F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment, are reported immediately but no later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, for 1 of 6 Residents (Resident #1), reviewed for freedom of abuse. The facility did not report to local law enforcement an allegation of sexual abuse involving Resident #1 by a CNA. This failure could result in law enforcement not investigating an allegation of sexual abuse and subjecting residents to other acts of sexual abuse, psychosocial and physical harm, and a diminished quality of life. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 5/14/25, reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included: dementia (a decline in mental ability), Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other mental functions), and cognitive deficits (difficulties in memory, thinking, and decision making). The RP was listed as: two family members. Record review of Resident#1's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 2/14/25, reflected: BIMS score was 01, which indicated severe impairment in cognition. In the area of toileting (incontinent care) the resident required moderate to extensive assistance by one staff because the resident was incontinent of bowel and bladder. The resident also required moderate assistance in transfer by one staff member. The resident's assistive devise was a wheelchair. Record review of R#1's Hospital Report dated 5/13/25 at 5:52 PM reflected: the RP and a family member alleged sexual abuse of the resident by an unknown provider in the facility. The nature of the sexual abuse was that the resident's breast and vaginal were touched by a CNA. Findings by the hospital were: neck pain, acute pain of left shoulder, history of dementia, and prophylactic for an STD [no finding of sexual abuse]. Record review of R#1's Police Report dated 5/13/25 at 9:02 PM filed by a community representative reflected, Officer # 1785 responded to an indecent assault report made by the RP and a family member. The case was referred to CID Detective #2364. Record review of Resident #1's Incident Law Enforcement Report was filed by the facility on 5/15/25 (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
