Based on interview and record review the
facility failed to keep one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1) free from sexual abuse.
Resident 1 was identified by the facility as
being at risk for sexual victimization due to prior
history of sexual abuse, mental illness, posttraumatic stress (a psychological reaction
occurring after experiencing a highly stressing
event), and dementia (a decline in memory or
other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a
person's ability to perform everyday activities.
Resident 1 was sexually abused by a facility
housekeeper (HK) on 6/3/17 when HK was
found in Resident 1's room with his penis in the
resident's mouth. This failure resulted in
Resident 1 being sexually violated.
Findings:
According to the undated medical record
"Resident Information", Resident 1 was
admitted on 1/26/2012 with diagnoses of,
Dementia, Psychiatric Disorder (mental illness),
and Post-Traumatic Stress. Review of the
quarterly psychiatry report dated 3/20/17
indicated Resident 1 had a history of severe
childhood abuse, sexual exploitation, and rape.
The psychiatry report further indicated Resident
1's insight and judgement were poor and her
memory was grossly impaired.
Review of the Minimal Data Set (MDS), (A set
of screening, clinical assessment, and
functional status tools, providing a
comprehensive assessment for residents of
long term care facilities), Cognitive Patterns
section C, dated 5/25/17, indicated the brief
interview of mental status (BIMS) reflected a
score of 5 of 15 or severely impaired.
Review of Resident 1's care plan for, "At risk
for altercations with others," initiated 12/19/14

and revised 6/23/16 indicated Resident 1 was
at risk of being victimized by others given her
history of abuse, mental illness, post-traumatic
stress, and dementia. The care plan
interventions indicated Resident 1 was to
attend activities with increased supervision to
decrease the risk of victimization.
Review of Resident 1 care plan for, "At risk for
sexually inappropriate behavior," initiated
12/19/14 and revised 6/23/16 indicated a
history of initiating sexual relationships due to
poor judgment. The care plan interventions
were to redirect resident when she was
observed to be sexually provocative or
inappropriate with peers; encourage Resident 1
to say "No!" when receiving unwanted
attention from male peers.
In an interview with Certified Nursing Aide
(CNA) on 6/13/17, at 12 p.m., CNA stated on
6/3/17 at about 1 p.m. she walked into the
residents room and saw (HK) with his pants
pulled down to his mid thighs and Resident 1
was on her knees facing HK. CNA stated she
was shocked and said "what are you doing?",
HK replied, "you didn't see anything" and
quickly left the room. CNA stated she asked
Resident 1 if she was having sex with HK,
Resident 1 replied no she was "just sucking his
d***".
During an interview with the Medical Records
Technician (MRT) on 6/13/17, at 12:30 p.m.,
the MRT stated she was assigned manager of
the day 6/3/17. CNA came to MRT's office at
about 1 p.m. to report the incident she just
witnessed between Resident 1 and HK. The
MRT stated when she found HK in the break
room, the MRT requested his key and escorted
him from the building. The MRT stated
Resident 1 was then brought to MRT's office
and when questioned about what had
