Resident Assault Due to Lack of Supervision
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from physical abuse when another resident repeatedly hit them with a porcelain toilet tank lid, resulting in serious injuries. The two residents had a history of conflict, and the victim had been exhibiting increasingly agitated and verbally aggressive behaviors throughout the day. At the time of the incident, there were no staff members directly present on the unit, and no interventions were in place to address the aggressor's increased behaviors. The victim was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with an intracranial intraparenchymal hemorrhage and a hypertensive emergency due to the assault. The victim's medical history included bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, psychotic disorder with delusions, and other mental health conditions. The aggressor had a history of behavioral challenges, including teasing and instigating peers, and was known to be manipulative, verbally aggressive, and self-harming. On the day of the incident, the aggressor had been upset about a broken toilet and exhibited verbal aggression towards other residents and staff. Despite attempts to calm the aggressor and plans to send them out for evaluation, the aggressor managed to leave the lobby area and attack the victim. The facility's staff were not present on the unit at the time, and the incident occurred during a shift change, contributing to the lack of supervision and intervention.
Resident Elopement Due to Inadequate Supervision and Security Measures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident did not exit a locked behavioral unit without staff supervision. The resident, who had a diagnosis of traumatic brain dysfunction and other mental health conditions, was able to leave the secured unit by kicking the lock on the courtyard door until it opened. The exit door was left unlocked, and the alarm on the courtyard gate was turned off, allowing the resident to leave the premises without being noticed by the staff. The resident was found two blocks away from the facility. The resident had a history of aggressive behavior and impulse control issues, as noted in their Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review. On the day of the incident, the resident exhibited delusional and paranoid behaviors and expressed a desire to go for a walk, which was not accommodated by the staff. During the shift change, the staff were occupied with other residents, and the resident took the opportunity to leave the facility. Interviews with staff revealed that there was a lack of proper monitoring of the exit doors, and the magnetic lock on the door was compromised. Staff members were not consistently monitoring the back door area, which allowed the resident to exit without supervision. The facility's policy on elopements and wandering residents was not effectively implemented, leading to the resident's unsupervised departure.
