He said she was confused and sometimes combative since she had a stroke in June 2023.

The FM stated she told her she could not sit on Resident #1's bed. She said CR#2 was about to sit on Resident #1's leg so she walked towards the bed to stop her from sitting. She said CR#2 began using profanity towards her, so she yelled for a nurse. She said she did not know the CNA's name, but she came in after hearing CR#2 cursing and asked her to reframe from using profanity. She said the CNA pulled the curtain to give FM and Resident #1 privacy, but CR#2 tried to open the curtain and continued to use profanity.
