and told her to shut the hell up. I asked he if she was okay, and she said yes. She did not have any notable
injuries. I asked her why (RCP D) would have done that, and she said she did not know. I informed her that
I would tell the administrative team, and someone would come speak to her. I then went to the social

During an interview on 04/09/25 at 10:59 a.m., LVN B said she did not know the specific date of the incident
concerning Resident #1. She said RCP A came to her and told her what Resident #1 had reported to her.
LVN B said RCP A told her that Resident #1 said RCP D threw a blanket over her head and told her to shut
the hell up. She said Resident #1 did not like RCP D. She said she went in to talk to Resident #1. She said
Resident #1 told her that RCP D threw a blanket at her head and told her to shut the hell up. She said
Resident #1 told her she did not like RCP D, and she was going to try to get another aide in trouble
because she did not like her either. She said the EDO (the Abuse Coordinator) was not in the facility at the
time, so she did not report the allegation to her. She said she reported the incident immediately to the
social worker. She said she was told later that she should have reported the incident to the EDO.
During an interview on 04/09/25 at 11:33 a.m., the Social Worker said she interviewed Resident #1 on the
morning of 4/1/25 after the incident was reported to her by LVN B. She said LVN B told her Resident #1 was
upset with RCP D. The Social Worker said Resident #1 told RCP D threw a blanket on her head. She said
the only other thing she told her was that RCP D did not apologize. She said Resident #1 never told her that
RCP D said to shut the hell up. The Social Worker said Resident #1 always upset with someone. She said
the resident made false accusations against staff. She said she knew the allegation was reported to her
before the morning meeting. She said she was disciplined for not reporting the allegation to the EDO. She
said she never reported the allegation to the Administrator and did not know how she found out. She just
brought me into the office.
During an interview on 04/09/2025 at 12:40 p.m., the Social Worker said she said she just did not pay
enough attention to what LVN B was telling her. She said she thought LVN B was reporting the behavior of
Resident #1 and not that RCP D may have done something abusive. She said she did not realize that it was
an abuse allegation until after she was called into the EDO's office. She said she interviewed the resident
after leaving the EDO's office and that was when Resident #1 told her that RCP D had thrown the blanket.
During an attempted interview on 04/09/2025 at 1:55 p.m., a call was made to interview RCP A. There was
no answer. Left a detailed message requesting a return call. A return call was not received.
During an interview on 04/09/2025 at 2:27 p.m., RCP D said she did not know anything about the allegation
made by Resident #1 until she was questioned about it. She said she never threw a blanket. She said she
never told the resident to shut up. She Resident #1 was upset with her because she did not pick up the
evening meal tray as fast as she wanted her too. She said she did bring Resident #1 a blanket and when
she spread the blanket out it did cover her face. She said she immediately removed the blanket and told her
she did not mean for that to happen. She said she apologized to the resident. She said she had been
reassigned and would not be providing care to Resident #1.
During an interview on 04/09/2025 at 2:41 p.m., LVN B said RCP A reported the allegation made by
Resident #1 at approximately 10:00 a.m. She said she reported the incident immediately to the Social
Worker. She said she did not report it to the EDO because she was not at the facility at the time. She said
she was told later that she still should have notified the EDO. She said she really was not thinking about
abuse. She said she was thinking more about the resident's behaviors and had been told to report any
behaviors to the social worker. She said she then told the DCO at approximately 12:45 p.m.
During an interview on 04/09/25 at 2:51 p.m., the DCO said the allegation of abuse made by Resident #1
was reported to the state on 04/01/25 but happened on 03/31/25. She said Resident #1 had asked

to speak to her. She said Resident #1 told her RCP D got a blanket and threw it on her from the hallway.
She said there were no witnesses to the incident. She said RCP D told her she fanned the blanket out and
it went in the resident's face accidently. She said she pulled the blanket down immediately. She said when
she first started interviewing RCP D, she did not know what she was talking about. The DCO said she
found out about the allegation at approximately 1:00 p.m. on 04/01/25. She said she talked to LVN B. She
said LVN B told her she was following instructions from a previous DCO to report any behaviors of Resident
#1 to the Social Worker. She said Resident 1's version differed depending on who she told the allegation to.
She said she was the one who reported the incident to the EDO. She said she would have expected for the
Social Worker to have reported the incident to the EDO immediately after it was reported to her by LVN B.
She said allegations of abuse not being reported timely could lead to abuse possibly continuing if it was
actually occurring.
During an interview on 04/09/25 at 3:28 p.m., the EDO said Resident #1 alleged that evening (03/31/25)
RCP D threw a blanket from the hallway that landed on her head and told her to shut the hell up. She said
RCP D said she got the resident a blanket. Unfolded the blanket, fluffed it out and touched the resident on
the face. RCP D said she removed the blanket and said she was sorry. She said Resident #1 then reported
the allegation of abuse to RCP A. The EDO said she was not in the building at the moment. She said RCP
A told LVN B about the allegation made by Resident #1. She said LVN B ended up reporting the allegation
to the Social Worker. She said once she found out about the allegation, she sent the Social Worker home
and did a one on one with her after she returned to worked. She said LVN B and RCP A was given one on
one education also. She said it was about three hours from the time the allegation was made to RCP A and
LVN B and the time she found out about the allegation. She said the DCO was who reported it to her
around 1:00 p.m. She said she would have expected RCP A, LVN B, and the Social Worker to have
reported the allegation to her sooner. She said she was out of the facility, but her number was at the desk,
and they could have called her. She said she expected all allegations of abuse to be reported to her
immediately. She said allegations not being reported timely limited her options to intervene and take action.
Record review of an Abuse facility policy last revised on 01/01/23 indicated, .The facility staff will adhere to
the policies and procedures and will follow the guidelines in the written policy and procedure .All events that
involve an allegation of abuse or involve a suspicious serious bodily injury of unknown origin must be
reported immediately or not later than 2 hours of alleged violation .

During an interview on 04/09/25 at 1:18 p.m., LVN C said he went in Resident #2's room. LVN C said
Resident #2 said she was wet and needed to be changed. He said the resident said he could change her.
LVN C said he raised the bed up so he would not hurt his back. He said when he rolled Resident #2, he
leaned against the bed and the bed rolled. He said the bed had appeared to be locked but the bed still
rolled. He said Resident #2 hit the bed pretty hard. He said the bed was actually out from the wall and it hit
the wall hard when it rolled. He said there was no bruising at the time of the incident and the resident had
no complaints. He said he then finished changing Resident #2. He said all of this happened at the end of
shift. He said he did an incident report and initiated neuro checks on the resident because she hit the wall
so hard. He said the resident never complained of foot pain to him. He said there were no other staff in the
room at the time of the incident.
During an interview on 04/09/2025 at 2:03 p.m., the Director of Plant Operations said after the incident
concerning Resident #2, he was called to check Resident #2's bed. He said the bed had six different
brakes. He said one brake was loose but the other 5 were in good working order. He said there was not a
mechanical reason the bed should have moved if the brakes were locked.
During an interview on 04/09/2025 at 2:51 p.m., the DCO said LVN C told her he was performing
incontinent care for Resident #2. LVN C told her he rolled Resident #2 onto her right side. He told her he
thought the bed was locked but the brakes were not working. The DCO said his weight went against the
bed and the bed rolled. She said Resident #2 was holding onto the assist bar with her hands. She said the
resident had bruising to left side of her forehead. She said they were not sure what Resident #2's foot hit.
She said it could have hit the foot board or even the hooks from the air mattress pump. She said she would
have expected for LVN C to have made sure the bed was locked. She said a bed not being locked could
cause injuries such as this. She said she was not sure where the wrist injury came from. She said the
resident had not been complaining of wrist pain.
During an interview on 04/09/25 at 3:28 p.m., the EDO said it was reported to her that the nurse went in to
provide incontinent care for Resident #2 and when he went to roll her over the bed moved and the resident
hit the wall. She said he was the only person in the room providing care. She said after this incident
Resident #2 would require 2-person assistance. She said the resident did have osteoporosis. She said she
had bruising to her forehead, she had a broken bones in her foot, she had a broken bone in her wrist. She
said Resident #2 had abrasions to her hand and skin tears. She said they felt she was holding on to the
