Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to recognize potential abuse and immediately report an allegation of abuse to the Department. This has the potential to affect all 91 residents in the facility.
Findings include: On 6/18/25, at approximately 6:00 PM, the facility failed to prevent a group of men from entering the facility, smoking marijuana, saying/singing obscenities such as sit your old a** down, f*** you n****, and swinging a leather belt around, while shooting a music video and including two residents (R1, R4), without their permission, in this video that was posted on social media, now showing over 67,000 viewers. On 7/2/25 at 9:30 AM, R4 was observed in the hallway in his wheelchair. R4 stated he found out he was in a video without his permission. R4 stated he was in his room and must have fallen asleep because he was awoken by a loud noise, not a normal noise, and he saw a group of guys cursing, smelling like marijuana, yelling F*** old people. R4 stated the lady at the front desk (V11, Receptionist) didn't try to stop them from coming in the building. R4 stated he called the police because he didn't know what the men were doing. R4 stated a couple of days later he was shown a video posted on social media and he saw CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) in the video just walk by these guys and didn't say anything to them. R4 stated he isn't sure why this was allowed to happen and doesn't feel safe in the facility. R4 stated I can't defend myself and neither can any of the other people that live here, they are sick and that is why they are here, these hooligans, I didn't know if they came in with guns, knives, or what their intentions were. R4 appeared anxious, nervous, and fearful when talking about the incident. R4's Minimum Data Set, MDS, dated [DATE], documents R4 has a BIMS (Brief Interview of Mental Status) score of 15, indicating R4 is cognitively intact. The facility's Final Investigation Report, dated 6/27/25, documents the following: The initial report was submitted on 6/25/25 which was 7 days after the incident occurred. On June 18th, 2025, a group of men entered into the building behind some employees. The receptionist asked them to sign in because they stated they were here to see their granny. Then the men proceeded to laugh and say they were just playing, then a few more men rushed behind him and ran through 100-hall. (V13 and V16) from the dietary department had asked the men to leave once they got down the hall. The men left and exited out the front door. Witnesses say they did have their phone in their hand but wasn't sure at the moment what they were doing or what they were possibly recording. Other staff and residents did witness the phone in their hand, and it seemed like they were recording themselves. Our resident (R4) called the police first and told the receptionist (V11) he called. The men were still hanging out in the parking lot. The DON and the police arrived simultaneously, and the men exited the parking lot. After the video surfaced on 6/25/25, staff notified the administrator that one of the residents (R1) appeared in the video. The video didn't mention any names or identify who theses residents were. They saw a small glimpse of (R4), but he claims he was telling the civilians to exit and stop causing commotion. (R4) is alert and oriented x 4 and he is his own POA. Administrator notified the police again and called R1's family about the event. MD (Medical Doctor) is aware of the event. Residents were interviewed on the 100-hall, they had no concerns and advised they all feel safe. Social Service

So, when a visitor comes, she will be able to see who it is, ask why they are here, and they won't
