Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:

The resident told LPN #215 and STNA #205 they were physically abusive to him when they were wiping
him and he claimed it was sexual abuse.
Interview with STNA #203 on 08/14/19 at 9:26 A.M. revealed she witnessed STNA #205 verbally abuse
Resident #17 a few weeks ago and she reported it to the Administrator. She revealed Resident #17
reported to her on 07/14/19 he felt he had been abused when a staff member said to him, is this what your
going to do now, piss yourself like a baby? STNA #203 stated she reported it to Social Service Worker

revealed he had reported the allegation of verbal abuse to LPN #210 of the incident as well and said she
would report the allegation to the Administrator.

progress note dated 05/12/19 where Resident #17 claimed he was physically and sexually abused by LPN
#215 and STNA #205. The Administrator also revealed she was unaware of the incident on 07/14/19
involving Resident #17 reporting alleged verbal abuse to STNA #203 and LPN #210. The Administrator
further confirmed neither allegations of abuse were reported to the state agency or investigated in a timely
manner.

and LPN #215. The DON revealed LPN #210 did not recall any incident of Resident #17 alleging verbal
abuse on 07/14/19. LPN #215 provided a statement which revealed when she went to do pericare with
STNA #205, Resident #17 was saying ouch, you are beating me up and said they were sexually abusing
him. LPN #215 revealed they did not want to leave him soiled and since there were two people in the room,
she felt like it was a false allegation and just put the incident in the resident's nursing notes and did not
report it. The DON confirmed it was the facility's policy to report any allegation of abuse.
