The Administrator did not say if that negated an investigation into an allegation of verbal abuse. The Administrator explained the roommate stated CNA K said something about resident #77's mother. She acknowledged CNA K told resident #77 to mind his own business.

CNA L needed help getting the roommate up for an appointment and asked 3 other CNAs to assist which included CNA K. The staff were having trouble with the transfer and resident #77 started yelling at them to use the blue pad in the resident's drawer. The Administrator stated that according to their investigation, resident #77 continued to yell and cursed at the staff. The investigation showed that CNA K did tell resident #77 to mind his own business and said, your mama but denied using a curse word. The Administrator stated CNA K's remarks were not the level of communication she would expect a staff member to have with a resident and acknowledged it was inappropriate. The Administrator stated her expectation for any employee who heard a resident make an allegation was to report it immediately. She acknowledged the staff member did not report the incident and confirmed she was not aware of the incident until brought to her attention by state surveyors.
