R1 began grunting, seemingly startled by the person who entered, prompting them to turn around and exit. R1 stated that after this no one returned to their room. R1 was not inappropriately touched or assaulted. Interview with ED revealed that R1 had made the facility aware they believed someone entered their room however was unable to specify who and when. In response, the ED reviewed the security footage but found no evidence of anyone entering R1s room during the approx. day and time. R1 did not disclose any sexual abuse to the ED. Interviews with staff revealed that facility staff do not enter resident rooms without knocking adhering to the facilities privacy policy. The staff have never heard or witnessed inappropriate behavior from colleagues, including any incidents of sexual misconduct. Resident interviews revealed that they have never experienced staff coming into their room without permission and have no concerns with the staff. The resident has never experienced inappropriate or sexual contact from staff and has never heard of such incidents occurring between staff and residents. Furthermore, the residents feel safe at the facility and their needs are being met. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is insufficient evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur. Therefore, the allegation of Staff member sexually abused resident in care is deemed unsubstantiated at this time. No deficiencies were observed or cited. Exit interview conducted. Report was reviewed and a copy was provided.
