approximately 10:15 AM it was mentioned that R2 was found in R1's bed the night before. V1 Administrator

interviewed. V4 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated she worked the evening before (8/27/24) and
witnessed R2 on top of the covers in R1's bed kissing R1 on the cheek. V4 stated she called down the hall
for V5 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to come and assist. V5 LPN stated V4 called for her to come and
help because R2 was in R1's bed. Neither V4 nor V5 reported the incident to V1 Administrator/Abuse
Coordinator.
R1's Medical Diagnoses list dated September 2024 documents R1 is diagnosed with Multi-System

On 9/4/24 at 3:50 PM V5 Licensed Practical Nurse stated on the evening of 8/27/24 at approximately 8:30
PM V4 CNA called her down to help get R2 out of R1's bed. V5 stated when she got down to R1's room, V4
had helped R2 off the bed and she was standing beside R1's bed. V5 stated R2 was removed from R1's
room. V5 stated she asked V4 why she called her down there and V4 stated R2 was in R1's bed. V5 stated
if that was the case, V4 needed to call V1 Administrator and report it. V4 confirmed she herself did not
report the incident to V1 Administrator.

approximately 8:30 PM she observed R2 laying in bed beside R1. R2 was on top of the covers cuddling
with R1 and gave R1 a kiss on the cheek. V4 stated she yelled for the nurse on duty (V5 LPN) and went
into R1's room and told R2 to get up, that R1 was not her husband, and she needed to go back to her own
room. V4 stated she removed R2 from R1's room. V4 stated V1 Administrator should have been notified of
the incident as potential abuse however V4 thought that V5 LPN was going to call and notify V1, and she
apparently did not.
On 9/5/24 at 11:45 AM V1 Administrator confirmed staff should always immediately report potential
incidents of abuse to the Abuse Coordinator (V1). In this case, V4 CNA should have reported the incident to
V1 Administrator when it occurred. V1 confirmed the incident was not reported to the Department of Public
Health.
