admission date of 02/02/25. Diagnoses included epilepsy, dementia with agitation, anxiety disorder, and
cognitive communication deficit. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated
[DATE] revealed Resident #124 had intact cognition and no noted behaviors during the seven-day look back
period. Further review of Resident #127's medical record revealed no documented concerns related to
alleged abuse. Review of the police report dated 11/11/25 revealed the officer was called to the hospital
regarding reported elder abuse that occurred at the nursing facility. The officer spoke with Resident #124
who stated to the officer that she was assaulted sometime within the last two weeks at the nursing facility.
Resident #124 claimed that someone placed their hands on her wrists causing injury while she was in her
wheelchair. The officer did not observe any visible injury on her wrists. Resident #124 was unable to say
who assaulted her or provide any kind of suspect description. The officer went to the facility for follow-up
regarding this incident. The officer spoke with Resident #124's case worker, Licensed Social Worker (LSW)
#537, in her office. LSW #537 stated that she is unaware of any incidents of assault, and no staff members
have any documented incidents with Resident #124. Interview on 11/24/25 at 4:33 P.M. with LSW #537
revealed she recalled speaking with the police officer regarding Resident #124's allegation of abuse, but
could not recall who, and also about family trying to steal her money. LSW #537 stated she talked with
Resident #124 when she returned from the hospital, and the resident told her that she could not recall
anything that happened before she went to the hospital. LSW #537 stated that she told the Director of
Nursing (DON) about the police officer's visit. LSW #537 stated the police officer did not leave her a report

had said something in the hospital about money and when the police came LSW #537 showed them the
transactions that family did not have access to the resident's account. The DON stated she knew nothing
about her allegation of abuse and this was the first she had heard of it. The DON stated she would have
filed a self-reported incident (SRI), reported it, and done an investigation. Review of the undated facility
