She was able to take the cane away and the 2 residents were separated. No one at the facility informed her about Resident H's previous physically aggressive behaviors. She would have wanted to know, so she knew how to approach him. She was only informed if a resident was incontinent, could ambulate, stuff like that. She didn't find out about behaviors until an incident happened. She was never told he came from a psyche place. If other staff knew he was physically aggressive, she didn't understand why he was placed in a room with another resident. The investigative file included a 2/7/22 written statement from LPN 2. It read, I was on [name of other unit] nursing station. I heard help. Myself and the nurse on [all male unit where Residents H and J resided] ran down the hall.

She did not witness contact, just attempts at contact, but Resident J had a bump on his face, so she could tell there was contact. Resident H was saying he wanted it be only his room and 'this man is in my room.' They got the cane away from Resident H and explained to him that it was Resident J's room too. They did not foresee this incident occurring. Resident J was quiet, passive, and cooperative, in her opinion, but she did not work that particular unit a lot. After the incident, Resident J was very sensitive, cried, and was saying he got beat up. LPN 2 reassured him, and informed him he would be going to the ER. Resident J was bleeding from his head, and she thought he had cuts to his head. As far as new admissions, they just received a resident's standard intake form, their likes and dislikes. She was unaware Resident H had a history of [MEDICAL RECORD OR PHYSICIAN ORDER] . All staff anticipated behaviors, as they have a constant eye. She remembered when Resident H arrived at the facility, and he seemed okay. She was uncertain why or how they became roommates, and didn't know the dynamics of admissions.

I turned my back on him and turned back around when he poked me in the face with the end of his cane. Then he hit me on the back of my head with the long part of the cane. I fell down on my hands and knees to try to crawl away from him. I guess he stopped and left the room when he decided that I was no longer a threat to him. The back of my head hurts now. I just don't want him to be in my room when I get home and want to press charges against him.' .Patient report 8/10 headache, 8/10 'lump' on back of head, and 'seeing spots' since the incident Patient's ECF [name and title of facility nurse] reports that the assailant has been moved to another empty room so patient will have his own room when he returns to the ECF.

An interview was conducted with SSD 3 on 6/22/22 at 1:30 p.m. in regards to how it was determined Resident H and Resident J would be roommates. He indicated they discussed new admissions and roommates during IDT meetings. Resident J was verbalizing he wanted a roommate. They were actively looking for someone to room with him, and Resident H was the next admission to Resident J's unit, so he became his roommate. SSD 3 knew of Resident H's history of physical aggression. He was informed the aggression was at home, prior to his hospitalization , and had been sober for 60 days prior to admitting to the facility. An interview was conducted with SSD 3 on 6/23/22 at 9:44 a.m. He indicated the previous DON (Director of Nursing,) the other facility SSD, the ED, and he all would have known about Resident H's history of physically aggressive behaviors. He was uncertain what information about that was given to nursing staff on the unit. On 6/23/22 at 9:56 a.m., an interview was conducted with DON 8, the facility's previous DON when the 2/7/22 incident occurred. She indicated Resident H just admitted to the facility, and was placed on the all male unit of the facility, because he had issues with his daughter, but was unsure exactly what those issues were. They thought he would be fine residing on that unit. Resident H fell after his family left, and then was in the room with Resident J, who came in a bit later. Resident H thought Resident J was coming in to steal his stuff. She didn't recall if she actually read resident H's referral, or if it was brought up in morning meeting. She only recalled he was physically aggressive with his daughter. She did not communicate that information to nursing staff on the floor. Normally, they would give the nursing staff on the floor a heads up, just in case that specific family member came in to visit. In this case, they thought it was all about the daughter. They didn't know anything about him being aggressive towards anyone else. They didn't get very much information on him before he came. It was a bit more of a surprise that the incident happened.

It read, 9/5/19 At approximately 9:30 am (name of Certified Nursing Assistant-CNA 7), CNA observed (name of Resident B) touching the breast and groin area of (name of Resident F) as they were sitting next to each other in the common area. (Name of CNA 7) stated she separated the two residents and reported the altercation (sic) the Charge Nurse. The altercation was then reported to the Executive Director. (Name of Resident B) was placed on direct supervision. (Name of CNA 7). The investigative file included a 9/5/19 written statement from CNA 8. It read, On 8/31/19 I (name of CNA 8) witnessed (name of Resident B) touch (name of Resident F's) private area. I reported it to my charge nurse immediately and removed resident. On 9/5/19 I witnessed (name of Resident B) touching (name of Resident F) again by putting his hands in her shirt and touching her breast. Staff removed residents hand and moved them away from each other and reported to nurse immediately. An interview was conducted with CNA 8 on 11/1/19 at 9:30 a.m. She indicated she witnessed Resident B inappropriately sexually touch Resident F on 2 different occasions. The first time was a Saturday, and they were sitting next to each other in front of the television on the Chatham Unit, about to do activities. CNA 8 looked over and Resident B was groping Resident F between her legs on the outside of her pants. Resident F was asleep at this time. CNA 8 informed LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) 9 and UM (Unit Manager) 10 of the incident immediately after separating the residents, pushing Resident B's wheel chair so he was not sitting next to anyone. The second time happened a few days later, when she and CNA 7 were lining residents up for activities. We were short staffed. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Residents were lined up in a line, when CNA 7 called CNA 8's name. Resident B had his hand in Resident F's shirt, on the inside, groping her breast. CNA 8 was by the exit door. CNA 7 was by the other door and they were both trying to get to Resident B to stop him. CNA 8 got there first and removed his hand from Resident B's shirt. Resident F was asleep during this time. CNA 8 reported this immediately to LPN 9, UM 10, the DNS (Director of Nursing Services), and the ED (Executive Director.) The second time, when they were lined up next to each other, Resident B was pushed there. I may have pushed him over there. That's on me. The day was crazy. It didn't dawn on me they were by each other. After the first occurrence, CNA 8 wasn't given any new interventions to implement. I definitely tried to keep (name of Resident B) away from female residents. After the first incident, no one questioned CNA 8 about the incident. After the second incident, the ED informed CNA 8 that she should have reported the first incident to him immediately. I didn't know I was supposed to call (name of ED) for resident to resident. I just thought staff to resident. CNA 8 thought AA (Activity Assistant) 11 may have been working when the first incident happened, but was unsure. An interview was conducted with AA 11 on 11/1/19 at 10:46 a.m. She indicated she witnessed Resident B inappropriately sexually touch Resident F on 2 different occasions, neither of which were 8/31/19 or 9/5/19. A couple of months ago in July, 2019, AA 11 witnessed incidents between Resident B and Resident F twice. The first time, AA 11 saw Resident B's hand on Resident F's leg, next to her private area. AA 11 informed Resident B that was not appropriate. Resident B asked why not. AA 11 informed Resident B he couldn't touch Resident F, so Resident B removed his hand and, AA 11 moved Resident F elsewhere. AA 11 stated, His hand was on her lap. The second occurrence was about 3 weeks later. Resident B's hand was inside of Resident F's shirt, rubbing her breast. I did not report the hand under her shirt to the ED. I probably should have. I just reported to the charge nurse. There was no information in Resident B or Resident F's clinical records referencing the 2 incidents witnessed by AA 11 in July, 2019 or the 8/31/19 incident witnessed by CNA 8. The investigative file included a 9/5/19 written statement by CNA 7. It read, On today (MONTH) 5th, 2019 I noticed the resident (name of Resident B) with his hands inappropriately placed on another resident in a sexual manner. I rushed over to stop (name of Resident B) by removing his hands out of her shirt. By then I notified my nurse and unit manager. I separated the two on separate sides of the room. The investigative file included a 9/5/19 written statement by LPN 9. It read, This morning after breakfast staff reported male resident was inappropriately (sic) touching female resident. No other incident had been reported to me before this one, nor have I witnessed resident touching other residents. The investigative file included a 9/5/19 written statement by UM 10. It read, On Thursday 9/5/19 was the first time that it was reported to me that (name of Resident B) had inappropriately touched a female resident. I asked staff is this the first time he has done this and had he tried (sic) to do it to staff and I was told no. I then went to the large conf (conference) room and informed the ED (name of ED) and DNS (name of DNS) about the incident. An interview was conducted with the ED on 10/31/19 at 2:15 p.m. He indicated after investigating the 9/5/19 incident between Resident B and Resident F, he substantiated sexual abuse.
