Findings include: On 09/19/2025 at 9:47AM, V3 (R1's Family Member) states she transferred R1 to another nursing home and her uncle went to pick R1's items up from the facility. V3 states her uncle noticed chocolate leaking on R1's clothes and all of R1's things were placed in one bag and on a filthy cart. On 09/23/2025 at 11:39AM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) states she was out of the facility and received a phone call from V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) informing her that R1's male family member arrived to the facility to pick up R1's belongings. V2 states the facility was not aware that R1's family would be picking up R1's belongings. V2 states to her understanding, R1's clothes were placed in a clear plastic bag and given to R1's male family member. V2 states V6 (LPN) told her that she would let a Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA staff member pack up R1's belongings. V2 states the male family member refused to take R1's clothes and only took a picture of R1's belongings. V2 states she later found out that R1's male family member refused to take R1's belongings due to them being covered in chocolate.

V2 states she informed V1 about the matter and later asked V1 (Administrator) if V3 had contacted her and V1 said V3 had not contacted her yet.

V2 states resident belongings should be packed properly and food items are not supposed to be packed with clothing items. On 09/23/2025 at 2:23PM, V6 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) states R1's brother came to the facility to pick up R1's belongings but she was unaware of where R1's belongings were located. V6 states she then called V2 (DON) and sent V7 (CNA) to go and try to locate R1's belongings. V6 states she is not sure who packed R1's belongings but V7 came back with R1's bag already packed and brought it down on a rolling cart. V6 states R1's brother refused to take R1's belongings due to chocolate being spilled all over R1's clothes. V6 states she saw there was a bottle of chocolate syrup located inside of R1's clothing bag and had wasted all over R1's clothes.
