The Visitor and Resident #1 sat at the table together at the time of the conversation. Record review of video #2, posted online on 11/30/24, reflected the Activities Assistant was at one table, and Resident #1 was at a table near the Activities Assistant. The residents were in the dining hall of memory care watching a movie. The Activities Assistant can be heard asking Resident #1, Why don't you go wash your hands?, Resident #1 replied, I am just teasing her (The Visitor), and the Activities Assistant replied to Resident #1, Go wash your hands. Look at the mess you made. An unknown person in the background stated, It's messy, and Activities Assistant can be heard saying, It is. Resident #1 can be seen rolling up the cupcake papers and napkins and stated to the Activities Assistant, I'll go. Resident #1 asked the Activities Assistant, Where can I wash at, and Activities Assistant replied, Try your room, as she starred at Resident #1. Resident #1 replied, Okay, no problem. I messed up. I have to clean up. Resident #1 was observed gathering the crumbs from the cupcake off the table.
