or physical abuse, corporal punishment, or
involuntary seclusion;
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to ensure residents were free from
abuse when two of two residents (Residents 1
and 2) were allegedly sexually battered by
certified nursing assistant A (CNA A). This
failure resulted in emotional trauma for
Resident 1 and Resident 2.
Findings:

indicated she was admitted to the facility on
5/12/2015 with diagnoses of aphasia (loss of
ability to understand or express speech,
caused by brain damage), hemiplegia (muscle
weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the
body that can affect the arms, legs, and facial
muscles) on right dominant side and CVA
(ischemic stroke is caused by a blood clot that
blocks or plugs a blood vessel).
Review of Resident 1's Progress Notes dated
3/1/2020 at 12:10 a.m., written by licensed
vocational nurse A (LVN A) indicated at 10:25
p.m. "writer was notified by CNA that another
CNA allegedly behaved inappropriately with a
resident."
Review of Resident 2's admission sheet
indicated she was admitted to the facility on

3/1/2020 at 12:17 a.m., written by LVN A
indicated at 10:25 p.m. "writer was notified by
CNA that another CNA allegedly behaved
inappropriately with a resident."
In an interview on 3/3/2020 at 2:09 p.m., LVN A
stated in the night of 2/29/2020 after 10:00 p.m.
he was approached by CNA B who stated CNA
A "spanked" Resident 2 on the bare buttocks
and CNA A pinched the breast and twisted the
nipple of Resident 1. LVN A stated he went to
Resident 1 who nodded her head to the
question of pain and nodded yes for the
question if something happened to her. LVN A
stated he went to Resident 2 who stated she
was not in pain, but the slapping happened.
In an interview on 3/3/2020 at 2:51 p.m., CNA
B stated in the night of 2/29/2020 she wanted
to change Resident 2 and she needed CNA A
for assistance. Resident 2 was positioned on
her side and CNA A held her. She stated she
needed a pad and left the room. When she
returned she could hear a slapping sound and
Resident 2 told CNA A "stop hitting my butt".
Since the curtain was pulled she was not able
to see what she heard. CNA B asked CNA A
what he had done and his response was only
that he chuckled. When they left the room
Resident 1 called for help and they both
entered her room. Resident 1 needed her top
to be changed. We both pulled her top off and
CNA A had one hand on her shoulder and with
the other hand he pinched the nipple and said
"titty twist". Resident 1 giggled in nervousness,
which she would do when she felt
uncomfortable. CNA B stated she asked CNA
A why he did this and he responded, "don't tell
anybody".
During an interview with Resident 1 on
3/3/2020 at 3:50 p.m., when approached if she
would like to talk regarding the incident she
