on 07/13/2025, secondly around 2:30 AM and thirdly around 4:30 AM both on 07/14/2025. CNA A stated
during her first round, she provided care to Resident #1, Resident #1 did not seem like herself, as she was

second round, she provided incontinent care to Resident #1, and during the care Resident #1 was
exhibiting signs and symptoms of pain and was moaning throughout incontinent care yet continued to
gently complete the incontinent care. CNA A stated during the second round Resident #1 verbalized pain in
her right hip. CNA A stated she did not report the pain to charge nurse because as soon as she completed

consisted of Resident #1's complaint of pain of the hip area, and on the third round, the pain was of
Resident #1's leg. CNA A stated she did not desist with attempting to provide care, as her reasoning was,
she could not leave Resident #1 in bowel movement and urine. CNA A stated she was educated to notify
the charge nurse when she notices anything irregular. CNA A stated had she had more information about
Resident #1's fall, her actions would have been to notify the charge nurse during her second round. CNA A

was turned during incontinent care, and did not believe anything was irregular during her first round. CNA A
stated she notified RN A on her third round when Resident #1 was exhibiting pain, but did not notify RN A
during her second round because Resident #1, after completion of incontinent care, no longer exhibited
signs of pain. CNA A stated during her third round, Resident #1 was attempting to assist with movement, as
CNA A asked for Resident #1 to lift her buttock but was exhibiting severe pain, therefore could not assist
CNA A with incontinent care. CNA A stated she did not desist with providing care on the third round
because she needed to get the job done. CNA A stated after she completed Resident #1's incontinent care,
she exited the room and went to notify RN A around 4-5AM timeframe. CNA A stated she notified RN A of
Resident #1's exhibition of pain, to which she verbalized to RN A she believed something may have been

negative outcome. RN A stated as a preventative measure she did not want to cause a potential
dislodgement of Resident #1's lower extremity, and immediately called 9-1-1. RN A stated she was never
notified of CNA A's second round findings regarding Resident #1. RN A stated the scheduled facility x-rays
were not completed at the facility due to Resident #1 being transferred to the ER. During an interview at
07/20/2025 at 3:50 PM, the DON stated she was notified on 07/14/2025 by RN A that roughly around the
