This requirement was not met as evidenced by: Through interview of staff and review of documentation, LPA learned that staff S1 repeatedly pulled resident R1 by the arms at the dining table and told her to sit forward or she would not feed her. She also fastened a seatbelt around R2 in her wheelchair when R2 could not unbuckle the belt; and pulled R2 backwards down the hallway, while R2 said to stop, it was hurting; and pulled R3 by the arms down the hallway. This potentially caused an immediate health and safety hazard.
