The aide was caring for Resident #30 when federal inspectors arrived at Complete Care at Brick in May.

The facility's own policy required watching for anorexia, confusion, lethargy, and severe constipation from opioid medications.

Resident 530 lay in bed awake when inspectors visited her room at 1:30 PM on January 6.

Video surveillance captured the entire attack, but the weapon has never been found despite facility-wide searches.

On December 3, 2024, nurses documented that R36 was confused with no verbal response to questioning.
