The findings include:R1's face sheet showed he was admitted to the facility 8/11/25 with diagnoses to include malignant neoplasm of prostate, acute posthemorrhagic anemia, severe protein calorie malnutrition, depression, hypertension, mild cognitive impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology, muscle wasting and atrophy, and dysphagia. R1's 8/21/25 facility assessment showed R1 is severely cognitively impaired and is dependent upon staff for cares.On 9/10/25 at 12:06 PM, V6 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) said, It was my first day there. I was working with V5 (CNA) at first and was washing people up and assisting to their wheelchairs. V4 CNA asked for help with a transfer, so I went with her. When we went into [R1's] room, [V4] walked up to the bed and said, ‘This is [NAME], he is a f*%ing asshole who thinks because he is a veteran he can treat people like shit.' [R1] looked right at me and said, ‘Help me, they don't treat me well here.' . I watched videos for orientation before starting work there and it was clear what was considered abuse. It talked about using foul language in the presence of residents and she was using many cuss words. I notified staff of my concerns the same day when I left there. I talked to [V7 ADON (Assistant Director of Nursing)].The facility's Resident Abuse Report Form showed an incident reported regarding R1 on 9/4/25 at approximately 6:40 AM.

[V6] describes an encounter between [R1] and [V4 CNA], that she felt was abusive towards the resident. [V6] describes [V4] yelling at [R1] and cussing at him while applying cares. The encounter caused [V6] to feel extremely uncomfortable and resulted in her leaving the building before her shift had ended. An investigation was launched shortly after when Social Services was alerted of the circumstances. there is sufficient evidence demonstrating that verbal abuse has occurred. Camera surveillance matches the details expressed from [V6] following the text message conversation she had with V7. All abuse had taken place within the resident's room and in his presence. Due to the extreme findings of this case; [V4] has been terminated of her duties with [the facility] . On 9/10/25 at 1:10 PM, V7 ADON said the investigation was initiated because [V6] CNA was scheduled to train that morning and she just left in the middle of her shift and didn't tell anyone. V7 said around 1:00 PM that day she texted V6 to see if she could find out why she left the facility without telling anyone. V7 said, That is when she told me she wasn't comfortable and didn't like the way the CNA was talking to the resident. We just kind of continued the conversation from there. V7 said they hadn't had any concerns about V4 so they were surprised by this incident. V7 said the facility has a camera right outside of R1's room and R1's door was open, so they could hear what went on. V7 said V6's description turned out to be accurate.The facility's Termination Documentation Form signed 9/5/25 showed V4's employment was terminated due to
