On 10/19/2023, LPA Marrufo interviewed resident R1's Responsible Party, who stated to have observed R1 have a fall in the shower while being assisted by a staff. R1's Responsible Party stated the fall occurred sometime around 3-5 months ago.

R1's Responsible Party could not recall the name of the medication manager to whom R1's Responsible Party reported R1's fall.
