This survey cited 1 deficiency, 1 of them serious (actual harm or immediate jeopardy). The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to be free from abuse, neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation for one of six residents (Resident #1) reviewed for abuse. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 had the right to be free from abuse when Resident #2 physically and allegedly sexually assaulted her on 06/18/25. An IJ was identified on 06/19/25. The IJ began on 06/18/25 and removed on 06/19/25. The facility took action to remove the IJ before the abbreviated survey began. While the IJ was removed on 06/19/25, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and severity level of potential for more than minimal harm because all staff had not been trained on resident-to-resident abuse prevention. This failure could place residents at risk for abuse. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 06/19/25, reflected Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female who originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 05/16/25, reflected a BIMs score was not calculated. Her active diagnoses included non-alzheimer's dementia (refers to any form of dementia other than Alzheimer's disease), anxiety disorder (characterized by excessive, persistent, and uncontrollable worry and fear about everyday situations), depression (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and schizophrenia (a serious mental health condition that affects how people think, feel, and behave). Record review of Resident #1's Progress Notes reflected the following: - 06/18/25 at 7:35 PM, LVN A wrote: This nurse was summoned by assigned aide, upon walking towards resident this nurse noted redness to residents neck area '[NAME]/Love Bite' This nurse [sic] asked resident how she sustained those redness [sic]. Resident states 'He [sic] was sucking on my neck' Asked resident to show this nurse who was sucking on her neck and she pointed resident [sic] '[Resident #2's initials]'.

CNA B said she took a few residents out for their smoke break around 6:30 PM and came back inside at 6:45 PM. CNA B said she was going to start her next set of rounds on residents and saw Resident #1, Resident #2 and Resident #3 sitting in the TV room together. CNA B said she noticed Resident #1 had bruises and redness that looked like two hickeys, scratches, and other marks to her neck that were not there before during her shift, so she alerted LVN A. CNA B said LVN A came over and asked Resident #1 what happened. CNA B said Resident #1 told LVN A what happened and pointed to Resident #2 saying he sucked on [her] neck and choked her. CNA B said Resident #2 was just sitting in the TV room like nothing had happened. CNA B said LVN A called the police and they came to talk to both residents. CNA B said LVN A told her Resident #2 was put on every 15-minute checks and then someone came to sit in his room with him the rest of the night. CNA B said it was normal for Residents #1, #2 and #3 to all be in the TV room sitting together watching TV after dinner. CNA B said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital and Resident #2 stayed in his room the rest of the shift.

LVN A said after dinner Resident #1 wanted to go to the TV room to watch TV like she normally did every evening. LVN A said she saw Resident #1 sitting there in the chair like she always had. LVN A said she started to make her rounds on the residents and noticed Resident #2's TV was not working for some reason and would not turn on, so she asked if he instead wanted to watch TV in the TV room which he did. LVN A said later on in the shift she heard CNA B asking for her near the TV room, so she went to the area and saw Resident #1's neck was red. LVN A said she asked Resident #1 what happened because her neck was not like that a few minutes ago. LVN A said Resident #1 pointed to Resident #2 and said he sucked on her neck. LVN A said she took Resident #1 to her room to further assess her and asked her again what happened. LVN A said she had also asked CNA B to take Resident #2 to his room, although his room was right next door to Resident #1 so they moved him across the hall to be able to watch him better and so he would be in an empty room. LVN A said she assessed Resident #1 further and asked her what happened but Resident #1 appeared to be ashamed and shut down, not talking. LVN A said she called the Administrator who was the Abuse Coordinator for the facility and then was told to call the police.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few told them Resident #2 came to her room before lunch and tried to touch her by pulling up her dress and touched her titties and kissed her and choked her. LVN A said the police officer asked Resident #1 if she ever lost consciousness and the resident said yes, and she had also screamed for help but then Resident #2 got up and ran out of the room. LVN A said Resident #1 continued by saying after dinner and in the TV room, Resident #2 came again and tried to pull her dress up again but she crossed her legs and did not let him go down there but he played with her titties again and tried to kiss her, but she fought him off. LVN A said Resident #1 explained Resident #2 began to suck on her neck and she pushed him away. LVN A said during the skin assessment she completed earlier there were no additional findings of an assault, physical or sexual that she could see. LVN A said Resident #1's neck had 4 places where there were bruises that looked like hickeys on one side of her neck and small circles on the other that were consistent with someone holding a person down. LVN A said Resident #1's story matched the injuries she sustained, and she had no history of making up stories. LVN A said she was not told about anything that happened during the previous shift around lunch time and since she was not there, she was not sure what happened. LVN A said she only knew of one other situation involving Resident #2 kissing a different female resident which was a long time ago. LVN A said after that situation happened, Resident #2 was put on every 15-minute checks until the psych provider could see him. LVN A said since then, Resident #2 never gave any indication he would do something like that again. LVN A said she was in-serviced and knew what to do in regard to identifying, reporting, stopping sexual or physical behaviors from residents towards others, supervising residents at all times but especially in common areas, and what the types and signs of abuse were , who and when to report abuse. Interview on 06/19/25 at 3:44 PM with the ADON revealed yesterday (06/18/25) evening, after dinner, CNA B noticed some bruising to Resident #1's neck and alerted LVN A. The ADON said LVN A assessed Resident #1 and after explaining what happened to her, the nurse alerted the Abuse Coordinator who was the Administrator. The ADON said Resident #1 told LVN A Resident #2 put his hands on her neck and sucked on her neck and was inappropriate with her. The ADON said Resident #2 was placed on every 15-minute checks and once they secured a staff member they sat with him one-on-one until he discharged from the facility. The ADON said Resident #2 was discharged today (06/19/25). The ADON said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for an evaluation, both residents' families were notified, and the MD was also notified. The ADON said she herself saw Resident #1's injuries when she came back from the hospital today and noticed there were red dime-sized marks on her neck that were not there before. The ADON said she was not sure if the injuries were the result of Resident #2 sucking or choking on Resident #1's neck. The ADON said Resident #2 was involved in another incident with a different resident last year in either September or October where he kissed a resident. The ADON said after that happened, Resident #2 was placed on every 15-minute checks until the psych provider could see him. The ADON said the facility took the same approach with the situation that happened with Resident #1, except he was also placed on one-to-one until he discharged . The ADON said when she asked Resident #2 what happened, he could not recall anything but that was normal for him. The ADON said she did not have the opportunity to talk to Resident #1 about what happened. The ADON said the facility also in-serviced all staff regarding abuse/neglect, resident-to-resident altercations, and sexual behaviors. The ADON said she was on the unit yesterday (06/18/25) during the lunch meal service around 11:15 AM or 11:30 AM and never saw Resident #2 out of his room nor did she see Residents #1 and #2 together at any point. The ADON said Resident #2 was discharged to a sister facility that had an all-male secured unit and the family was agreeable to the move.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few reported CNA B went to get Resident #1 out of the TV room and noticed marks to her neck. The DON said LVN A asked Resident #1 who did that to her neck and the resident pointed to Resident #2. The DON said the staff on duty automatically separated the two residents and staff began arranging for Resident #2 to be placed on one-on-one. The DON said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital, but they could not conduct a rape kit because there was only evidence of a physical assault, not a sexual assault. The DON said Resident #1 told staff he grabbed her neck and touched her, he tried to kiss her on her neck, he sucked on her titties, he had tried to screw [her], he tried to pull her diaper to the side and get on top of her but the resident crossed her legs and he left out of the room. The DON said she asked Resident #1 what he looked like, and she said the man was white with grey hair and a beard which matched Resident #2's description. The DON said Resident #3 was also in the room, but he was not a reliable witness as he was not interviewable due to his condition. The DON said Resident #1's injuries were to both the right and left sides of her neck and on the front too. The DON said Resident #1's injuries looked like one side was where she was choked and the other was where she had been sucked on causing the hickeys. The DON said she was not sure if that was exactly what happened but that was what it sort of looked like. The DON said she always saw Resident #2 in his bed in his room and since she had only been there for about 4 months, she was not aware of the prior incident where he had kissed another resident months ago. The DON said she believed Resident #1 had her times mixed up as to when the lunch incident happened because the ADON, a housekeeper, and a therapist were there around the same time as the nurse and aide as well and none of the staff saw the residents interacting in any way. The DON said she thought the earlier incident happened before dinner, if it happened at all. The DON said Resident #2 had to be discharged because of the extent of him violating Resident #1's privacy and attacking her. The DON said the facility also in-serviced all staff regarding abuse/neglect, resident-to-resident altercations, and sexual behaviors. The DON said what Resident #2 did to Resident #1 was considered abuse. Interview on 06/19/25 at 4:43 PM with the Administrator revealed she was on her way home yesterday (06/18/25) when she got a call from LVN A saying CNA B came in from smoking the residents and started doing her rounds to get everyone cleaned up. The Administrator said CNA B took Resident #1 from the TV room and noticed she had bruising to her neck, so she called LVN A over to assess the resident. The Administrator said LVN A and CNA B took Resident #1 to the dining room and asked her what happened to which they were told Resident #2 sucked on her. The Administrator said Residents #1, #2 and #3 were in the TV room together which was normal for them to be in that room after dinner together as it's a common area. The Administrator said due to Resident #3's condition he was not able to be interviewed or recall anything that happened. The Administrator said after Resident #1 identified Resident #2 as the Alleged Perpetrator, the staff started him on every 15-minute checks while the ADON tried to find staff to sit with him one-on-one until he could be discharged . The Administrator said LVN A called the doctor to let them know what happened and sent Resident #1 to the hospital to be further evaluated. The Administrator said LVN A also called the police department, and an officer arrived at the facility. The Administrator said the police officer explained there was no signs of a sexual assault, only a physical assault. The Administrator said the hospital explained since there was no penetration they would not be able to complete a rape kit exam. The Administrator said Resident #1 returned to the facility this morning around 9 AM while the facility was working on transferring Resident #2 out of the facility. The Administrator said she was sent pictures by LVN A of Resident #1's injuries and saw it looked like she had hickeys on her neck. The Administrator said she believed Resident #1 had her times mixed up and the lunch incident did not happen at that time but might have happened before dinner instead.

F 0600 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Few said she was on the unit a lot yesterday (06/18/25) and never saw anything that seemed unusual between Residents #1 and #2.

The Administrator said all staff were responsible for ensuring residents were free from abuse. The Administrator said if Resident #2's actions were intentional this situation would be considered a form of abuse. The Administrator said if residents were not free from abuse that could cause some type of harm to them either emotionally or physically.
