R24 was unable to answer due to severe limitations in cognition due to dementia. V1 could not produce
written evidence of the interviews. V1 stated she also questioned R43 as a part of the investigation but
forgot to write it down. V1 stated after these interviews, she determined no further action was needed as R3
was not previously known to display sexual acting out behavior, and R3 stated he was patting down a
prisoner, which was consistent with his previous employment duties. V1 stated that staff pretty much
constantly supervise R3, and she is not concerned about the possibility of R3 acting out sexually with other
residents. V1 did state that immediately after the incident, staff had discussed transferring R3 to a dementia
care unit due to the incident, and as additionally he has become more resistant to care and verbally
aggressing toward staff. V1 stated R3 was having issues with R3's blood sugar at that time and was not
able to be transferred, and there was no further discussion of transfer even after R3 stabilized physically. V1
stated she did not notify local law enforcement of the incident because she had determined that R3 had no
sexual intent when touching R24's breasts and was acting out due to R3's dementia.
On 2/17/21 at 10:36am, R43 was alert and oriented to person place time and purpose. R43 stated R43 has
never been interviewed by V1 and stated she has had no interactions with V1 other than saying Hi in
passing. R43 stated R3 self-propels in and out of resident rooms on a regular basis, including R43's room.
R43 stated when this occurs, R43 tells R3 to leave, and R3 does. R43 stated R3 is not constantly
supervised by staff and has plenty of opportunity to come in contact with other residents in an
unsupervised setting.
On 2/18/22 at 9:25am, V12 corroborated V11's account of the incident. V12 stated she had never witnessed
R3 act out sexually prior to this incident. V12 stated R3 self-propels freely around on the first-floor unit and
has been known to go into other residents rooms without permission.
R3's Face Sheet lists diagnoses including unspecified Dementia and unspecified Hallucinations. R3's
1/19/22 Minimum Data Set (MDS) BIMS documented a score of five, indicating R3's has severe cognitive
deficits.
R24's Face Sheet listed diagnoses including unspecified Dementia. R24's 12/17/21 MDS BIMS
documented a score of 99, indicating R24's confusion is so severe that R24 was unable to complete the

only to self, at times giving nonsensical responses to the surveyor's questions.
A correspondence titled, Report to IDPH (the Illinois Department of Public Health) authored by V1
(Administrator) dated 12/31/21 stated, On 12/30/21 at approximately 13:16(1:16 pm), (V12 Housekeeping

and R24) were in the hall and (R3) was patting (R24) breasts with both hands. (R24) clothing was in place.
(R3) was (previously) an employee at (a mental health facility) for many years, (and)has a diagnosis of
dementia, with a BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status Score) of 5 (indicating severe cognitive deficits.)
A correspondence to IDPH authored by V1 dated 1/10/22 documented, This is a revised report related to
an incident that took place on 12/30/21 (regarding R3 and R24). Upon interview (R24) had clear speech
(but) was unable to say what happened. (R24) has a BIMS score of 99. (Indicating R24's cognition is so
impaired the test was unable to be administered.) No injuries were reported. (R3 and R24) were separated

incident, and as additionally he has become more resistant to care and verbally aggressing toward staff. V1
stated R3 was having issues with his blood sugar and was not able to be transferred at that time, so there
was no further discussion of transfer even after R3 stabilized physically.
On 2/17/21 at 10:36 am, R43 was alert and oriented to person place time and purpose. R43 stated R3
self-propels in and out of resident rooms on a regular basis, including R43's room. R43 stated R3 is not
constantly supervised by staff and has plenty of opportunity to come in contact with other residents in an
unsupervised setting.

did not respond to the surveyor. V11 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN), who was standing nearby, stated R24
is very confused and often does not respond verbally.
On 2/15/22 at 12:10 pm, R24 was observed to be asleep at the table during lunch service in the dining
room. R24 was served a lunch of chicken, potatoes, and broccoli at 12:22 pm. R24 continued to sleep until
12:41pm with no intervention from staff. R24 then awoke and consumed 100 percent of R24's tea and
water but did not eat at all. At 1:10 pm, R24 self-propelled out of the dining room, having consumed only
fluid and had not been offered an alternative meal by staff.
On 2/16/22 at 12:28 pm, V9 (LPN) sat R24's tray of lasagna, salad, and dessert in front of R24, and R24
stated R24 didn't want it. V9 told R24 she needed to try to eat something and left without offering R24 a

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Some
that R28 never gets what R28 asks for during the meals. R28 stated that today at lunch R28 also asked for
some juice for the ham and the black-eyed peas but no one would give R28 any. R25 and R28 further
stated that they do not know what they have to offer other than what is served. If the staff remember to write
the menu on the board, they cannot see the board that far away and no one tells them what the substitute
is. R25 and R28 went on to state that the staff do not listen to them when they ask for food items on the
menu, so they do not bother to ask for substitutes. R28 had only eaten the ham on R28's lunch plate and
R25 had only eaten the dessert.
On 2/17/22 at 1:25 pm, V15 (Dietary Supervisor) stated that they had onions and V8 knows that they do
and could be given at request.
During resident council on 2/16/21 at 10:00 am, R22, R23, R27, R28, and R43, stated that the dietary staff
and staff working in the dining room during lunch do not listen to what the residents like and serve foods
that go to waste. The chicken is too tough and dry with no gravy on top, and the substitute is never listed as
an option or communicated them and is typically a leftover of something from the previous meals. All
residents present during the meeting were alert to person, place, and time.
Review of the patient complaint report dated 9/3/21 resulting from a resident council document that the
residents stated during the meeting that dietary aids ignore them when they ask for something and the
menu is not always written on the board upstairs.
4. On 02/16/22 at 12:27 PM, R14's lunch meal tray was delivered to her containing lasagna, green beans,
lettuce salad with ranch dressing, cheesecake slice, and a roll.
On 2/16/22 at 12:38 pm, R14 was observed as eating green beans, a couple bites of salad, 3/4 of
cheesecake piece, and a roll. Through continuous observation, R14 was observed not even attempting to
eat the lasagna. R14 is alert to person only.
On 2/16/22 at 12:46 pm, V9 (Licensed Practical Nurse) approached and asked R14 if R14 was going to eat
the lasagna in which R14 stated no, I don't like that. V9 was observed taking R14's meal tray with no
alternative food substitute offered.
