S1 had placed R1 in a wheelchair to make the paramedic transfer easier. Shortly after, the paramedics arrived and took R1 to the hospital where they were admitted. S1 had visited R1 in the hospital on 08/02/2025 around 1:30 p.m. where R1 was asleep. S1 visited for about twenty (20) minutes to speak with the doctor however unsuccessful and left. On 08/06/2025 around 5:00 p.m. attempted to visit R1, however, was told my nursing staff they were unpermitted and left. S1 stated they were confused as to why they were unpermitted, however respected R1’s wishes. S1 describes R1 as being generally independent however requires assistance with bowel movements or with accidents. Additionally, S1 states they have never pushed any resident including R1. S1 has never witnessed any of the facility staff push a resident including R1. S2 noted that they have never had any concerns with the way S1 treated R1. S1 and R1 got along well with each other. S2 has never witnessed S1 push R1. S2 has never heard of any resident being pushed, including R1 by any facility staff.

Interview with POA R1 revealed that on 08/05/2025 R1 disclosed abuse including being pushed by S1 at the facility. Prior to 08/05/2025 POA R1 had no knowledge or suspicion of abuse from facility staff. Interviews with I1 and I2 revealed that R1 had raised concerns regarding S1, however, they never witnessed such acts. I1 and I2 reported that they noticed concerning behavior from S1 including verbal aggression and controlling actions when they were late. I1 revealed that R1 became withdrawn and quiet, which was unlike them. R1 had disclosed to I2 that S1 would poke them aggressively and was controlling, particularly at night. I2 noticed unexplained bruises on R1’s hands, which R1 attributed to falls, though they seemed uncertain. I1 and I2 never witnessed S1 push R1.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation of Staff pushed resident resulting in injury is deemed unsubstantiated at this time.

On the allegation Staff handles resident roughly, it is the concern of the reporting party (RP) that Staff #1(S1) was very rough when handling R1’s care at the facility. To investigate the allegation, the LPA conducted interviews, file reviews, and obtain copies of pertinent documents relevant to the investigation.
