inappropriate behavior with staff. Upon approach Resident #2 was alert and oriented. Informed Resident #2
why and what I was there to discuss. Resident #2 stated again. Informed Resident #2 that any form of
sexual behavior such as making sexual comments, touching or grabbing is unacceptable and that it will not
be tolerated. Informed Resident #2 that his increase in this sexual behavior had been discussed with his
daughter in the special care plan last week and consideration for other placement had been discussed if
the behavior did not cease. Resident #2 stated I'll behave. Asked Resident #2 if he was aware of his
behavior as being inappropriate. He reported that that he just likes to have fun. Allowed Resident #2 to

Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to implement its' written policies
and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #2) reviewed for abuse.
Residents Affected - Few
-the facility was made aware of an allegation that Resident #2 was struck by a staff person but failed to
report the allegation to State in a timely manner.
The facility's failure to ensure suspicions of abuse/neglect were investigated and report to State could place
all residents at risk for poor self-esteem, poor self-worth, neglect, abuse, misappropriation of property and
continued contact with the perpetrator of the abuse.
The evidence is as follows:
Record review of internal investigation for the incident involving Resident #2 revealed an allegation of
Resident Abuse occurring on 6/6/23. A written statement dated 6/6/23, by LVN A and RN documented that
on 6/6/23 Resident #2 grabbed LVN A's breast. LVN A pushed Resident #2's hand away and slapped his
left arm saying in a firm voice Don't do that!.
During an interview on 6/13/23 at 8:30 AM, the Administrator stated she was aware of the incident related
to Resident #2 and was told by her corporate office that she did not need to report it to the State office as it
was not a reportable offense. The Administrator stated the facility suspended LVN A while they did an
internal investigation and LVN A returned to the facility that afternoon to finish her shift upon the facility
findings of their investigation.
Record review reveals a facility copy of Resident Abuse Policy dated 2020, documented the following:
Policy Statement:
It is the responsibility of our facility employees/associates, consultants, attendings physicians, family
members, visitors, etc., to promptly report any incident of suspected neglect or resident abuse, including
injuries of an unknown source, and theft or misappropriate of resident property to facility management.
