V3 said V5 statement was reviewed, and there was not a lot of details, so V5 was asked to come into the facility for an interview. V3 (Administrator) said herself and V6 (DON) interviewed V5 on 8/10/23. V3 said during that interview V5 (CNA) said he got R1 up in the chair, V5 said he transferred R1 using the sit to stand mechanical lift. V3 said V5 said there was no falls, no incidents. V3 (Administrator) said V5 (CNA) stopped responding to the email communications and V5 stopped coming to work. V3 said V5 cannot be reached at the phone number they have on file. V3 said V5 (CNA) was terminated due to no call, no show to work. V5 said she is not aware of R1 having a fall. On 8/20/23, V5 said she did not review facility video surveillance. V5 said she does not know what happened to R1's hip. On 8/21/23 at 8:32am, V6 (DON) said she conducted the investigation for R1. V6 said she did not review video surveillance for her investigation for R1. V6 said she went back 3 days from the date R1 was observed with pain during her investigation. V6 said V5 (CNA) was the staff that worked with R1 prior to R1 being observed with pain and swelling on 8/6/23 in the hip. V6 said all the staff within those 3 days were asked to write a statement. V6 said when reviewing V5 written statement, there was not a lot of details. V6 said V5 was asked to come into the facility for an interview.

V6 said V5 said he was getting R1 up for the day. V6 said V5 (CNA) statement consistently changed during the interview. V6 said R1 is on the get-up list, that's why V5 was getting her up that morning. V6 said if R1 had a fall outside of her room staff would have heard it or saw it.
