recorded on 12/8/25. V1 stated the video showed R1 wandering all over the place for about an hour in the facility. V1 stated no staff were present during that time. V1 stated the video then showed R2 coming out of her room into the hallway to speak to R1. V1 stated, You see them talking in the hall. Then you see (R1) go into (R2's) room with her. Both residents are fully clothed. They are in (R2's) room for about 10-15 minutes. Our cameras only record what is in the hallway, not in resident rooms. Then you see (R2) propelling herself out of the room in her wheelchair. On 12/18/25 at 10:53 AM, V11 Family of R2 stated, (R2) is very confused. Her dementia is getting worse. She thinks every man is her husband. She could get around in her wheelchair. I asked her what happened (on 12/8/25). She told me (R1) laid with her on the bed. Both were fully clothed. The facility knew (R2) had these behaviors and were supposed to watch her, but I guess they weren't watching her that morning.On 12/18/25 at 11:40 AM, V3 Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated if staff see a dementia resident wandering, they are to intervene and redirect the resident immediately. V3 stated facility staff were aware of R1 and R2's wandering behaviors prior to the incident on 12/8/25.
