SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
and I really don't think she has the ability to consent.
There is always potential for psychosocial harm with sexual abuse because that is a violation of personal space and overall safety.On 10/17/25 at 8:30 AM, V6 stated when she found R3 in R2's room, he was not in the bed with her but looked like he was going to get in the bed his with her. R3's pants were pulled down and he had shaving cream on his hands. R2 was wearing a brief and gown, but her blanket was pulled back. V6 notified V2. On 10/16/25 at 3:14 PM, V1 stated on 10/6/25 V6 was rounding and saw R3 in R2's room.
Someone said R3 had shaving cream in there.
When V1 went to R2's room, R2 was lying in bed on her left side curled up in a ball.
She was not wearing a brief because she was in bed and sometimes they just put the incontinent pad underneath them.
Due to fact R3 attempted, we contacted V26 who ordered him to go to the hospital. We wanted to find a (different) Facility for R3, because usually if they do it once they are going to do it again.
Allegations of abuse should be reported immediately and residents should be separated to make sure they are safe.
