Based on review of resident council minutes, resident and group interviews and interviews with staff and
facility policy, it was determined the facility failed to ensure the residents were offered a private group
meeting during resident council for 10 of 10 residents interviewed (Resident R10, R19, R26, R31, R40,
R43, R50, R52, R54, R56).
Residents Affected - Few
Finding include:
Review of the facility policy titled, Resident Council reviewed 10/23/24, states the facility will provide space,
privacy and support to conduct meetings.
During Resident Group with ten alert and oriented residents on 2/5/25, at 1:00 p.m. Resident R10 and R43
indicated during resident council some of the members did not like to use their name if there was a concern
or problem so the facility doesn't get told. Members of the resident council were asked , during the time they
meet would it be more beneficial to meet in private than in the main dining room where staff and other
residents continuously walk through and can hear the meeting going on, thus allowing residents to voice
their concerns and the president can then take the concerns back to the facility. The President responded
that Resident Council was always conducted with facility staff and other residents present, we never had it
any other way. The residents that attended the group discussion were not aware they could have private
meetings.
Interview with Activities Director and Director of Nursing on 2/5/25, at 2:04 p.m. indicated the facility was
always invited to group meetings but confirmed the meetings were not held privately with only residents.

Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on observations and resident and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to provide
a clean and homelike environment on one of two nursing units (A/E Nursing Unit) and for five of fourteen
residents (Residents R15, R52, R53, R62, and R66).
Findings include:
During an observation on 2/3/25, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Resident R52's was noted to have trash on
the floor, a drawer of the bedside table pulled out of the table and on its side, soiled washcloth and resident
clothing on the floor, disposable cups and used gloves under the bed, and screws and a metal bracket on
the windowsill. The foot board was removed from the bed and was lying on the floor in front of the
wardrobe. The floor food residue adhered to it and dust and crumbs all over it.
During an observation on 2/4/25, at approximately 8:40 a.m., an Environmental Service (EVS) Worker was
seen entering Resident R52's room and emptying the trash can. No other services were performed.
Observation at this time revealed no significant change from the previous observation on 2/3/25.
During an interview on 2/4/25, at 8:47 a.m., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E6 was asked why
Resident R52's room had not been cleaned. She stated that when EVS staff clean the room he pulls the
clothes and drawers out again. Observation with LPN Employee E6 at this time confirmed the screws on
the windowsill, the metal bracket, the tripping hazard of the footboard and other items on the floor, and the
possibility that the food crumbs throughout the room would attract pests.
During an observation on 2/4/25, at approximately 11:30 a.m. Resident R52 room had the items removed
from the floor, the drawer placed back into the bedside table, and the footboard placed between the wall
and the side of the wardrobe. The floor appeared to have been somewhat swept, but a significant amount
food resident was present, and the floor was not mopped.
During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:03 p.m. a bag of what appeared to be trash, and a mop/broom
handle was in the hall at the entrance to the A/E Nursing Unit.
During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:04 p.m. of the shower room near the A/E Nursing Unit station
revealed the commode blocked by two double-bin linen carts, two bedside commode receptacles with a
brown substance in them, and an opened, gallon-sized container of bleach, accessible to residents.
During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:15 p.m. the bathroom trash can for Residents R62 and R53 was
overflowing onto the floor. Review of clinical residents revealed that neither resident was able to exit their
bed and use the bathroom without staff assistance.
During an observation on 2/6/24, at 12:20 p.m. the floor of Residents R66 and R15 had a significant
amount of trash and crumbs on the floor.
During an observation on 2/6/25, at approximately 12:24 p.m., Resident R52's room floor was noted to be
extremely soiled, food residue and crumbs present, one drawer of the three-drawer bedside table to be
missing a handle, and one drawer of the four-drawer dresser to have a missing handle.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of facility policy, clinical records, observations, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined
the facility failed to ensure that one of 26 residents was free from sexual abuse that resulted in the actual
harm of a newly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection for one of 26 residents (Resident R29).
Findings include:
A review of the facility policy titled Abuse and Neglect-Clinical Protocol, last reviewed 10/23/24, indicated
that residents have the right to be free from abuse, as the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable
confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. Instances of
abuse of all residents, irrespective of any mental or physical condition, or causes physical harm, pain or
mental anguish. It includes verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and mental abuse including abuse
facilitated or enabled through the use of technology. Neglect is the failure of the facility, its employees or
service providers to provide goods and services to a resident that are necessary to avoid physical harm,
pain, mental anguish or emotional distress. Sexual Abuse is defined as non-consensual sexual contact of
any type with a resident. The term Willful is used in the definition of abuse means the individual must have
acted deliberately, not that the individual must have intended to inflict injury or harm.
Additionally, the facility policy indicated that abuse prevention included assessing, care planning, cause
identification, treatment/management and monitoring residents with needs and behaviors that may lead to
conflict or neglect. Assessing residents with signs and symptoms of behavior problems and developing and
implementing care plans to address behavioral issues. The facility will strive to maintain adequate staffing
on all shifts to ensure the needs of each resident are met.
Review of Resident R29's clinical record revealed admission to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included encephalopathy (disturbance of brain function that causes confusion, memory loss, and coma in
severe cases), alcoholic cirrhosis (chronic liver disease caused by long-term, excessive alcohol
consumption), depression, muscle weakness.
Review of Resident R29's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated standardized assessment
process conducted periodically to plan resident care) assessment dated [DATE], section C Cognitive
Patterns revealed severe cognitive impairment.
Review of the resident profile revealed Resident R29 has a court appointed guardian. In court appointed
guardianship paperwork dated 12/21/21, it states that due to her diagnosis, Resident R29 suffers from
permanent damage to her brain and recovery is not possible. Resident R29 is unable to receive or evaluate
information or to communicate decisions to such an extent that she is unable to meet her essential
requirement for her personal and financial needs. Resident R29 is in need of guardianship services and is
totally incapacitated. There is no less restrictive alternative to the appointment of a Plenary Guardian and of
the estate of Resident R29.
Review of Resident R29's comprehensive person-centered care, plan of care that was initiated on
10/21/24, and revised on 1/22/25, does not mention the resident as having behaviors related to
inappropriate sexual behaviors (making sexually inappropriate statements to caregivers, engaging in
relationships with other residents,or desire to be sexually active or show sexual expression). No planned

During an interview with Resident R67 on 2/6/25, at 2:44 p.m. he confirmed that he is in a relationship with
Resident R29 and that they are engaged and his plan is to come back and visit her until she is able to be
discharged and move in with him. Review of the clinical record reveals no documentation that Resident R67
is in a relationship with Resident R29.
Review of Resident R29's clinical record revealed the resident was diagnosed with Trichomoniasis(sexually
transmitted infection causing a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and painful urination in
women, men typically have no symptoms). Resident R29 saw a gynecologist on 1/21/25, and office
reported to facility on 1/31/ 25, that results from [NAME] test (Pap test-a cervical cancer screening
procedure that involves taking a cell sample from the cervix, cells are examined then under a microscope)
back positive for this infection and resident would need to start antibiotics to treat the infection.

Resident R29 stated she has been recently engaged in consensual intercourse. Resident also stated
during this visit that she was engaged to a fellow resident, Resident R67, and they plan to move in together.
Resident R29's clinical record failed to reveal documented evidence that social services, medical services
or managerial staff followed up with the resident post-gynecological exam finding to determine the extent of
relationship with Resident R67, and failed to reveal that her person-centered plan of care was reviewed and
revised with new goals and approaches to manage her sexual behavior and

resident-resident relationship.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Review of RN Employee E1 statement on 2/4/25 at 11:30 a.m. reported that she was notified on 1/31/25
that Resident R29 had Trichomoniasis but the facility felt that she came that way (transferred from hospital
on [DATE]), was aware that she was in a relationship with Resident R67, and there was concern that she
might be pregnant due to abdomen being distended (no pregnancy test done at facility but at gynecological
appointment on 1/21/25, the test was negative).
Residents Affected - Few
During an interview on 2/6/25 at 11:00 a.m. Resident R29's guardian stated she was aware that Resident
R29 was in a relationship with another resident at the facility but she was not made aware of the new
diagnosis of a sexually transmitted infection. Guardian stated she feels that Resident R29 does not have
the capacity to differentiate what sexual intercourse entails, meaning is it kissing, oral sex, masturbation or
intercourse or what the repercussions could be such as pregnancy (Resident R29 is still in child-bearing
age with monthly menstruation) or a sexually transmitted infection.
During an interview on 2/6/25, at approximately 11:45 a.m. the Director of Nursing discussed Resident
R29's behaviors as was noted from a previous facility, she was noted to be hypersexual in that she enjoyed
flirting with the male residents and aides, talking in a sexual manner and she enjoyed sitting on men's laps,
she had to be redirected of her behaviors at that facility and currently she is focused on her relationship
with Resident R67. Resident R29 has never been care planned for these known hypersexual behaviors at
her current facility.
During multiple interviews with multiple staff members (NA Employee's E5, E8, and E9) on 2/6/25, it was
noted that Resident R29 and Resident R67 are together all the time, she sometimes goes into his room,
they cuddle and watch movies together on his computer, they talk about moving in together, hug in the
hallway, have been seen kissing. Staff stated that they had made management aware of the seriousness of
the relationship.
During an interview with the Social Worker Employee E10 on 2/6/25, at 11:30 a.m, revealed that she was
aware that Resident R29 and Resident R67 were friends but stated they feel Resident R29 is unable to
make a decision to be in a committed relationship, Resident R67 can make that decision, they are engaged
(did not mention he bought her an engagement ring), and spent time together in various areas of the facility
but are never alone, also stated Resident R67 is due to be discharged soon and plans on returning to visit
Resident R29.
Further review with DON and NHA confirmed the facility failed to ensure proper staff supervision of
Resident R29 and Resident R67 and to develop and implement necessary interventions for a resident with
a severe cognitive impairment from entering a relationship with a resident with cognitive impairment. The
facility failed to develop and implement interventions after suspected sexual abuse occurred and to prevent
further incidents of sexual abuse from occurring. This incident was identified as a harm for one of twenty-six
residents.

Residents Affected - Some
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
review of facility policy, clinical record review,facility submitted documents, and staff interview, it was
determined that the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse in the required timeframe for one of nine
residents (Resident R29).
Finding include:
Review of facility policy Abuse and Neglect dated 10/23/24, indicated abuse is the failure of the facility, its
employees or service providers to provide goods or services that are necessary to attain or maintain
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. All allegations of abuse of unknown source must be reported
immediately to the Administrator, Director of Nursing, and to the applicable State Agency. All serious
incidents involving a resident will be reported to the Department of Health (State Agency) field office within
24 hours.
Review of the clinical record indicated Resident R29 was admitted to the facility on [DATE].
Review of Resident R29's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a periodic assessment of are needs) dated 11/14/24,
indicated diagnoses of encephalopathy (disturbance of brain function that causes confusion, memory loss,
and coma in severe cases), alcoholic cirrhosis (chronic liver disease caused by long-term, excessive
alcohol consumption), depression and muscle weakness. Section C Cognitive Patterns revealed resident
had an updated BIMS score (Brief Interview for Mental Status is a tool used to evaluate cognitive
impairment and assist with dementia diagnosis) of 6, which indicated the resident has severe cognitive
impairment.
During a review of the clinical record it was noted the resident had been recently diagnosed with
Trichomoniasis (sexually transmitted infection causing a foul-smelling vaginal discharge, genital itching and
painful urination in women, men typically have no symptoms) while at a routine gynecological exam.
Interview with the gynecological office noted that the resident stated she had recently been in a consensual
sexual relationship and was engaged to a fellow resident. Resident has a low BIMS score and cognitively
has issues with time and when she thinks something might have occurred, thus making her unreliable as to
when the consensual intercourse might have occurred. During an interview with Resident R29 on 2/7/25, at
3:18 p.m. she discussed her relationship, denied that they were having intercourse but did state that he
touches her leg (pointed to upper thigh) and they cuddle and kiss sometimes.
During an interview on 2/6/24, at approximately 3:30 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of
Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse in the required timeframe for one of
nine residents (Resident R29).
