heard Resident #1 hollering and cussing in the hallway. Resident #1 was upset that CNA A had to help her
in the shower. This nurse tried to talk to Resident #1 and let her know that for her safety in the shower she
needed assistance due to new weakness. Resident #1 remains crying and yelling that she was told she
could shower alone. This nurse let her know that she always needs to be accompanied by staff in case
something happens. Resident becomes more agitated stating she has been lied to that she was told before

standards, conduct or neglect of duties determined by management to be detrimental to the welfare of
patients, resident, co-workers, the workplace of employer, and must follow all resident care guidelines
including but not limited to on-time meals, care and medication and accurate detailed charting. Resident #1
forged a complaint against CNA A regarding her feeling like she was treated with disrespect. CNA A was
assisting in resident shower and resident had a history of being independent in showers and she did not
feel she needed assistance. The resident was found to have low blood sugar and a UTI, and was not at her
baseline, so CNA A expressed that it was his obligation to assist due to her instability. Once the shower was
complete, Resident #1 expressed her discontent that she was unable to shower by herself. The next day
she lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman regarding CNA A and stated she felt abused. The
investigation resulted in showing that abuse was found. Document was signed by Administrator.

her brief and asked CNA A to help her to the bathroom. CNA A told her get up you're going straight to the
shower; I am not going to change you. Resident #1 told him she did not want to be in the shower by herself
with a male, and CNA A told her you don't have a choice. Resident #1 stated CNA A kept telling her you're
acting crazy, you are not making logical sense. Your blood sugar is low that is why you can't think. Resident
#1 then told complainant CNA A forced her into the chair and took her to the shower. Resident #1 stood up
and CNA A pushed her up against the shower wall and removed her blouse. Resident #1 told him No, stop,
but CNA A continued to remove her blouse. CNA A then shoved Resident #1 down into the shower chair
forcefully. Complainant stated Resident #1 told her she felt very afraid and intimidated by CNA A because
he was so mean and angry with her. Complainant stated Resident #1 asked for her shampoo and CNA A
told her no, you're going to use the shampoo I tell you to use. Resident #1 managed to get her own
shampoo and get some in her hair. Complainant stated Resident #1 was very upset, and said she felt
embarrassed, and felt that she was assaulted, and did not know what to do about it. Resident #1 told
complainant that she refused to go the hospital because she was concerned, they would throw her out of
the facility. Resident #1 stated that she liked being there but if they did not do something about that man,
she would leave and go to another facility.

herself. Resident #1 stated she was a bit confused at the time because CNA A woke her up out of a dead
sleep. Resident #1 stated CNA A asked her did you pee at church?, you're not yourself. Resident #1 stated
CNA A kept getting louder and louder saying I wasn't myself over and over. Resident #1 stated she told
CNA A to leave her alone. Resident #1 stated that before she moved into the facility it was a top priority for
her to be able to shower herself. Resident #1 stated she called the facility prior to moving in and was told

clothes off, and I'm trying to stop him. Resident #1 stated CNA A told her, you are not yourself. Resident #1
stated I told him I'm not getting undressed in front of you, and CNA A continued to take her clothes off.
Resident #1 stated he kept trying to get her to sit in a shower chair with a hole in the middle and kept
pushing her into the chair. Resident #1 stated she asked CNA A to go behind the privacy curtain and CNA
stated, No. This is my job, you want to wash your rosebud by yourself? Resident #1 stated that rosebud
referred to her vagina. Resident #1 stated that CNA A kept forcing her to sit in the chair. CNA A put
shampoo on her head and would not let her use her own shampoo. Resident #1 stated she unwrapped her
Unna boots, (compression dressings made by wrapping layers of gauze around the leg and foot. It is often
used to protect an ulcer or open wound. The compression of the dressing helps improve blood flow in your
lower leg. Compression also helps decrease swelling and pain), and she begged CNA A to go behind the
privacy screen again. Resident #1 stated, I felt like dirt. Resident #1 stated she had always showered by
herself prior to this incident. Resident #1 stated she told CNA A you are hurting me. I'm humiliated please
go behind the privacy screen. Resident #1 stated she kept repeating it and begged him to go behind the
privacy screen, and CNA A did not go behind the screen. Resident #1 stated she did not feel comfortable in
the shower chair and that it was slippery. Resident #1 stated CNA A stated, sit there, and stop acting like
this. Resident #1 stated with all the commotion, no one came in to check on her. Resident #1 stated she
had some bruises on her arms, but she got them while in the hospital, and said she had not seen any other
bruises. Resident #1 stated that she was a bit disoriented when she woke up, but CNA A had startled her. I
was confused when he kept asking if I peed myself at church. I don't know what he was talking about.
Resident #1 said when CNA A brought her back to her room, he picked out some clothes for her to wear,
and she told him she did not want to wear what he picked out, and he did not listen to her. Resident #1
stated, what really pissed me off was when we got back to my room, he took my wet towel and started
mopping up the floor, like I had peed all over the place. It was a small spot. Resident #1 stated after she got
dressed, the ADON came in her room, and said she wanted to talk to her while she was upset. Resident #1
stated the ADON was baby talking to her asking why are you mad, and why are your unna boots off? Are
you upset because we care? Resident #1 stated the ADON told her we never told you that you could
shower alone, and that there was not one resident in the facility that showers by themselves. Resident #1
stated she did not know why the ADON said that because she knew a lot of Residents that showered by
themselves, and that she had showered by herself 3 times a week before this incident. Resident #1 stated
that she asked the ADON to leave at that time, and the ADON replied, I still want to get to the bottom of
why you are mad and why your unna boots are off. Resident #1 stated she told the ADON again she
wanted her to leave, and the ADON stated she did not want to leave. Resident #1 stated she got up and
went to the therapy department. Resident #1 stated she would take her unna boots off when she showered,
a nurse would remove them, or she was capable of removing them herself. Resident #1 stated that one day,

During an interview on 6/10/24 at 9:45 a.m. the DON stated she was working as a floor nurse on the day of
Resident #1's incident on 5/29/24. DON stated she had talked with Resident #1 after the incident and said
Resident #1 apologized for being so upset. Resident #1 stated she did not want CNA A in the shower with
her. CNA A was out doing a transport at that time but was suspended as soon as he returned to the facility.
DON stated she had not had any staff or resident come to her with any concerns with CNA A. DON stated
she was not aware of any write-ups on CNA A since she had started working in the facility in April of this
year.
During an interview on 6/10/24 at 9:56 a.m. the ADON stated that on 5/29/24, she had gone to talk with
Resident #1 after the incident. ADON stated Resident #1 was crying and would not talk with her. ADON
stated she had looked at Resident #1's ribs, and there were no bruises. ADON stated the DON told her that
she had sent CNA A to take Resident #1 to the shower after an incontinent episode. ADON stated Resident
#1 was weak and needed assistance. ADON was asked if there were any specific documents she could
provide regarding what was covered in the abuse trainings that were done or any documents that talked
about what was discussed. ADON stated the abuse/neglect in-service was generic and covered the abuse
policy.
During a follow up interview on 6/10/24 at 10:16 a.m. Resident #1, stated that on the date of the incident
with CNA A, she did not request that a female showered her, she just told CNA A you are not going into the
shower with me. You are a kid and a male. Resident #1 stated she thought that was enough. Resident #1
stated CNA A stated, you're not yourself, you don't know what you are saying. Resident #1 stated she was
so upset she did not remember if CNA A had helped wash her, but he must have washed some parts
because he asked if I wanted to wash my own rosebud. Resident #1 stated she felt CNA A forced her to
have that shower. Resident #1 stated she felt at peace now that CNA A was gone, and won't be doing this
to anyone else, but I am not at peace after what happened and why it happened. Resident #1 stated, he
made me feel so disgraced, and the more I think about it the madder I get. Resident #1 stated she did not
feel bad that CNA A got fired. Resident #1 stated, at the time of the incident I kept thinking why isn't there a
female in here. I was so busy thinking what is happening and why, I was not able to take the next step of
getting him out of the shower. Everything happened so fast, and I was worried about getting covered up and
getting him out. I told CNA A to stop and get out, over and over. Resident #1 stated she had chronic back
pain and CNA A kept twisting and pulling under her arms and she thought he had broken her ribs which he
didn't. Resident #1 stated CNA A lifted her from her rollator walker. (rollators have wheels on all legs,
making them easier to push without lifting)to a shower chair, and she had always stood to take her
showers. Resident #1 stated today was the first day I could take a shower. I was afraid to go into the shower
since the incident. Resident #1 stated that she was a logical person, and knew it would not happen again,
but it's kind of like PTSD. Resident #1 stated that she hated that she was still thinking about this incident
and did not want to keep bringing it up. Resident #1 stated she felt that she can eventually put it out of her
mind, and that it will just take a while. Resident #1 stated she was able to shower on this date by herself,
and that two employees checked on her. Resident #1 stated it felt good to get a shower. Resident #1 stated,
I know logically, CNA A is not here, but I still have thoughts of my shorts, underwear, shirt and sports bra all
being removed by CNA A. Resident #1 stated she felt absolutely comfortable talking with the Administrator
and DON if she felt she needed any counseling. Resident #1 stated, despite this incident, I am very happy

Record review of an undated form titled Associate Separation Report indicated CNA A's date of hire was
2/23/23 and date of separation was 5/31/24. Reasons for separation included violating federal or state care
standards, conduct or neglect of duties determined by management to be detrimental to the welfare of
patients, resident, co-workers, the workplace of employer, and must follow all resident care guidelines
including but not limited to on-time meals, care and medication and accurate detailed charting. Resident #1
forged a complaint against CNA A regarding her feeling like she was treated with disrespect. CNA A was
assisting in resident shower and resident had a history of being independent in showers and she did not
feel she needed assistance. The resident was found to have low blood sugar and a UTI, and was not at her
baseline, so CNA A expressed that it was his obligation to assist due to her instability. Once the shower was
complete, Resident #1 expressed her discontent that she was unable to shower by herself. The next day
she lodged a complaint with the Ombudsman regarding CNA A and stated she felt abused. The
investigation resulted in showing that abuse was found. Document was signed by Administrator.
Record review of an undated online training report indicated CNA A received training on preventing,
recognizing, and reporting abuse on 2/26/23 when hired.
During an interview with the complainant on 6/3/24 at 4:52 p.m. she stated she had received a call on
5/30/24 sometime between midnight and 3:00 a.m. from LVN L, night shift nurse who told her that Resident
#1 was upset over the way she was manhandled by CNA A during her shower on 5/29/24. Complainant

on 5/31/24 to talk with Resident #1. Complainant stated Resident #1 told her she thought she had soiled
her brief and asked CNA A to help her to the bathroom. CNA A told her get up you're going straight to the
shower; I am not going to change you. Resident #1 told him she did not want to be in the shower by herself
with a male, and CNA A told her you don't have a choice. Resident #1 stated CNA A kept telling her you're
acting crazy, you are not making logical sense. Your blood sugar is low that is why you can't think. Resident
#1 then told complainant CNA A forced her into the chair and took her to the shower. Resident #1 stood up
and CNA A pushed her up against the shower wall and removed her blouse. Resident #1 told him No, stop,
but CNA A continued to remove her blouse. CNA A then shoved Resident #1 down into the shower chair
forcefully. Complainant stated Resident #1 told her she felt very afraid and intimidated by CNA A because
he was so mean and angry with her. Complainant stated Resident #1 asked for her shampoo and CNA A
told her no, you're going to use the shampoo I tell you to use. Resident #1 managed to get her own
shampoo and get some in her hair. Complainant stated Resident #1 was very upset, and said she felt
embarrassed, and felt that she was assaulted, and did not know what to do about it. Resident #1 told
complainant that she refused to go the hospital because she was concerned, they would throw her out of
the facility. Resident #1 stated that she liked being there but if they did not do something about that man,
she would leave and go to another facility.
During an interview on 6/4/24 at 11:50 a.m. Resident #1 stated she had lived in the facility since that last
week of April 2024. Resident #1 stated she loved CNA A taking care of her, up until the date of the incident.

and yelling her name. Resident #1 stated that it startled her and she wet herself. Resident #1 stated she
was a bit confused at the time because CNA A woke her up out of a dead sleep. Resident #1 stated CNA A
asked her did you pee at church?, you're not yourself. Resident #1 stated CNA A kept getting louder and
louder saying I wasn't myself over and over. Resident #1 stated she told CNA A to leave her alone.

the facility prior to moving in and was told she could shower herself, and it was explained to her the shower
room was a separate room in the facility. Resident #1 did not remember who she had talked with. Resident
#1 stated she was very modest. Resident #1 stated that CNA A said, come on we're going to the shower,
and that CNA A kept twisting me to get my clothes off, and I'm trying to stop him. Resident #1 stated CNA A
told her, you are not yourself. Resident #1 stated I told him I'm not getting undressed in front of you, and
CNA A continued to take her clothes off. Resident #1 stated he kept trying to get her to sit in a shower chair
with a hole in the middle and kept pushing her into the chair. Resident #1 stated she asked CNA A to go
behind the privacy curtain and CNA stated, No. This is my job, you want to wash your rosebud by yourself?
Resident #1 stated that rosebud referred to her vagina. Resident #1 stated that CNA A kept forcing her to
sit in the chair. CNA A put shampoo on her head and would not let her use her own shampoo. Resident #1
stated she unwrapped her Unna boots, (compression dressings made by wrapping layers of gauze around
the leg and foot. It is often used to protect an ulcer or open wound. The compression of the dressing helps
improve blood flow in your lower leg. Compression also helps decrease swelling and pain), and she begged
CNA A to go behind the privacy screen again. Resident #1 stated, I felt like dirt. Resident #1 stated she had
always showered by herself prior to this incident. Resident #1 stated she told CNA A you are hurting me.
I'm humiliated please go behind the privacy screen. Resident #1 stated she kept repeating it and begged
him to go behind the privacy screen, and CNA A did not go behind the screen. Resident #1 stated she did
not feel comfortable in the shower chair and that it was slippery. Resident #1 stated CNA A stated, sit there,
and stop acting like this. Resident #1 stated with all the commotion, no one came in to check on her.
Resident #1 stated she had some bruises on her arms, but she got them while in the hospital, and said she
had not seen any other bruises. Resident #1 stated that she was a bit disoriented when she woke up, but
CNA A had startled her. I was confused when he kept asking if I peed myself at church. I don't know what
he was talking about. Resident #1 said when CNA A brought her back to her room, he picked out some
clothes for her to wear, and she told him she did not want to wear what he picked out, and he did not listen
to her. Resident #1 stated, what really pissed me off was when we got back to my room, he took my wet
towel and started mopping up the floor, like I had peed all over the place. It was a small spot. Resident #1
stated after she got dressed, the ADON came in her room, and said she wanted to talk to her while she
was upset. Resident #1 stated the ADON was baby talking to her asking why are you mad, and why are
your unna boots off? Are you upset because we care? Resident #1 stated the ADON told her we never told
you that you could shower alone, and that there was not one resident in the facility that showers by
themselves. Resident #1 stated she did not know why the ADON said that because she knew a lot of
Residents that showered by themselves, and that she had showered by herself 3 times a week before this
incident. Resident #1 stated that she asked the ADON to leave at that time, and the ADON replied, I still
want to get to the bottom of why you are mad and why your unna boots are off. Resident #1 stated she told
the ADON again she wanted her to leave, and the ADON stated she did not want to leave. Resident #1
stated she got up and went to the therapy department. Resident #1 stated she would take her unna boots
off when she showered, a nurse would remove them, or she was capable of removing them herself.
Resident #1 stated that one day, (did not know for sure what day it was), the Administrator came in and told
her we need to talk. Resident #1 stated they went into her room and the Administrator said, CNA A is over
enthusiastic and means well. Resident #1 stated the Administrator promised no one would go in the shower
while she was in there. Resident #1 stated the Administrator apologized for the incident, and Resident #1
told her to keep CNA A away from me, I'm humiliated. Resident stated the next day at breakfast time, CNA
