F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few V4's statement as, Staff told me that (V9) was a little rough with (R3). (V9) was in a bad mood all night, just frustrated and she was saying, I'm over this. I just want to go home. The next day I spoke to (V9) concerning the issue. I asked her if she was rough with (R3). (V9) told me I was short with her. I counseled her on the behavior, telling her that it was unacceptable and how she can't take it out on a resident. I told her if she gets frustrated to walk away and get another staff. There was a hand-written question on V4's typed statement that documented question/answer: Did she describe what she meant by short? No, she didn't. I didn't ask all the details. I checked on (R3) to check her blood sugars and she was fine. The blood sugars were a normal check. At the bottom of the statement another handwritten statement documented, If (V9) raised her voice, sometimes (R3) just looks past you and won't acknowledge you. She might have been trying to get her attention. I believe that whole heartedly. This document had V4's name on it and was signed by V1, Administrator and labeled as phone interview 7/21/23. V16, CNA's written statement, dated 7/17/23 documents, As we were serving supper (R3) started getting agitated and trying to get up, wanting to leave. I told (V4) that it might be a good idea to give (R3) something to calm her down as the day before she had done something to the point she was going after other residents. I assumed she did and the next thing I know she was at the nurse's desk, and the chair alarm was going off. I came down the hall and (V9) was going on about she wasn't dealing with it. I told her to let her go that I would take care of her. I walked down one hall with her, and she turned to go to employee entrance exit so I walked with her not really letting her get around me. We were about to room (xxx) when (V9) approached with (R3's) wheelchair (w/c). As (R3) had her back to (V9), with (V9) behind the chair, she grabbed her waist and forcefully put her in the chair. As she did, she said, Sit the f*** down. (R3's) eyes got big and she became more agitated and started swinging her hands. I again stated to (V9) that I had (R3) and to walk away. Within an hour of this, as (R3) and I was down the hall further by room (xxx) (V9) stood in front of the exit door telling me to let her (R3) go. By this point I had (R3) calmer and it was almost as if (V9) was trying to provoke her (R3). At around 6:15 PM (V9) and (unknown CNA) came out of the breakroom and one of them had made the comment they were getting her chair and she WILL sit down. At this point I almost lost it and told them no one was getting the chair and I had her calmed down and to leave her alone. I told the nurse about the incident. She asked where (V9) was, but by then she was off, and she said she'd let (V2) know. I contacted the administrator the next day, but I was unable to reach her. This handwritten statement was signed by V16. On 12/14/23 at 3:33 PM V1 stated the abuse report regarding V9 and R3 does not say whether the abuse allegation was substantiated or not, but stated it was not substantiated because it was on person's word against another's and there was no proof that it happened. V1 stated she did interviews with staff and residents and the allegation was unfounded due to lack of evidence.
