Regency at Whitmore Lake: Sexual Behavior Investigation Gaps - MI

Healthcare Facility
Regency At Whitmore Lake
Whitmore Lake, MI  ·  1/5 stars

The licensed nursing administrator, identified in the inspection report as LNA A, told the inspector that Resident 2 had kissed Residents 1 and 3. She said she did not interview the residents living on the hall where the incidents occurred, explaining she would have had to interview everyone because Resident 2 walked throughout the whole facility. She did not interview staff working in the area on the dates the incidents took place, either.

When the inspector asked whether interdisciplinary team meetings had been held and documented, LNA A said the team discussed the incidents but that nothing was written down anywhere.

LNA A said she did not view Resident 2 kissing the other residents as inappropriate behavior, describing it as "more of an affectionate thing" because Resident 2 "did not latch onto" the other residents.

The facility's response consisted of removing Resident 2 from the memory care unit, referring her to psychiatric services, and designating a social worker as the key person to oversee the situation. LNA A said one-on-one supervision was added to the care plan based on Resident 2's behavior. She said existing interventions were already working.

She could not say what would cause nursing staff to determine that one-on-one supervision was actually needed, only that if it were needed, a CNA would be pulled from providing care to other residents to fill that role.

The inspection, conducted August 28, 2025, was triggered by a complaint. CMS rated the harm level as minimal or potential for actual harm, with few residents affected. The investigation remained incomplete when inspectors arrived.

Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.

Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
