The assistant director of nursing, identified in the inspection report as ADON B, had worked at the facility for seven years.

By the time a federal inspector arrived at Alden Des Plaines Rehabilitation and Health Care Center on September 16, the abrasion had progressed to cellulitis.

Inspectors from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services documented the scene on the morning of September 8.

Copperfield is disputing the finding.

A resident at Transcendent Healthcare of Boonville North was known to be at risk of wandering out of the building.

The resident he struck, identified as R4, was sitting at a table with a certified nursing assistant when R3 approached.

She had been waiting for help for over an hour.

The resident, identified in inspection documents only as R1, was scheduled for showers every Sunday and Wednesday.

Each log showed temperatures recorded on the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 11th, initialed by someone identified only as E.O.

Nobody from the facility called.

The finding sits at the center of a complaint inspection completed September 18.

The facility's administrator confirmed that morning that staff had verbally abused her.
