Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Deficiencies
Harm Level: Potential for More Than Minimal Harm

F 0609 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on

interview and record review, the facility did not ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment are reported immediately, but no later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the events that cause the allegation involve abuse to the appropriate agencies for 1 of 1 abuse allegations involving a resident (Resident R1).On 11/6/25, an allegation of sexual abuse toward Resident R1 from a staff member was reported to the facility and the facility did not report the allegation of abuse to the State Agency.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. Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. She 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 Resident R1. Resident R1 alleged that a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), described as bald, brown-skinned man with a black beard was assisted [sic] her after dinner one evening. Resident R1 stated she was naked in the tub and the male nurse was washing only her breasts. Resident R1 stated

the CNA did not touch any other area of her body, only her breasts, then left the room. On 11/13/25 at 1:08 PM, Surveyor interviewed NHA A (Nursing Home Administrator) and DON B (Director of Nursing). DON B stated that because the allegation came in nearly a month after Resident R1 discharged from the facility, had only one bath with a male CNA on 9/23/25 and no person perfectly fit the description of the alleged perpetrator,

she and NHA A did not feel they could do anything about it. NHA A stated that, in hindsight, the facility should have reported the incident to the State Agency.

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. Resident R1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE REDACTED]. Resident 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 Resident R1.

they did not interview or assess other residents to ensure other residents' safety. NHA A stated that, in hindsight, the facility should have reported the incident to the State Agency and questioned staff and residents.
