The nursing assistant began feeling unwell on Saturday, August 16, experiencing body aches, throat pain, and congestion.

The resident was discharged 13 days later.

The facility's interdisciplinary team met on January 9, 2025, to discuss Resident #1's care needs.

Federal inspectors found the facility failed to provide appropriate care and services according to the resident's plan of care.
