authorities.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to timely report an allegation of sexual abuse to the
Administrator for two of three residents (R1, R2) reviewed for sexual abuse on the sample list of three.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
The facility's Serious Injury Incident and Communicable Disease Report dated 4/10/24 at 12:15 pm
documents, on 4/9/24 at 12:45 pm, R2 leaned over and kissed R1 on the lips. Since both R1 and R2 have a
very low BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score; R1 being a 1 {indicating severe cognitive
impairments} and R2 being a 4 {indicating severe cognitive impairments}, the intervention in place is to
make sure that residents are watched and separated to prevent this from happening again.
On 4/17/24 at 11:09 am, V1 (Administrator) stated on 4/10/24, V8 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) came
up to V1 and asked V1 if V1 was aware of what happened on 4/9/24 between R1 and R2. V1 explained V1
was unaware of anything happening, then V8 reported that V8 had been told that R2 kissed R1. V1 stated
V8 did not know any of the specifics though and told V1 to talk to V4 CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant), who
was present when it occurred. V1 then questioned V4 and V4 reported that V4 was taking R1 to the
restroom on 4/9/24 before lunch, around 11:15 am, when R2 approached R1 and kissed R1 and stated, I'm
here now or I'm back, something to that affect. V1 explained R1 was in a wheelchair at that time and that V4
intervened and told R2 that R2 couldn't do that, that it was inappropriate. V1 stated V1 educated V4 that V4
should have reported it immediately to V1 because it is reportable and I (V1) am on a timeline to get things
reported. V1 explained that V4 has worked at the facility for a long time, so (V4) should have already known
that this would be considered a sexual abuse allegation and should have been reported. V4 reported to V1
that V4 reported the allegation to V10 RN (Registered Nurse) when it happened but when V1 spoke to V10,
V10 said that the allegation was never reported to V10.
On 4/17/24 at 12:02 pm, V4 CNA stated V4 was taking R1 to the restroom by the Nurses Station when R2
came up behind us and said I'm going to be here and bent over and kissed R2 on the lips. V4 explained V4
told R2 that R2's actions were inappropriate and that R2 couldn't be doing that {kissing R1}. V4 stated V4
reported the incident to V10 RN (Regitered Nurse), because V4 was busy and assumed that V10 would
have reported the incident to V1 but V10 didn't. V4 explained, the following day, V1 asked V4 about the
incident after being told about it by another CNA.
On 4/17/24 at 7:49 pm, V10 RN (Registered Nurse) stated V4 did not report the incident of R2 kissing R1 to
V10 explaining, if V4 would have, V10 would have immediately reported the incident to V1.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of sexual
abuse for two of three residents (R1, R2) reviewed for sexual abuse on the sample list of three.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings Include:
The facility's Serious Injury Incident and Communicable Disease Report dated 4/10/24 at 12:15 pm
documents, on 4/9/24 at 12:45 pm, R2 leaned over and kissed R1 on the lips. Since both R1 and R2 have a
very low BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score; R1 being a 1 {indicating severe cognitive
impairments} and R2 being a 4 {indicating severe cognitive impairments}, the intervention in place is to
make sure that residents are watched and separated to prevent this from happening again. The
Investigation only contained witness statements from R1, R2, V4 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), V3
Secretary, and V10 RN (Registered Nurse). No other residents were interviewed.
On 4/17/24 at 11:09 am, V1 Administrator stated the only residents that were interviewed were R1 and R2,
the two residents involved in the allegation. V1 stated no other residents were around but now understands
that other residents should have been interviewed to see if they have ever had concerns with R2 or if they
had ever witnessed R2 displaying inappropriate behaviors.
On 4/17/24 at 12:02 pm, V4 CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant) stated V4 was taking R1 to the restroom by
the Nurses Station/Dining Room when R2 came up behind us and said I'm going to be here and bent over
and kissed R2 on the lips. V4 stated there were several people; staff and residents, in the general location
as the incident occurred right before lunch, around 11:15 am.
The facility's Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation, Mistreatment and Misappropriation of Resident Property Policy
dated 1/4/24 documents the facility will have written procedures for investigating abuse, neglect,
misappropriation, and exploitation that include: identifying and interviewing all involved persons, including
the alleged victim, alleged perpetrator, witnesses, and others who might have knowledge of the allegations
to provide a complete and thorough documentation of the investigation.
