or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview, facility self-reported incident (SRI) and investigation review, the facility failed to
ensure a SRI was thoroughly investigated related to an allegation of resident-to-resident sexual abuse. This
affected two residents (#16 and #49) of five residents reviewed for abuse. The facility census was 47.
Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #16 revealed an admission date of 05/06/24.
Diagnoses included dementia, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease,
restlessness and agitation, and anxiety. Review of the care plan dated 05/01/25 revealed Resident #16
wandered up and down hallways and into other resident's rooms. Interventions included engaging the
resident in activities, moving him into a less stimulating area and redirecting him as needed. Resident #16
also made sexually inappropriate advances towards staff members and mistook a female resident as his
wife, becoming verbally and physically aggressive when redirected. Interventions included analyzing key
times, places, circumstances, and triggers and documenting, assessing, and anticipating the residents'
needs, administering medication as ordered and psychiatric consultations as needed. Review of the nursing
dated 06/21/25 at 6:15 P.M. revealed Resident #16 was noted to be completely naked sitting on the side of
his bed. The behavior was identified as new for the resident, and he was placed on 15-minute checks while
he was in his room. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed
Resident #16 was severely cognitively impaired. He required setup help for eating, oral hygiene, toileting,
supervision for showering and substantial or maximum assistance for personal hygiene. He displayed
behaviors including but not limited to hitting or scratching himself, pacing, public sexual acts, and disrobing
in public. Review of the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) #202's note dated 07/02/25 revealed she was
asked to see Resident #16 due to an episode of sexually inappropriate behavior. According to facility staff,
Resident #16 was found nude and exposed himself to another resident. The Director of Nursing (DON)
revealed Resident #16 had been on medication in the past for sexually inappropriate behaviors. She placed
Resident #16 on Tagamet for sexually inappropriate behavior. Review of the physicians' orders for August
2025 revealed an order for Tagamet 200 milligrams (mg) at bedtime for unspecified mood disorder. The
order began on 07/04/25. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #49 revealed an admission date of
08/18/21 and a discharge date of 08/18/25. Diagnoses included dementia, anxiety, insomnia, depression
and a need for assistance with personal care. Review of the care plan dated 06/10/25 revealed Resident
#49 had a communication problem and was able to respond with general, yes or no responses.
Interventions included anticipating the resident's needs, encouraging the resident to state her thoughts
even if having difficulty, asking yes or no questions, and monitoring for physical or nonverbal indicators of
distress. Review of the comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #49 was severely
cognitively impaired. She was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living and displayed no behaviors.
Review of the nursing note dated 08/13/25 at 9:00 P.M. revealed Resident #16 was observed in Resident
#49's room sitting

on her bed. Resident #49's incontinence brief was opened and down. Resident #16 was observed rubbing
Resident #49's private area inappropriately. Resident #16 was asked to leave the room and placed on
one-to-one supervision. Both Resident #16 and Resident #49's physicians and responsible parties were
notified. Review of SRI tracking number 264021 dated 08/13/25 revealed on 08/13/25 at approximately 9:00
P.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #200 observed Resident #16 in Resident #49's room sitting on her
bed. Resident #16 was observed rubbing Resident #49's private area inappropriately. LPN #200 asked
Resident #16 to leave the room, and he was placed on one-to-one supervision. The Administrator and DON
were notified. LPN #200 and the DON performed a full body assessment on Resident #49, and no injuries
were noted. Resident #49's physician was notified, and she was placed on 15-minute checks. Witness
statements obtained in the investigation revealed no evidence when Resident #16 was last seen or
checked on by staff prior to the incident to determine how long the Resident #16 was in Resident #49's
room. Interview on 08/26/25 at 10:14 A.M. with the DON revealed he received a call from LPN #200 on
08/13/25 informing him Resident #16 was sitting on Resident #49's bed. Resident #49 was described as
sitting on the edge of her bed with her incontinence brief down. Resident #16 was touching her private
area. LPN #200 immediately separated the residents and assessed Resident #49; no negative findings
were discovered. Resident #16 was placed on one-to-one supervision, and Resident #49 was placed on
15-minute checks. Both residents' physicians and families were notified. A referral was made to a
psychiatric inpatient facility for Resident #16; Resident #16 remained on one-to-one supervision until the
transfer to the inpatient psychiatric facility took place. Resident #49 was seen by her psychiatric care team
the following day and was assessed with no changes in psychiatric or mental status noted. The DON
denied having any knowledge Resident #16 had any history of sexually inappropriate behaviors. Interview
on 08/27/25 at 7:25 A.M. with Social Service Designee (SSD) #208 revealed she was aware Resident #16
had a history of wandering but was generally redirectable. She could not verify when the resident had last
been checked on prior to the incident and confirmed the resident was not on any type of increased
supervision or checks at the time of the incident. She verified the investigation could have been more
thorough and included more specific information regarding when Resident #16 had last been seen to
determine how long Resident #16 was in Resident #49's room. Interview on 08/28/25 at 3:57 P.M. with LPN
#200 revealed she entered Resident #49's room to give her medications and saw Resident #16 sitting on
her bed. Resident #49's incontinence brief was open, and his fingers were in her vagina. She could not
recall if she asked him what he was doing or what Resident #49's reaction was to the situation. She could
not verify what time she had seen either resident prior to the incident. The facility did not have a policy
related to investigation of SRI's. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint
Number 2959789.

was placed on one-to-one supervision, and Resident #49 was placed on 15-minute checks. Both residents'
physicians and families were notified. A referral was made to a psychiatric inpatient facility for Resident #16;
Resident #16 remained on one-to-one supervision until the transfer to the inpatient psychiatric facility took

changes in psychiatric or mental status noted. The DON denied having any knowledge Resident #16 had
any history of sexually inappropriate behaviors. Interview on 08/26/25 at 1:19 P.M. with LPN #203 revealed
Resident #16 did have a history of wandering, he typically wandered into other people's bedrooms and
bathrooms. She said the facility did the best they could in redirecting and monitoring him, but she had no
knowledge of the resident being on any type of increased supervision prior to the incident with Resident
#49. Interview on 08/26/25 at 1:25 P.M. with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #204 revealed she had no
knowledge of Resident #16 ever being sexually inappropriate with any other resident; however, she was
aware that he wandered and while it was difficult at times, the facility attempted to redirect him as much as
possible. She confirmed there was no increased level of supervision immediately prior to the incident
occurring with Resident #49, and no tracking in place to verify when Resident #16 had last been checked
on. Interview on 08/26/25 at 2:07 P.M. with Resident #49's sister revealed she was aware Resident #16 had
a history of wandering, and during her visits to the facility, she felt he had been wandering more frequently
prior to the incident, in and out of people's rooms and sitting on their beds. She visited Resident #49 the
morning after the incident was reported to her and revealed Resident #49 gave no indication of the incident
the night prior and did not seem in any distress. She spoke with the former Administrator who confirmed
Resident #16 was being transferred for psychiatric care but may return to the facility upon discharge.
Resident #49's sister spoke with her family and felt it was in Resident #49's best interest to have her moved
to a different facility. Interview on 08/27/25 at 7:25 A.M. with Social Service Designee (SSD) #208 revealed
she was aware Resident #16 had a history of wandering but was generally redirectable. She could not
verify when the resident had last been checked on prior to the incident on 08/13/25, and confirmed there
was no discussion of the need for Resident #16 to be on any kind of increased supervision or checks after
his visit from psychiatric NP #202 on 07/02/25. Interview on 08/27/25 at 12:48 P.M. with Corporate Risk
Manager #207 revealed the psychiatric NP #202 note dated 07/02/25 regarding Resident #16 being
sexually inappropriate was in reference to the resident being found sitting naked on his bed on 06/21/25. At
that time the facility implemented 15-minute checks while the resident was in his room and discontinued
those checks on 07/02/25 when psychiatric NP #202 saw him and started him on medications. Interview on
08/28/25 at 3:57 P.M. with LPN #200 revealed she entered Resident #49's room to give her medications
and saw Resident #16 sitting on her bed. Resident #49's incontinence brief was open, and his fingers were
in her vagina. She could not recall if she asked him what he was doing or what Resident #49's reaction was
to the situation. She could not verify what time she had last seen either resident. She confirmed neither
resident was on 15-minute checks, one to one supervision or any other type of additional supervision or
monitoring immediately prior to this incident. Review of the facility policy titled Behavioral Assessment,
Intervention and Monitoring, dated March 2019, revealed The interdisciplinary team (IDT) put evaluate
behavioral symptoms to determine the degree of severity, distress and potential safety risk to the resident.
Safety strategies would be implemented to protect the resident and others from harm. Interventions would
be adjusted based on the impact of the behavior. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated
under Incident Number 2600512 and Complaint Number 2595789.
