What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to protect R1, a resident with dementia from sexual activity from R2, another resident with dementia with known sexual behaviors and a history of wandering into other resident's rooms. This failure resulted in R1 experiencing sexual abuse at the facility when R2 went into R1's room at night and went into R1's bed and sexually assaulted her in her bed. R1 is unable to give consent to the sexual activity and a reasonable person would not want to be touched without consent. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for sexual assault in the sample of 3. This failure resulted in an immediate jeopardy. The findings include: The immediate jeopardy began on May 22, 2024, when R2 sexually assaulted R1 on the overnight shift during the hours of 12:45 AM-2:00 AM as documented on the Police Incident Report. V1 (Administrator) and V2 (Director of Nursing) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on May 30, 2024, at 2:27 PM. The facility presented an abatement plan on May 31, 2024 to remove the immediacy. The survey team reviewed the abatement plan and was unable to accept the plan to remove the immediacy. The abatement plan was returned to the facility for revisions. The facility presented the revised abatement plan on May 31, 2024 and the survey team accepted the abatement plan. The facility reported that they will be ready on June 03, 2024 for onsite verification. The immediate jeopardy began on May 22, 2024 and removed on June 03, 2024 after onsite verification of implementation of abatement plan to remove the immediacy. The surveyor confirmed by interview and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on June 3, 2024, but remains at a Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the measures taken. Facility census roster dated May 21, 2024, showed that R1, R2 and R3 resided in the Dementia Unit. Facility Incident Report dated May 22, 2024, included as follows: Writer received notification from V16 (R1's family) that an inappropriate event allegedly occurred in R1's room on an overnight shift between 0100-0300. V16 states that there is a video recording of another resident going into R1's room and touching her inappropriately Facility investigation dated May 22, 2024, included interviews and written statements from V7 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.

Digital photos of all the possible biological stains, under lowlight conditions were taken. The stains were checked using a Sirchie Seminal ID AP (Identification Acid Phosphatase) presumptive test for semen and seminal fluid. The white fitted sheet contained a larger stain about halfway down from the top, proximal to the center of the sheet.
