Complaint·August 7, 2025

In an interview, Weininger said R1 first made these claims on the morning of April 22, 2025, and initially claimed that the incident had happened the night prior. LPA Moleski reviewed staff schedules and observed no male staff members were working in assisted living at any point on April 21 or 22. According to staff schedules and assignment sheets, S2, a male caregiver, was working during afternoon hours in assisted living on April 20, but was not assigned to provide any care for R1. There were only three male caregivers on staff at the time these allegations were made (S1-S3). In interviews, S1-S3 denied having any information regarding the allegations. LPA Moleski spoke with two staff members who worked with R1 on the morning of April 22 (S4 & S8). S4 said that R1 was bleeding, but it may have been rectal bleeding from R1’s hemorrhoids. S4 did not report finding any tampon inside of R1. S8 confirmed that they had assisted R1 to the bathroom and did not observe any tampon or other foreign objects in R1. In an interview, the nighttime caregiver assigned to R1 on April 20 and 21 (S9) said they recalled R1 was having some bleeding around that time, however, they did not observe any unusual occurrences at the time, and did not observe any male staff entering R1’s room. LPA Moleski reviewed charting notes related to R1’s care. A note dated April 21 indicated that R1 was suffering from rectal bleeding. A follow up note dated April 28 indicated that blood was observed in R1's urine. Another note dated April 29 indicated that R1 was prescribed an antibiotic for a suspected urinary tract infection. LPA Moleski reviewed R1’s medical assessment, dated 8/9/24. R1 was diagnosed with dementia, and was noted to suffer from confusion and disorientation. In interviews, multiple staff members (S1, S2, S4, S5, S8, & S9) said they had observed R1 hallucinating previously. These staff members said that R1 has observed people in their room who were not actually present, and sometimes asks for confirmation from others if they can see the hallucinations as well. S5 said that occasionally they will bring tampons for their own personal use, but said there are not any tampons regularly stored in the building. Other staff members who were interviewed said that tampons were not kept anywhere the facility.
