F 0603
The incident was witnessed by another resident sitting in the hall with Resident #1.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Record review of witness statement written by CNA A reflected she saw the ADON exiting Resident #1's
room with his wheelchair and closing the door. She stated the ADON said, I'm not dealing with him tonight.
Residents Affected - Few
Interview on 07/10/24 at 11:00 AM with Resident #1 revealed he was in the hall outside his room asking
about his shower when the ADON came up to him, mad about something, and stated she was not going to
deal with this tonight. The ADON pushed him into his room and dumped him onto his bed, used a racial
slur, and left the room with his wheelchair, closing the door behind her. Resident #1 stated he had to
position himself in bed. He needed a blanket but could not find his call light button, and no one responded
to him yelling. Resident #1 stated he was able to transfer himself to his wheelchair as long as it was
positioned by his bed. He stated his wheelchair was not brought back to him until the morning. Resident #1
stated he never had any problems with the ADON before, and he thought she was just having a bad day.
The resident stated he did not like being treated like that, and he did not have any injuries from the
encounter.
Interview on 07/10/24 at 11:05 AM with Resident #2 revealed he was sitting in the hall with Resident #1.
Resident #1 was yelling at the staff about a snack, his shower, and just causing chaos with his yelling. He
stated the ADON came over and pushed Resident #1 in his wheelchair into his room and tilted the
wheelchair forward. He stated he saw Resident #1 fall onto his bed. The ADON then brought Resident #1's
wheelchair back to the hallway and closed the door. The ADON then said something to the effect of not
dealing with him tonight.
Interview on 07/10/24 at 1:45 PM with the DON revealed she was not involved in the investigation other
than gathering staff statements. The DON stated when she spoke with the ADON she denied the events
occurred as described. Other staff stated Resident #1 was very disruptive and was cursing at the staff. The
DON initially stated she had written statements from the staff, and she only submitted a phone interview
from CNA A.

CNA A (calls not returned) were unsuccessful.
