What to do about resident on resident abuse?

My dad has been attacked by other residents 3 times now. Each time seems to be escalating in how bad it is. This last time he was punched in his face while in bed and looks really bad. No one knew what happened and finally his roomate admitted he did it. Supposedly. I never even heard his roommate talk or move in the times I had been there. They are moving his roommate out and keeping them seperate. And they said a report was filed, but I'm concerned now more then I was before because his eye was swollen shut and he looks really bad. I don't know what to do about it.

Things didn't get taken seriously in a local nursing home until the daughter took pictures of her battered mom to the press... I would seriously doing consider this if I were you.

Call 911 and have your father taken to the ER

Call the ombudsman and report the incident

Are you certain dad is not starting the fights if he has dementia? Is he aggressive?
