He stated it appeared as though the employee was changing the residents' brief but at no time was Resident #4 observed to be naked or with private areas exposed to the viewer and the staff member did not make fun of the resident or disparage her in any way. Residents on the 300 hall (where Resident #4 resided) were interviewed by Social Service Designee (SSD) #325 with no additional concerns reported; Resident #4 was not able to provide coherent information when interviewed due to her advanced dementia.
