the incident folder, revealed that Resident R6 alleged that FT1 sent text messages to her asking for money. The investigation also included screenshots of Resident R6's text messages confirming that FT1 requested money.

During an interview on 12/18/2025 at 4:02 pm, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) 2 stated that he was not at the facility but was informed by LPN9 that Resident R28 was found in the day room, foaming at the mouth.

ADON2 said that he communicated with LPN9 during the incident. He said the resident was given oxygen, and his neuros were taken. ADON2 said that paramedics came quickly. He said they did a follow-up and found out Resident R28 had a cervical fracture. ADON2 said that he had talked to other residents, but no one could explain what had happened. He said that the facility did not know. ADON2 stated that the Administrator would follow up with any reported events to the SA.

During an interview on 12/18/2025 at 4:45 pm, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that the facility staff called and told her what happened with Resident R28. She stated that the facility reviewed the incident the next day.

She said that it was determined that Resident R28 had been in the day room when it happened. She confirmed he was a frequent faller. She said that it looked like Resident R28 might have had seizure activity, but there was no way to know if he had the fall or the seizure first before the injury.

The Administrator said that he would use the resident's record and then document what happened in the report.

He said he was not sure why he documented the date of the fall as 10/7/2025, and that it was witnessed. He stated that if he had known it was unwitnessed, he would have done an investigation as an injury of unknown origin.

on the night shift because she was so busy taking care of the residents, and in that case, the ADON would look at the faxes when she came in the next day.
