The DON indicated Resident C was pulling on the right upper arm of Resident D to get Resident D out of her room when a physical therapist walked by and told Resident C not to pull on the arm of Resident D. The DON indicated Resident C let go of Resident D and Resident D fell to the floor. The DON indicated Resident D was sent to the hospital and a right arm fracture was identified; however, surgery was not performed because Resident D was receiving hospice services. During an interview on 1/10/24 at 9:50 a.m., a family friend of Resident D indicated she was aware of the altercation between the two women.
