She reported she and the MM had been in a sexual relationship since 10/01/23 and they leased an apartment together. Resident #100 stated it was a consensual relationship and she felt safe in the facility. Review of a statement by MM revealed he acknowledged he had been helping Resident #100 in the community to obtain housing and if she didn't get housing, she would lose her kids. He stated he didn't let anyone know about this because Resident #100 told him if he did, she would tell everyone they were having sex. MM #150 admitted he had problems in his marriage. He was educated on professional boundaries with residents. He was informed of the allegation about the phone and was suspended pending further investigation for misappropriation. He adamantly denied he had a sexual relationship with Resident #100.

The resident said they were having sex in her room at the facility, in her hospital bed during appointments, and when the MM took her out shopping in his truck before coming back to the facility. The STNA felt this was reportable, so she reported it to the Administrative Assistant (AA) #155. Interview with AA #155 on 02/06/24 at 9:55 A.M. revealed STNA #151 came to her and reported Resident #100 and MM #150 were having a sexual relationship. She stated she went immediately into the Administrator's office and reported the allegation. Interview with Administrator #156 on 02/06/24 at 11:05 A.M. via telephone confirmed she didn't file an SRI for the reported sexual relationship between MM #150 and Resident #100 because she didn't feel it was abuse, because he denied the allegation and the resident said it was consensual.
