on the resident, reviewed Resident 94's care plan, removed the CNA from the schedule and reviewed CNA

incident or allegation of abuse by a staff member toward Resident #94 or of any Resident at Capital City
Gardens. None of the statements recalled events of the shift in question or interactions with Resident #94
or CNA #55 during the shift in question. Review of CNA #55's statement revealed he/she denied the
