and the resident, if interviewable. Any written statements that have been submitted will be reviewed, along
with any pertinent medical records or other documents. Residents to whom the accused has regularly
provided care, and employees with whom the accused has regularly worked, will be interviewed to
determine whether any one has witnessed any prior abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment or

On 02/04/25 at 3:20 PM V6 (CNA) stated she was coming back from break before breakfast. V6 stated as
she was walking down the hall, she heard a thud and turned around. V6 stated she yelled down the hallway
for V7 to help, assisted R1 up, asked if he was okay and left him in the care of V7. V6 again stated she did
not see R1 fall, she heard it. V6 stated she didn't know if R1 hit his head or not.
Residents Affected - Few
On 02/05/25 at 11:16 AM V3 (Medical Director) stated it would be his expectation that the facility would
have any resident who is on any anticoagulant sent to the emergency department for evaluation if they had
any type of head injury rather it was immediately. V3 confirmed he does consider Eliquis to be an
anticoagulant. V3 stated he would consider a bruise on R1's ear resulted from a head injury, especially
given R1's recent fall. V3 stated R1 should have had neurological checks performed and documented.
A facility investigation titled Final Abuse Investigation Report dated 02/10/25 involving R1 documents,
Conclusion and action taken: 1. Based on the results of the investigation the facility has found the following:
a. It is believed (R1) hit head/left ear during a fall noted to have occurred on 1/23/25 in the dining room.
