NHA A stated that, in hindsight, the facility should have reported the incident to the State Agency.

NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment are thoroughly investigated for 1 of 3 residents (R1) reviewed for abuse. On 11/6/25, an allegation of sexual abuse toward R1 from a staff member was reported to the facility and the facility did not investigate the allegation.
The facility's abuse policy states, in part:*An immediate investigation is warranted when suspicion of abuse, neglect or exploitation, or reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation occur.*The facility will have written procedures that include: reporting of all alleged violations to the administrator, state agency, adult protective services and to all other required agencies (e.g., law enforcement when applicable) within specified timeframes: a.) Immediately, but no later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the events that cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or b.) Not later than 24 hours if the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury.* The facility will make efforts to ensure all residents are protected from physical and psychosocial harm, as well as additional abuse, during and after the investigation.
Examples include but are not limited to: increased supervision, room or staffing changes, and protection from retaliation. R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R1 discharged from the facility on 10/14/25. On 11/6/25, the facility received an allegation of sexual abuse from an outside agency providing care to R1.

On 11/13/25 at 1:08 PM, Surveyor interviewed NHA A (Nursing Home Administrator) and DON B (Director of Nursing).
