Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
On 2/14/25 at 12:37PM, V4 (Physical Therapist) stated, I was the only witness to the incident with (R1) and
(R2). I was walking past the dining room and saw (R2) with his hand inside (R1's) shirt at her breast area.
(R1) was giggling and (R2) said they were having fun. (R2) is disoriented when it comes to his situation, but
he is oriented to name and place. When I separated the residents, he was calling (R1) by a different name,
so I don't even think he knows who she is. (R2) seems to have more issues with short term memory than
anything. His long-term memory seems to be okay, and he was very apologetic after the incident because
he said he knew it was wrong.
On 2/14/25 at 1:00PM, V1 (Administrator) stated, I know (R2) well and he is confused, although he scores
high on his BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) exam. I'm not sure how he does but it seems like his
short-term memory is more affected than his long-term memory. We knew this incident was going to be an
issue because (R2) knew what he was doing and (R1) is disoriented. We have been keeping them
separated since the incident but (R1) does go around the facility by herself so we have been keeping an
eye on her. This incident does fit the definition of abuse because (R2) acted with intent and knew what he
was doing.
The facility's policy titled, Abuse prevention and Reporting dated 10/24/22 showed, This facility affirms the
right of our residents to be free from abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, deprivation
of goods and services by staff or mistreatment. This facility therefore prohibits abuse, neglect, exploitation,

limited to, sexual harassment, sexual coercion, or sexual assault including non-consensual or
non-competent to consent sexual activity. Sexual abuse incudes but is not limited to unwanted intimate
touching of any kind especially to of breasts or perineal area .
