the admission contract regarding video camera to V7 while Resident R1 was present.

According to V11, she told V7 that she was not familiar with the facility's policy regarding camera in
the room, but she will find out. V11 stated that she called V2 and asked if the facility allows camera in resident room. V11 stated that according to V2, camera is not allowed in the room, so she went back to V7 and informed that according to V2, camera in the room is not allowed. After providing the said information, V7 insisted that she wanted to put a camera in the resident's room and that it is the resident's right, so she called back V2 about V7's insistence. Prior to her (V11) calling back V2, V14 (admission Assistant) was at
the unit and according to V14 she will go inside Resident R1's room to discuss and have Resident R1 sign the admission contract. V11 denied seeing the facility admission contract, specifically regarding the use of camera in the resident room. V11 stated that while V14 was inside Resident R1's room, she called back V2 and informed that V7 was insisting that she wanted to put a camera in the room, V2 again told her that per facility policy, camera is not allowed in the room, which according to V2 had been verified with the Regional Nurse consultant.
According to V11, she went back to Resident R1's room after V14 had left the room on August 31, 2025 and she (V11) informed V7 that she again talked to V2 and was again informed that camera in the resident room is not allowed. V11 added that after the said conversation with V7, V7 stated that family will file a complaint about the facility not allowing resident to have camera in the room.On September 6, 2025 at 4:25 PM, V2 stated that she was not aware that V11 had informed the family that camera is not allowed in the room,
after V14 had discussed and shown the family the facility's admission contract. V2 again stated that when
she reviewed the facility's admission contract, she was focused on the statement that video camera is prohibited in resident room, not realizing that there was a following statement that read, unless the resident and/or resident representative has followed the steps. According to V2, based on Resident R1's signed admission contract, the resident has the right to have a camera in the room as long as steps are followed including signing of the consent, since Resident R1 at the time had no roommate.
