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 Facility 1 failed to report an allegation of alleged sexual abuse (non-consensual
sexual contact of any type with a resident) for one (1) of two sampled residents (Residents 1) within 2-hour
timeframe to the State Survey Agency (SA, where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care
facilities), ombudsman (OMB) (advocates for residents of nursing homes, board and care homes and
assisted living facilities), and local law enforcement when OMB and local law enforcement (PD) went to the
Facility 1 to investigate the allegation of sexual abuse by Resident 1 to Resident 2.
This deficient practice had the potential to result in unidentified abuse in the Facility 1 and failure to protect
other residents from abuse.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the Facility 1 on 9/21/2024 with diagnoses of schizophrenia a (a mental illness that is
characterized by disturbances in thought), anxiety (a group of mental health conditions that cause
excessive fear and worry), and limitation of activities due to disability.
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool), dated 1/30/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 1 had moderately impaired (decisions poor; cues/supervision required) of
cognitive skills (ability to understand and make decisions) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 is independent (resident completes the activity by themself with no assistance from a helper)
with eating. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans
up; resident completes activity) with oral hygiene and upper body dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 1
required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and /or
contact guard assistance as resident completes activity. Assistance may be provided throughout the activity
or intermittently) with toileting hygiene, shower/ bathe self, lower body dressing, and putting on/taking off
footwear, lying and sitting on the side of the bed, sit to stand position, toilet transfer and tub/shower transfer.
During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was
admitted to the Facility 1 on 12/26/2024 with diagnoses of diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM type 1 , is a
life-long autoimmune disease that prevents the pancreas from making insulin), schizoaffective disorders a
mental health condition that combines symptoms of schizophrenia and a mood disorder, such as
depression or bipolar disorder), and anxiety disorders (a group of mental health conditions that cause
