F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few before. He has fragile blood sugar, so we keep a close eye on him. He never said anything about abuse. I know the protocol for abuse that we have to inform the DON (Director of Nursing), Administrator, right away when we know about it. The family also has to be notified within 24 hours.On February 17, 2026, at 11:16 PM, when asked if any resident had reported an abuse allegation to her, V6 (CNA) stated Yes, one of the residents [R1] I was giving a shower to, reported that months ago a CNA beat him up and I said who? And he said it was [ identified by first name of V5 and V7]. I said I am sorry to hear that. It was about two months ago he told me this. He said that it happened ‘months ago' and that he told the management about it and it was taken care of. I did not tell anybody about it. I did ask the person (V5) about it (don't recall when), and she said that it happened months ago and that it was taken care of a long time ago when they found out about it. So, I did not report it to my abuse coordinator as it was an old case. When I came to work today, I got a report that she (V5) was sent home today. I do not know if she was sent home before (during the initial allegation). On February 18, 2026, at 9:16 AM, V5 clarified that a couple of months ago, she and V6 had worked the same shift (2-10 PM) as V6 had picked up a shift. V5 stated that V6 had given R1 a shower at night. V5 stated that as she and V6 were leaving the facility after the shift, V6 told her that R1 mentioned that he was hit by someone by the name of [first name of V5]. V5 stated that she told V6 that how is this possible because she (V5) has never worked with him. V5 stated that this was the first time she heard about the allegation and that she did not take it seriously as she had never worked with him.On February 18, 2026, at 11:56, V6 clarified that she had heard about this allegation about eight months prior and that it is an old case. V6 stated that it happened when R1 was living in the [NAME] unit where V5 worked. V6 stated At that time we were told that there should be two people anytime we do care for the residents in the West. I thought this case was clear as [V5] was still working in this unit, so I did not report it. V6 stated that V5 always works in the [NAME] unit. V6 stated that R1 was moved from the [NAME] unit to the BHU unit and then to the (name of unit).On February 18, 2026, at 10:01 AM, V1 was informed about what V6 had reported. V1 stated that the name of staff [earlier stated first name] was never mentioned during allegation that R1 made to the insurance agent in December 2025 that a staff member had physically abused him. V1 stated that during facility internal investigation and to the (state surveying agency's) investigator for this allegation, R1 did not mention the name of the staff. V1 stated that V6 should have made administration aware of R1's allegation even though he mentioned that it was investigated. V1 stated that this is to confirm that investigations were carried out and to do another investigation just as it is been done now for this present allegation. V1 added that the allegation of abuse that V6 referred to occurred in the [NAME] unit and it was a different resident and V5's name was not mentioned.
