at 10:30AM V8, R2's family member, stated R2 has dementia and gets out of bed. Bed is in low position.
We have a video recorder in R2's room and saw on video V5 very forcefully manhandle R2 from floor to bed
and forcefully reposition in bed. Stated facility terminated V5. I sent the video in with complaint. Stated R2
can be heard yelling Ouch Ouch. We also sent video to Administrator and police were notified.On 2/6/2026
V1, Administrator, stated I found out about the video on 2/2/2026 the day after it was taken. I found out
about the incident from the family. V5 did not report the incident, did not report R2 fell out of bed and was
on the floor, did not tell the nurse, did not follow policy and did not transfer appropriately. We started an
abuse investigation and fall investigation on 2/2/2026. The Director of Nursing, DON, assessed R2. V5 was
terminated on 2/3/2026 when he came in to work. V5 did not work after the video. R2 is very confused, we
can't even get a Brief Interview for Mental Status, BIMS on him. Surveyor asked V1 if she thought R2 was
intimated by the transfer involving V5. V1 stated I don't feel R2 has the cognition to have been intimidated.
The incident was against policy and inappropriate, but I don't think V5 was trying to hurt R2. V5 had been
here 3 years and never disciplined. I was shocked. The staff and residents loved him.On 2/13/2026 at
3:00PM V4, LPN, stated I was working the evening that R2 was on the floor in his room and V5, CNA,
transferred R2 back to his bed without telling anyone R2 had fallen. I did not find out until a couple of days
later that the incident even happened. I had never known V5 to do anything like that. I worked with V5 as a
CNA before becoming a nurse and he was not one to roughly handle the residents. If a resident is on the
floor the resident is not to be moved until they are assessed, vitals taken, and neuro checks started. V5 did
not tell anyone R2 was on the floor.On 2/13/2026 at 11:00AM V11, Assistant Director of Nursing, ADON,
denied seeing video of V5 picking R2 up off the floor. Stated I had not known V5 to ever do that. I
understand R2 was assessed the next day after the video was shared, and he was not injured. I would
expect any resident that is on the floor to be assessed before being transferred and for a gait belt or
mechanical lift to be used.On 2/13/2026 at 1:10PM V14, Nurse Practitioner, NP, stated I am not familiar with
R2 or the circumstance. If a resident was on the floor, I would expect the use of a gait belt at least and
probably a mechanical lift, not pulling them up and putting them back in bed. 2.R6's face sheet documents
an admission date of 10/31/2025. Diagnosis includes Senile Degeneration of Brain, Hypertensive Heart
Disease with Heart Failure, Congestive Heart Failure, Atrial Fib, Metabolic Encephalopathy. R6's Minimum
Data Set, MDS, dated [DATE] documents Brief Interview for Mental status, BIMS, 4. R6 requires
partial/moderate assistance with mobility, transfers, and walking.R6's care plan updated 12/22/2025: I had
an actual fall related to dementia, poor safety awareness. Interventions include cushion, nonskid footwear,
and a clear pathway.R6's fall assessment dated [DATE] documents R6 is a high risk for falls.R6's progress
note dated 11/23/2025 at 9:40AM documents Certified Nursing assistant, CNA, alerted nurse that R6 was
on floor in another resident's bathroom. R6 located on the floor of the shower in room. R6's head and back
against shower wall with feet pointed toward the door, right leg flexed, left leg extended. R6 was holding left
shoulder with right hand. R6 was tearful and complained of pain in head, left shoulder, buttocks and right
lower extremity. R6 verbalized inability to move. R6 assessed, notifications made, transfer to Emergency
Department, ED. R6's progress notes dated 11/24/2025 at 10:00AM documents Situation: Interdisciplinary
Team, IDT, met and reviewed. According to nurse documentation: CNA alerted nurse that R6 was on floor
in another resident's bathroom. R6 located on the floor of the shower, head and back against shower wall
with feet pointed toward the door, right leg flexed, left leg extended. R6 was holding left shoulder with right
hand. R6 was tearful and complaining of pain in head, left shoulder, buttocks and right lower extremity.

addressed and care planned.
