F 0600 129 staff members were verified as having received abuse training via in-person signatures. Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Two of five staff members answered telephonic communication and verified that training was received and understood via phone; three of five were left voicemails to return call. Residents Affected - Few All staff unaccounted for at this time will receive and sign abuse education training prior to next scheduled shift. Review of [NAME]'s Law check completed on 3/20/25, was verified for 163 of 163 residents. Review of new admissions from 3/20/25, verified that ten of ten residents [NAME]'s Law checks were completed. Review of Clinical Education Services form verified that VP of Clinical Services completed education to the DON on the Sexual Activity Scale (SAS) tool and interventions for residents who are identified to be high risk on 4/2/25. Sexual Activity Scale tool was completed as of 4/3/25, for 152 of 152 residents. There were no new residents identified as high risk. Review of audit tool for future monitoring of Sexual Activity Scale tool completion confirmed. Revised Abuse policy was verified as updated of 4/3/25. The change made to the policy Residents have the right to engage in sexual activity. However, anytime there is a reason to suspect that a resident may not have the capacity to consent to sexual activity, the facility will take steps to ensure that the resident is protected from abuse, including evaluating whether the resident has the capacity to consent to sexual activity. Next facility QAPI meeting scheduled on April 16, 2025. During an interview on 4/3/25, at 3:10 p.m., information was disseminated to the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and VP of Ops Employee E1 that the facility failed to protect Resident R3 with severe cognitive impairment from unwanted/non-consensual sexual contact by Resident R1 who had a history of sexually inappropriate behavior, including an unsolicited sexual contact with Resident R2 on February 18, 2025. This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation when Resident R1 was found naked on top of Resident R3, and because this type of inappropriate, unwanted sexual contact would reasonably cause anyone to have psychosocial harm, it can be determined that the reasonable person in these residents' position would have experienced severe psychosocial harm- dehumanization, and humiliation- as a result of the sexual abuse.
