more residents that were asking for help then came back to (the roommate's) room to change her. As I was
finishing with her, (LVN B) came into the room and asked what was going on, being rude to me. So, I told
her what happened, and she said I was rude, so I just walked out of the room. I stopped to get my linen
barrel, and (Resident #1) was behind me talking about me and saying things under her breath and being

about it. She then started telling me that her roommate was in bed with a lift pad over her face. When we
got there the door was closed and she said, Well I guess she is in there fixing it now. I entered the room,
and (RCP A) was in there finishing her incontinent care. I asked her what was going on and she started
telling me that the resident had pulled the lift pad over her face and that her hand was kind of tangle up in it
but it was fixed now. As we walked out of the room, (RCP A) was behind me and I heard her say You need
to get out of my face and go back to your room. I informed (RCP A) that she can not talk to residents like
that. (RCP A) walked away and I spoke with (Resident #1) who was not in any distress afterwards and told
her that I would report the incident to the DCO, which I did but I never said anything about it being abuse. If

over her head and her arms were through the hole in the pad. She then told (RCP A) Why did you leave
(Resident #1's roommate) like that? She said (RCP A) smiled at her, and (Resident #1) went down to the

room and closed the door. She said she did not know what was said between them. She said when they
came out of the room RCP A looked at her and laughed at her. Resident #1 said she raised her voice and
told RCP A it was not funny. The resident said RCP A told her, That's why we can't get along because you
won't mind your own business and let me do my job. She said RCP A then told her, Shut up and go back to
your room. She said LVN B told her RCP A could not talk to her that way because it was verbal abuse. She
said later LVN B came to her and told her that she had reported the way RCP A talked to her. She said she
had not seen RCP A since the incident. When Resident #1 was asked about what RCP A had said to her,
Resident #1 said, absolutely it was abusive. Resident #1 said, I don't want her on this hall. During an
attempted interview on 07/15/25 at 9:50 a.m., a call was placed to RCP A. There was a recording, The
subscriber you have dialed is not in service.During an interview on 07/15/25 at 10:56 a.m., LVN B said on

heard RCP A say, you better get out of my face and get back in your room. She said she was approximately
four doors away. LVN B said she told RCP A she could not talk to Resident #1 like that. LVN B said RCP A
said, did you not hear what she said to me?. LVN B said she told RCP A, I don't care what she said to you,
this her home and you cannot talk to her like that. LVN B said she never told Resident #1 it was verbal
abuse. LVN B said she just told Resident #1 that RCP A could not talk to her like that and it had been
reported to the DCO. LVN B said what RCP A said was rude and she felt like it was abuse. LVN B said RCP
A's tone was hateful. She said she would not want RCP A to talk to her grandmother like that. She said if
RCP A had talked to her grandmother that way, she would have a mugshot. During an attempted interview
on 07/15/25 at 11:40 a.m., RCP A was called at a different number provided by the Business Office

reported to her as abuse. She said as the EDO you can only make a decision on the facts that have been
presented to you. She said RCP A was not suspended until Monday because of what was presented to her
on Saturday. She used what was presented to her on Saturday to make the judgement call. She said she
talked to Resident #1 almost every day. She said she had not said anything else to her about the incident.

it. After a few minutes, I went to see where she was, and she was still standing in the hall. I went to the
nurses' station and was telling (LVN B), but I was so upset I couldn't get my words out, so she pushed me
down to my room. When we got back to my room, (RCP A) was in there. (LVN B) went into the room, and I
stayed in the hallway. They both came out and started walking back towards the nurses station. (RCP A) got
about halfway up the hall and turned around and smiled at me. I said loudly (RCP A) its not funny. And she
said (Resident #1, that's why we don't get along. You need to shut up and let me do my job. (LVN B) came
to my room later and told me that she reported (RCP A) to the DCO because she can't talk to me that way
and that it was abuse. The statement was not signed. Record review of a typed statement indicated RCP A
was interviewed by the DCO and ADCO on 07/07/25. The statement indicated the date of the incident was
07/05/25. The statement indicated, .After lunch I had put (Resident #1's roommate) in bed from her
geri-chair and then walked out of the room to go get my resident out of the dining room and tend to their
needs. (Resident #1) came to me while I was pushing another resident to her room and asked me to move
(Resident #1's roommate's) chair and told me that (the roommate) had pulled her lift pad over her face and
that her hand was tangled up in straps, so I went in there and took care of that then went and changed a
couple more residents that were asking for help then came back to (the roommate's) room to change her.
As I was finishing with her, (LVN B) came into the room and asked what was going on, being rude to me.
So, I told her what happened, and she said I was rude, so I just walked out of the room. I stopped to get my
linen barrel, and (Resident #1) was behind me talking about me and saying things under her breath and
being confrontational, so

telling me that her roommate was in bed with a lift pad over her face. When we got there the door was
closed and she said, Well I guess she is in there fixing it now. I entered the room, and (RCP A) was in there
finishing her incontinent care. I asked her what was going on and she started telling me that the resident

walked out of the room, (RCP A) was behind me and I heard her say You need to get out of my face and go
back to your room. I informed (RCP A) that she can not talk to residents like that. (RCP A) walked away and
I spoke with (Resident #1) who was not in any distress afterwards and told her that I would report the

through the hole in the pad. She then told (RCP A) Why did you leave (Resident #1's roommate) like that?
She said (RCP A) smiled at her, and (Resident #1) went down to the nurses station to tell (LVN B). She
stated she was upset and couldn't get her words out, and (LVN B) pushed her down the room to see what
she was upset about. (RCP A) was in there and everything was then normal with the lift pad. (Resident #1)
said (RCP A) laughed at her, and (Resident #1) said something to her (unsure of what exact words were)
and (RCP A) then told her to Shut up and let me do my job. (Resident #1) said (LVN B) approached her
after this statement and told her that was abuse and she was going to report it. The statement was signed

customer service issues will lead to termination. The record indicated RCP A refused to sign. The record
was signed by the DCO and EDO.Record review of an undated Provider Response indicated, (Resident #1)
made an allegation that the CNA providing care to her roommate told her to shut up and let me do my job.
The CNA named in the allegation was asked to provide and statement and suspended pending the
outcome of the investigation. The CNA said she told (Resident #1) go in your room and leave me alone. The
investigation did not confirm the allegation of abuse. The investigation did confirm an incident of very poor
customer service. The employee received disciplinary action for this incident as her statement to the
resident was unprofessional and represented poor customer service. The employee will no longer be
assigned to provide care to that resident. During an interview on 07/14/25 at 3:03 p.m., Resident #1 said on
07/05/25 she had come back to her room after lunch. She said her roommate had her arm tangled into her
lift pad. She said she left out of her room to tell RCP A that her roommate needed help. She said RCP A
was just down the hall near the linen cart. Resident #1 said she told RCP A that her roommate needed help
and RCP A did not respond. She said she waited awhile, and RCP A never came. She said she peeped out
the door and RCP A was still by the linen cart. She said she headed to the nurse's station to get LVN B.
She said she had a hard time telling LVN B what was going on. She said LVN B came back to her room with
her. Resident #1 said when they got back to the room, RCP A was in the room and had her roommate back
like she was supposed to be. She said LVN B went in the room and closed the door. She said she did not
know what was said between them. She said when they came out of the room RCP A looked at her and
laughed at her. Resident #1 said she raised her voice and told RCP A it was not funny. The resident said
RCP A told her, That's why we can't get along because you won't mind your own business and let me do
my job. She said RCP A then told her, Shut up and go back to your room. She said LVN B told her RCP A
could not talk to her that way because it was verbal abuse. She said later LVN B came to her and told her
that she had reported the way RCP A talked to her. She said she had not seen RCP A since the incident.
When Resident #1 was asked about what RCP A had said to her, Resident #1 said, absolutely it was
abusive. Resident #1 said, I don't want her on this hall.During an attempted interview on 07/15/25 at 9:50
a.m., a call was placed to RCP A. There was a recording, The subscriber you have dialed is not in
service.During an interview on 07/15/25 at 10:56 a.m., LVN B said on 07/05/25 Resident #1 came to the
nurse's station. Resident #1 said her roommate was in the bed with the lift pad stuck over her head and her
hand was stuck in the pad. LVN B said she went to the room with Resident #1. LVN B said when she got
there the door was closed. She said RCP A was in the room. LVN B said RCP A had an attitude with her.
She said when she walked out, Resident #1 said something to RCP A. She said she could not hear what
Resident #1 said. LVN B said she was walking up the hall when she heard RCP A say, you better get out of
my face and get back in your room. She said she was approximately four doors away. LVN B said she told
RCP A she could not talk to Resident #1 like that. LVN B said RCP A said, did you not hear what she said
to me?. LVN B said she told RCP A, I don't care what she said to you this her home and you cannot talk to
her like that. LVN B said she never told Resident #1 it was verbal abuse. LVN B said she just told Resident
#1 that RCP A could not talk to her like that and it had been reported to the DCO. LVN B said what RCP A
said was rude and she felt like it was abuse. LVN B said RCP A's tone was hateful. She said she would not
want RCP A to talk to her grandmother like that. She said if RCP A had talked to her grandmother that way,
she would have a mugshot. She said the incident happened around 1:40 p.m. She said she reported it
immediately to the DCO. She said she called the DCO to talk to her about the incident. She said the DCO
told her she would call the EDO. She said she waited for the DCO to call her back, but she never did. She

reported to the state on the 07/07/25. She said there were several versions of what happened and all that
was told to her on the 07/05/25 was that RCP A told Resident #1, just let me do my job. She said she felt
this was a customer service issue. She said Resident #1 did not say she felt abused until 07/07/25. She
said RCP A did not return to work until 7/10/25. She said this was the only shift RCP A had worked since

rude but not an abuse allegation. The EDO said she was not in the building on the 07/05/25. She said she
did not interview the resident on 07/05/25. She said the DCO was in the building. She said things changed
on the morning of 07/07/25 when Resident #1 reported the incident to the Business Office Manager. She
said that was when it was reported to the state because of what was reported to the Business Office
Manager was an allegation of abuse, because she said something different to her than what LVN B said on
Saturday, 07/05/25.During an interview on 07/15/25 at 3:18 p.m., LVN C said Resident #1 came to the
nurse's station on 07/05/25. She said LVN B went down to the room to check on the roommate. She said

assistance and RCP A just brushed her off and continued doing her work. She said Resident #1 told her
she went to LVN B. She said Resident #1 told her that LVN B went down to the room and RCP A was in the
room. She said Resident #1 told her she said, (RCP A) you know what you did. She said Resident #1 told

#1 told her to the EDO. She said she felt like what Resident #1 told her was verbal abuse. She said
Resident #1 said she did not want RCP A to be her aide anymore. She said since 07/07/25 Resident #1
had gone about her normal activities and had not been upset. She said she had not seen RCP A again
since the incident. She said RCP A was very stand offish, not friendly, and can be rude. She said she had
never seen her be rude to residents.During an interview on 07/16/25 at 12:06 p.m., the ADCO said she did
not witness the incident between RCP A and Resident #1. She said it happened before she came into work
on 07/05/25. She said she saw Resident #1 on 07/07/25. She said Resident #1 told her RCP A had said to
her, That's why we can't get along because you won't mind your own business and let me do my job. She
said RCP A then told her, To shut up and go back to her room. The ADCO said she was also on the phone
with the DCO when RCP A gave her statement over the phone. The ADCO said RCP A said she was in the
next room changing a resident and Resident #1 had come to tell her what happened. She said RCP A
admitted to telling Resident #1 to go back to her room. She said if RCP A said Get out of my face and go
back to your room in a hateful or harsh tone it was verbal abuse. She said she started in-services on
Customer Service and Verbal Abuse on 07/07/25. The ADCO said RCP A could be difficult with other
staff.During an interview on 07/16/25 at 2:09 p.m., the DCO said when LVN B called her on 7/5/25 she tried
to clarify exactly what words RCP A used toward Resident #1 and it was told to her that RCP A said, leave
me alone and let me do my job. She said at the time she did not feel it was abuse. She said that was
different than telling the resident to shut up and go to their room. She said she did not interview the resident
on 07/05/25. She said she was going to deal with it as a customer service issue until the morning of
07/07/25 when the story had changed and sounded more like abuse. She said that was when Resident #1
made the statement that RCP A had told her to shut up and go back to her room. She said RCP A was
suspended on 07/07/25. She said since the incident Resident #1 has been absolutely fine. She said there
had been no adverse psychological effects. She said she preferred not to speculate on a negative outcome
for the resident. She said RCP A has been reassigned and would not be providing care to Resident #1.
During an interview on 07/16/2025 at 2:55 p.m., the EDO said on 07/05/25 she was notified about the
incident between RCP A and Resident #1. She said she felt one thing was told to herself and the DCO on
07/05/25 and then something different was reported on Monday, 07/07/25. She said then she felt like what
was said on 07/07/25 was reportable. She said if the nurses were saying it was abuse now, they should
have been saying in was abuse at the time and it would have been handled differently. She said the
situation was not reported to her as abuse. She said as the EDO you can only make a decision on the facts
that have been presented to you. She said RCP A was not suspended until Monday because of what was
presented to her on Saturday. She used what was presented to her on Saturday to make the judgement
call. She said she talked to Resident #1 almost every day. She said she had not said anything else to her
about the incident. She said she has not been upset or distraught. She said DCO was in the building on
7/5/25 during the time the two charge nurses were on duty and nothing additional was shared with her. She
said Resident #1 had a history of making her concerns and needs known to the DCO and she did not say
anything to her on 07/05/25. She said RCP A has been reassigned and would not provide care to the
Resident #1.Record review of a facility Abuse Policy last revised on 01/27/20 indicated, .The purpose of this
