The Administrator said they had a meeting with resident #1's sister on 10/07/25 to discuss the incident with her but confirmed they did not tell the sister what would be done to ensure resident #2 did not get near resident #1 again.

The DON confirmed he did not instruct LPN A to conduct a skin assessment on either resident or complete an incident report. He said there was no order to do one-to-one supervision with resident #2 until 10/08/25 after the sister insisted something be done to ensure resident #2 did not repeat his actions as he still wandered the hallways freely at night.
