The incident, which occurred around 6:15 p.m., resulted in facial lacerations and a painful hematoma on the resident's back.

The March 12, 2025 inspection revealed widespread failures in food safety, infection control, and staff training that put the facility's 91 residents at risk.

This ensures that medical interventions can be ordered promptly, potentially preventing serious complications or death.

The incident prompted an immediate investigation and comprehensive review of transfer safety procedures throughout the facility.
