Review of an employee statement written by NA Employee E1 dated 9/3/24, indicated, Before proceeding to do care on [Resident R1] I asked the nurses how she is with transfer and bed mobility. The nurses at the nursing station said [Resident R1] would be fine with care and to get her up if she wants to. So then I proceeded to do my care. When I went in [Resident R1] room the plan was to wash her up and change her. Before washing she wanted to get on bed pan so I proceeded to put her on the bed pan. [Resident R1] grabs the left side of the headboard with her right hand to pull herself over. She did well with pulling herself over so I didn't have to struggle.
