CNA #300 was identified as the caretaker who provided care to Resident #108 and CNA #300 was suspended pending investigation. Resident #108 indicated she was hit in the eye but could not recall who did it. A CNA who was working with CNA #300 stated she thought the aide was being aggressive in that she had grabbed the resident's arms and the resident said ow. Resident #108's roommate indicated the nurse was rough with the resident. Neither witness observed Resident #108 being struck in the face or indicated that it appeared the aide intended to hurt Resident #108. It was reported the resident was combative during care and the resident was agitated and aggressive when she was put to bed. The allegation was unsubstantiated due to inconclusive evidence. As a result of the investigation, the facility dismissed CNA #300 from employment. The police were notified and the family opted not to press charges.

Following a thorough investigation, it was confirmed the employee engaged in behavior that violated multiple facility work rules, including harassment in the form of verbal or physical mistreatment, actions that placed a resident at risk of harm, and conduct that demeaned the resident's dignity and showed a lack of courtesy and respect. The incident was reported by the resident involved and corroborated by multiple witnesses.

This conduct is in direct conflict with the facility's commitment to providing compassionate, respectful, and safe care to all residents.
