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.

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.
