the housekeeping staff kicked, she said, I don't recall specifically where, but I remembered that he was kicking the resident and yelling. I told him he cannot do that, I told him We are not allowed to yell or kick the residents. I told the housekeeping staff to stop, and he did. I immediately informed my supervisor and the Administrator.
She further stated, the housekeeping staff was not seen in the building after the incident occurred that day. On 09/18/2025 at 12:24 P.M., during and interview with the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) in the presence of the Acting Director of Nursing (ADON), the LNHA said the activity aid observed the housekeeping staff kicking and using his foot to slide Resident #4 into their room as the resident was sitting in the hallway.
The LNHA stated the activity aid immediately stopped the housekeeping staff and reported the incident to her supervisor and they informed me of the incident.
She said, the housekeeping staff had left for the day, he was immediately notified via a phone call about the abuse allegation.
The LNHA further stated, yes it was substantiated that abuse occurred after our investigation.
