The SW stated Resident #1 was a young man and nice and it is not appropriate for her to say those things to him. The SW stated Resident #1 did have mild distress during her assessment and he did have worry there were times she was coming on to him but nothing physical ever happened, so he laughed it off as a joke.

The SW stated she advised Resident #1 he did not do anything wrong and provided reassurance. She stated at the time Resident #1 did not have any injuries, no behavior changes. She stated it was the expectation for all staff that if they witnessed or heard of alleged abuse, sexual harassment or physical abuse that it should be reported immediately and on that shift. She stated a potential negative outcome of it going unreported would be the abuse or harassment could continue and other residents would be at risk from that employee. She went on to say that for the witness the person that did not report becomes liable as well. The SW stated CNA B stated she did not report the incident due to being threatened by CNA A.

In an interview on 01/21/26 at 12:17 PM with the SW, she stated she first learned of the incident involving Resident #1 after the DON went to her and instructed her she needed to complete a mental distress assessment for Resident #1. The SW stated Resident #1 reported to her, CNA A made inappropriate comments to him and asked if he was in a relationship and then said to Resident #1 if you ever get out of here come see me and provided her address. The SW stated Resident #1 was a young man and nice and it is not appropriate for her to say those things to him. The SW stated Resident #1 did have mild distress during her assessment and he did have worry there were times she was coming on to him but nothing physical ever happened, so he laughed it off as a joke. The SW stated Resident #1 expressed he did not want what happened to disrupt his placement at the facility. The SW stated she advised Resident #1 he did not do anything wrong and provided reassurance. She stated at the time Resident #1 did not have any injuries, no behavior changes. She stated it was the expectation for all staff that if they witnessed or heard of alleged abuse, sexual harassment or physical abuse that it should be reported immediately and on that shift. She stated a potential negative outcome of it going unreported would be the abuse or harassment could continue and other residents would be at risk from that employee. She went on to say that for the witness the person that did not report becomes liable as well. The SW stated CNA B stated she did not report the incident due to being threatened by CNA A.
