face that looked like an evil laugh. Resident #3 said LVN A arrived, got resident #2 by the wheelchair and
took him completely off the hall. Resident #3 said he didn't know what happened after that, but he thought
Resident #2 went to a behavior hospital because he hadn't seen him again since then. Resident #3 said

Resident #1 said if she was in danger or hurt she would report it to the office. Resident #1 said there were
no witnesses to the incident because no one was on the porch.During an interview on 08/15/2025 at 09:30

left hand was twisting inside of Resident #1's vagina. CNA B said Resident #1 looked scared, holding her
teddy bear on her chest. CNA B said Resident #1 said she didn't want Resident #2 there. CNA B said this
was her first time seeing Resident #2 do something like this and she had never seen Resident #2 naked but
he liked to sleep naked. CNA B said she was shocked, Resident #2 was not perverted. CNA B said she saw
Residents #1 and #2 talking before in the front foyer, but nothing sexual or romantic with each other or with
any other female. CNA B said Resident #2 said he just wanted to make Resident #1 feel good because he
knew he would feel good. CNA B said Resident #2 said Resident #1 didn't say he couldn't do it. CNA B said
she didn't think Resident #2 knew Resident #1 was confused. CNA B said she and LVN A were the first to
show up and that LVN A told Resident #2 to stop and he stopped. LVN A took Resident #2 out of Resident
#1's room. CNA B said she really thought Resident #2 didn't think he was doing anything wrong; he was not
confused and had his right mind. CNA B said she thought Resident #2 didn't know Resident #1 didn't want
him to touch her vaginal area. CNA B said CNA C sat with Resident #2 until CNA D arrived to relieve him.
CNA B said after LVN A removed Resident #2 from the room and interviewed Resident #1, she continued
with her assignments she didn't know what happened after that. CNA B said she was in-serviced on abuse
and neglect and on how to recognize consensual versus non-consensual touching and to report
immediately to the Administrator who was the abuse coordinator.During an interview on 08/15/2025 at 5:10
p.m., CNA C said he worked the 2p-10p shift and sat 1:1 with Resident #2 from 2:30 p.m. to about 3:30
p.m. when CNA D arrived and took over the 1:1 until Resident #2 left the building. CNA C said Resident #2
was agitated because he couldn't go back to his hall. CNA C said he and Resident #2 were on hall 100.

wrong. CNA C said Resident #2 said he felt like he was being prosecuted because he couldn't go to his
room. CNA C said Resident #2 was usually quiet and not get into arguments. CNA C said CNA A instructed
him to do 1:1 because of the incident and they were keeping Residents' #1 and #2 separated. CNA C said
he washed the resident's hands. CNA C said he did not see the female resident. CNA C said he did not do
any documentation because he only had him for an hour to 45 minutes and the Resident didn't go
anywhere or do anything. CNA C said he was trained on abuse and neglect, to report immediately to the
abuse coordinator who was the Administrator and how to identify signs and symptoms of inappropriate
sexual behaviors such as crying, saying no or moving away and what it looks like when someone is
consenting versus not consenting to sexual activity such as kissing back or touching back. CNA C said he
would report all sexual behavior inappropriate and consenting and non-consenting to the DON and
Administrator.During an interview on 08/15/2025 at 5:50 p.m., CNA D said she got to the facility about 3:00
p.m., because CNA B called and asked if she could sit 1:1 with Resident #2. CNA D said when she got to
the facility around 3:00 p.m. CNA B told her it was for allegations of inappropriate behavior with Resident
#2. CNA D said she didn't document anything because she stayed with Resident #2 the whole time on hall
100 because the residents were to be kept apart until he was transferred to a behavior hospital. CNA D
said Resident #2 would say I did not do anything wrong. CNA D said she provided care for Resident #2
before, and she never saw him make any sexual advances towards Resident #1 or towards any other
female resident. CNA D said she didn't think they were a couple because she never saw them together and
Resident #1 needed constant redirection to where her room was because she had some confusion. CNA D
said Resident #2 had very good understanding, but had said he and Resident #1 were in a relationship for
a couple of months and in his mind he thought they were in a relationship. CNA D said she didn't think
Resident #2 was a danger to anyone else. CNA D said she was in-serviced on and

wheelchair and Resident #2 was asking what's wrong saying he didn't do nothing wrong; we were two
consenting adults. The ADON said Residents #1 and #2 were immediately separated. Resident #2 was
taken to hall 100 to do 1:1 and she interviewed Resident #1 along with LVN A and CNA B. The ADON said
when she saw Resident #1, she did not seem afraid and was not crying and said she did not give consent,
he (Resident #2) came into her room and told her to lay back. The ADON said Resident #1 said she
grabbed her baby which was a bear and put it on her lap and then he (Resident #2) asked her (Resident
#1) to lay back again, and Resident #2 started touching her vaginal area. The ADON said Resident #1 said
she wasn't OK with that, when Resident #2 first started touching her vaginal area and she didn't enjoy it at

friends, and she was not OK at first with him digging in her brief. The ADON she said she interviewed
