Inspection Findings
Based on record review and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly investigate an allegation of abuse.
This deficient practice was identified for 1 out of 1 facility-reported incidents reviewed during the annual survey.The findings include:On 11/19/2025 at 2:59 PM, this surveyor reviewed the facility-reported incident investigation regarding an allegation of sexual abuse involving Resident #101 and housekeeping staff member #19.
The resident reported that the staff member had touched him/her inappropriately.
Review of the file showed that during the investigation only residents on the Arcadia Unit were interviewed, and only female residents were included.
There was no documentation that male residents or residents on other units were interviewed or observed for potential signs of abuse.On 11/20/2025 at 10:25 AM, this surveyor interviewed the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) regarding the scope of the investigation.
During the interview, it was confirmed that the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #17 who conducted the investigation interviewed only female residents.
The DON explained this was done because the alleged employee was located on the female side of the unit at the time of the alleged incident.It was discussed with the DON and ADON that this approach was insufficient because the employee had clocked in earlier that morning (at 8:23am) and could have had access to male residents prior to the alleged incident time (approximately 9:30am).
Additionally, it was discussed that the employee was not permanently assigned to the Arcadia Unit and worked on other floors, giving access to other residents throughout the facility.Since the investigation did not include interviews or observations of male residents or residents on other units, the facility did not ensure that all potentially affected residents were assessed for signs or symptoms of abuse and therefore did not conduct a thorough investigation.
The DON and ADON acknowledged that male residents were also at risk for sexual abuse and recognized the concern raised by this surveyor.
