could not risk the possibility that the abuse occurred. The DON stated they suspended LPN #1 as soon as

the administration was notified and later terminated LPN #1. The DON stated LPN #1 did not work in the facility after they were informed of the allegation. On 10/22/25 at 6:00 p.m., the administrator stated right

after the incident, they in-serviced all staff on abuse: what was abuse, what to do if you suspect abuse, what were the regulations regarding abuse, and what to do if you're too stressed with a resident to provide immediate care. The administrator stated they routinely in-serviced their staff on abuse but incidents like

this still happened. On 10/22/25 at 6:20 p.m., CNA #2 stated they were in the hall with another CNA when LPN #1 approached and said Resident #1 was on the ground in the inner courtyard and needed help getting up. CNA #2 stated they retrieved the lift and sling to raise the resident from the ground. CNA #2 stated when they entered the courtyard, they saw Resident #1 laying in a large puddle of liquid and thought

they may have urinated on themselves but quickly realized there was too much liquid and the resident was wet in places where urine would not have flowed. CNA #2 stated Resident #1 said LPN #1 had poured a pitcher of water over them. CNA #2 stated LPN #1 corrected the resident and said they poured water on the resident's feet to clean them of feces. CNA #2 stated the amount of liquid they saw and where Resident #1 was wet did not match with the statement LPN #1 said about washing the resident's feet. CNA #2 stated

they assisted the resident to the shower and helped them shower. CNA #2 stated the resident had scrapes

on their elbow, hip, and knee. CNA #2 stated Resident #1 was upset and told them that LPN #1 pushed them from the chair, poured a cup of water on their feet, left and returned to the courtyard with a pitcher of ice water, poured the ice water onto Resident #1, and then used profanity to tell them that was what they deserved for defecating on themselves. CNA #2 stated the allegation sounded like abuse, but they were not sure how to proceed since they were to report any allegation of abuse to their charge nurse which was LPN #1. They stated they asked other staff for help and was able to contact the facility administration and inform them of events. CNA #2 stated LPN #1 left the facility and everyone wrote statements as to what they saw and heard.
