Loft Rehab of Peoria: Sexual Assault of Vulnerable Resident - IL
The December 13 incident occurred when a certified nursing assistant turned the corner into the 200 Hall and discovered the male resident with "his penis out of his pants and touching in between [the female resident's] lips." The victim's mouth "is always open" due to her condition, the aide confirmed to inspectors.
The male resident "sat right down and buttoned his pants when he saw me," the nursing assistant told investigators.
Federal records show the facility knew the male resident required constant supervision. His psychiatric notes from December 15 documented that he had been prescribed carbamazepine specifically for hypersexual behaviors before admission, "however, staff report that it is ineffective." The notes stated he "currently requires one-on-one supervision due to his history of inappropriate sexual behaviors."
The female victim suffers from dementia and multiple other conditions including metabolic encephalopathy and failure to thrive. Her cognitive assessment shows she is "rarely/never understood" and "not able to be interviewed." When inspectors observed her on December 23, she "was not able to communicate and sat with her mouth open."
The facility's doctor confirmed to inspectors that "due to [the victim's] dementia, she is vulnerable and cannot defend herself."
Administrator interviews revealed systemic failures in the admission screening process. The Vice President of Business Development admitted there "were gaps in the front end and screening was worked through the case manager and not at bedside."
The administrator acknowledged that had the facility known about the resident's hospital behaviors, they "would have requested a deeper dive" and "would probably not accepted him for admission."
