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.
During an interview on 6/5/2025 at 10:21AM with Social Worker (MSW) 1, MSW 1 stated, Resident 3 and
Resident 4 have a long friendship. The incident was reported by one PCA seeing Resident 4 doing
inappropriate touching to Resident 3 happened last 5/27/2025. It was reported during our morning huddle
last 5/28/2025 and she did not know if it is reportable or not. As a mandated reporter of abuse we need to
report it in 2 hours, but it took time to report.
During Interview on 6/5/2025 at 10:23AM with Social Worker (MSW)2, MSW 2 stated, that as per PCA the
incident happened last 5/27/2025 and it was reported to us during our morning huddle on 5/28/2025, but it
was only last 5/30/2025 that I reported to CDPH and other agencies. 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.
A review of Clinical Progress note dated 5/29/2025 at 10:13am, the Clinical Progress Note indicated
Discussed with Family 1and Family 2 wanted to set up boundaries and report only if boundaries were
