Mom is in a memory care community. A resident slapped my mom’s hand (reason unknown), but my mom turned around and slapped her in the face.

It depends what you mean by trouble, exactly, but I would expect there to be a record of what took place somewhere; and the staff should now know to supervise the first resident's and your mother's interactions more closely. But in trouble? Like what? Was the first resident hurt, or more than briefly upset?
I have been waiting for the Administrator to call me, he didn’t have a chance to see the report this morning when I met with him so he said he’ll review and speak with the Caregivers to understand what occurred and call me.
I just don’t want mom to be labeled as being mean or combative when she would never intentionally hit someone for no reason. The other resident slapped her hand first and my mom reacted by slapping her in her face.
When it occurred the Caregiver said there was no redness or swollen on either one of them.
men who don't speak but who are difficult to redirect bother others and those that are still vocal tell them to go away and they're then labeled as disruptive
