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 protect a residents right to be free from resident to resident
sexual abuse. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for abuse in the sample of 6.
The findings include:
R1's face sheet shows she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including schizophrenia,
personal history of other mental and behavioral disorders, and hypertensive heart disease.
R1's care plan initiated on 2/4/22 shows she has a language communication barrier and can speak only
simple English. The care plan also shows she has a cognitive deficit and prefers to be more independent
with activities and chooses to observe from a distance. On 9/25/23 an update to her care plan was initiated
identifying R1 is at risk for abuse due to having a mental illness and noncompliance with medications.
R2's face sheet shows he was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including abnormality of
gait and mobility, muscle weakness, and acquired absence of right leg below knee.
R2's care plan initiated on 1/27/23 and revised on 12/26/23 shows that he has impaired cognitive function
and decision making.
A facility completed incident report shows on 1/19/24 at 12:00 PM, a staff member (identified as V3)
witnessed R1 touch R2's breast. A witness statement completed by V2 (Director of Nursing) shows when
R2 was interviewed about the incident he replied that he did touch R1's breast, he does not know why he
did it and he knew it was wrong to do that.
On 1/31/24 at 9:25 AM, V3 (Director of Rehab) said on 1/19/24 she was exiting the door of the therapy gym
and noticed R2 sitting at the end of the table right outside the doorway, per his usual routine. R1 was
ambulating close to R2 when R2 reached out using his left hand and squeezed R1's left breast. V3 said she
is pretty sure R2 was not aware she was behind him coming out of the gym. V3 said she immediately
intervened and told R2 you can't do that. V3 said R1 did not stop and just continued walking down the hall.
On 1/31/24 at 10:00 AM, V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) said R1 at baseline is not someone who talks
much and answers simple questions occasionally with yes or no answers and head nods.
On 1/31/24 at 10:35 AM, R1 was observed sitting in a chair in the dining area listening to church

music, she was sitting off alone not close to anyone in the activity. At 10:50 AM, R1 was back in her room
and the surveyor attempted to interview her. She replied with only head nods. She nodded yes when asked
if she remembered someone touching her breast at the facility, and nodded no when asked if it had ever
happened to her before. R1 also nodded yes when asked if she currently feels safe at the facility.
On 1/31/24 at 10:40 AM, V7 (Social Service Assistant) said R1 does not communicate besides simple yes
or no answers and head nods. R1 keeps to herself for the most part and will attend some activities. She
said R2 also mostly keeps to himself and sits in the dining/activity area at the same spot by the table. V7
said she would describe R2 as alert and oriented x2 with periods of forgetfulness.
On 1/31/24 at 11:30 AM, V5 (Nurse Practitioner) said R2 answers all of her questions appropriately when
she comes to the facility to see him. She said she believes R2 knows what he did, and he should not be
touching other residents.
On 1/31/24 at 11:35 AM, V4 (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner) said she has been seeing R2 since the
summertime and he has no active diagnosis that she believes would contribute to him touching R1 and he
is not on psychiatric medications.
On 1/31/24 at 12:10 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing) said both R1 and R2 keep more to themselves and
observe activities from a distance with occasional participation. V2 said R1 has a language barrier and
responds to direct questions with simple answers. V2 said she believes R2 is alert and oriented x/times 3
with periods intermittent confusion and knew what he was doing. V2 said the incident on 1/19/24 between
R1 and R2 was substantiated for abuse and R2 was sent out for a psychiatric evaluation and is currently in
a behavioral health psychiatric unit.
