The discovery on January 9 exposed a pattern of neglect that extended far beyond one resident's room.

Resident 233, who has heart failure and diabetes, soiled herself at 9 AM on February 6 and pressed her call button for help.

Resident 35 was supposed to receive only pureed food after the May 13 choking episode.

Resident #123 was last seen by staff at 5:30 PM on July 29, 2023, sitting in the television room.

The facility's own policy requires staff to wear masks, gowns and gloves before entering rooms of residents on droplet precautions.
