charting in the I was in front of the nursing station that's when I saw R1 starting to creep up on her(R1). R2 was on tables on the edge and facing the windows and R1 was on the table next to hers. On 10/11/24 at 10-:30 AM V3 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN) said (R1) is alert and oriented times 2 to 3. About a month or 2 ago he touched resident in the dining room and the CNA saw him. It was around lunchtime on August 19, and I was passing my medications further down the hall. It was in the afternoon. Then CNA V4, came right away. I never saw anything. They already separated him when I got to the dining room. I checked the resident that was touched. I did my visual in the dining room and asked her if she's in any pain. And I pulled her right away to the bathroom close to the dining room and checked on her. I told her she was touched towards the bottom. I don't remember if I wrote any incident report. According to other nurses that R1 has behavior of touching R2 but no other people. I think he thinks she is his girlfriend or something. On 11/12/2024, V1 (Administrator) was asked provided any documentation of R2's behavior of flirting with or talking with other male residents. A social service note dated 8/20/2024 reference a conversation with R2's daughter /POA. According to the note the staff spoke to the daughter (V7) regarding R2 having relationships and the extent of the relationship with male residents. It was reported R2 like the attention from men and wants to have a boyfriend. The V7 (R2's Daughter/Power of Attorney) gave consent for R2 to have limited physical contact with male residents. On 11/13/2024 between 1:47pm-1:59 via phone, V7 (R2's Daughter/Power of Attorney) was interviewed regarding her knowledge of the reported 8/19/2024 incident involving R1, and statements made in the progress notes documented on 8/20/2024 in R1's medical record. V7 stated she was told about the incident and was not surprised nor upset about. She talked with facility staff who report to her staff witnessed a male resident touching R2 inappropriately. V7 also reported she discussed with staff her mother's behavior in the past. She reported while living on the assisted living side of the facility, her mother had a boyfriend/finance. During the interview the surveyor asked, would you interpret the action the male resident did to your mother as appropriate? V7 responded by saying, she didn't interpret it like that. Her mother is not capable of giving any consent. She did explain, she came in agreement with the facility that her mother could have a non-sexual relationship with a male (a companion agreement) under the supervision of staff.
