Review of a handwritten statement dated 08/12 (no year), no author, (later revealed by the DON to be written by RN #100) revealed Resident Resident #51 stated a patient was in his room and was touching him inappropriately, CNA removed Resident #52 from his room and put her in bed and informed nurse.

She did her rounds. Resident #52 was still up and asked her if she wanted to go back to bed. She said no so CNA #150 stated she sat down for about 10 minutes when she heard Resident #51 yelling. When she went to the room the resident was in his doorway holding onto doorway and handle of bathroom. She grabbed a wheelchair for him to sit down. CNA #150 stated that was when she saw Resident #52 sitting on Resident #51's bed and told her she was in the wrong room, CNA #150 assisted Resident #52 back to her room.When she went back to Resident #51's he told her Resident #52 touched him sexually and made him uncomfortable. She stated she would tell the nurse. The nurse was on break but she told her immediately when she saw her.

She added it was her third week there and she could not remember everything in policy or how quickly she needed to report allegations of abuse. She stated she told the nurse, but did not recall what time. CNA #150 stated the DON called her at home asking for a statement which she emailed. She stated she was suspended during investigation and terminated a couple of days later.Interviews were attempted with RN #100 but were unsuccessful.Interview on 09/19/25 at 5:00 P.M. with the Administrator and DON revealed both RN #100 and CNA #150 were terminated for not reporting timely regarding the incident of allegation of sexual abuse involving Resident #51 and Resident #52. The DON stated RN #100 would not call back to clarify information in her witness statement so they were unclear on the time of events. The DON and Administrator verified the date of 08/11/25 listed in the SRI was a mistake, as the incident did occur on 08/12/25. The time of notification from CNA #150 to RN #100 was unknown. Review of the facility policy titled Abuse Policy and Procedure, not dated, revealed the person observing the incident of patient abuse or suspecting patient abuse must immediately ensure patient safety then immediately report such incidents to their immediate supervisor and /or the charge nurse. The supervisor and/or charge nurse will then contact the Administrator or Director of Nursing. When an incident of patient abuse, neglect, mistreatment, misappropriation, or exploitation is suspected, the incident must be reported to a supervisor and /or charge nurse regardless of the time lapse since the incident occurred.This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under complaint number 2601780.
