(c) Abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In addition
to the freedom from abuse, neglect, and
exploitation requirements in § 483.12, facilities
must also provide training to their staff that at a
minimum educates staff on(c)(1) Activities that constitute abuse, neglect,
exploitation, and misappropriation of resident
property as set forth at § 483.12.
(c)(2) Procedures for reporting incidents of
abuse, neglect, exploitation, or the
misappropriation of resident property
(c)(3) Dementia management and resident
abuse prevention.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to implement the
facility policy and procedure for abuse after
Resident A reported to staff that Resident B
raped her. The facility failed to:
1. Provide follow-up care for the Resident A
after the alleged rape; and
2. Ensure Resident B was placed on one to
one Behavior Precaution (BP) monitoring (one
staff member with the resident at all times to
ensure the safety of other residents), as
outlined in the policy and procedure, in order to
ensure Resident A's safety.
These facility failures increased the potential
for serious psychological and physical harm or
injury for residents in the facility.

for the alleged rape were documented on the

support after the alleged rape.

who came to the facility after the alleged rape
was reported, stated he did not think the
alleged rape ever happened. The DON stated,
based on the police officer's opinion, the facility
staff agreed that the alleged rape never
occurred. The DON stated, if staff thought the
alleged rape had actually occurred, they would
have done more comprehensive
documentation of Resident A's assessments
and documented any immediate interventions
put into place for Resident A by the psychiatric
team.
On May 10, 2017, at 12:30 p.m., during a
interview with the DON, she stated the facility
should not have based their investigation on

rape. The DON stated the facility should have
followed the policy and procedure and
completed the documentation and appropriate
interventions for Resident A after the resident
reported the alleged rape.

procedure titled, "Abuse Procedure," dated
