The following reflects the findings of the
California Department of Public Health during
an abbreviated survey for the investigation of
complaint: CA00615215.
Representing the Department of Public Health :
Health Facilities Evaluator Nurse, 38416
The inspection was limited to the specific
complaint investigated and does not represent
the findings of a full inspection of the facility.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was
called on 12/11/18 at 4: 27 p.m., with the
facility Administrator (Admin 1), Assistant
Administrator (Admin 2), and the Director of
Nursing present during the notification. The
facility had knowledge of the inappropriate
sexual behavior of Resident 2 and failed to
provide Resident 1 with adequate safety and
put in place preventative measures to protect
her from being sexually assaulted a second
time by Resident 2. The IJ was abated on
12/11/18 at 6:54 p.m. after receiving a plan of
correction indicating Resident 2 would be
placed on one to one supervision to protect
Resident 1 and other females in the facility
from Resident 2's sexually assaultive behavior.

This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview and record
review, the facility failed to prevent one of three
sampled residents from being sexually
assaulted by a male peer (Resident 2).
This failure resulted in Resident 1 being
sexually assaulted twice by Resident 2 and left
her at risk for continued assault.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was
called on 12/11/18 at 4: 27 p.m., with the

admitted to the facility on 7/19/17 with multiple
diagnoses including Non-Alzheimer's Dementia
(memory loss). Resident 1 was dependent on
staff for all of her daily care needs, was nonverbal, and required one person to assist her
with mobility on the unit.
Review of the MDS dated 9/13/18 showed
Resident 2 was admitted to the facility on
1/20/16 with multiple diagnoses which included
Insomnia (inability to sleep at night). Resident
2 was independent with his daily care needs
and his ability to move around the unit.
Observation of Resident 1's room on 12/11/18
at 2:25 p.m., showed Resident 1's room was
not visible from the Nursing Station and was
located toward the back of the building.
Review of Resident 2's "Care Plan" revised
11/19/18, showed Resident 2 had displayed
sexually aberrant (abnormal) behavior by
attempting to grab other residents' and staffs'
genitalia. The care plan also showed on
11/18/18, that Resident 2 laid on top of
Resident 1 and as a result, Resident 2 would
be placed on "indefinite close monitoring due to
his wandering into other rooms".
Review of Resident 1's Care Plan dated
11/18/18 showed Resident 1 was, "found with
male peer (Resident 2) on top of her with his
pants and underwear down; Resident 1's brief
was open, but no sexual contact yet, staff
separated them right away." This care plan
showed that some interventions were to inform
the physician and responsible party for unusual
changes and monitor Resident 1 for emotional
distress and safety every 15 minutes.
Review of Resident 1's "Care Plan" dated
12/8/18 showed, "On December 8, 2018, a

The added intervention for the second sexual
assault was the sign placed on Resident 1's

Review of the facility's "Every 15 minute-24

dated 12/8/18 showed, there was no
observations made of Resident 1 on the unit or

Resident 1's room. As I was passing Resident
1's room, I saw Resident 2 on top of her.
Resident 1's gown was open, you could see
her breasts and stomach, and the brief was
unfastened on one side. Resident 2 was on his
knees with pants down and he was on top of
Resident 1 and he was holding his shirt up;
Resident 2 did not have a gown on. I saw his
butt and his private and I don't think he had the
chance to do much more because the brief was
still partially on. I yelled, 'Stop! Get off of her!'
There should have been somebody at the desk
(Nurse Station 2) at all times, but no one was
there. I kept yelling for staff to come and help
and no one came. Resident 2 then got off of
Resident 1 and came at me. I put my work cart
between us; and finally the Charge Nurse (RN
1) came out and Resident 2's attention went
towards her. Resident 1 was yelling in her own
way. We tried to figure out what her needs
were. I don't think she wanted Resident 2 in
her room or on top of her. Resident 1 was not
capable of communicating and I heard this was
not the first time".
During an interview with RN 1 on 12/21/18 at
2:45 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN 1) stated,
"Resident 2 had been bothering staff for a
snack. One staff had already given him a
snack then I gave him a snack. CNA 2 was
making rounds and CNA 2 also gave him a
snack. It is 12 a.m. or 1 a.m., this was at nightearly morning. I stayed at Station 2 and saw
Resident 2 eating there at the station. I went to
check on him four to five minutes later and he
was gone. Then two or three minutes later I
heard staff screaming, 'Hey, hey, hey'. I went
to check why the screaming and who was
screaming and I saw Resident 2 trying to hit
Hskp 1, who was screaming for help. I
instructed Resident 2 to stop and go back to his
room". RN 1 stated that Hskp 1 told her that
she saw Resident 2 with his pants down on top

didn't see any. I called the DON, Admin 1 and
Medical Director. I did not call the police".
During an interview on 12/11/18 at 2:40 p.m.,
Resident 2 stated he knew the black girl in the
back; she couldn't talk, he may have been in
her room, and if he was on top of her; she liked
it.
During an interview with the SS 1 on 1/4/19 at
9:08 a.m., the SS 1 stated I spoke to Resident
2 and did not write a note for the 11/18/18
incident. SS 1 further stated Resident 2
showed no insight to his behavior, denied he
did it and because of his cognitive impairment
and mental health issues, he was at risk for
doing it again.
Review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled, "Abuse Prevention and Reporting",
revised date of 11/14/17, showed under
definitions that sexual abuse was defined as:
"sexual harassment, sexual coercion, and
sexual assault". The same policy continued by
indicating that, "Staff is required to intervene,
identify and correct situations where any type
of abuse or suspected crimes may occur", and
"The administrator/designee will take all
measures to protect the resident from further
potential abuse".

the Act. The policies and procedures must
include but are not limited to the following
elements.
(i) Annually notifying covered individuals, as
defined at section 1150B(a)(3) of the Act, of
that individual's obligation to comply with the
following reporting requirements.
(A) Each covered individual shall report to the
State Agency and one or more law
enforcement entities for the political subdivision
in which the facility is located any reasonable
suspicion of a crime against any individual who
is a resident of, or is receiving care from, the
facility.
(B) Each covered individual shall report
immediately, but not later than 2 hours after
forming the suspicion, if the events that cause
the suspicion result in serious bodily injury, or
not later than 24 hours if the events that cause
the suspicion do not result in serious bodily
injury.
(ii) Posting a conspicuous notice of employee
rights, as defined at section 1150B(d)(3) of the
Act.
(iii) Prohibiting and preventing retaliation, as
defined at section 1150B(d)(1) and (2) of the
Act.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review the
facility failed to report allegations of abuse for
12 of 12 sampled residents
(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) to the California
Department of Public Health (State Agency).
This failure presented placed residents at the
facility in eminent danger of continued abuse
when reporting to the proper authorities was
neglected.

During an interview on 12/11/18 at 12:50 p.m.,
the DON stated the process for reporting abuse
is whoever receives a report of abuse is
responsible for completing a document for an
incident report and a SOC (SOC 341-Report of
Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse
Form) It is then to be given to the licensed
staff; and then the licensed staff notifies the
DON and the Admin 1.
During an interview on 12/11/18 at 12:55 p.m.,
Admin 1 stated the Licensed Staff is
responsible for both reporting alleged abuse to
the appropriate authority/agency and notifying
both, the DON and Admin 1. Admin 1 further
stated the facility investigates first, before
calling the police, because "these are psych
patients."
