The Administrator said he was aware of a sexual abuse allegation that was self reported but that it occurred prior to his employment at the facility. The DON said she was aware of the sexual abuse allegation that was a self reported incident concerning the Floor Tech. The DON said there was an allegation of sexual abuse on 06/08/2024 when CNA A was making rounds in the hallway she had noticed a residents door was shut and when she opened the door the Floor Tech was in the bed with Resident #1. The DON said there was no harm to the resident noted and she was sent to the ER for an evaluation and she came back to the facility with a suggestion for UTI and no other orders. The DON said Resident #1 was evaluated by a SANE nurse and the DON had been calling the Investigator daily to get those results because the hospital would not release them since they were under investigation. The DON said there were no concerns with the Floor Tech's background history and that he had a clear record. The DON said the Floor Tech was brought to the front of the building immediately to ensure resident safety and two staff members sat with him until the police came and he was escorted off the property. The DON said he was arrested, did not know he was currently in jail but that he got bonded out on Sunday, 06/09/2024. The DON said the family was notified and was not sure if they decided to press charges. The DON said it was important residents were free from sexual abuse to ensure their well-being and safety and in response to the incident the facility completed 100% of skin assessments on residents, social life safety rounds,and in-servicing on abuse. The DON said there was one other resident, Resident #2, identified with related concerns. The DON said Resident #2 reported about 2 weeks prior the Floor Tech had came into her room and was rubbing his private area on her body and had touched and kissed her neck. The DON said Resident #2 did not mention any other times and said it only happened once. During an interview on 06/21/2024 at 4:09 p.m., the Ombudsman said she had a concern that she received a self report that a staff member was found in the bed with a resident. During an observation on 06/21/2024 at 4:28 PM, Resident #1 was laying in bed on her left side covered with sheet, bed in low position, and the door to room was open with her television on. Resident #1 did not respond to greeting or questions and appeared in no apparent distress. During an interview on 06/25/2024 at 9:30 a.m., CNA A said she had been employed at the facility since April 2024. CNA A said on 06/08/2024 around or after 1:00 p.m., she walked in the room and saw the Floor Tech lying behind Resident #1. CNA A said Resident #1 had her eyes closed facing the door, lying on her side and the Floor Tech was lying on his side behind her under the covers. CNA A said the Floor Tech appeared to have his clothes on and when he rose up he spinned the covers around and started to act like he was cleaning her bed. CNA A said she did not notice any facial grimacing on Resident #1 at the time of the incident and could see her brief was on and it appeared to be on appropriately and there were no other individuals in the room. CNA A said Resident #1's door was closed and she was a fall risk so staff leave the door open. CNA A said when the Floor Tech rose up from the bed he put his hand across her wiping the bed off and said the bed was wet and grabbed the covers off of her and went to put it in the laundry. CNA A said it was important to protect residents from abuse to ensure their safety and told CNA B that she had to report something to the nurse and when she saw LVN C she reported to her immediately. CNA A said CNA B was a witness that saw the Floor Tech come out of the room. CNA A said LVN C checked on Resident #1 and was calling and notifying management when the Floor Tech was following CNA A around trying to persuade her she did not see anything. CNA A said after she reported to LVN C, she entered Resident #2's room with CNA B and Resident #2 began to report a related concern of staff being inappropriate with her and described the Floor tech's appearance.
