Record review

The communication care plan, revised 12/20/24, revealed Resident #9 had impaired cognition and communication deficits related to anoxic brain injuries.

Interventions included staff to ensure visits with the boyfriend happened in community areas and the boyfriend was not permitted to be in a room with the resident without staff or the resident's parents present.

-However, the intervention was not initiated until 4/18/25, six days after the alleged incident on 4/12/25.

The psychosocial well-being care plan, initiated 4/12/25 and revised 5/7/25, revealed Resident #9 had a potential for alteration to psychosocial well-being related to being a victim of alleged sexual abuse.

Interventions included monitoring and documenting the resident's verbal reactions to situations that may indicate her feelings, initiated 4/12/25.

Additional interventions , initiated on 5/7/25 (during the survey), included encouraging Resident #9 to participate in meaningful relationships.

The resident was in a romantic relationship prior to her accident and her family felt it was beneficial for her to maintain her relationship. If her boyfriend visited, they should meet in a common area or in the presence of the resident's parents.

The 5/7/25 interventions additionally included monitoring the resident's mood and behavior, providing opportunities for the resident and family to participate in care and the resident was assessed as not having the capacity to consent to sexual activity.

The trauma informed care plan, revised 11/1/24, revealed Resident #9 had a history of trauma that affected her negatively.

Interventions included that the resident's boyfriend was not allowed visitation. If he showed up at the facility, staff was to notify the police (initiated 5/7/25 and revised 5/13/25).

A sexual activity capacity for consent was completed on 4/14/25. It revealed Resident #9 had a history of anoxic brain injury, she was unable to communicate effectively, and she was unable to determine the level of cognitive status.

Due to the resident's inability to communicate effectively and describe her thoughts and feelings, the IDT determined the resident could not make or express her desire to engage in sexual intimacy with others.

-However, despite the determination that Resident #9 did not have the capacity to consent to sexual intimacy, the facility failed to put effective interventions in place to protect the resident from another alleged sexual incident with the boyfriend on 4/23/25 (see investigation above).
