Phillips, WI – The state of Wisconsin has released a report on the Pleasant View Nursing Home that alleges at least two incidents of resident abuse and subsequent attempts to cover it up.
The report, completed last month by a division of the state Department of Health and Family Services, tracks the alleged actions of an unidentified Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and other staff from June to November 2004.
The CNA is accused of intentionally shoving a resident, who fell to the floor, in June 2004, and hitting another resident, who subsequently hit his head on a bed footboard, in November 2004. The same CNA was allegedly known as a bully among staff and residents, according to the state report.
