V10 (Paramedic) stated, When we arrived at the front of the building we were met by the Police. We entered
the building, and the police had gone to the right and said they couldn't find any staff and we went to the
left. We found this guy in a roped off area by himself, no computers or anything at the nurse's station. No

area. We were in the building at least 10 minutes before we saw any staff. We had him loaded on the cot
and ready to go before we ever saw her. On 12/26/25 at 11:50AM V5 (Registered Nurse) stated, It was
around 4:00AM - that is a very busy time, we are passing medications, and the CNAs are busy with patient

and he was sleeping. We do rounds and assess residents every 1-2 hours. He was breathing ok all night. I
