Resident 1 was observed lying on her right side facing a window with a clear view of the outside and no one was observed to be there. Resident 1 stated, I'm (Resident 1) telling you someone keeps trying to climb through that (her) window. It's three guys and they keep trying to come in. I don't know why they keep trying to keep in. Resident 1 was not able to describe the three men she was seeing. Resident 1 kept repeating there were three men outside her window, and they were at the edge of the window trying to enter despite no one being there. Resident 1 stated the last time the three men tried to enter was the day before (7/28/25) but could not state at what time.During an interview on 7/29/25 at 3 p.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated Resident 1 has been having episodes of hallucinations for approximately three weeks. LVN 1 stated Resident 1 has episodes of confusion and sees things that were not there. LVN 1 stated the biggest thing Resident 1 sees is people in her room and/or people trying to get into her room through the window that were not there. During an interview on 7/29/25 at 3:20 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated Resident 1 had been seeing people outside her window that were not there and attempted to go into her room. CNA 1 stated Resident 1 had been having these hallucinations for two or three months. CNA 1 stated other CNA's (not specific), and nurses (not specific) are aware of Resident 1's hallucinations.During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/29/25 at 3:48 p.m. with Administrator, Resident 1's Electronic Medical Record (EMR), was reviewed.
