F 0622 Attempts to contact Resident #1 on 05/28/24 and on 05/29/24 were unsuccessful. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Resident #2 no longer resided at the facility at the time of the investigation. Residents Affected - Few Review of Resident #1's progress notes dated 03/13/24 documented by the Social Worker revealed the following: LMSW was walking down the hallway and saw [Resident #1] rubbing the arm and shoulder of a female who is not able to consent. CNA staff moved the female resident away from [Resident #1] and he followed her over to the table she was sitting at. LMSW immediately told both the DON and Administrator of what was just witnessed. Administrator told LMSW to call the son of [Resident #1] to inform him he will be discharging immediately, and he will need to be picked up before 5pm or he will be taken to [hospital]. Son of [Resident #1] said that he would be up here soon. Review of Resident #1's progress notes dated 03/13/24 documented by the Administrator revealed the following: 03/13/24 Social Worker reported to administrator that [Resident #1], BIMS 15 of 15 was seen in what appeared to be 'inappropriate behavior' and touching between himself and [Resident #2]. [Resident #2] a female resident who tested 4 of 15 03/13/24. Due to [Resident #2] previous behaviors with this exact resident and others all involving resident who may not give informed consent, the facility had identified [Resident #1] an immediate threat to the safety of other female non- cognizant residents . Interview on 05/29/24 at 11:45 AM, the Social Worker revealed the day of the incident between Resident #1 and Resident #2, 03/13/24, state surveyors were in the building and Resident #1 was sitting by the nurse's station and saw him rub Resident #2's hand and went up to rub her shoulder. At that time the Social Worker went to get the Administrator and the DON and Resident #1, and Resident #2 were separated. Resident #1 was told that was inappropriate and the resident needed to keep his hands to himself and after that, the Administrator took over. The Social Worker said that in the past, Resident #1 had already been told to keep his hands to himself because he was touchy/feely with females. To her knowledge Resident #1 did not touch the females on their breast or vaginal area. Resident #1 got a 30 day discharge notice in November 2023 for going in and out of female resident rooms and would refuse to leave claiming he had the right to visit in there. The Social Worker further stated Resident #1 got an immediate discharge on [DATE] when he was seen feeling up Resident #1's arm. The police were called and had to escort Resident #1 out of the facility, during that incident, because Resident #1 became disruptive because he did not want to leave. Record review of an interview submitted via email received and dated 06/04/24, after surveyor exit, by the Social Worker revealed the following: On 03/13/24 I was walking down the 100 hallway and saw [Resident #1] take his hand and feel up [Resident #2's] up towards her chest.

F 0622 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Interview on 05/29/24 at 3:42 PM, the DON revealed the day Resident #1 was discharged from the facility, 03/13/24, State was in the building, and they were in the middle of an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ). Prior to the recent incident, 03/13/24, there had been two other reportable incidents where Resident #1 had been sexually inappropriate. Resident #1 and his family had been told that if Resident #1 continued to touch another resident, which did not have the ability to consent, the resident would be immediately discharged . During the incident on 03/13/24 she was in her office, and she saw Resident #1's hand going towards Resident #2's breast so she separated both the residents. The incident was reported the Administrator and the family picked the resident up and took him home. The DON said they had tried to discharge Resident #1 in the past, but they had lost the appeal. After the incidents related to the appeal, Resident #1 was being monitored because he continued to touch female residents. Because certain residents could not consent Resident #1 was told he could talk to those residents out in the open but could not go into their rooms. Because of the IJ they had gotten, the Administrator said Resident #1 had to be discharged immediately. Record review of an interview submitted via email received and dated 06/04/24, after surveyor exit, by the DON revealed the following : I was in my office which is directly across the Residents TV sitting area when the Social Worker came to my office stating [Resident #1] was rubbing up the arm of [Resident #2]. When I got out of my chair and around my desk [Resident #2's] hand was rubbing across her upper chest towards her breast. At the same time staff was separating him from her. Resident #1 is alert and oriented with history of sexual inappropriateness that had been involved in 2 previous self reports regarding this. [Resident #2] however had a low BIMS and was unable to give consent for a physical relationship. As you know surveyors were in our facility that very day 03/13/24 citing us for an IJ for NOT keeping resident safe from sexual inappropriateness. The immediate discharge was our only option to keep [Resident #2] and any other female resident safe. During our last survey on 05/30/24 we explained this situation to [Surveyor] very clearly several times. However, she chose to cite us based on her opinion instead of facts. Interview on 05/29/24 at 3:17 PM, the Administrator revealed there was a resident (Resident #2) who Resident #1 had previous interactions with when she stayed for a short respite stay that were not condoned by the facility when he kissed Resident #2. The second time Resident #2 was at the facility again for another respite stay Resident #1 was seen rubbing Resident #2's arm. There was another incident where Resident #1 entered a female resident's room and the resident refused to leave when he was asked but there was nothing inappropriate of sexual during that incident that he was aware of. Shortly after they had a care plan meeting with Resident #1 where he was told there were resident who could not give consent to touching and the resident said he understood. Resident #1 was given a 30 day discharge notice due to the incidents and the resident appealed the discharge and won. The Administrator said they were in the middle of an IJ with another resident with similar behaviors so that is why Resident #1 was given an immediate discharge. Interview on 05/29/24 at 10:51 AM, LVN A revealed Resident #1 did not have any behaviors during her shift and mainly visited with other residents at the tables in the activity or TV area.
