Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that staff follow the Abuse Prevention
Policy.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 2 of 3 residents (R1 and R2) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 3.
The findings include:
The undated facility policy entitled Abuse Prevention Training Program Protocol states, The objective of the
Abuse Prevention Program is to comply with the seven step approach to abuse and neglect detection and
prevention. This same policy also states, The direct care staff is responsible for reporting the appearance of
suspicious bruises, lacerations, or other abnormalities of an unknown origin as soon as it is discovered.
On 10/17/24 at 11:40 AM V4 (Corporate Nurse) stated, (V4- Activity Aide) had a suspicion but she didn't
come to us right away. She told (V3- Activity Aide) about it.
On 10/17/24 at 9:44 AM, V4 (Activity Aide) stated, I went in (R1's) room to get him for the activity and (R2)
was next to (R1). (R1) was in the bed. I asked if (R1) was going to go to the activity and (R2) said, 'No (R1)
wants to take a nap.' (R2) was acting strange as he was tucking the blankets in around (R1)- like he had
just been caught doing something he shouldn't. When (R2) saw me, he quickly threw the blanket over (R1).
I did not try to get (R2) away from (R1). I left and (R2) came down to the activity about 15 minutes later. V4
stated Administration was upset because I didn't report it right away. At 2:10 PM V4 stated, I saw (R1) up in
his chair (on 10/15/24) about 9:20 AM, I was surprised when I came back up at 9:45 AM that he was not
waiting at the elevator like he normally is, so I went to find him in his room. That is when I saw (R2) in there
with him. (R1) did not go to the morning activity .We reported it to Administration about 2:30-3:00PM.
(About 5 hours later)

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that staff report suspicions of sexual
abuse to administration in a timely manner.
Residents Affected - Few
This applies to 2 of 3 residents (R1 and R2) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 3.
The findings include:
The facility Reported Incident dated 10/15/24 states, Activity Staff alleged that when they checked on
resident (R1) to see if he was attending an activity, staff observed (R2) putting a blanket over (R1) and
tucking in the blanket .
The activity staff were suspicious of the gesture and reported to the administrator that (R2) may have
touched (R1) in his private areas. Staff denied seeing (R1) touch (R2). Both residents were fully clothed
with pants on.
On 10/17/24 at 9:44 AM, V4 (Activity Aide) stated, I went in (R1's) room to get him for the activity and (R2)
was next to (R1). (R1) was in the bed. I asked if (R1) was going to go the activity and (R2) said, 'No (R1)
wants to take a nap.' (R2) was acting strange as he was tucking the blankets in around (R1)- like he had
just been caught doing something he shouldn't. When (R2) saw me, he quickly threw the blanket over (R1).
I did not try to get (R2) away from (R1). I left and (R2) came down to the activity about 15 minutes later.
(R2) and (R1) got close during activities, he is always touching (R1) on the arm and whispering things in his
ear. (R2) is too friendly with other residents too. (R2's) relationship with (R1) is just weird. Before the nail
activity that day, (R2) had (R1) were in the corner and he was talking to him. (R1) has episodes where he
freaks out and (R2) is always right there trying to help. A lot of times after about 10 minutes (R1) is ready to
get away from (R2). Yesterday (R1) was freaking out in the dining room and worried that (R2) would be
coming around in the activity. (R1) told the psychiatrist (V8- Psych Nurse Practitioner) that my friend is
touching me and the psychiatrist wanted to talk to me. Administration was upset because I didn't report it
right away. (R2) is really a good guy, highly intelligent. It was a few hours before we reported anything
because I really didn't see anything. (R1) went on his own and told (V1- Administrator) everything. As far as
I know both residents were fully dressed. The police came and interviewed (R1) and said we should have
reported it right away. They feel that nothing happened. Now they can be together in activities, but they have
to be watched.
On 10/17/24 at 9:20 AM, V3 (Activity Aide) stated, I didn't see anything. (V4) came out of the room and told
me you know how someone acts when they get caught doing something they are not supposed to- that is
how (R2) was acting. (R1) was in bed-he got in by himself. He is not supposed to, but he can. (R1) has the
mind of a child and (R2) is very intelligent. That whole day (R2) was very connected to (R1) and wouldn't
leave his side. When he finally did, I asked (R1) if (R2) has been touching him in his private area and (R1)
said 'yes'. I went to (V1) and (R1) went there too. (R1) started telling (V1) that (R2) had touched him in his
private area. Then (V1) went to the Nurses on the third floor and told them not to let (R2) come up there.
Yesterday was really bad and (R1) kept saying that he did not want (R2) up there. He is like a child, and I
had to ask him the right question to get the answer. He had never reported it before. I know they talked to
(R2), but I don't know what (R2) said. He is very smart and sneaky. (V5- Corporate Nurse) and V1 talked to
R2. (V4) didn't see under the covers if (R1) was dressed or not. Once (V4) came in the room (R2) covered
(R1) up really quick.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 10/17/24 at 11:40 AM, V5 (Corporate Nurse) stated, (V4) had a suspicion but she didn't come to us
right away. She told (V3) about it. When I interviewed (R1) he said the staff downstairs told me that my
friend was touching me inappropriately. (V3) said (R2) is a sexual predator. (R2) is autistic and doesn't
really hang out with other residents . We were told about this last Tuesday. (V3) and (R1) came together. By
that time a lot of people knew about this situation .
Residents Affected - Few
On 10/17/24 at 2:10 PM V4 stated, I saw (R1) up in his chair (on 10/15/24) about 9:20 AM and he asked
me what we were doing in activities, and he waved at me as I went downstairs. I was surprised when I
came back up at 9:45 AM that he was not waiting at the elevator like he normally is, so I went to find him in
his room. That is when I saw (R2) in there with him. (R1) did not go to the morning activity. Then he went
down for the 2pm activity- nails- and his face looked different, so I asked him what was wrong? (R2) was
right there and asked (R1) if I was taking good care of him. Then (R2) left and (R1) went to (R3) and she
asked him about (R2) touching him and he told her yes. We reported it to Administration about
2:30-3:00PM.
The undated facility policy entitled Abuse Prevention Training Program- Protocol states, The direct care staff
is responsible for reporting the appearance of suspicious bruises, lacerations, or other abnormalities of an
unknown origin as soon as it is discovered. The report is to be documented on a facility incident report and
provided to the nursing supervisor, administrator or designated individual.
