**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NON-COMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.
Residents Affected - Few
Based on medical record review, emergency room record review, review of a facility Self-Reported Incident
(SRI), review of the facility investigation, review of the news broadcast at https://wtov9.com/news, employee
code of conduct review, staff interviews, resident interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to
prevent staff to resident sexual abuse. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for actual
physical and psychosocial harm on 08/08/24 at approximately 11:10 A.M. when Hospitality Aide (HA) #286
witnessed an incident of potential sexual abuse between Maintenance Director (MD) #300 and Resident
#1, a resident with a court appointed legal guardian due to mental incapacity with a known history of
hypersexual tendencies. On 08/08/24 HA #286 observed Resident #1 sitting in her room on the floor, with
the door closed and Maintenance Director (MD) #300 standing in front of the resident. Upon entry to the
room, HA #286 observed MD #300 pulling down his shirt and his pants appeared to have been unbuttoned.
The incident was reported to nursing staff and the Administrator and MD #300 was suspended pending an
investigation of alleged sexual abuse. The local police department was notified of the alleged incident. On
08/08/24 at 3:45 P.M. Police Chief (PC) #306 contacted the facility Administrator and reported MD #300
confessed to receiving oral sex from Resident #1 on 08/08/24 when discovered in the resident's room. The
PC also reported MD #300 confessed to having sexual interactions with Resident #1 for the last nine to 12
months (while he was employed at the facility). MD #300 was arrested and charged with sexual assault of
Resident #1. This affected one resident (#1) of two residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was
75.
On 08/15/24 at 4:30 P.M. the Administrator and Regional Director of Clinical Operations (RDCO) #304 were
notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 08/08/24 when Resident #1 was observed on the floor in her room
with MD #300 standing in front of her. MD #300 was adjusting his shirt, and his pants appeared to be
unbuttoned when discovered by HA #286. MD #300 was suspended pending an investigation and later
confessed to receiving oral sex from Resident #1 and being in a sexual relationship with Resident #1 for the
past nine to 12 months (while employed at the facility). The MD was arrested by police and charged with the
sexual assault of Resident #1. Based on Resident #1's diagnoses and mental incapacity, there was no
evidence Resident #1 was able to consent to this relationship.
The deficient practice was corrected on 08/10/24 when the facility implemented the following corrective
actions:

Review of a facility self-reported incident (SRI), tracking number 250577 revealed an initial report, dated
08/08/24 at 4:21 P.M. related to an incident of sexual abuse involving Resident #1 (victim). The SRI listed
the perpetrator as MD #300. HA #286 was identified to be a witness of the incident. HA #286 reported she
walked into Resident #1's room and the resident was sitting on the floor and MD #300 was standing in front
of her, adjusting his clothing; pulling his shirt down and it appeared to her that, under his shirt, his pants
were unfastened. HA #286 remained in the room and called for help. State Tested Nursing Assistant
(STNA) #285 came in the room and assisted in standing Resident #1 up. HA #286 reported the incident
because the positioning (of those involved) and the clothing adjustment when she walked into the room
seemed suspicious to her. The investigation of the incident revealed on 08/08/24 between 11:10 A.M. and
11:20 A.M. HA #286 entered Resident #1's room and saw Resident #1 sitting on the floor and MD #300
standing in front of her adjusting his clothing. HA #286 ensured Resident #1's safety by asking MD #300 to
immediately leave the room and reported the incident to LPN #238. At 11:30 A.M. LPN #238 reported the
incident to the Administrator. At 11:33 A.M. LPN #238 assessed the resident which included a head-to-toe
and pain assessment. At 11:34 A.M. the Administrator immediately met and interviewed MD #300. MD
#300 denied anything sexual was going on. MD #300 stated he was helping Resident #1 up off the floor.
MD #300 was sent home pending investigation. At 11:45 A.M. the Administrator interviewed HA #286. HA
#286 remained with Human Resource Director #256 to complete a statement and went home after. At

scenario as HA #286 explained. PC #306 stated he would be out. At 12:30 P.M. the Administrator asked
social service staff to speak with Resident #1 and see if she would share any information. At 12:40 P.M. PC

hospital and get checked out. Resident #1 declined at first but then stated it may be nice to get out for a
little bit. PC #306 explained that the hospital may complete a rape kit. Resident #1 stated she was familiar
with them (rape kits). At 1:30 P.M. Resident #1 went out to the emergency room (ER) and at 3:45 P.M. PC
#306 called the administrator. PC #306 reported during their interview with MD #300, MD #300 admitted to
receiving oral sex from Resident #1. MD #300 was arrested and taken to jail. At 5:57 P.M. Resident #1
returned from the ER but no rape kit was performed (resident refused). A skin check was completed upon
the resident's return with no issues noted. On 08/15/24 at 4:59 P.M. the facility SRI was completed. As a
result of this investigation the facility substantiated the incident of sexual abuse.

resident. MD #300 hurried up and pulled his untucked shirt down over the front of his pants. Resident #1
was licking her lips. MD #300 wouldn't move. He said he was trying to help Resident #1 up. MD #300
wouldn't move and kept standing in front of Resident #1. HA #286 moved over a little bit and yelled out the

informed decisions. The NP stated she felt MD #300 knew the status (cognitive and behavioral) of Resident
#1 (he attended morning clinical meetings) including the resident being fixated on sex, her mental status,
that she was on birth control and believed MD #300 likely felt no one would believe the resident if she

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, self-reported incident review, and staff interview the facility failed to timely report an
allegation of sexual abuse and failed to report an allegation of misappropriation to the state survey agency.
This affected two residents (Resident #1 and Resident #50) of three residents reviewed for abuse. The
facility census was 75.
Findings include:
1. Review of the Final Decree of Adjudication of Incapacity and Appointment of Plenary Guardian of the
Person and Estate document dated January 15, 2003, revealed Resident #1 was adjudged and decreed an
incapacitated person and her parents were appointed as guardians.
Review of Resident #1's medical record revealed an admission date of 08/04/21 with diagnoses including
schizophrenia, adjustment disorder, anxiety, unspecified psychosis not due to a substance or known
physiologic condition, depression, unspecified lack of coordination, difficulty walking and sleep disorder.
Review of the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 Assessment, dated 07/05/24, revealed a Brief Interview
of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 (a level of 13-15 indicates intact cognition). Further review revealed the
resident had delusions and indicated the resident had verbal behaviors directed toward others which
occurred one to three days in the seven-day assessment period.
Review of Resident #1's nurse's note, authored by the DON, dated 08/08/24 at 12:31 P.M. revealed staff
reported an alleged allegation regarding Resident #1. The staff immediately had Resident #1 separated
from harm and made to feel safe. The note included a head-to-toe assessment was completed with no
abnormalities noted.
Review of a facility self-reported incident (SRI), tracking number 250577 revealed an initial report, dated
08/08/24 at 4:21 P.M.and related to an incident of sexual abuse involving Resident #1 (victim). The SRI
listed the perpetrator as MD #300. HA #286 was identified to be a witness of the incident. HA #286 reported
she walked into Resident #1's room and the resident was sitting on the floor and MD #300 was standing in
front of her, adjusting his clothing; pulling his shirt down and it appeared to her that, under his shirt, his
pants were unfastened. HA #286 remained in the room and called for help. State Tested Nursing Assistant
(STNA) #285 came in the room and assisted in standing Resident #1 up. HA #286 reported the incident
because the positioning (of those involved) and the clothing adjustment when she walked into the room
seemed suspicious to her. The investigation of the incident revealed on 08/08/24 between 11:10 A.M. and
11:20 A.M. HA #286 entered Resident #1's room and saw Resident #1 sitting on the floor and MD #300
standing in front of her adjusting his clothing. HA #286 ensured Resident #1's safety by asking MD #300 to
immediately leave the room and reported the incident to LPN #238. At 11:30 A.M. LPN #238 reported the
incident to the Administrator. At 11:33 A.M. LPN #238 assessed the resident which included a head-to-toe
and pain assessment. At 11:34 A.M. the Administrator immediately met and interviewed MD #300. MD
#300 denied anything sexual was going on. MD #300 stated he was helping Resident #1 up off the floor.
MD #300 was sent home pending investigation. At 11:45 A.M. the Administrator interviewed HA #286. HA
#286 remained with Human Resource Director #256 to complete a statement and went home after. At
12:06 P.M. the DON was notified and at 12:25 P.M. the Administrator notified the police and described the
scenario as HA #286 explained. PC #306

including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident property are reported immediately,
but not later than two hours after the allegation is made, if the events that cause the allegation involve
abuse or result in serious bodily injury. The policy also stated for alleged violations of neglect, exploitation,
misappropriation of resident property or mistreatment that do not result in serious bodily injury, the facility
must report the allegation no later than 24 hours.
