Resident #1, who suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her nonverbal, slouched in her Geri-chair with her eyes closed during bingo.

One resident's records illustrate the breakdown.

But eight months after her admission, the facility still had not filed the necessary forms to secure those services.

The resident had suffered a stroke and was severely cognitively impaired, unable to shower, dress, or care for personal hygiene independently.

The device helps people retrieve objects without stretching or bending, reducing fall risks for those with mobility limitations.

The resident had been living at the facility since November 2022.

After the resident inhaled two puffs of her breathing medication, the assistant provided her with water.

His medical record showed he suffered from hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy alongside his other conditions.

Nine residents were within earshot when the worker made the violent threat on September 4th at Willowbend Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

The CNA, identified only as CNA A, was observed on September 5 providing incontinence care to a resident with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities.

The incident occurred when a nurse found the insects on Resident #2's wheelchair during evening rounds.

The error meant the resident received 50 milligrams daily rather than the intended 25 milligrams.
