that statement. R1 stated the first time she said anything about it was to V4 RN (Registered Nurse) after
dinner.
On 5/15/24 at 2:01 PM, V6 CNA stated, I worked there up until a couple of weeks ago . [R1] was very nasty
toward me because I wasn't her primary CNA . She is nasty to all new faces . I went back in at about 4:15
PM to get her up for dinner. She was being nasty to the other CNA too. I took her blanket off her lap, and
she wouldn't let me have it. Then [V5] took her blanket off of her and that's when I saw she had her
pajamas on so I knew she couldn't go down to the dining room like that . [R1's] tone of words were sharp,
short, and not friendly at all. She is also confused and should be on the Alzheimer's unit in my opinion.
On 5/15/24 at 2:15 PM, V5 CNA stated, I was outside the room and V6 CNA heard me in the hall. She
asked me to come in and help her. [R1] had a blanket on and I took her blanket off her lap and saw she was
in her nightgown. At that time, I just said, 'Looks like we get her a tray' . I never heard her say anything bad
to anyone. I did hear that there were other residents on another wing that were complaining about [V6]. [V6]
could not have been in [R1's] room very long before I got in there . When we got into the hallway [V6] made
a 'not too smart' comment. It sounded like [R1] must have said something to [V6] before I went into the
room about [V6] being 'nasty to her'. Then in the hall [V6] said to me 'hasn't seen nasty yet'. I was thinking
why would you say something like that out loud in the hall. I told her she should not have said that. We were
100% without doubt in the hallway when she said it but [R1] could have heard it. Other people could have
heard it too. [R1's] room is at the beginning of the hall so there could have even been people around the
corner hear her.
On 5/15/24 at 11:33 AM, V4 RN (Registered Nurse) stated when she came onto her shift on 4/30/24 she
received in report that R1 was already in her pajamas and was going to stay in her room for dinner. V4
stated she did hear someone say something about nasty or you haven't heard or seen nasty yet but when
she looked down the hall, she didn't see anyone. V4 stated when she took R1's medications into her room
after dinner R1 told her about the incident with V6. V4 stated R1 told her V6 ripped her blanket off her lap,
told her she was going down for dinner, and was yelling at her. V4 stated she called V1 (Administrator) right
away and V1 spoke with R1 on the phone to find out what happened. V4 stated V1 told her V6 would be
dismissed from her shift while an investigation was conducted. V4 stated she had heard complaints from
residents before regarding V6's abrasive tone.
On 5/15/24 at 2:53 PM, V9 CNA stated she was not present when the incident occurred but that she was
assigned to R1's hall after V6 was sent home. V9 stated R1 did not say anything to her at all that night
about V6. V9 stated her experience with V6 is that she is very rude to both staff and residents at times and
quite a few residents have complained about her tone. V9 stated V6 would use swear words toward staff
within ear shot of residents as well.
On 5/15/24 at 2:40 PM, V1 Administrator stated, . I interviewed [R1] on the phone when I was told about the
incident. [V4 RN] said [R1] didn't want to go to dinner because she had diarrhea and that [V6] was rude to
her. When I spoke with [R1] she told me about the [V6] grabbing her blanket off of her and that's when she
told me about the comment . [V6] was suspended immediately pending investigation . [V6] had certain halls
she liked to work and if she wasn't on those halls, she would complain . We talked about her tone a lot. [V6]
called and terminated her own employment during the investigation . V1 stated V6 would have been
terminated by the facility had she not self-terminated her employment.
