The Facility's Undated Hand-Written Statement by V3, Environmental Services Director, documents, I
walked into dinning {sic} room, and (R2) was standing next to (R1). (R1) was swatting at (R2) (didn't hit her
yet) trying to get her away. I told (R1) to stop and tried to get (R2) to move. Before I could get (R2) to move
(R1) swatted her mouth. I got (R2) to move shortly after.
On 9/10/24 at 12:18 PM, V3, Environmental Services Director, stated she was walking through the dining
room after breakfast and saw R1 shooing at R2, trying to get her to go away. She stated she was trying to
get in and separate them, but before she could get there R1 tapped R2 on the mouth.
The Facility's Final Report sent to IDPH on 8/29/24 documents, Based on the known facts from medical
record review and interview, the following conclusions have been determined about the original allegation:
physical abuse is founded.

The Facility's Abuse Policy and Prevention Program 2022 revised 10/2022 documents, This facility affirms
the right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property,
deprivation of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect,
