Sometime in December (2011), (CNA #2) asked (CNA's #3 and #4), 'what would happen if we sprayed (Resident #1) with water?' All of them (CNA's #2, #3, and #4) thought (Resident's) reaction would be comical. (Resident #1) suffers from Dementia...(Resident #1) has a private room. (Resident #1's) room shares a bathroom with (Resident #2's) private room. The bathroom is between (Resident #1's) and (Resident #2's) rooms. Around 4:00 a.m., the CNA's (#2, #3, and #4) entered (Resident #2's) room and went to the bathroom. (CNA #2) filled the syringe with tap water. They (#2, #3, and #4) opened the door between the bathroom and (Resident #1's) room. While standing in the bathroom behind the threshold, (CNA #2) sprayed water on the light fixture and ceiling above (Resident #1). The water then dripped down onto (Resident #1's) shoulder. (Resident #1) woke up and pulled (Resident's) covers up over (Resident's) wet shoulder and went to sleep. The CNA's (#2, #3, and #4) laughed. Together, they (#2, #3, and #4) continued to visit (Resident #1's) room at approximately 4:00 in the morning to spray (Resident #1). By the third visit, they started spraying (Resident) directly. They targeted exposed areas...such as...head, face, and hands. They took turns squirting (Resident #1)...(Resident #1) woke up during these episodes and swore using all types of vulgarities. (Resident #1) would yell at (Resident's spouse's name) and tell spouse to "stop pissing" on (Resident). After using tap water...they decided to use cold water. They collected water from the bottom of ice coolers on the floor. At first they sprayed cold water above the bed and let it drip on (Resident). Later, they sprayed (Resident) directly. Again, they sprayed any exposed areas...usually...face and hands. All three of them took turns spraying (Resident) with the cold water. (Resident) woke up and swore and always blamed (Resident's spouse) during the rant. Next, they decided to use toilet water...(CNA's #2, #3, and #4) each filled the syringe with toilet water and sprayed it onto (Resident). They also squirted (Resident #2) at least twice. Because (Resident #2) did not react, they did not persist in spraying (Resident #2)...Several photographs were taken of (Resident #1). The first photograph was taken by (CNA #3). (Resident #1) was getting into bed with (Resident #2). (CNA #3) thought it was cute. (Resident #1's) buttocks were exposed and (CNA #3) took a picture with (CNA #3's) cell phone. (CNA #3) showed (CNA #2) the photograph. (CNA #2) asked (CNA #3) to forward the photograph to (CNA #2)...so (CNA #2) could send it to (CNA #2's sibling) who works at a local hospital...(CNA #3) forward the picture, and (CNA #2) sent it to (CNA #2's sibling)...Both (CNA #2 and #3) report the picture has been deleted from their phones. On another occasion, (CNA #2) showed a picture of a Resident's (no name) buttock's with a pad underneath covered with feces to (CNA #7). The CNA asked why (CNA #2) was taking pictures of a Resident. (CNA #2) replied...sent it to (CNA #2's sibling) to show (sibling) what they dealt with every night. This photograph was taken around Christmas. According to (CNA #2) all of the photos have been deleted from (CNA #2's) phone...One evening the CNA's made a video of (Resident #1) while (Resident) was in an agitated state. (Resident) sat up on the edge of (Resident's) bed...breasts were exposed and they showed the video to other CNA's on the floor. The CNA's report the video has been deleted."

They thought it was funny when (Resident #1 started yelling and cursing...this happened each time the shift worked except when (Resident #1) had PNA (Pneumonia)...said that (CNA #2) had even recorded an incident of this on (CNA #2's) cell phone...After (CNA #1) reported this to me I went upstairs to observe the CNA's...approximately 4:40 a.m...I looked down Resident #1's hallway and saw (CNA #2) and a CNA...I think CNA's name is (CNA #5)...coming out of (Resident #2's) room...they (CNA's #2, #5) had just made it to the end of the hall when I heard (Resident #1's) sentry alarm sound...(CNA's #4 and #8) walked into (Resident #1's) room and I followed them.

I then asked the CNA's (#4, #8) in the room why (Resident #1's) pillow and around it was wet. They replied, 'Oh (Resident #1) does that sometimes. Then I looked on the wall above (Resident #1's) head and the wall was covered with water. I asked the CNA's why (Resident #1's) wall was wet and has somebody been squirting water on (Resident #1). They didn't respond but just looked toward the floor and shrugged their shoulders. I then spoke with other staff member on my rotation and they also reported inappropriate behavior they had noticed from (CNA #2)...Addendum to statement given regarding (Resident #1) and morning of January 14, 2012...Our shift was scheduled to be off Saturday night January 14, 2012, and Sunday night January 15, 2012.
