the ground in his bedroom with a laceration to the back of the head and his left eye was swollen shut. Nursing staff reported to EMS personnel that they did not know what happened, but assumed Resident #1 fell, but confirmed it was unwitnessed incident. Further review of the EMS run report revealed multiple pools of blood were noted on the doorway of Resident #1's room. As EMS transported Resident #1 to the facility's elevator, Resident #1 told the EMS personnel he did not just fall but was kicked in the face (multiple times) by another resident (#2) who lived in the facility.

Review of hospital documentation dated 03/12/24 revealed Resident #1 admitted to the emergency room (ER) with a primary diagnosis of trauma and a left eyelid laceration and intracranial hemorrhage. Resident #1 was brought to the ER as a limited trauma after nursing staff found the resident on the ground, but Resident #1 reported to EMS he was assaulted and kicked multiple times in the head and body. Resident #1 reported to EMS personnel while enroute to the ER that he was assaulted by his roommate and named Resident #2.

Resident #48 stated his sacral wound dressing was not changed the previous shift; the nurse told him he needed to choose between his hip and sacral wounds or his feet wounds because she did not have time to complete both. The nurse wanted to do the dressings to his feet because they had not been done recently.
