The findings included: The facility admitted Resident #365 on 3/23/19 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED].

The statement allegedly written by the CNA/alleged perpetrator was unsigned and further identified another CNA was present during the time of the alleged incident. The other CNA named in the statement did not provide a written statement. The statement written by the CNA indicated he/she provided care to the resident on 3/23/19 which was earlier than the date provided on the facility's investigation reports.
