Findings: During an interview on 6/4/2025 at 2:14PM with Patient Care Assistant 1( PCA1), PCA1 stated, I've been working as Resident 3's PCA since he was admitted , I've known him for a long time. I was working last 5/27/2025 from 7am to 3:30pm. I saw Resident 3 and Resident 4 sitting in front of the TV at the dining area, when suddenly Resident 4 went beside Resident 3 and started rubbing her hands to his face, to his neck then to his chest going down inside his pants. I asked what are you doing Resident 4! then she stopped and said that she was only kissing his hands. I reported to our team leader, RN2 but she replied to me that it's okay to touch because they are friends. When we had our huddle last 5/28/2025 I told the team about the incident, I know that I am a mandated reporter of abuse, but I don't know if this is reportable or not.

There's a delay of reporting because we tried to reach out to the family of Resident 3, they live out of state. The family has been very happy what was happening with the friendship between Resident 3 and Resident 4, however I know it's my mistake not to report it right away.
