the DON's office door, across from the nurses' station, as he informed Resident #13 she could not swear at
AD #101. The Administrator stated his voice was light and casual and he did not feel anyone overheard the
conversation.
Interview on 06/04/25 at 3:42 P.M. with AD #101 revealed she had a conversation with Resident #13,
Ombudsman #66 and the DON regarding puzzles in the activity room. AD #101 stated she was quiet and
listened throughout the conversation but Resident #13 began to yell at her. AD #101 stated she had said
the issue was Resident #13 yelling and she was not sure what else to do.
Review of a statement dated 06/02/25 from Ombudsman #66 revealed she spoke with the DON and
Resident #13 about concerns regarding space for puzzles in the activity room and AD #101 was invited to
join the conversation. Resident #13 was upset she would not have space for puzzles because it had been
her routine for 10 years. The Ombudsman requested if one table could be made available in the activity
room and AD #101 rolled her eyes, turned to Resident #13, and began arguing that she had more residents
than just her to think about, and she would not hold up the activity room for puzzles. Ombudsman #66
interjected and stated Resident #13 was asking for one table and AD #101 stated Resident #13 was rude
and always wanting to argue. Resident #13 stated she did not want to argue but AD #101 had been rude to
her and she did not feel comfortable with her. AD #101 then told Resident #13 she was lying, and the
puzzles would be removed from the activity room on 07/01/25. The Ombudsman then asked if she, AD
#101, the DON and Administrator could have a conversation away from the resident due to Ombudsman
#66 being uncomfortable with AD #101 arguing with the resident.
Interview on 06/04/25 at 3:12 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed she had been talking with
Ombudsman #66 and Resident #13 about the concerns with puzzles when AD #101 joined the
conversation. The DON stated Resident #13 raised her voice at AD #101 and stated she felt belittled and
bullied. The DON stated AD #101 had to raise her voice slightly to speak over Resident #13 who was
yelling at her. The DON stated AD #101 waved her hand in a gesture towards Resident #13 and stated I
can't even do my job because of this whole situation and she wasn't going to be told what to do in her
office. The DON stated she did not feel the comment and gesturing was very professional and it was not the
right thing to do.
Review of a policy titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation dated 2001 revealed mental and
verbal abuse was the use of verbal or non-verbal conduct which causes or has the potential to cause a
resident to experience humiliation, intimidation, fear, shame, agitation, or degradation. Verbal abuse
includes verbal, written, or gestured communications, or sounds to residents within hearing distance. An
example is isolating a resident from social interaction or activities. Allegation of abuse should be
investigated and reported.
