Yes. Assisted living and memory care operators have a strict duty to protect all residents from foreseeable harm, including aggression from other residents. In memory care units, where conditions like dementia can lead to behavioral agitation or sexual boundary issues, the facility must properly monitor, isolate, or transition aggressive residents. If management ignores warning signs, fails to supervise known aggressive individuals, or leaves units understaffed, they can be held civil earnings-liable for subsequent assaults.
