SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
During an interview on 08/21/2025 at 11:57 AM, the DON stated that because of Resident #14’s stroke the resident cannot carry on a conversation. “We know [Resident #14] enough and have been around enough we can communicate with [Resident #14’s] wants and needs.” I have never seen it, but [Resident #14] likes to give oral sex. I don't know how many partners there have been. It has been reported to me about 4 different times, not oral sex just sitting on the front porch with residents.
This last incident someone caught [Resident #14] in the act.” The interventions are for Resident #14 to see mental health, get prior approval for a medication to and increase other medications.
This is to see if they will suppress hyper sexuality.
The facility staff talked to resident’s Representative in a care plan meeting, and it was determined not to be a new behavior.
During the care plan meeting the behavior was discussed. Resident #14’s representative gave consent, “well not really giving consent the [Representative] wishes the resident wouldn't do it. It is not my expectation the residents should have sex with employees.
During an interview on 08/21/2025 at 12:26 PM, the Administrator stated, Resident #14 had grabbed on female and male staff members and male residents. “[Resident #14] had several boyfriends we have had care plan meeting with family.
The DON had conversation about safe sexual activity, and I had a long conversation about it. We had mental health see the resident this week and they did some medication changes. We have to monitor and go forward. We have explained all the sexual activity consequences and STD issues to the resident. I don't have answers for why [Resident #14] wase not care planned for any of the sexual behaviors. I don't feel comfortable answering; it probably should have been. We don't have a policy and procedure on it. “We redirect [Resident #14] and tell the resident they shouldn't do that. I can't say for sure there were any interventions in place, there was nothing in place for a male not going in to [Resident #14’s] room alone.
During an interview on 08/21/2025 at 3:04 PM, the MDS Nurse explained the sexual activity was entered on the Care Plan. “It was located under the ADLs because it was [Resident #14] and another resident consenting. It was not considered a behavior and there were no interventions for sexual activity.
When something happens or gets reported we update the care plan at that time.”
