Summary
On one occasion, a staff member was observed pulling a resident backwards in their wheelchair in a hallway, resulting in the resident's feet dragging on the floor. This incident was confirmed by the Assistant Director of Nursing. On a separate occasion during lunch service, a staff member was seen standing while assisting a resident to eat, which was confirmed by Activities staff present at the time. These actions did not maintain the dignity and respect of the residents during transportation and meal services.
