The grievance indicated every time CNA-E waits on R8, CNA-E doesn't do what R8 asks and says R8 can do it by R8's self. R8 asks CNA-E to move the garbage can every night when R8 is in bed and indicated CNA-E should know that R8 wants the garbage can next to the bed at night.

When R8 asks CNA-E to take off R8's shirt or move the table closer to the bed, CNA-E says R8 can do it by R8's self. R8 indicated CNA-E has a long, sad look on CNA-E's face. R8 asked if CNA-E ever smiles.

When asked if CNA-E is trying to promote R8's independence, R8 didn't think so because R8 can still do things independently, including go to the bathroom during the night. R8 stated when R8 asks staff to do something it's because R8 needs help.On 9/29/25, Surveyor reviewed an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)-I, dated 8/26/25, that indicated R8 told LPN-I that CNA-E put R8 on the toilet and told R8 to take R8's brief off and put on a new one.
