**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure residnets right to be free from abuse,
neglect, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation for one (Residnet #1) of eight residents

abuse after Resident #2 was discovered in her bed with his pants off and buttocks exposed, laying behind
her on 06/30/24.
The facility failed to put interventions in place to protect Resident #1 after allegations were made that
Resident #2 placed his penis in her mouth on 06/30/24.
An IJ was identified on 07/03/2024. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:32 PM. While

severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy
due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their plan of removal.
These failures could place all residents at risk for abuse and psychosocial harm.

In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 9:49 AM, the DON stated Resident #2 had no previous history of any
sexual behaviors. He said when LVN D called him on 06/30/2024 at about 9:30 AM to inform him that
Resident #2 had been found in bed with Resident #1, he wanted to find out whether Resident #1 invited
Resident #2 into her bed. He stated Residents #1 and #2 were friends and often watched television
together in the television room. The DON stated LVN D did not complete an incident report and he did not
immediately start an investigation about regarding the incident. The DON stated Resident #1 had a BIMS of
0 but that was related to her inability to speak clearly. He said Resident #1 was able to understand and
could give consent to a sexual act. He said when LVN D called him, he got on the phone with LVN D and
Resident #1, and Resident #1 was able to say some words and responded yes / friend when asked if she
wanted Resident #2 in her room. He said he did not ask if Resident #1 wanted Resident #1 in her bed with
her but did not feel the need to immediately investigate the incident further. He stated on 07/01/2024, he
asked the Social Worker and ADON A to speak to Resident #1. He said they completed a verbal BIMS
Assessment on Resident #1, which resulted in no score, which indicated severely cognitively impaired. He
said Resident #2 had a BIMS of 15 which indicated no cognitive impairment. He stated he and the
Administrator talked to Resident #2 and he denied any type of sexual inappropriate behavior. The DON said
he did not refer Resident #1 to the hospital for a SANE exam and did not contact the police.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 10:50 AM, Resident #2 stated, on 06/30/2024 at about 9:30 AM, he was
walking past Resident #1's room and she was in bed and waved him into her room. He said she waved at
everyone in that way, but he felt she wanted him to come in. He said he knew Resident #1 because they
occasionally watched television together in the day room. He said he did go into Resident #1's room
because he was looking for a blow job, [oral sex]. He said he took his pants off and got into bed with
Resident #1. He said when he was in bed with her, he started to feel bad and was about to get out of the
bed when CNA G entered the room and saw him in bed with Resident #1. He said CNA G did not say
anything and left the room and closed the door. He said he got up and put his pants on and heard CNA G
call for LVN D. Resident #2 said he left the room and returned to his room. He denied he had done this with
any other residents in the facility. Resident #2 said he did not place his penis in Resident #1's mouth and
denied any penetration of any kind. He stated the Administrator talked to him about the incident on
07/01/2024 and told him if this type of behavior happened again he would call the police.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 11:16 AM, CNA F said she heard from LVN D the Resident #2 was found
in Resident #1's room, with his penis in Resident #1's mouth on 06/30/2024. She stated that in a similar
incident involving different residents, a few years ago, the facility managers immediately sent the offending
resident out of the facility and called police. CNA F stated she felt that should have occurred this time but
had not. She said the Administrator and DON should have placed Resident #2 on some kind of supervision
while they investigated the incident to ensure the safety of all residents in the facility. She said if what she
heard was true, Resident #2 had access to Resident #1 and all other residents until today when he was
placed on 1:1 supervision. She said she has worked at the facility for 20 years and was familiar with the
facility's abuse policy because she received training on the policy almost weekly. She stated she did not
report the incident to the Abuse Coordinator and was not sure if LVN D reported it. She stated she
assumed it was reported.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:00 PM, the DON stated the alleged incident between Resident #1 and
Resident #2 was not discussed in the manager's stand-up meeting. He said not every manager needed to
know about every incident that occurred. He said after the stand-up meeting on 07/01/2024, the Social
Worker and ADON A interviewed Resident #1 and reported to him that Resident #1 answered no when
they asked if Resident #2 did anything to her. The DON

stated, [Resident #2] did not tell him any intentions to get oral sex from Resident #1. He stated at the time,
he did not feel there was any sexual abuse so there was no need to report to police or the state. He stated
he did not investigate further because he felt there was no evidence the incident was of a sexual nature and
therefore did not move Resident #2. He said, Looking back, we did not get the full truth from [Resident #2]
and [Resident #1's] BIMS does limit her ability to consent. He said, We should have called police to follow
up with a SANE exam and placed Resident #2 on 1:1 supervision to ensure all residents' safety. He stated
Resident #1 was sent to hospital, police have been called, Resident #2 was placed on 1:1 supervision, and
the incident was reported to state today.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Regional Director of Operations (RDO) stated the incident
between Residents #1 and #2 should have been thoroughly investigated. He said Resident #2 should have
been put on 1:1 supervision to ensure the safety of all residents, Resident #1 should have been sent to the
hospital for examination, law enforcement should have been called, the incident should have been reported
to the state agency, and a facility investigation started. He said based on Resident #1's BIMS, it was not
clear she could have consented to anything, and the facility's policy was in place to ensure the safety of all
residents during an investigation of any allegation of abuse. He stated, We should have confirmed what we
observed was what happened through investigation in order to ensure the safety of [Resident #1].
An observation and interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:40 PM revealed Resident #2 in his room sleeping on his
bed. CNA I was observed outside the room. CNA I stated she was directed to supervise Resident #2 and
document wherever he when in the facility.
In a telephone interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:54 PM, LVN D stated she was at the nurses' station on
06/30/2024 at about 9:30 AM, when CNA G called her to Resident #1's room. She stated when she went
down the hall she saw Resident #2 leaving Resident #1's room. CNA G told her she opened Resident #1's
room door and saw Resident #2 in bed with Resident #1. She stated Resident #1 was facing the wall and
Resident #2 was in the bed behind her also facing the wall. LVN D stated CNA G did not say she witnessed
Resident #2's penis in Resident #1's mouth. She said CNA G told her Resident #2 told her he was talking
to his friend. She said she observed Resident #2 with clothes on when he left Resident #1's room but did
not observe Resident #2 in the bed. LVN D said she observed Resident #1 in bed with her clothes on. LVN
D said she asked Resident #1 what happened, and Resident #1 only nodded no. She stated Resident #1
was not crying and did not appear in distress. She said Resident #1's brief was on and did not appear to be
tampered with. LVN D said she felt like Resident #1 could give consent but could not verbalize the consent.
LVN D said she could not be sure if she consented to any sexual act of to have Resident #2 in her bed. LVN
D said she called the DON when the incident occurred and was instructed to do an emotional assessment.
She stated she talked to Resident #1 and she seemed to have her normal demeanor. She did not appear to
be afraid and did not behave differently from how she normally did. She said she did not document any
assessment of Resident #1 and did not complete an incident report, she said she did not know why she did
not document the incident. She said Resident #2 was not on 1:1 watch at the time of the incident on
06/30/2024 but looking back believed he should have been to ensure the safety of all residents while the
incident was investigated. She said Resident #1 should have been sent out for a SANE exam rather than
assuming nothing happened.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:17 PM, ADON A stated she became aware of the incident between
Residents #1 and #2 on 07/01/2024 when the DON asked her and the Social Worker to talk to Resident #1
about the Resident #2 being in her bed. She said they tried to assess Resident #1's ability to consent and
her cognitive ability. ADON A stated Resident #1's competency level was very low, and she would not
answer any of the BIMS questions. ADON A said she did not feel that Resident #1 had the

capacity to invite Resident #2 into her bed. She said she told the DON Resident #1 did not seem like she
was able to consent to anything. ADON A said she did not know where the incident investigation went from
there but Resident #2 was not on any kind of supervision until 07/03/2024 when the State Surveyor started
asking questions about the Incident. She said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for a SANE exam and
the police were called earlier today as well.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:31 PM, the Social Worker stated Resident #1 was not able to point to
correct answers for any of the BIMS Assessment questions. She said Resident #1 was severely cognitively
impaired and did not believe she had any capacity to concert to Resident #2's alleged actions. She said she
shared this information with the DON and did not hear anything else about the incident. She stated
Resident #1 should have been sent to the hospital for SANE exam and police notified. She said Resident
#2 should have been placed on 1:1 to ensure all residents' safety.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:49 PM, LVN C stated CNA F told her that LVN D told her that Resident
#2 was found with his penis in Resident #1's mouth. She said she did not ask CNA F if the incident was
reported to the Administrator and said she did not report it either. She stated she assumed the issue had
been addressed and reported to the Abuse Coordinator. LVN C said she had worked in the facility about a
year and was regularly in-serviced on abuse policy. She said she did not recall when the last in-service
was.

clothes on but did see Resident #2's bare butt sticking out of the covers. She stated she did not know if
Resident #2 had his pants all the way off or just around his ankles. CNA G said she left the room and called
for LVN D. She stated LVN D came down the hall within a few seconds and Resident #2 opened Resident
#1's room door and went across the hall to his room. She said LVN D called the DON and they talked to
Resident #1 over the phone. She said she did not report the incident because LVN D had called the DON
and she assumed they were addressing the issue. She said she had never seen Resident #2 display any
type of sexual inappropriate behavior in the past. She stated LVN D did not send Resident #1 to the
hospital and Resident #2 was not placed on 1:1 supervision. She said when she returned to work on

CNA G said she did not see Resident #2's penis in Resident #1's mouth when she entered the room on
06/30/2024.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 4:50 PM, Law Enforcement Officer #4664 stated she was called today to
respond to allegations of sexual assault. She said since the incident occurred on 06/30/2024, the facility
should have called then and sent Resident #1 to the hospital for a SANE exam. She said the facility told her
they sent Resident #1 to the hospital today.

phone with LVN D and Resident #1, and Resident #1 was able to say some words and responded yes /
friend when asked if she wanted Resident #2 in her room. He said he did not ask if Resident #1 wanted
Resident #1 in her bed with her but did not feel the need to immediately investigate the incident further. He
stated on 07/01/2024, he asked the Social Worker and ADON A to speak to Resident #1. He said they
completed a verbal BIMS Assessment on Resident #1, which resulted in no score, which indicated severely
cognitively impaired. He said Resident #2 had a BIMS of 15 which indicated no cognitive impairment. He
stated he and the Administrator talked to Resident #2 and he denied any type of sexual inappropriate
behavior. The DON said he did not refer Resident #1 to the hospital for a SANE exam and did not contact
the police.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 10:50 AM, Resident #2 stated, on 06/30/2024 at about 9:30 AM, he was
walking past Resident #1's room and she was in bed and waved him into her room. He said she waved at
everyone in that way, but he felt she wanted him to come in. He said he knew Resident #1 because they
occasionally watched television together in the day room. He said he did go into Resident #1's room
because he was looking for a blow job, [oral sex]. He said he took his pants off and got into bed with
Resident #1. He said when he was in bed with her, he started to feel bad and was about to get out of the
bed when CNA G entered the room and saw him in bed with Resident #1. He said CNA G did not say
anything and left the room and closed the door. He said he got up and put his pants on and heard CNA G
call for LVN D. Resident #2 said he left the room and returned to his room. He denied he had done this with
any other residents in the facility. Resident #2 said he did not place his penis in Resident #1's mouth and
denied any penetration of any kind. He stated the Administrator talked to him about the incident on
07/01/2024 and told him if this type of behavior happened again he would call the police.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 11:16 AM, CNA F said she heard from LVN D the Resident #2 was found
in Resident #1's room, with his penis in Resident #1's mouth on 06/30/2024. She stated that in a similar
incident involving different residents, a few years ago, the facility managers immediately sent the offending
resident out of the facility and called police. CNA F stated she felt that should have occurred this time but
had not. She said the Administrator and DON should have placed Resident #2 on some kind of supervision
while they investigated the incident to ensure the safety of all residents in the facility. She said if what she
heard was true, Resident #2 had access to Resident #1 and all other residents until today when he was
placed on 1:1 supervision. She said she has worked at the facility for 20 years and was familiar with the
facility's abuse policy because she received training on the policy almost weekly. She stated she did not
report the incident to the Abuse Coordinator and was not sure if LVN D reported it. She stated she
assumed it was reported.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:00 PM, the DON stated the alleged incident between Resident #1 and
Resident #2 was not discussed in the manager's stand-up meeting. He said not every manager needed to
know about every incident that occurred. He said after the stand-up meeting on 07/01/2024, the Social
Worker and ADON A interviewed Resident #1 and reported to him that Resident #1 answered no when
they asked if Resident #2 did anything to her. The DON stated, [Resident #2] did not tell him any intentions
to get oral sex from Resident #1. He stated at the time, he did not feel there was any sexual abuse so there
was no need to report to police or the state. He stated he did not investigate further because he felt there
was no evidence the incident was of a sexual nature and therefore did not move Resident #2. He said,
Looking back, we did not get the full truth from [Resident #2] and [Resident #1's] BIMS does limit her ability
to consent. He said, We should have called police to follow up with a SANE exam and placed Resident #2
on 1:1 supervision to ensure all residents' safety. He stated Resident #1 was sent to hospital, police have
been called, Resident #2 was placed on 1:1 supervision, and the incident was reported to state today.

In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Regional Director of Operations (RDO) stated the incident
between Residents #1 and #2 should have been thoroughly investigated. He said Resident #2 should have
been put on 1:1 supervision to ensure the safety of all residents, Resident #1 should have been sent to the
hospital for examination, law enforcement should have been called, the incident should have been reported
to the state agency, and a facility investigation started. He said based on Resident #1's BIMS, it was not
clear she could have consented to anything, and the facility's policy was in place to ensure the safety of all
residents during an investigation of any allegation of abuse. He stated, We should have confirmed what we
observed was what happened through investigation in order to ensure the safety of [Resident #1].
An observation and interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:40 PM revealed Resident #2 in his room sleeping on his
bed. CNA I was observed outside the room. CNA I stated she was directed to supervise Resident #2 and

room door and saw Resident #2 in bed with Resident #1. She stated Resident #1 was facing the wall and
Resident #2 was in the bed behind her also facing the wall. LVN D stated CNA G did not say she witnessed
Resident #2's penis in Resident #1's mouth. She said CNA G told her Resident #2 told her he was talking
to his friend. She said she observed Resident #2 with clothes on when he left Resident #1's room but did
not observe Resident #2 in the bed. LVN D said she observed Resident #1 in bed with her clothes on. LVN
D said she asked Resident #1 what happened, and Resident #1 only nodded no. She stated Resident #1
was not crying and did not appear in distress. She said Resident #1's brief was on and did not appear to be
tampered with. LVN D said she felt like Resident #1 could give consent but could not verbalize the consent.
LVN D said she could not be sure if she consented to any sexual act of to have Resident #2 in her bed. LVN
D said she called the DON when the incident occurred and was instructed to do an emotional assessment.
She stated she talked to Resident #1 and she seemed to have her normal demeanor. She did not appear to
be afraid and did not behave differently from how she normally did. She said she did not document any
assessment of Resident #1 and did not complete an incident report, she said she did not know why she did
not document the incident. She said Resident #2 was not on 1:1 watch at the time of the incident on
06/30/2024 but looking back believed he should have been to ensure the safety of all residents while the
incident was investigated. She said Resident #1 should have been sent out for a SANE exam rather than
assuming nothing happened.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:17 PM, ADON A stated she became aware of the incident between
Residents #1 and #2 on 07/01/2024 when the DON asked her and the Social Worker to talk to Resident #1
about the Resident #2 being in her bed. She said they tried to assess Resident #1's ability to consent and
her cognitive ability. ADON A stated Resident #1's competency level was very low, and she would not
answer any of the BIMS questions. ADON A said she did not feel that Resident #1 had the capacity to invite
Resident #2 into her bed. She said she told the DON Resident #1 did not seem like she was able to
consent to anything. ADON A said she did not know where the incident investigation went from there but
Resident #2 was not on any kind of supervision until 07/03/2024 when the State Surveyor started asking
questions about the Incident. She said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for a SANE exam and the
police were called earlier today as well.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:31 PM, the Social Worker stated Resident #1 was not able to point to

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have evidence that all alleged violations were
thoroughly investigated and prevent further potential abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment while the
investigation is in progress for one (Resident #1) of eight residents reviewed for abuse.

suspected sexual assault when Resident #2 was found in Resident #1's bed on 06/30/2024. The facility did
not provide notification and information to the proper authorities according to state and federal regulations.
An IJ was identified on 07/03/2024. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:32 PM. While
the IJ was removed on 07/04/2024, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated and a

Intervention: Discussed a recent incident in which the pt was discovered in a female resident's room with
his pants removed. Utilized open-ended questioning to investigate patient's version of events and potential
precipitating factors. Identified inappropriate sexual behavior and processed patient's feelings of guilt and
shame. Provided psychoeducation in the importance of maintaining boundaries to protect his own safety
and the safety of others. Response to Intervention: Saw pt in a private area to discuss a recent incidence of
sexual misconduct. Pt presented as anxious with a blunted affect. He was fully cooperative and expressed
remorse regarding his behavior. Pt admitted to entering the female resident's room and removing his pants.
He vehemently asserted that there was no sexual conduct during the encounter. Pt claimed that he was
walking by the room when he heard a voice call his name. Pt indicated that he was aware that the female
resident in question was nonverbal and hypothesized that the voice was a hallucination. In response to the
voice, he entered the female resident's room. Pt alleged that the female resident made sexual advances
after he entered the room (touched his leg, moved her head toward his groin area). He stated that he
removed his pants because the female resident indicated her intention to provide oral sex. Pt then stated
that he changed his mind prior to sexual contact and was attempting to pull up his pants when a staff
member discovered him. Pt responded positively to therapeutic interventions and admitted that his behavior
was inappropriate. He said that he felt guilty about the entire incident and said that he intended no harm. Pt
was also receptive to psychoeducation on maintaining boundaries and stated that he would not enter a
female's room again. Pt demonstrated understanding of the importance of boundaries in maintaining his
safety and the safety of others.

together in the television room. The DON stated LVN D did not complete an incident report and he did not
immediately start an investigation about regarding the incident. The DON stated Resident #1 had a BIMS of
0 but that was related to her inability to speak clearly. He said Resident #1 was able to understand and
could give consent to a sexual act. He said when LVN D called him, he got on the phone with LVN D and
Resident #1, and Resident #1 was able to say some words and responded yes / friend when asked if she
wanted Resident #2 in her room. He said he did not ask if Resident #1 wanted Resident #1 in her bed with

further. He stated on 07/01/2024, he asked the Social Worker and ADON A to speak to Resident #1. He
said they completed a verbal BIMS Assessment on Resident #1, which resulted in no score, which
indicated severely cognitively impaired. He said Resident #2 had a BIMS of 15 which indicated no cognitive
impairment. He stated he and the Administrator talked to Resident #2 and he denied any type of sexual
inappropriate behavior. The DON said he did not refer Resident #1 to the hospital for a SANE exam and did
not contact the police.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 10:50 AM, Resident #2 stated, on 06/30/2024 at about 9:30 AM, he was
walking past Resident #1's room and she was in bed and waved him into her room. He said she waved at
everyone in that way, but he felt she wanted him to come in. He said he knew Resident #1 because they
occasionally watched television together in the day room. He said he did go into Resident #1's room
because he was looking for a blow job, [oral sex]. He said he took his pants off and got into bed with
Resident #1. He said when he was in bed with her, he started to feel bad and was about to get out of the
bed when CNA G entered the room and saw him in bed with Resident #1. He said CNA G did not say
anything and left the room and closed the door. He said he got up and put his pants on and heard CNA G
call for LVN D. Resident #2 said he left the room and returned to his room. He denied he had done this with
any other residents in the facility. Resident #2 said he did not place his penis in Resident #1's mouth and
denied any penetration of any kind. He stated the Administrator talked to him about the incident on
07/01/2024 and told him if this type of behavior happened again he would call the police.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 11:16 AM, CNA F said she heard from LVN D the Resident #2 was found
in Resident #1's room, with his penis in Resident #1's mouth on 06/30/2024. She stated that in a similar
incident involving different residents, a few years ago, the facility managers immediately sent the offending
resident out of the facility and called police. CNA F stated she felt that should have occurred this time but
had not. She said the Administrator and DON should have placed Resident #2 on some kind of supervision
while they investigated the incident to ensure the safety of all residents in the facility. She said if what she
heard was true, Resident #2 had access to Resident #1 and all other residents until today when he was
placed on 1:1 supervision. She said she has worked at the facility for 20 years and was familiar with the
facility's abuse policy because she received training on the policy almost weekly. She stated she did not
report the incident to the Abuse Coordinator and was not sure if LVN D reported it. She stated she
assumed it was reported.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:00 PM, the DON stated the alleged incident between Resident #1 and
Resident #2 was not discussed in the manager's stand-up meeting. He said not every manager needed to
know about every incident that occurred. He said after the stand-up meeting on 07/01/2024, the Social
Worker and ADON A interviewed Resident #1 and reported to him that Resident #1 answered no when
they asked if Resident #2 did anything to her. The DON stated, [Resident #2] did not tell him any intentions
to get oral sex from Resident #1. He stated at the time, he did not feel there was any sexual abuse so there
was no need to report to police or the state. He stated he did not investigate further because he felt there
was no evidence the incident was of a sexual nature and therefore did not move Resident #2. He said,
Looking back, we did not get the full truth from [Resident #2] and [Resident #1's] BIMS does limit her ability
to consent. He said, We should have called police to follow up with a SANE exam and placed Resident #2
on 1:1 supervision to ensure all residents' safety. He stated Resident #1 was sent to hospital, police have
been called, Resident #2 was placed on 1:1 supervision, and the incident was reported to state today.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 12:10 PM, the Regional Director of Operations (RDO) stated the incident
between Residents #1 and #2 should have been thoroughly investigated. He said Resident #2

should have been put on 1:1 supervision to ensure the safety of all residents, Resident #1 should have
been sent to the hospital for examination, law enforcement should have been called, the incident should
have been reported to the state agency, and a facility investigation started. He said based on Resident #1's
BIMS, it was not clear she could have consented to anything, and the facility's policy was in place to ensure
the safety of all residents during an investigation of any allegation of abuse. He stated, We should have
confirmed what we observed was what happened through investigation in order to ensure the safety of
[Resident #1].

bed. CNA I was observed outside the room. CNA I stated she was directed to supervise Resident #2 and

not observe Resident #2 in the bed. LVN D said she observed Resident #1 in bed with her clothes on. LVN
D said she asked Resident #1 what happened, and Resident #1 only nodded no. She stated Resident #1
was not crying and did not appear in distress. She said Resident #1's brief was on and did not appear to be
tampered with. LVN D said she felt like Resident #1 could give consent but could not verbalize the consent.
LVN D said she could not be sure if she consented to any sexual act of to have Resident #2 in her bed. LVN
D said she called the DON when the incident occurred and was instructed to do an emotional assessment.
She stated she talked to Resident #1 and she seemed to have her normal demeanor. She did not appear to
be afraid and did not behave differently from how she normally did. She said she did not document any
assessment of Resident #1 and did not complete an incident report, she said she did not know why she did
not document the incident. She said Resident #2 was not on 1:1 watch at the time of the incident on
06/30/2024 but looking back believed he should have been to ensure the safety of all residents while the
incident was investigated. She said Resident #1 should have been sent out for a SANE exam rather than
assuming nothing happened.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:17 PM, ADON A stated she became aware of the incident between
Residents #1 and #2 on 07/01/2024 when the DON asked her and the Social Worker to talk to Resident #1
about the Resident #2 being in her bed. She said they tried to assess Resident #1's ability to consent and
her cognitive ability. ADON A stated Resident #1's competency level was very low, and she would not
answer any of the BIMS questions. ADON A said she did not feel that Resident #1 had the capacity to invite
Resident #2 into her bed. She said she told the DON Resident #1 did not seem like she was able to
consent to anything. ADON A said she did not know where the incident investigation went from there but
Resident #2 was not on any kind of supervision until 07/03/2024 when the State Surveyor started asking
questions about the Incident. She said Resident #1 was sent to the hospital for a SANE exam and the
police were called earlier today as well.
In an interview on 07/03/2024 at 1:31 PM, the Social Worker stated Resident #1 was not able to point to
correct answers for any of the BIMS Assessment questions. She said Resident #1 was severely cognitively
impaired and did not believe she had any capacity to concert to Resident #2's alleged actions. She said she
shared this information with the DON and did not hear anything else about the incident. She stated
Resident #1 should have been sent to the hospital for SANE exam and police notified.
