They were aggressive toward each other. [Resident #4] tried to kick [Resident #8], but the kick did not land. [Resident #8] threw a cup of water that was in his hand to [Resident #4]. After reviewing the camera, the kick wasn't landed. Further interview at 01:27 PM on 10/30/2023 regarding the incident reporting, the Director of Social Worker stated, The incident on the 18th of February was during a weekend. When I got here on Monday, I reported it. It must be in the afternoon when they reported it to me. The immediate report, I had my laptop with me. I reported it the time they told me that. It shows on the bottom of this report that I reported it 02/18/23 at 11:04 AM. I would not be able to make this up. I don't know; there must be some kind of glitch in the system.

She then stated, What happened is that the resident called her son at about 03:45 PM and had her son to come to the facility. The son reported it at about 07:00 PM, and the time we knew about it, we reported it. For this one in March, it also happened during the weekend. It was reported to me on the 20th. There was a glitch in the system. Both incidents happened the same day during the weekend. I don't know why the system showed 1 month later.

I remember that day [Director of Social Worker] had a problem with her login. We were trying to get in contact with AHCA to see why she couldn't report it.

I don't remember exactly the incident, but I remember we found out on Monday when the son came to report it.
