I called the police they come to my house and they watched the video and then another cop comes and then they watch the video and other cop comes so they seem to think it was serious what the guy was doing to my Resident #2. They have an open investigation against this guy and I learned that another family had the exact experience as well with their family member at the nursing home. I'm not sure of their names but there's another family that had their family member go to the hospital too. Last night I began looking at the tape from the last couple weeks at the nursing home of the nights that this guy CNA A worked, and there's more videos.he has done us to Resident #2 several times several different occasions several different nights. In another video that I found he wedges Resident #2 's whole arm in between the mattress and the rail of the bed and puts his knee on it so that Resident #2 can't get it out and proceeds to keep changing Resident #2 pamper. Resident #2 is fighting him and resisting at the same time, he also is antagonizing him verbally as he's doing all this ripping the sheets off at one point, he puts the sheets over Resident #2 's face. Resident #2 seems so scared and confused in the video. You can see Resident #2 's hand shaking he's so scared. I have turned in the rest of the videos into the police and hopefully they complete their investigation soon. I had emailed the local Ombudsman here in San [NAME] and he just called me this morning and told me to write this all out in an email and send it to y'all. This nursing home needs to be investigated. I wonder what type of screening they do before they hire people especially CNA 's. This is the second time that this is happened in three years that my Resident #2 has been there, and it is uncalled for and inappropriate on all levels. The videos might be too long for me to email to you as an attachment but I will send a few screenshots of some of the videos. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions Resident 32 is currently at the hospital staying there until I figure out what nursing home, I'm going to have to switch him to, this is very unfortunate that I have to move him because of what another person caused. He has dementia & is disabled and it's very hard for him to adjust when you move him. The guy ADM is a fill in ADM from when old ADM quit .he doesn't do a whole lot. There are multiple videos I submitted to the police for evidence this is just a few.

RN R stated that Resident #! had a broken back and broken ribs discovered from x-rays in addition to other injuries. RN R stated that Resident #1 was admitted due to the extent of injuries. RN R did not have much information about Resident #2 other than the (Facility} Nursing and Rehab had sent him to get checked out for internal injuries due to Resident #2 having a feed tube in his side. I was also provided information for Resident #3 that RN R believed to be related to the incidents with Resident #1 and Resident #2. I gathered RN R's information and the which medics transported Resident #1, Resident #2 and Resident #3. I then called Sgt. PO S with what I had gathered so far to get advise on how to proceed. I then went to Station 2 to speak with Medic 2 Crew. Medic 2 paramedics stated that staff mentioned incidents but did not go into detail. The Paramedics stated that they did not believe that Resident #3 was involved in the incidents. As she had been to the ER the prior night for a broken arm and was not discharged till later in the morning from what they had told as she had overdosed on her medication. I then went to Station 7 to speak with Medic 7 crew who transported both Resident #1 and Resident #2 nursing facility to the hospital. When I arrived and talked with the paramedics one stated that while he was trying to gather information on how the injuries had occurred for Resident #1 that staff did not want to say due to legal reasons telling him to label it as internal injuries. The paramedic then stated that for Resident #1 when they arrived the staff was not open to discussing how Resident #1 was injured as they would typically tell the paramedics if the residents had been combative or had fought another resident but that this was the case this time. After speaking with the crew of Medic 7 I called PO S again to inform him of what the paramedics had told me before heading to facility Nursing and Rehab at the address. After arriving, I spoke with staff who gave me the phone numbers for the DON Staff also stated that Resident #3 was not related to the incidents as she was in a separate hall. I then went out to my vehicle to call (DON) as she was not present the facility. DON stated that she was aware of two incidents that had occurred in the early hours of 07/24/2023 but did not have a lot of the details as she had been notified by the ADM. I gathered her information while she informed me that one of the family members had video of one incident that occurred. DON directed me to talk ADM as he had was going to investigate the incidents. I then went back inside the nursing facility and got the phone number for ADM before returning to my vehicle to call ADM. ADM stated that he had been notified by staff somewhere between 0200 to 0245 in which a CNA A was placed on suspension pending termination from employment. I gathered the information that ADM had on file for CNA A. I then asked ADM what their policy or procedure was for incidents like this and why did they not call the Police or other agency in regard to the incidents to this point. ADM stated that it was up to staff to contact authorities. I finished speaking with ADM when a priority called drop close by in which I cleared from the call to return to service . I then went inside were Officer PO U was talking to LVNB about threats that CNA A had made to her, Case 20230009126. i then went back outside and began to type my report watching in case CNA A decided to return to the facility as LVN B was afraid of retaliation from CNA A. Once Det. PO V arrived, I assisted him by telling him details that I had been told before he began to interview staff that was present in the facility at the time of the incidents. A staff member showed us Resident #1's and Resident #2's rooms which I took photos of starting from the hall working my way inside to where their beds are located. I then attempted to located Resident #1 dirty linens from that night but they had already been washed and did not have any visible stains remaining on his shirt or sheets. I then attempted to locate disposable wipes that LVN B had seen CNA A use to clean up blood from Resident #1 in the dumpster but was unsuccessful. I then waited near Det. PO V and Det.

Residents Affected - Some Review of Police report #20230009126 reflected, Officer [NAME], D65 was dispatched to hospital for an assault. Upon arriving, I located the charge nurse, (RN R), who had called dispatch. RN R stated that she had received three patients from facility Nursing and Rehab today. Two patients (Resident #1 and Resident #2) who had come in with minimal information as to cause of injuries being told to Paramedics to relay to the ER for further medical care . After speaking with the crew of Medic 7 I called Sgt. PO S again to inform him of what the paramedics had told me before heading to facility at facility address. After arriving, I spoke with staff who gave me the phone numbers for the DON. Staff also stated that RN R was not related to the incidents as she was in a separate hall. I then went out to my vehicle to call (DON) she was not present the facility. (DON) stated that she was aware of two incidents that had occurred in the early hours of 07/24/2023 but did not have a lot of the details as she had been notified by the ADM. I gathered her information while she informed me that one of the family members had video of one incident that occurred. DON directed me to talk ADM as he had was going to investigate the incidents. I then went back inside the nursing facility and got the phone number for ADM before returning to my vehicle to call ADM. (ADM) stated that he had been notified by staff somewhere between 0200 to 0245 in which a CNA, CNA A was placed on suspension pending termination from employment. I gathered the information that ADM had on file for CNA A. I then asked ADM what their policy or procedure for incidents like this was and why did they not call the Police or other agency in regards to the incidents to this point. ADM stated that it was up to staff to contact authorities. I finished speaking with ADM when a priority called drop close by in which I cleared from the call to return to service. During interview with LVNA on 07/25/23 at 10:54a.m, she said she received video recording from RP showing physical abuse of Resident #2 by CNA A. She immediately notified ADM. She explained ADM did not tell her to call police or notified them himself. She felt there was no urgency on ADM's part to investigate or notify police considering the seriousness of the abuse and what the video recording showed. LVNA noted ADM had the same altitude of indifference when she reported to him that CNA A threaten to rape LVNB and throw her in the river. He did not investigate or suspend or terminate CNA A employment. LVNA said CNA A continued to work which led to physical abuse of Resident #1 and Resident #2 about 1 week later. In an attempted interview with CNA A on 07/25/23 at 4:49p.m, he confirmed he was working on hall 100. CNA A said he took care of Residents #1 and #2 in the nursing. He was asked if he had a chance to talk to ADM, he said he had not. CNA A hanged up the phone. Several attempts to reconnect came with voice message that the phone was out of services.
