25 | At approximately 12:15PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chris Arnhold arrived at this facility unannounced to conduct a case management visit in regards to an incident report and a suspected elder abuse report, (SOC341) submitted by the facility. LPA met with Administrator Allison Fitch, toured the facility and reviewed records. The incident involved a resident who refused to cooperate with staff and then became assaultive. While resident was assaulting staff, staff attempted to defend themselves which resulted in some bruising and a small skin tear on residents wrist. Staff member received multiple bruises on the arms from defending the assault. LPA reviewed resident records and found numerous incidents where resident was assaultive with both staff and other residents. In each incident, facility notified responsible parties and adjusted resident care plan to address the behaviors. There are ongoing communications with responsible parties to locate a more appropriate level of care for resident. LPA reviewed staff training records and found staff received training on 08/25/2021, on Dementia residents and how to deal with this sort of behavior.
Based on information received during this visit, facility followed regulation and training in dealing with a combative resident. LPA requested another refresher training for staff, to ensure continued compliance.
