This survey cited 5 deficiencies, 4 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, observation, and record review, the Facility failed to ensure residents were free from sexual abuse for 1 of 3 residents (R2) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 6. This failure resulted in R2 being sexually abused by R3 on 10/5/25 and again on 10/6/25.This Immediate Jeopardy began on 10/5/25 at 5:30 PM when V7, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), witnessed R3 sexually abusing R2. The Facility did not report or investigate this, and no interventions were put in place to protect R2 from R3. The following day, on 10/6/25 at approximately 9:00 AM, R3 entered R2's room and sexually abused R3 again. V1, Administrator, was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 10/17/25 at 12:02 PM. The surveyors confirmed through observation, interview and record review that the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 10/17/25, but noncompliance remains at Level Two because additional time is needed to evaluate implementation and effectiveness of the removal plan.Findings include:On 10/16/25 at 1:30 PM, R2 was sleeping in bed in her room on a specialty mattress with a fall mat to the right side of her bed. R2 did not respond when spoken to. On 10/15/25 at 11:41 AM, V6, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), stated she was doing rounds on the hall and noticed R3 was in R2's room and was trying to get in bed with R2. R2 is non-verbal and cannot consent to sexual relations.On 10/15/25 at 2:10 PM, V7, CNA, stated on 10/5/25 around 5:30 or 6:00 PM, R2 was sitting in her reclining wheelchair in the dining room with her legs in the air. R3 was in his wheelchair sitting next to and facing toward R2 moving his arm back and forth repeatedly. V7 walked closer and saw R2's lower buttocks exposed with R3's hand in her diaper. R3 stated he was checking her diaper. V7 told R3 to stop and moved him away from R2, then asked V18, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and V19, LPN, for help. V19 told R3 to go to his room, and V7 took R2 to her room. R2's incontinent brief fell off when staff were transferring her to her bed because the fasteners on the briefs were torn apart. R2 was agitated and resistive when staff were trying to clean her. V18 never came down to the room to check on R2, and when V7 was finished providing care, she was told V18 left the Facility. V7 then told V20, LPN, who notified V1, Administrator. V7 stated R2 is non-verbal and not able to communicate or consent, and this was a sexual assault. If someone had done something about this, the incident the following day would never have happened.On 10/16/25 at 9:43 AM, V18 stated on 10/5/25 V7 reported R3's hand came out from under R2's blanket. V18 watched the Facility cameras with V19, LPN, and did not see anything happen.On 10/16/25 at 9:51 AM, V19, LPN, stated V7 told her R3 had his hand under R2's blanket in the dining room. V19 reviewed the camera with V18 and did not see anything happen. V19 stated they contacted V1 about this.On 10/16/25 at 11:09 AM, V1 stated she was notified about V7's allegation on 10/5/25. She watched the video surveillance and did not see anything, but V7 was determined it happened. V1 had no idea why V7 would say that, but unfortunately, something happened the next day. V1 stated the original videos have been deleted, but did have one saved video from her phone for surveyors to review. On 10/17/25 at 11:09 AM, the Facility video footage was reviewed with the following (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 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few noted: The video was dated 10/5/25 and was time stamped with footage from 5:59 PM to 6:03 PM. The video showed R2 sitting in her chair on the far lower left corner of the screen. R2's legs were not in full view the entire time. R2 was moving around and moving her legs up and down. R2 was wearing dark colored pants and a blanket. The blanket was covering R2's left leg, and the lower right leg of R2's pants was pushed up due to movement. R2 had wiggled her way around in the chair, and some of her incontinent brief was exposed on the right side. The video did not fully capture R3 in the frame, and the times did not encompass the entire time frame reported by V7.On 10/16/25 at 11:42 AM, V25, Wound Nurse/LPN, stated he was asked to fill out involuntary hospital paperwork R3 on 10/6/25 for inappropriate behavior. V25 stated he was told R3 was putting shaving cream on R2's buttock and needed to be sent out to the hospital.On 10/16/25 at 2:07 PM, V26, Psychiatrist, stated staff told him R3 was being sexually inappropriate, getting into another residents bed and smearing feces in the Facility, so he ordered to have him sent to the hospital. V26 reviewed R3's Progress Note and stated R3 entered in another resident's room, removed her incontinent brief, put shaving cream on her, and said he wanted to have sex.On 10/16/25 at 2:45 PM, V2, Director of Nursing (DON), stated R3 was trying to get into R2's bed. V2 called V26 who wanted R3 to be sent to the hospital for a medical evaluation. Apparently R3 put his hands on R2 on 10/5/25. That is all V2 knew because V1 handles the abuse allegations. V7 was very upset and calling everyone. We told staff to report all allegations to V1 and not discuss with anyone else. R3 was discharged to a men's unit. We felt more comfortable that way.On 10/16/25 at 2:54 PM, V20 stated when she got to work she was informed by V7 that R3 was observed with his hands in R2's incontinent brief. V20 was told V1 had not been notified, so she notified V1 who stated she would take care of it. V20 stated R3 was not placed on any enhanced supervision and was able to move about the facility independently. V20 stated the staff often place R2 in her reclining wheelchair at the nurse's station. V20 stated R3 would propel himself in the hallway, and when he got near R2 he would slow down and look at her. On 10/16/25 at 2:57 PM, V24 stated staff reported R3 went into R2's room, pulled down her (incontinent brief), took his pants down and put shaving cream on her. We had him sent out to the hospital. V24 would expect the facility to keep residents free from abuse. Residents need to be in a safe environment. R3 admitted to V24 that he wanted to have sex. V24 stated that is not ok for him, and she let him know that. R2 is non-verbal and not very engaged or conversational, and V24 does not think she has the ability to consent. There is always potential for psychosocial harm with sexual abuse because that is a violation of personal space and overall safety.On 10/16/25 at 3:14 PM, V1, Administrator, stated on 10/6/25 V6 was rounding and saw R3 in R2's room. Someone said R3 had shaving cream in there. When V1 went to R2's room, R2 was lying in bed on her left side curled up in a ball. She was not wearing a brief because she was in bed and sometimes staff just put the incontinent pad underneath them. Due to fact R3 attempted, we contacted V26 who ordered him to go to the hospital. We wanted to find a (different) Facility for R3, because usually if they do it once they are going to do it again. Allegations of abuse should be reported immediately and residents should be separated to make sure they are safe. She did not report the allegation on 10/5/25 to law enforcement or the Department. She stated it just did not cross her mind because nothing happened.On 10/17/25 at 8:30 AM, V6 stated when she found R3 in R2's room, he was not in the bed with her but looked like he was going to get in the bed his with her. R3's pants were pulled down and he had shaving cream on his hands. R2 was wearing a brief and gown, but her blanket was pulled back. V6 notified V2. On 10/17/25 at 9:17 AM, V27, R2's Family, stated R2 is not able to make her own decisions and does not communicate. On 10/17/25 at 9:26 AM, V28, R2's Family, stated R2 is not alert, oriented, or able to make her own decisions. R2 does not communicate.R2's Face Sheet (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 145985 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 11 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 145985 B.
