There was a lady who cannot communicate who he was touching inappropriately, [Resident R6] was her name. Confidential Employee E13: Confirmed they had seen Resident R1 be sexually inappropriate with both staff and residents. I fought with him, he literally tried to molest me. It took over an hour to get him out of the bathroom. When asked what residents, stated, Resident R7 mostly. He will go after more, any woman actually. Confirmed Resident R1 wanders into other's rooms, walks around unclothed. He's a very sexual man. Confidential Employee E14: Mostly with Resident R7. He wanders a lot. I redirect him. Employee confirmed that other residents have complained about Resident R7's behavior.

Confidential Employee E20: Resident R1's behavior has been going on over a month, he goes around touching women, putting his hand up their pants, putting his fingers in their mouth, grabbing breasts. I have reported these incidents verbally but never filled out paperwork, did not know I was allowed. When I did report, I was told by the DON, They are older people and are allowed to touch. Confidential Employee E26: I have only overheard the other staff talk about Resident R1 but have never physically seen him do anything. As far as I know these incidents have been reported. Confidential Employee E32: I have brought the incidents with Resident R1 to the attention of the DON that his behaviors were getting worse, targets ladies that can't defend themselves, other residents try stopping it.
