Inspection Findings
Review of an email communication from the administrator to the state agency on 11/20/25 at 8:44 A.M. and 8:55 A.M., showed she said the facility had a policy with a questionnaire that they would complete if they had two residents who wanted to engage or were attempting on multiple occasions to engage in sexual contact.
The facility would first contact resident families to make them aware and discuss the next steps.
Then, the facility would follow their capacity to consent policy, and the questionnaire would be completed by the social worker on both residents and would be scanned into the resident's electronic medical record. If both residents were deemed to have the capacity to consent, the facility would still call and speak with their power of attorney. If one or both residents were deemed incapable of consenting to sexual activity, then families would be notified, and interventions would be put into place to avoid those residents from attempting to do this.
The questionnaire was put into place about five years ago. In the situation with Resident #11 and Resident #7, BIMS scores (brief interview for mental status, an assessment of cognition function rated from a 0 to 15, where 0 - 7 is severe impairment) were assessed (Resident #11 with a three and Resident #7 unable to assess) to determine if they had the capacity to consent and to determine if the assessment needed to be initiated.
Since neither had the capacity to consent, the assessment form was not initiated, and an immediate discharge was determined as the remedy for Resident #11's inappropriate behaviors.
The facility has not had the occasion to put it into practice because they had not had residents express interest in being sexually active. #2658020
