During an interview on 12/13/22 at 11:33 AM, Resident #32 was asked about the food at the facility and explained he had been asking for cold cereal for breakfast and the nurses said it's too far away (for them to get it). During this continued interview at 11:38 AM, when asked if he was treated with respect and dignity, Resident #32 stated, The CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) are lazy. When asked why he said that, the resident explained when you ask for something like assistance they say, you can do it. When asked how that makes you feel, Resident #32 stated, like there is a shortage (of CNAs). Resident #32 further stated, Some of the CNAs can't speak English. I can't understand them, and they don't understand me. During a subsequent interview on 12/15/22 at 1:20 PM, Resident #32 again stated that some of the CNAs have an attitude.
