What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 3 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 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 ensure a resident was free from sexual abuse by another resident. This failure affects two residents (R1, R2) reviewed for sexual abuse on the sample list of 26. Findings include: On 9/25/24 at 1:45 PM, V7 Licensed Practical Nurse, stated, I walked into R1's room and saw R1 with his privates (genitals) exposed and R2 was playing with R1's privates (genitals) with her hand. V7 then stated, I did not do anything about it because everyone tells me they are consensual. V7 concluded by stating, I think both R1 and R2 can form consent, they always sit at the table together and I hear them talking to each other asking if the other wants to come to their room. R2's Diagnoses List dated 9/25/24 documents R2's medical diagnoses includes Dementia. There were no facility assessments or referenced ability or inability for R2 to consent to sexual relationships documented in R2's medical record. R2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R2 scored a 2 out of a possible 15 during a Brief Interview for Mental Status, rating R2 as severely cognitively impaired. R1's Diagnoses List dated 9/25/24 documents R1's medical diagnoses includes Dementia. There were no facility assessments or referenced ability or inability for R1 to consent to sexual relationships documented in R1's medical record. R1's MDS dated [DATE] documents R1 received a score of 7 out of 15 during a BIMS, rating R1 as severely cognitively impaired. On 9/25/24 at 1:15 PM, V3 Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated she had direct knowledge of R1 and R2 kissing. On 9/25/24 at 1:25 PM, V5, CNA, stated she had seen R1 and R2 hold hands, and R1 hug R2 around the neck. V5 further stated that another resident reported to V5 seeing R1 in R2's room rubbing on R2's private area (genitals) with her hand. V5 stated she did not think R2 had the capacity to consent to sexual activity. On 9/25/24 at 1:35 PM, V6 CNA, stated she did not think either R1 or R2 had the mental capacity to form consent to sexual activity. On 9/25/24 at 2:55 PM, V2 Director of Nursing, stated, I do know (R1) and (R2) are friendly, I know they used to be at another nursing home at the same time so they have known each other from back before here, I know they sit together at the same table in the dining room, and (R2) stops by (R1's) room to ask if he is going to the dining room. V2 then stated, I do think they both are able to consent to a sexual relationship. V2 concluded by stating, As far as I know there hasn't been any formal (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.

F 0607 Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to document evaluations to determine cognitively impaired residents' capacity to consent to a known sexual relationship, failed to develop their policy on intimate resident behavior to include the criteria for initial evaluation and frequency with which a cognitively impaired resident's capacity to consent to an intimate relationship is to be evaluated, and to specify where and how the evaluations and determinations would be documented and maintained. This failure affects two (R1, R2) residents and has the potential to affect 22 additional cognitively impaired residents (R5 through R26) on the sample list of 26 reviewed for cognitive capacity. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The facility policy (undated) on Intimate Resident Behavior, Privacy, and Relationships, documents the facility may utilize, as appropriate, a mental health practitioner, psychiatrist, clinical social worker, or psychologist, or primary care physician to help in the evaluation and determination of an individual's ability to provide informed consent. R2's Diagnoses List dated 9/25/24 documents R2's medical diagnoses includes Dementia. R2's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R2 scored a 2 out of a possible 15 during a Brief Interview for Mental Status, rating R2 as severely cognitively impaired. R1's Diagnoses List dated 9/25/24 documents R1's medical diagnoses includes Dementia. R1's MDS dated [DATE] documents R1 received a score of 7 out of 15 during a BIMS, rating R1 as severely cognitively impaired. On 9/25/24 at 1:15 PM, V3, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated she had direct knowledge of R1 and R2 kissing. On 9/25/24 at 1:25 PM, V5, CNA, stated she had seen R1 and R2 hold hands, and R1 hug R2 around the neck. V5 further stated that another resident reported to V5 seeing R1 in R2's room rubbing on R2's private area (genitals) with her hand. V5 stated she did not think R2 had the capacity to consent to sexual activity. On 9/25/24 at 1:35 PM, V6 CNA, stated she did not think either R1 nor R2 had the mental capacity to form consent to sexual activity. On 9/25/24 at 1:45 PM, V7, Licensed Practical Nurse, stated, I walked into R1's room and saw R1 with his privates (genitals) exposed and R2 was playing with R1's privates (genitals) with her hand. V7 then stated, I did not do anything about it because everyone tells me they are consensual. V7 concluded by stating, I think both R1 and R2 can form consent, they always sit at the table together and I hear them talking to each other asking if the other wants to come to their room. On 9/25/24 at 2:33 PM, V11, Friend/ Power of Attorney (POA) for R2, stated, I am aware of the situation with (R2) in (R1's) room and playing with (R1's) privates (genitals). I absolutely think she (R1) is aware of what she is doing and I think she has the mental thoughts to be able to do that kind of thing and I don't think that is out of line. On 9/25/24 at 2:47 PM, V12, sister/ POA for (R1), stated, Well (R1) was capable of making that kind of decision (whether to engage in an intimate relationship) before he went into the nursing home so I would say he still is capable of making that kind of decision now. On 9/25/24 at 2:55 PM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated, I do know (R1) and (R2) are friendly, I know they used to be at another nursing home at the same time so they have known each other from back (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145862 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 6 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 145862 B.

F 0607 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some before here, I know they sit together at the same table in the dining room, and (R2) stops by (R1's) room to ask if he is going to the dining room. V2 then stated, I do think they both are able to consent to a sexual relationship. V2 concluded by stating, As far as I know there hasn't been any formal documented evaluation of either one of them for a capacity to consent. On 9/25/24 at 3:40 PM, V13, Social Services Director, I have not ever evaluated either of the two of them for the ability to consent to a sexual relationship. On 9/25/24 at 3:40 PM, V14, Regional Director of Operations, stated, There should have been some documentation of both resident's capacity to consent to sexual activity. Going forward, we will make it as right as we can. On 9/27/24 at 10:27 AM, V14 stated, Absolutely (we should have been able to put all of the documentation of the evaluations of R1 and R2's capacity to consent to a sexual relationship in your hand when you came in to do this survey). The facility policy (undated) on Intimate Resident Behavior, Privacy, and Relationships did not include where and how the results of an evaluation of a resident's capacity to consent to a sexual relationship are to be maintained, nor was there a time interval for the evaluations to be conducted. On 9/27/24 at 2:20 PM, V14, Regional Director of Operations, stated, I don't see that our policy specifies where we would document or maintain the evaluations (of a resident's capacity to consent to an intimate relationship) but going forward we would scan them into the resident's chart. V14 further stated, We would do the evaluations quarterly, we need to set up the form in the PCC (electronic medical record format). On 9/27/24 at 2:20 PM, V17, Regional Director, stated, For now we would just have to scan the evaluations into the medical record. V17 then stated, All I see as far as frequency is as appropriate which isn't very specific. The portion of the policy which V17 referred to documents The facility will record assessment findings in appropriate documentation. There is no mention of the frequency of the assessments or evaluations.

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to develop residents care plans to include an intimate relationship and the need for privacy. This failure affects two residents (R1, R2) out of 5 reviewed for care plans on the sample list of 26. Findings include: On 9/25/24 at 1:45 PM, V7, Licensed Practical Nurse, stated, I walked into R1's room and saw R1 with his privates (genitals) exposed and R2 was playing with R1's privates (genitals) with her hand.

V5 further stated, Another resident reported to me seeing R1 in R2's room rubbing on R2's private area (genitals) with her hand. The facility policy (undated) on Intimate Resident Behavior, Privacy, and Relationships documents the facility encourages residents to appropriately pull privacy curtains and close doors when engaging in behavior of a sexual nature. This same policy documents, The resident's care plan should document issues or concerns related to intimacy and sexual expression. As of 9/25/24 at 2:50 PM, neither R1's nor R2's care plan had an intimate sexual relationship and the need for privacy documented on their individual plans of care. On 9/25/24 at 2:55 PM, V2, Director of Nursing, stated, I can get a care plan fixed for (R1 and R2) about them being in a sexual relationship.
