(R1) then went to the dining room and waited for staff to be engaged with other residents and ran out the front door. Door alarm sounded. Staff did not immediately respond to alarm. Once alarm was deactivated, staff failed to search area or call for a head count. (R1) went to a previous place of residence approximately 2 1/2 blocks from the facility. We (the facility) were notified that (R1) was at the house area by the house staff. The facility staff immediately went to the house area and brought (R1) back to the facility.V4/CNAs Corrective Action Form, dated 7/7/26, documents Date of Incident: 7/1/26. Description of Incident: Negligence or any careless action which endangers the health, life or safety of another person. Per corporate you are being terminated from our employment.V5/CNAs Corrective Action Form, dated 7/7/26, documents Date of Incident: 7/1/26. Description of Incident: Negligence or any careless action which endangers the health, life or safety of another person. Per corporate you are being terminated from our employment.R1's Medical Records did not include evidence of staff checking R1's wander guard function or placement from 6/5/26 through 7/1/26.Map [NAME] documents an approximately 20-minute walk from the facility to the local group home (where R1 was located).The Weather Underground Report, dated 7/1/26, documents on 7/1/26 at 11:35 AM the outside temperature was 86 degrees F with 67 percent humidity, which translates to 95 degrees F heat index.On 7/18/26 at 12:05 PM this surveyor drove from the facility's parking lot to the local group home where R1 was located. During the drive it was observed R1 would have crossed five main roads along with one main highway (that has multiple businesses and traffic). Per odometer reading it was 0.6 miles from the facility to the local group home.On 7/17/25 at 12:35 PM V7/Social Service stated, upon receiving a call from the local group home on 7/1/26 stating that R1 had arrived there, V7 immediately notified V1/Administrator. V9/Psychiatric Rehabilitation Service Coordinator and V14/Activity Director then went to retrieve R1 and return R1 to the facility. Because R1 was assigned a wander guard, they were initially unsure how R1 managed to exit undetected, until R1 returned and showed them that R1 had taken it off and hidden it under R1's pillow. R1 was not identified as an elopement risk during R1's initial admission. However, the following day, R1 became highly upset when staff caught R1 smoking in his room and staff informed R1 that his smoking privileges were suspended for 24 hours, prompting R1 to attempt to exit the building while staff followed. R1 has very low cognition, making communication difficult. V7 acknowledges that an elopement evaluation should have been completed following the 6/2/26 incident, but verified none was done. V7 reported while the facility did place a wander guard on R1 after that initial exit attempt, the facility staff did not implement any specific interventions to address R1's agitation regarding smoking restrictions and then on 7/1/26, R1 became upset again when staff caught him smoking in his room once more, resulting in R1's smoking privileges being revoked for two weeks for breaking his smoking contract. V7 stated she was unaware of any clinical interventions put into place to manage the behavioral non-compliance that originally triggered R1's exit-seeking behavior.On 7/17/26 at 12:44 PM, V4/CNA stated, On 7/1/26 sometime around 10:30 AM I heard the alarm going off at the front door. I looked out the door and saw a female getting into a car. I knew another resident was getting ready to leave, so I turned the alarm off at that time. I didn't see anybody else out there, so I didn't think that I needed to go out. Around thirty minutes after that I found out (R1) had exited the building unattended and ended up at his prior group home. I do recall now if we don't see anybody then we do a headcount, or if we can't find somebody that we do a headcount. I guess I didn't realize that we do that every single time the alarm goes off. They (the facility) terminated me and told me the reason was I endangered a resident by not following facility protocol when (R1) got out the door.On 7/18/26 at 1:05 PM V3/Assistant Director of Nursing, stated, We (the facility) do not have documentation that (R1's) wander guard was functioning properly or being checked for placement until 7/1/26 after (R1) left the facility unattended. V3 stated there should have been an order on 6/2/26 (when R1's wander guard was placed) to check R1's wander guard for functionality each night and check for placement each shift. Facility staff should have been alerted to be on the lookout for increased anxiety, agitation, and eloping when R1's smoking privileges got taken away. R1 had a cognitive impairment related to his stroke and had poor decision making, and impulsive behaviors making it unsafe for R1 to be unattended outside of the facility.On 7/20/26 at 8:19 AM V8/R1's Legal Guardian stated when R1 was being admitted to the local nursing home, V8 let the nursing home know how important smoking was to R1. When R1 broke the smoking rule right away and R1's privileges were taken away for 24 hours, R1 was exit seeking then. The second time staff called me to let me know (R1) had broken the smoking rules and smoking would be taken away for two weeks, I expressed concern that (R1) was not going to be able to cope with that, asked if there were any other alternatives to try with (R1), and let them know (R1) would have increased behaviors. The facility said there was nothing else they could do and that they have a very strict smoking policy. (R1) does have impulsive behaviors, and the facility was aware of that. I am not sure how (R1) even found his prior residence because he is not from the area, and he has poor cognition and is not safe to wander around by himself due to his impulsive behavior and previously had a stroke.On 7/20/26 at 9:05 AM V12/Social Services stated the same day prior to R1 eloping from the facility unattended, R1 had broken the smoking rules. IDT (interdisciplinary team) determined since this was R1's second offense, R1's smoking privileges would be taken away. I let (R1) know that and (R1) seemed like he understood. V12 stated she notified V8/R1's Legal Guardian of R1 breaking the smoking rules a second time and that R1's smoking privileges were being taken away for two weeks. V8 voiced concern regarding R1's smoking privileges being taken away for that long since R1 was used to smoking whenever he wanted and for how long he wanted prior to admitting R1 to the facility. V8 did express concerns that R1's behaviors would probably get worse if he was not allowed to smoke for that long. V8 denied being aware of additional follow up or interventions being put into place (like heightened monitoring) after R1's smoking privileges were taken away a second time to help R1 cope with the situation and after R1 exhibited exit seeking behaviors the first time R1's smoking privileges were taken away.On 7/18/26 at 11:54 AM, V1/Administrator stated, On 7/1/26 the local group home called to report that (R1) was at their facility, which was the first we knew (R1) was out of the building. I reviewed the video surveillance, and it showed that at 11:29 AM, (R1) came up B hallway, went through the activity area, and waited around for staff to go down different hallways while (V5/CNA) was standing at the nurses' station with her hands on her hips and (V4/CNA) was by the indoor smoking area. From the video footage you could see (R1) wait for staff to not pay attention, lay a piece of paper on the table, then ran out the door, and bolted, which caused the front door alarm to sound. You could see (R1) did not have his wander guard on at that time. (V5) stood by the nurses' station with her hands on her hips for around a good minute, and as others headed toward the dining room, (V4) literally peeked through the glass on the main door, entered the code to turn off the alarm, and walked away. You could see by the video surveillance that all (V4) did was quickly glance out the door window for a brief second and then reset the alarm. Although (V4) claimed she looked out and saw a resident she thought was going home leave in a car, the video surveillance showed no cars or families in view, and that specific resident she thought she saw was seated at a table in the dining room. (V4) never even opened the door to check outside. When (R1) arrived back to the facility, (R1) told us that he took off his wander guard and placed it under his pillow that morning. I am not sure how (R1) got his wander guard off, because the band was not cut or ripped or anything. (R1) was wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt, shoes, and a hat when he left the building. V1 verified that there is no documentation indicating when R1 was last seen wearing his wander guard. Additionally, V1 was unaware of the last time anyone observed R1 with the device in place. V1 acknowledged that all staff members must respond to a door alarm, following the facility's protocol prior to silencing it.

R3 stated on the morning of 4/4/26 he called the facility to let them know he did not receive any morning medications for the weekend. At that time, R3 provided white envelop medication packets dated 4/3/26, 4/5/26, and 4/6/26 which indicated his name and to Take at 5pm signed byV10 LPN.On 4/15/26 at 2:25PM, R3 was dressed, alert and oriented in his room, and stated he left on 4/3/26 about 5pm and was given his medications for 4/3/26 nighttime in a white medication packet envelop to take home. He stated his medications were already packed for the day before his brother came to get him because he told the nurse early he was leaving so the medications would be ready to be given to him when he left. R3 stated he was given his medication packets right before he left (4/3/26) and R3 stated he never paid attention to what the medication packets were the nurse gave him (he just put them in his pocket after he saw the one marked 4/3/26 at 5pm, and multiple other medication packets) because he has never had a problem before with not getting all his medications. R3 stated he got his night medication for 4/3, 4/4, and 4/5/26. R3 stated his b/p was The highest it had ever been after the weekend because I did not get my b/p medications for three days.

After the nurse noticed my b/p was high I got medications for 4/6/26 in the morning.On 4/15/26 at 11:15AM, V8 Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN stated (R3) called me when he was out on leave, he stated he did not get his morning medications for while he was on leave, I told him he could come back in and we could see what medications he was missing, he stated he did not have a ride back to the nursing home because he was (out of town 45 minutes away), he told me he would go to the ER/emergency room if he had any problems, and I notified (V1 Administrator). We usually chart in the medical record when they go out on home visits and if medications were sent, we use a lot of agency nurses here, and when (R3) came back he said he was anxious so I got an order to increase his Hydroxyzine 50mg from twice a day to three times a day. (R3) has been getting the Hydroxyzine three times a day since the home visit. (R3) has never called or stated before he has not gotten his medications when on a home visit except for this time, he is alert and oriented and able to speak for himself. I do not know who packed his medications or sent them with him, but we pack them for each day for morning, noon, evening or night and indicate that with their name and the dates on the packets. He goes home frequently on home pass and has never complained of not getting his medications before. Sometimes residents refuse medications, and each nurse distributes the medications their own way (when asked if the medication cards indicate whether the medications were punched out on the day they were to be given).On 4/15/26 at 1:01PM, V9 RN/Registered Nurse Nurse Consultant stated nursing home staff said (R3) has never complained of not getting his medications on home pass before; and R3's blood pressure was elevated when he came back and they rechecked it and it went down after medication. I know he missed his B/P medications; his chart does not have a note in the record that he was sent with his medications and there usually is; his brother brought him home that weekend; his MAR/Medication Administration Record does not have where he was sent home with his medications; I am not sure why the medications missing were only for day shift (acknowledged it was a PM shift agency nurse that packed the medications); and stated she verified with R3 that he had all his PM shift medications and he left on the PM shift of 4/3/26. None of the medications missing were narcotics, they were for his B/P, cholesterol, and mental health. He does have a history of depression and anxiety and gets frequent medication changes either to increase or decrease. The medications are delivered in cards for the month, and some places push them out of the card on the numbered day of the month they are to be given but that was not done here because we have agency and they just dispense the medication from any day on the card.

These failures resulted in staff being unable to provide timely life- saving interventions to R1, who suffered an unplanned medical emergency and died. The deficient practice placed all facility residents at risk for delayed or ineffective emergency response.These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. The Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when R1 experienced a medical emergency and facility staff failed to ensure emergency equipment was available, functioning, routinely checked and staff were competent in its use during a resident emergency.V1 (Administrator), V19 (Corporate Regional Director of Operations) and V20 (Corporate Regional Nursing Officer) were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on [DATE] at 12:56 P.M.

When the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) finished cleaning (R1) up (bowel movement and emesis) she stated to the nurse she thought (R1) sounded kind of gurggly. She also stated (R1) verbalized feeling okay and she had a brief conversation with (R1). I then went to the main core (nurse's station) to ask a second nurse (V4/Licensed Practical Nurse) to come listen to (R1)'s lung sounds with me, to make sure I was correctly identifying (R1)'s lung sounds.

We were asking (V3/RN) to find the crash cart for suction. The crash cart only had trach (tracheal) suctioning, not proper yank (yankauer) with tubing. (R1) looked at me and I checked her pulse. I did not feel one. I told (V13/Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) to lower the head of the bed so I could begin compressions. I checked her pulse before beginning compressions, and she had one. (R1) began to vomit again, so we raised the head of the bed, and we began to clean her up. I did another pulse check, and the police arrived. (R1) had no pulse. (V3/RN) came in and stated that (R1) was a full code, so I began compressions. Fire (Department) took over with CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and moved (R1) to the floor, since she needed to be on a hard surface. They hooked up the AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) pads and continued CPR. They could not shock as (R1) had a pulse and was asystole. Fire (department) intubated and bagged (R1). V3/Registered Nurse/RN's written statement dated [DATE] documents, Around 7 (PM), I went into (R1's) room to give her her medication. I noticed (R1) had spit up some saliva, so I got a wet towel and cleaned up her face and neck area. I asked (R1) was she ok and put the head of her bed up. (R1) said she was ok and thanked me. I proceeded to give (R1) her medication and (R1) swallowed it with ease. (Meds/medications crushed in pudding) per usual. With (R1) still setting up, I proceeded to go get her roommates medications ready. I had a few distractions while getting back to my cart, so I ended up taking (R1's) roommates medications within 5 to 10 minutes later. When I walked into (R1's) room to give her roommate medication, (R1) was gagging and throwing up. (R1) did not throw up very much, it was mostly just saliva and gagging. When (R1) stopped and was able to talk to me. I went out of the room and got (V11/Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) to help clean (R1's) chin, as it was covered with saliva. When (V11/CNA) went into the room with (R1) she was still talking and thanking us for cleaning her up. I then went to the front of the building to get another nurse who I know has lots of experience with lung sounds. When me and (V4/Licensed Practical Nurse) got back to (R1's) room, (R1) was pale and now vomiting out of her mouth and nose. I immediately went to call 911. (V4/LPN) stayed in the room with (R1) while another nurse came down the hall with the crash cart. When I was finished calling 911, I went back into (R1's) room and she was still gagging and vomiting. The other two nurses were trying to find a suction machine within the crash cart and there was not one. Police arrived and within seconds, (R1) went limp and CPR was started by (V4/LPN). Paramedics took over when they arrived and the medics stated that (R1) was in asystole and her pulse kept going in and out.

Allegations of staff to resident sexual abuse-Nursing home staff are entrusted with the responsibility to protect and are for the residents of that facility. Nursing home staff are expected to recognize that engaging in a sexual relationship with a resident, even an apparently willingly engaged and consensual relationship, is not consistent with the staff members role as a caregiver and will be considered an abuse of power. Also, for some health care professionals to have a relationship with a resident. Any sexual relationship between a staff member and a resident with or without diminished capacity may constitute sexual abuse in the absence of a sexual relationship that existed prior to the resident admitted to the facility, such as a spouse or partner, and must be thoroughly investigated to prevent abuse and implement policies and procedures to prevent and prohibit all types of abuse, neglect, bribery, misappropriation of resident property, and exploitation that achieves: A. Establishing a safe environment that supports, to the extent possible, a resident's consensual sexual relationship and by establishing policies and protocols for preventing sexual abuse. This may include identifying when, how and by whom determinations of capacity to consent to a sexual contact will be made and where this documentation will be recorded; and the resident's right to establish a relationship with another individual, which may include the development of or the presence of an ongoing sexually intimate relationship. B.

Maintaining or attempting to maintain a relationship (whether or not consensual) with a resident that is sexual or romantic in nature unless the resident is the employee's spouse. First offense-Discharge. The Illinois Guardianship and Advocacy Commission Guardianship Fact Sheet (undated) documents, Guardianship Facts: Guardianship is needed when a person is unable to make and communicate responsible decisions regarding his personal care or finances due to a mental, physical, or developmental disability. The extent to which a guardian is allowed to make decisions for a ward is determined by the court based on a thorough clinical evaluation and report. Two basic types of guardianship are person guardianship and estate guardianship. A guardian of the person is appointed by the court when a disabled individual cannot make or communicate responsible decisions regarding his personal care. This guardian will make decisions about medical treatment, residential placement, social services, and other needs. The court appoints a guardian of the estate when a disabled person is unable to make or communicate responsible decisions regarding the management of his estate or finances. The guardian will, subject to court supervision, make decisions about the ward's funds and the safeguarding of the ward's income or other assets. The Illinois Probate Act gives the court the flexibility to tailor guardianship to meet the needs and capabilities of disabled persons. Depending on the decision-making capacity of the disabled person, the court can appoint a limited guardian who is granted the power to make only those decisions about personal care and/or personal finances that the court specifies. The court can also appoint a plenary guardian who generally has the power to make all decisions about personal care and/or finances for the disabled person. R3's Legal Guardianship dated 2/27/15 and signed by V12 (Judge) documents, Because of (R3's) physical and mental conditions, (R3) is not able to manage her person or property and is therefore a disabled person.

Eligible for rehire: No. R3's Police Report #25-049356 dated 11/26/25 at 1:17 PM and signed by V27 (Local Police Officer) documents, On 11/26/25 I (V27) was dispatched to (the facility) in regard to a sexual assault report. Upon arrival I met with (R3) and (V1/Administrator) who had reported the incident. (V1) advised that on 11/23/25, (R3) and (V3/R3's Guardian) had an argument regarding (R3) meeting former facility employee (V7) at (local church) on Sundays and having sex in (V7's) car in the parking lot during Sunday school before church. It should be noted that (V7) chose to resign from (the facility) due to a romantic interest in (R3), in which (V7) was told (V7) could not work at (the facility) due to a romantic interest in a resident (R3). (V3) also took (R3's) electronic devices after the argument and discovered inappropriate messages between (R3) and (V7). Today, (V1) advised that (R3) told one of her caregivers that (V7) forced (R3) to have sex without (R3's) consent, therefore (V7) was alerted and contacted the police. (R3) stated that she does love (V7) but was not ready to have sex with (V7). (R3) advised there has been three occasions where (V7) lured (R3) to (V7's) vehicle in the parking lot of the church and forced (R3) to have sex with (V7) which has occurred each Sunday, since the first week of November. I asked (R3) to walk me through each occurrence, beginning with the first time it happened. First Occurrence: (R3) stated that the first time this occurred, (R3) went to church on the shuttle that transports (facility) residents to church. Shortly after (R3) arrived at church (R3) received a message from (V7) to come outside to talk. (R3) believed (V7) just wanted to talk and then (V7) asked (R3) to get into his vehicle, which (R3) described as a black SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). (R3) stated she was hesitant to get in the vehicle, but (V7) kept persisting and it was cold outside, so (R3) got inside the vehicle in the front passenger seat. After (R3) sat down, (R3) stated that (V7) said he wanted to show her how a real man makes loves to somebody, and locked the doors, opened his driver door, and walked around to the back of the car where he opened the trunk. (R3) stated (V7) climbed into the back seat from the trunk. (R3) did not know why he did it this way. (R3) then stated that (V7) pulled her into the back seat and (R3) told (V7) to leave her alone. (R3) advised that (V7) said, It'll be fun and proceeded to remove (R3's) pants and underwear and began to have sex with (R3) without a condom or any protection. After (V7) had sex with (R3), (R3) stated she kicked (V7) to get (V7) off, and to get out of the vehicle, and then ran into the church. At this time, (R3) was advised church was ending, and (R3) departed on a shuttle back to (the facility). Second Occurrence: The second time this occurred, (R3) advised she arrived at church and (V7) told her he had breakfast and coffee in the car. (R3) came out and sat in the car when (V7) told her because (R3) was scared. This time (R3) sat in the back seat because (R3) did not want to sit right next to him. (R3) said (V7) did have breakfast and (R3) began to eat, and (V7) left for five to ten minutes. When (V7) came back (R3) was feeling very tired and disorientated and (R3) said You're ready. (R3) advised she kept telling (V7) no but does not remember what happened after that. (R3) advised that when (R3) started becoming aware again, (R3's) pants and underwear were off and (V7) was not there. (R3) stated she remembered feeling pain in (R3's) groin area after this occurred but did not seek help. Third Occurrence: On the third occurrence, (R3) advised (V7) told (R3) he had snacks in the car. When (R3) came outside with (R3), (R3) stated that (V7) was sitting in the backset and told (R3) he wanted to apologize, and he asked (R3) to get in the car so he could apologize. (R3) stated that she refused, and then (V7) grabbed her waist and said, You're mine and pulled (R3) into the car. (R3) told (V7) she had a headache and said (V7) offered a square shaped red pill that (R3) said was ibuprofen and forced it down (R3's) throat. After that, (R3) said (V7) told her if she ever tells anyone (V7) will stop at nothing to finish her off, and if (R3) screams (V7) would knock her ass out and do (R3) right there. (R3) stated she felt like she blacked (out) shortly after and believed it was from the pill (V7) gave her. (R3) stated that this time, she woke up, she was completely naked and believed (R3) felt semen inside of her, and once again, (V7) was no longer there. (R3) stated that again, (R3) went back inside the building and came back to (the facility) on the shuttle. Follow-up with (V1/Administrator): Following my interview with (R3), (R3) returned to her room. I met with (V1), who advised that (R3) has diagnoses Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, and Impaired Social Interaction. (V1) advised that there were notes in her file stating that (R3) has a history of lying to and manipulating staff, especially when attempting to leave the building, and using (R3's) phone to manipulate men online and engage in inappropriate communication. (V3/R3's Plenary Guardian) found out (R3) was meeting (V7) at church this past Sunday, which led to an argument with (R3) in which officers had to response. (V3) had gone through (R3's) phone and had found out earlier today that (R3) had been having sex with (V7). After talking with (V1), I departed the facility. On December 17, 2025, I (V27) was able to make contact with (V7) on the phone. I asked (V7) if he was familiar with (R3) and had him describe his relationship with (R3). (V7) advised that he was very close with (R3), and (V7) did resign from (the facility) in the past in order to maintain a relationship with (R3). (V7) did confirm that (V7) and (R3) were conversating over the phone and going to the same church, approximately one month ago and they would talk to each other while in church. (V7) stated that there were times that (V7) and (R3) went to his car and kissed, but they never engaged in any other sexual acts or intercourse. (V3) also called to follow up on 12/17/25. (V3) advised (V3) still has (R3's) phone, and that (V7) is still texting (R3). (V3) provided (V27) with more screenshots of more messages from (V7) and (R3). In these messages (V7) references our Sundays and at one point stated, If you (R3) are able to leave and also not talk to me and move on after making love, then you (R3) do not love me (V7). I (V27) will continue investigating this and due to conflicting statements. I will follow up with (R3) again, as well as (V7). On January 3, 2026, I (V27) met with (V7) at the public safety building and (V7) voluntarily gave a statement regarding (V7's) relationship with (R3), and their interactions. The following is a summary of my recollection of (V7's) statements. (V7's) full statement has been captured on body camera, and video recorded in the interview room. (V27) began a recording in the interview room and escorted (V7) to the room. I advised (V7) he was not under arrest but still read (V7) his [NAME] Warning from a pre-printed card. (V7) advised that he would speak with me and answer questions. (V7) advised that he did, in fact, resign from (the facility) because (V7) and (R3) had feelings for each other, and (V7) was told he could not remain employed (at the facility) if (V7) was going to have a personal relationship with (R3). (V7) stated that (R3) and (V7) were going to (local church) together for a couple months, and that (R3) enjoyed going to church with (V7), and they would often sit together. (V7) stated that they (R3 and V7) spoke with a pastor, together at one point for guidance in their relationship. (V7) did advise that sometimes he would step out to his car for a cigarette, and (R3) would follow (V7). According to (V7), (R3) came out to his care with him three or four times. (V7) stated that he occasionally brought some pop to drink in his car. (V7) advised that (V7) and (R3) would occasionally hug and kiss in the car, and there was one occasion in the car, at the church parking lot, in which their (R3 and V7's) physical contact escalated to protected sex. (V7) advised the sex was consensual and that (R3) stated to (V7) that (R3) did not withdraw from, or request (V7) to stop during sex at any time. (V7) said that (V7) and (R3) probably did occasionally talk about sex both over phone communication and in person, but they only had sex one time. Due to (V3's) mentioning a letter that was sent after (V3) confiscated (R3's) electronics, I asked (V7) if he ever sent a letter to (R3). (V7) stated he did give a letter to a mutual acquaintance to give to (R3). I asked (V7) if there was any particular reason (V7) could think of that would cause (R3) to feel uncomfortable with (V7), or their relationship all of a sudden, or if (R3) had not been mad at (V7) or uncomfortable with (V7) or told (V7) anything to indicate (R3) was upset, or uncomfortable with (V7). (V7) advised that after (V7) found out (R3) no longer had her phone or computer, (R3) attempted to contact (V7) multiple times from other phones such as her roommate's phone or landline phone at (the facility). Copies of questions (V27) asked (V7) during the interview and (V7's) personal notes he brought with have been added to the case file, and digital copies have been added to case pictures under this report number. Due to (R3's) statements in the original incident report of not consenting and being forced to have sex, and conflicting statements from (V7), I am requesting that this report be send to the State's Attorney's Office for a probable cause review for (V7) to be charged with Criminal Sexual Assault.R3's current Plan of Care as of 1/30/26 documents, Focus date initiated 3/6/25: Impaired Social Interaction-(R3) is frequently speaking with, texting, or calling objects of opposite sex. (R3) is easily emotionally involved and makes poor decisions related to opposite sex related to diagnoses of Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), and ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Goal: (R3) will embrace positive thinking statement and will participate in social situations. Focus date initiated 7/8/25: (R3) has a behavior problem related to Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, MDD, Anxiety Disorder, and history of SI (Suicidal Ideation). (R3) will manipulate situations/peers/staff to be able to leave the building and go where (R3) is potentially not safe and lie about where (R3) is going against guardian's wishes and also use manipulation to be sent to the hospital at will. (R3) takes other belongings thinking that it is comical, uses cell phone to attempt to manipulate men online to come pick her up from facility (unsafe decision making) as (R3) does not know these men. (R3) makes false accusations against staff and peers. (R3) Makes false allegation against other residents stating they have come into her room and hit her, and investigations show untruth. This same care plan does not include any updated interventions since the last update on 6/27/25 to address and protect R3 from sexually inappropriate conversations and video nudity by electronic communication with V7 or any other male and does not address or protect R3 from being sexually assaulted by V7 or any other male. This care plan also does not include R3's cognitive ability to consent to sexual activity. R3's Electronic Health Record dated 2/25/25 (admission) through 1/29/26 does not include an evaluation to determine R3's ability to consent to sexual activity. The facility's Root Cause Analysis Worksheet (undated) documents, (R3) was engaged in a relationship with (V7) in the community. (R3) would attend church services with groups from the facility on Sundays, with no staff supervision. (R3 and V7) would meet at a church and attend services together. (R3) was noted to leave church services and go to the parking lot with (V7). It was reported (R3 and V7) were having sexual relations in the parking lot of the church. (V3/R3's Plenary Guardian) was made aware of the sexual relationship between (R3 and V7) and (V3) stopped (R3) from attending church services. (R3) then alleged that the sexual relationship was non-consensual. The facility's QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement)/QAA (Quality Assurance Assessment) Meeting Agenda dated 11/26/25 documents the facility immediately implemented protection measures and increased supervision of R3. R3's current Care Plan does not include these increased supervision and protection measures as documents in the QAPI agenda.On 1/28/26 at 10:30 AM V3 (R3's Plenary Guardian) stated, I am (R3's) legal guardian. At seven years old I adopted (R3). About the age of three to four years old (R3) wasn't reaching goal marks. (R3's) doctor told me I need to file for guardianship to keep (R3) safe from others, so I did. On 6/26/25, (V1/Administrator) called me and told me that (R3's) roommate (R6) had reported to (V1) that (R3) was in a relationship with (V7/Dietary Aide). (V1) told me they (the facility) were going to do an investigation, and I gave permission to look through (R3's) electronics. (V1) reported to me that (R3 and V7) were not having a sexual relationship but (V7) was sending (R3) messages saying, I love you. I am going to get you out of this place. You are the best thing that has happened to me. (V1) also said (R3 and V7) were video chatting at night. I had a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) tell me that she had gone into check on (R3) and saw (R3) was on a video call with (V7). I cannot remember that CNAs name. I was very upset over this whole thing of an employee trying to have a sexual relationship with (R3). I asked (V1) for (V7's) discharge records and I was told (V7) left on his own, so the facility did not have to do the paperwork or report this to IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health). I told them IDPH needs to know that one of their employees (V7) is trying to have a sexual relationship and boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with my daughter (R3) and this is exploitation of my daughter. I am a nurse and know a staff member should never try to have a relationship with a resident. I told the facility to take (R3's) electronics and that (R3) was not to have any further contact with (V7). After that (R3) was calling me and screaming at me that I am the worst mom ever. (R3) wanted to have a relationship with (V7) and started threatening suicide and was sent to a psychiatric unit for treatment. When (R3) returned to the facility, (R3) was put on lockdown and was not to leave the facility without supervision. I allowed (R3) to go to church back in November 2025. (R3) was able to leave to go to church with the facility dropping (R3) off and the church would bring (R3) back to the facility, and I told the facility to ensure (R3) was supervised at church. (R3) has a history of lying and being manipulative and a nurse (unknown name) told me that she thought (R3) was meeting up with (V7) while at church. I decided to drive three hours down and went to that church and sat in the back row. (R3) was not at church when I was there, even though I was told by the facility (R3) was going to church. About an hour into church, (R3) came into church from a side door. After church was over, I waited for (R3) to notice me. I walked up behind (R3) and tapped (R3) on the shoulder. I took (R3) back to the facility myself. I went outside and was looking for her and one of the residents in the facility van said to me, Just so you know (R3) has not been going to Sunday school for weeks. (R3) was angry at me for questioning her. The van driver (V13) told me he knew for weeks that (R3) had been sneaking around with (V7) at church. (R3) admitted to me that (R3) and (V7) were having intercourse while (V7) was working at the facility and (R3) had even met (V7's) daughter. The facility did not keep (R3) safe, and the facility said they would keep (R3) safe. (R3) is not allowed to leave now. (R3) cannot consent to sex. I told the police officer (V27) that (R3) cannot consent, and I am her legal guardian and did not consent to (R3) having a relationship with (V7). After (R3 and V7) were caught together at church, (V27) and (V1) were made fully aware that (V7) was the male meeting up with my daughter at church. I am legal guardian, and the police and facility should have done a rape kit on Sunday (11/23/25). There was also no STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) testing done. I have since read all the text messaging done between (R3 and V7) and I turned all those text messages over to (V27). (V7) knows (R3) is disabled and takes advantage of (R3). (V7) needs to leave my daughter alone! The messages between (R3 and V7) started before June 2025. (V7) would send messages to (R3) saying, I[TRUNCATED]

R3's Individual Psychotherapy Notes dated 1/9/26 and signed by V8 (Clinical Therapist) document, (R3) reported ongoing stress related to (V7) who continues attempting to contact (R3) directly and through others. (R3) expressed being done with the situation and wanting to leave town to feel safer. (R3) noted an increase in night tremors and shares significant fear that (V7) may approach (R3) when (R3) is not with staff or family, stating (R3) worries that something bad will happen. (R3) described how this fear has begun to affect her faith, though she continues coping by reading her Bible and listening to sermons.On 1/28/26 at 10:30 AM V3 (R3's Plenary Guardian) stated, I am (R3's) legal guardian. At seven years old I adopted (R3). About the age of three to four years old (R3) wasn't reaching goal marks. (R3's) doctor told me I need to file for guardianship to keep (R3) safe from others, so I did. On 6/26/25, (V1/Administrator) called me and told me that (R3's) roommate (R6) had reported to (V1) that (R3) was in a relationship with (V7/Dietary Aide). (V1) told me they (the facility) were going to do an investigation, and I gave permission to look through (R3's) electronics. (V1) reported to me that (R3 and V7) were not having a sexual relationship but (V7) was sending (R3) messages saying, I love you. I am going to get you out of this place. You are the best thing that has happened to me. (V1) also said (R3 and V7) were video chatting at night. I had a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) tell me that she had gone into check on (R3) and saw (R3) was on a video call with (V7). I cannot remember that CNAs name. I was very upset over this whole thing of an employee trying to have a sexual relationship with (R3). I asked (V1) for (V7's) discharge records and I was told (V7) left on his own, so the facility did not have to do the paperwork or report this to IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health). I told (V1) IDPH (Illinois Department of Public Health) needs to know that one of the employees at the facility, (V7), is trying to have a sexual relationship and boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with my daughter (R3) and this is exploitation of my daughter. I am a nurse and know a staff member should never try to have a relationship with a resident. When (R3) returned to the facility, (R3) was put on lockdown and was not to leave the facility without supervision. I allowed (R3) to go to church back in November 2025. (R3) was able to leave to go to church with the facility dropping (R3) off and the church would bring (R3) back to the facility, and I told the facility to ensure (R3) was supervised at church. (R3) has a history of lying and being manipulative and a nurse (unknown name) told me that she thought (R3) was meeting up with (V7) while at church. I decided to drive three hours down and went to that church and sat in the back row. (R3) was not at church when I was there, even though I was told by the facility (R3) was going to church. About an hour into church, (R3) came into church from a side door. After church was over, I waited for (R3) to notice me. I walked up behind (R3) and tapped (R3) on the shoulder. I took (R3) back to the facility myself. I went outside and was looking for her and one of the residents in the facility van said to me, Just so you know (R3) has not been going to Sunday school for weeks. (R3) was angry at me for questioning her. The van driver (V13) told me he knew for weeks that (R3) had been sneaking around with (V7) at church. (R3) admitted to me that (R3) and (V7) were having intercourse while (V7) was working at the facility and (R3) had even met (V7's) daughter. The facility did not keep (R3) safe, and the facility said they would keep (R3) safe. (R3) is not allowed to leave now. (R3) cannot consent to sex. I told the police officer (V27) that (R3) cannot consent, and I am her legal guardian and did not consent to (R3) having a relationship with (V7). (V7) knows (R3) is disabled and takes advantage of (R3). (V7) continued to text me and say he cares about (R3), and they love each other. I do not want (V7) to have any further contact with (R3).On 1/28/26 at 12:51 PM V6 (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Coordinator) stated, (R3) came into my office and said she was upset because they (R3 and V7) were in love and were texting back and forth and video chatting while (V7) worked here. (R3) let me read text messages and (V7) texting (R3) saying he missed and loved (R3) and knows (R3) is with other people and how (R3) could do that too (V7). I reported this to (V1) immediately and (V7) was given the option to resign or be terminated. On 11/20/25 (R6) reported to me that she saw (V7), who (R6) described as the little guy that used to work here, on a phone video with (R3) and (R3 and V7) were being provocative, having sexually inappropriate conversations, and having sexual acts. (R6) said she told (R3 and V7) to Knock that off. (R6) said (V7) began cursing at (R6) and told (R6) to Shut the f**k up and (R3) continued to yell at (R6). (R6) was frustrated. I reported (R6's) report to (V1) and we discussed it in an IDT (Inter-Disciplinary) meeting and then (R3) was supposed to stop using electronics.On 1/28/26 at 1:15 PM R3 stated, I want to leave and get closer to my family. I got involved with a staff member, (V7), while he worked here. I started to play songs that I had written and (V7) would come out and say he was into music. Around March of last year (V7) sent me a message request on Facebook and I said back to (V7), How did you find me? (V7) said we (R3 and V7) share mutual friends on Facebook. After that we started text messaging back and forth while (V7) was at work. Eventually (V7) started asking me for phone sex and naked pictures and I was not okay with that. (V7) was living with the mother of his child during this time. (V7) told me that (V1/Administrator) gave (V7) the option to leave and not have legal repercussions or (V7) could stay employed and get both of us in trouble. (V7) started to say I was f**cked up in the head and (V7) did not want me. Our relationship grew and when I started to go to church, (V7) would meet up with me at church. (V7) lured me into his car by saying he wanted to talk to me privately. That should have been my first red flag. I went to (V7's) car and (V7) raped me and it was not consensual. (V7) raped me on three different Sundays. I asked (V7) to stop. (V7) wanted me to tell everyone it was consensual. (V7) told me he wanted our conversations to make it sound consensual. I talked to (V7) once since church by phone here at the facility and told (V7) to leave me the h**l alone. (V7) said he was not going to leave me alone and that he loved me. I told (V7) I am leaving this town because of (V7). (V3) is my guardian, and I am not sure if (V3) decides if I can have sex or not. I told the police and (V1) that (V7) raped me. The police said they were investigating. I am okay with the police seeing my phone messages and I am okay with you (this surveyor) seeing those messages. I feel like I could scream and do not feel comfortable here and I am having night terrors about what happened to me from (V7). I just want to leave this town. (V7) is not allowed on the property, and I am not allowed to leave because I do not want to put myself in an unsafe spot and see (V7). I told (V1) that (V7) raped me, and it was (V7).On 1/29/26 at 10:30 AM V11 (Human Resources Director) stated, On 6/27/25 me and (V1) met with (V7) after (V1) read text messages between (R3 and V7).

(V7) told (V10) he was not texting with anyone. (R3) gave me her phone. I found out (V7) was texting (R3) and trying to have a relationship with (R3). It did not look like anything sexually inappropriate at that time. I said to (V7), I thought you weren't texting (R3). I told (V7) he could not be an employee and have a relationship with (R3). (V7) decided to resign because he wanted to have a relationship with (R3) and was having feelings for (R3). I called (V3) and told (V3) that (V7) decided to resign. Later, I was told by (V3) that (V7 and R3) were having sex in the parking lot. At this time V1 verified he did not notify the State Agency or the local police when V1 became aware that V7 was trying to initiate a personal relationship with a resident (R3).

I know it was inappropriate and should not have been happening. We (facility) staff were never told whether or not (R3) could consent to sexual relationships.

When (R3) returned to the facility, (R3) was put on lockdown and was not to leave the facility without supervision. I allowed (R3) to go to church back in November 2025. (R3) was able to leave to go to church with the facility dropping (R3) off and the church would bring (R3) back to the facility, and I told the facility to ensure (R3) was supervised at church. (R3) has a history of lying and being manipulative and a nurse (unknown name) told me that she thought (R3) was meeting up with (V7) while at church. I decided to drive three hours down and went to that church and sat in the back row. (R3) was not at church when I was there, even though I was told by the facility (R3) was going to church. About an hour into church, (R3) came into church from a side door. After church was over, I waited for (R3) to notice me. I walked up behind (R3) and tapped (R3) on the shoulder. I took (R3) back to the facility myself. I went outside and was looking for her and one of the residents in the facility van said to me, Just so you know (R3) has not been going to Sunday school for weeks. (R3) was angry at me for questioning her. The van driver (V13) told me he knew for weeks that (R3) had been sneaking around with (V7) at church. (R3) admitted to me that (R3) and (V7) were having intercourse while (V7) was working at the facility and (R3) had even met (V7's) daughter. The facility did not keep (R3) safe, and the facility said they would keep (R3) safe. (R3) is not allowed to leave now. (R3) cannot consent to sex. I told the police officer (V27) that (R3) cannot consent, and I am her legal guardian and did not consent to (R3) having a relationship with (V7). (V7) knows (R3) is disabled and takes advantage of (R3). (V7) continued to text me and say he cares about (R3), and they love each other. I do not want (V7) to have any further contact with (R3).On 1/28/26 at 12:51 PM V6 (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Coordinator) stated, (R3) came into my office and said she was upset because they (R3 and V7) were in love and were texting back and forth and video chatting while (V7) worked here. (R3) let me read text messages and (V7) texting (R3) saying he missed and loved (R3) and knows (R3) is with other people and how (R3) could do that too (V7). I reported this to (V1) immediately and (V7) was given the option to resign or be terminated. On 11/20/25 (R6) reported to me that she saw (V7), who (R6) described as the little guy that used to work here, on a phone video with (R3) and (R3 and V7) were being provocative, having sexually inappropriate conversations, and having sexual acts. (R6) said she told (R3 and V7) to Knock that off. (R6) said (V7) began cursing at (R6) and told (R6) to Shut the f**k up and (R3) continued to yell at (R6). (R6) was frustrated. I reported (R6's) report to (V1) and we discussed it in an IDT (Inter-Disciplinary) meeting and then (R3) was supposed to stop using electronics. I do not see that any interventions have been added to (R3) or (R6's) care plans to protect them from further sexual exploitation or verbal abuse.On 1/28/26 at 1:15 PM R3 stated, I want to leave and get closer to my family. I got involved with a staff member, (V7), while he worked here. I started to play songs that I had written and (V7) would come out and say he was into music. Around March of last year (V7) sent me a message request on Facebook and I said back to (V7), How did you find me? (V7) said we (R3 and V7) share mutual friends on Facebook. After that we started text messaging back and forth while (V7) was at work. Eventually (V7) started asking me for phone sex and naked pictures and I was not okay with that. (V7) was living with the mother of his child during this time. (V7) told me that (V1/Administrator) gave (V7) the option to leave and not have legal repercussions or (V7) could stay employed and get both of us in trouble. (V7) started to say I was f**cked up in the head and (V7) did not want me. Our relationship grew and when I started to go to church, (V7) would meet up with me at church. (V7) lured me into his car by saying he wanted to talk to me privately. That should have been my first red flag. I went to (V7's) car and (V7) raped me and it was not consensual. (V7) raped me on three different Sundays. I asked (V7) to stop. (V7) wanted me to tell everyone it was consensual. (V7) told me he wanted our conversations to make it sound consensual. I talked to (V7) once since church by phone here at the facility and told (V7) to leave me the h**l alone. (V7) said he was not going to leave me alone and that he loved me. I told (V7) I am leaving this town because of (V7). (V3) is my guardian, and I am not sure if (V3) decides if I can have sex or not. I told the police and (V1) that (V7) raped me. The police said they were investigating. I am okay with the police seeing my phone messages and I am okay with you (this surveyor) seeing those messages. I feel like I could scream and do not feel comfortable here and I am having night terrors about what happened to me from (V7). I just want to leave this town. (V7) is not allowed on the property, and I am not allowed to leave because I do not want to put myself in an unsafe spot and see (V7). I told (V1) that (V7) raped me, and it was (V7).On 1/29/26 at 10:30 AM V11 (Human Resources Director) stated, On 6/27/25 me and (V1) met with (V7) after (V1) read text messages between (R3 and V7). (V7) was inappropriately texting (R3's) cellphone as in boyfriend/girlfriend type texting and telling (R3) he wanted to have a relationship with (R3).On 1/30/26 at 1:00 PM (V29/LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, (V3) came to the facility on [DATE] and was livid after (V3) caught (R3 and V7) having sex in the parking lot of the facility. I reported this to (V1) on 11/23/25. I am not aware of any interventions to increase supervision or safety of (R3) to keep (R3) free from further sexual abuse. I am not even sure if (R3) can consent to sex.On 1/29/26 at 12:40 PM V1 (Administrator) stated, (V10/Prior Dietary Manager) came to me around 6/26/25 and said he was told a dietary staff member (V7) was texting with (R3). (V7) told (V10) he was not texting with anyone. (R3) gave me her phone. I found out (V7) was texting (R3) and trying to have a relationship with (R3). It did not look like anything sexually inappropriate at that time. I said to (V7), I thought you weren't texting (R3). I told (V7) he could not be an employee and have a relationship with (R3). (V7) decided to resign because he wanted to have a relationship with (R3) and was having feelings for (R3). I called (V3) and told (V3) that (V7) decided to resign. Later, I was told by (V3) that (V7 and R3) were having sex in the parking lot. V1 verified R3 and R6's care plans have not been updated with interventions to keep R3 and R6 safe from V7 and R3's medical record does not include an evaluation to determine if R3 has the ability to consent to sex.On 1/29/26 at 1:05 PM V17 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, There were several evenings that (V7) and (R3) were videochatting sexually back and forth in November. I would report this to the nurses anytime I witness them. I do not recall the nurses I was reporting this to as a lot of them were agency nurses and I do not know their names. I know it was inappropriate and should not have been happening. We (facility) staff were never told whether or not (R3) could consent to sexual relationships. Still today I am not sure if (R3) can consent to sexual relationships or not and have not been told that we need to supervise (R3).On 1/29/26 at 1:30 PM V10 (Prior Dietary Manager) stated, While I was the dietary manager at the facility I started noticing (V7) was not doing his job and spending a lot of time around (R3) in the day room and out on the patio. I asked (V7) about it and told (V7) it is not appropriate to have a relationship with a resident. Later, sometime in June (2025), (V7) came to me and said he was starting to have feelings for (R3). I immediately reported this to (V1). (V1) then asked (R3) if he could see her cellphone messages between (R3 and V7) and found out (R3) had more than one cellphone (V1) read the messages that were being sent back between (R3 and V7) while (V7) was an employee and (V7's) messages to (R3) were that (R3) was the love of his (V7's) life and (V7) wanted to get (R3) pregnant. (V7) was trying to have an intimate relationship with (R3). The next day after (V1) read the inappropriate text messages between (R3 and V7), (V7) was asked to resign.On 1/31/26 at 9:00 AM V29 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) stated, I have been told (R3 and V7) were caught having a sexual relationship together which is a big no. A staff member should never have relationships with a resident. I have never been told that (R3) needs supervised with her electronics or using the phone. I also have not been told whether (R3) can consent or have sexual relations with other residents or not.2.R3's Emergency Department Notes dated 7/8/25 document, (R3) reports that she has been feeling suicidal for the past couple days.

V1 stated he has not started an investigation into this allegation at this time.3. R6's Face Sheet documents R6 is a [AGE] year-old that was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R6's MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment dated [DATE] documents R6 is cognitively intact and has no behaviors. R3's Behavior Note dated 11/20/25 at 8:30 AM and signed by V6 (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Coordinator) documents, Another resident (R6) approached (V6) to report that (R3) was engaging in sexual conversation. When (R6) asked them to refrain from doing this while (R6) was in the room, the male (V7) on the call began cursing at (R6) and calling (R6) names. (R6) stated that incidents like this occur often, and it is making (R6) feel uncomfortable. R6's Progress Notes do not include any documentation regarding R6's alleged altercation with V7 on 11/20/25. On 1/28/26 at 12:05 PM R6 stated, I watched (R3) and (V7) having sex on her phone several times (unknown dates) and whenever I would try to make (R3 and R7) stop (V7) would yell at me and tell me to mind my own business and call me a b***h. I asked (R3 and V7) to stop. I didn't want to see or hear that. The last time I asked (R3) and (V7) to stop having phone sex, (V7) yelled at me, You b***h! You are going to get you're a** kicked. I told (V5/SSD/Social Service Director) that (V7) threatened me and has threatened me several times. I definitely felt abused and worried that (V7) would do something to me.On 1/28/26 at 12:51 PM V6 (Psychosocial Rehabilitation Coordinator) stated, On 11/20/25 (R6) reported to me that she saw (V7), who (R6) described as the little guy that used to work here, on a phone video with (R3) and (R3 and V7) were being provocative, having sexual inappropriate conversations, and having sexual acts.

I reported this immediately to V1. I do not think (R6's) care plan has been updated to keep (R6) safe from (V7's) threats.On 1/29/26 at 12:40 PM V1 verified he has not investigated or submitted a final report to the State Agency regarding R6's allegations made on 11/20/25 regarding V7 and is not aware of R6's care plan being updated with interventions to keep R6 safe from V7.The Immediate Jeopardy started June 26 2025 when V1 became aware that (V7/Prior Dietary Aide) started engaging in behavior indicating an attempt to initiate a personal or romantic relationship with R3, while V7 was employed at the facility, and did not submit a final report to the state agency regarding V7's attempt to initiate a personal relationship with R3 or develop and implement interventions to keep R3 safe from V7 which resulted in V7 continuing to have sexually inappropriate conversations and video nudity by electronic communication with R3, and V7 sexually assaulting R3 on at least three occasions while R3 was attending church services.

R8's Order Summary Report printed on 1/28/26 documents, Order Date 3/13/25: Norco (Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen) 10/325 mg (milligrams) one tablet by mouth every eight hours as needed for pain. The Pharmacy's Proof of Delivery and Packing Slip dated 12/6/25 documents 30 tablets of (R8's) Hydrocodone-APAP 10/325 mg were delivered to the facility on [DATE]. R8's Final Report dated 12/17/25 and signed by V1 (Administrator) documents, Incident Date: 12/9/25, (V2/Director of Nursing) noted (R8's) medication card missing. Pharmacy records show that the medication was sent on 12/6/25. The nurse (V28/Agency RN/Registered Nurse) receiving the medication states that she signed the medication in and appropriately stored the medication. This is backed by video evidence. Medication was reordered on 12/9/25 at 12:00 PM (and) was denied due to just being filled. Investigation initiated to verify delivery from pharmacy. Investigation includes video footage, interviews, and medication records. The investigation has narrowed down to an agency nurse (V19/Agency RN). This nurse (V19) has been DNR (Do No Return) from the facility as a precaution. (Local) police department has been given all requested information. V28's (Agency RN) statement dated 12/9/25 and signed by V33 (ADON/Assistant Director of Nursing) documents V28 received a delivery from pharmacy on 12/6/25 at 4:00 AM which include 30 tablets of R8's Norco (10/325 mg). This same statement documents V28 placed the 30 tablets of R8's Norco 10/325 mg in the medication cart.

I watched video footage and saw that (V28/Agency RN) received (R8's) Norco 30 tablets from pharmacy on 12/6/25 and put (R8's) Norco in the medication cart. By the time I found out (R8's) Norco was missing, two days had passed by. I did an audit of the controlled substance inventory sheets and noticed numerous nurses were not counting the controlled substances and cards at the beginning and end of their shifts like they were supposed to. I watched video surveillance and could not see if a nurse had stolen (R8's) Norco. In the video surveillance there are times the medication cart cannot be visualized. After I did an investigation, I determined that the only nurse that could have taken (R8's) Norco was (V19/Agency Nurse) because all the other nurses have worked here and we have never had missing narcotics. (V19) was the only new nurse that had worked. On 2/2/26 at 11:34 AM V28 stated, On a Friday (12/6/25) I received (R8's) Norco 10/325 mg 30 tablets from pharmacy. I put (R8's) Norco in the medication cart. I signed the pharmacy delivery sheets to confirm I received (R8's) Norco 30 tablets and when I left the facility in the morning around 6:00 AM (12/6/25) I counted all the controlled medications cards and pills and there were no discrepancies. That is the last time I worked.

I have blocked her on all accounts. I lived at an apartment prior to here. The police officer said it was the best thing to do was to go to the hospital for a rape kit. The hospital said it had been over three weeks so there was really no reason to do a rape kit since I have showered, and all the evidence would be gone. She would bring me in alcohol and vapes as a bribe for sex. Once in a while she would bring me in THC (Tetrahydro-Cannabinol) gummies. I am not aware of her having sexual relations with any other residents. I showed some staff the videos because the staff asked me to send them to them. I sent videos to staff on Monday. On 1-31-25 at 12:55 PM V1 (Administrator) stated, On Wednesday (R1) reported to me that he felt coerced and raped by (V3). When (R1) reported it on Monday to me, (R1) did not report feeling coerced or raped by (V3). As soon as (R1) reported sex with (V3) as not being consensual, I notified the police and the physician. (R1) was interviewed by the police for three and a half hours. We (the facility) sent (R1) to the hospital to have a rape kit done. A rape kit could not be done since it had been over three weeks since (R1 and V3) had sex. Staff having sex with residents is against company policy and against the employees' union agreement. (V3) had not worked here since January 3, 2025, as (V3) quit after I had suspended her after having reports that (V3) was bringing in CBD (Cannabidiol) gummies to the residents. On 1-31-25 at 2:10 PM R2 (R1's roommate) stated, I would hear or see (V3) and (R1) having sex almost every time (V3) worked. I would tell (V3) that it was going to catch up with her and (V3) was going to get fired. I would see (V3) bring in alcohol, vape pens, and weed to (R1). A couple times I heard (R1) say he did not want to have sex and (V3) told (R1) if he didn't want to have sex anymore she was not going to bring him in any more alcohol or vapes. It really bothered me that (R1 and V3) would have sex in my room. On 1-31-25 at 2:20 PM V6 (LPN) stated, On Saturday night (R1) showed me a video of (V3) performing oral sex on (R1). I was not sure if it was consensual. It is not ethical and against company policy for a staff member to have sex with a resident. (R1) said (V3) had been having sex with him for months. On 1-31-25 at 2:30 PM V7 (R1's Primary Physician) stated, (R1) should not be subjected to sex from a staff member. That is unethical and abuse. Staff should not be bringing in drugs or alcohol to the residents. On 1-31-25 at 4:40 PM V12 (CNA) stated, Either last Saturday or Sunday (R1) told me (V3) was having sex with (R1) while (V3) was working within the facility. (R1) sent a video on Monday to my (social media) and I saw (V3's) face plain as day, in (R1's) bed, performing oral sex on (R1). That is not okay. On 1-31-25 at 5:10 PM V14 (CNA) stated, (R1) told me Sunday night that (V3) was having sex with (R1) in his room with (R1's) roommates in the room. (R1) said for the past six months (V3) would bring him alcohol and THC edibles and have sex with (R1) while (V3) was supposed to be working. (R1) said (V3) had told him she (V3) was pregnant with his child and then told (R1) she had a miscarriage. That was terrible as (R1) has lost a child in the past and was very upset. It is not appropriate for staff to be bringing in drugs and alcohol to the residents or have sex with the residents. (R1) sent me a video on my (social media) and the video was (V3's) face and (V3) was giving (R1) a blow**b while in (R1's) bed. There was also a picture of (V3) in the facility's shower room. (V3) had her shirt raised, exposing her breasts to (R1). (V3) was manipulating (R1). On 2-1-25 at 12:00 PM V13 (LPN) stated, (R1) showed me a video on Monday night of (V3) performing oral sex on (R1). It was disgusting. I could see (R1's) face in the video and could tell by the surrounding they (R1 and V3) were in (R1's) bed. (R1) said (V3) would bring (R1) in alcohol and drugs for sex. (R1) said (V3) would have sex with him almost every night she worked. (R1) seemed upset while telling me about it. That is so inappropriate. Staff should never have sex with residents. On 2-1-25 at 1:00 PM V11 (CNA) stated, (R1) sent me a video on (social media) of (V3) giving (R1) a blow**b. I could tell it was (V3) on the video. Staff should not have sex with residents. On 2-4-25 the surveyor confirmed through interview and record review that the facility took the following actions to remove the Immediate Jeopardy: 1. The Administrator (V1) or designee immediately ensured the safety and well-being of the (R1). V3 was no longer employed with the facility as of 1-7-25. 2.

F886L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on record review and interview the facility failed to follow up on staff and resident COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) laboratory (lab) reports within 48 hours once an outbreak of COVID-19 was identified and failed to initiate alternative testing procedures when experiencing a delay in obtaining lab reports to prevent further [CONDITION(S)] transmission of COVID-19. These failures resulted in COVID-19 positive staff working directly with the residents and residents with COVID-19 not being isolated promptly, causing an outbreak of COVID-19 within the facility. These failures have the potential to affect all 92 residents. These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the immediacy was removed on 1-26-22, the facility remains out of compliance at Severity level II as the facility continues to POC (rapid point of care) COVID-19 test all residents and staff who have not had COVID in the last 90 days every three to seven days until there are no new cases for 14 days, continues to implement their revised COVID-19 Testing policy, and continues to implement their Quality Improvement auditing tool regarding compliance with COVID-19 testing every week for three months. Findings include: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Interim Final Rule, CMS-3401-IFC, Reference QSO (Quality Safety and Oversight)-20-38-NH (Nursing Home) Additional Policy and Regulatory Revisions in Response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency related to Long-Term Care (LTC) Facility Testing Requirement Memorandum dated 9-10-21 documents, This rule establishes LTC Facility Testing Requirements for staff and residents and provides guidance for facilities to meet the new requirements. To enhance efforts to keep COVID-19 from entering and spreading through nursing homes, facilities are required to test residents and staff based on parameters and a frequency set forth by the HHS (Health and Human Services) Secretary. Facilities can meet the testing requirements through the use of rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostic testing devices or through an arrangement with an offsite laboratory. POC testing is diagnostic testing that is performed at or near the site of resident care. Facilities without the ability to conduct COVID-19 POC testing should have arrangement with a laboratory to conduct tests with rapid reporting of results (example within 48 hours) should be selected to rapidly inform infection prevention initiatives and limit transmission. If the 48-hour turn-around time cannot be met due to community testing supply shortages, limited access or inability of laboratories to process tests within 48 hours, the facility should have documentation of its efforts to obtain quick turnaround test results with the identified laboratory or laboratories and contact with the local and state health departments. The Facility's Infection Control Policy and Procedure for COVID-19 Facility Response Strategy dated 1-21-22 and the facility's Laboratory Services Agreement with [MEDICATION(S)] Labs (Laboratories) dated 8-24-20 does not include any documentation or policies to address facility COVID-19 testing requirements to ensure quick reporting of results (within 48 hours), and/or measures to implement if COVID-19 test results are not back within 48 hours.

R60's [CONDITION(S)] COVID rt-PCR Detection lab and the facility's resident line listing documents R60's lab was collected on 1-5-22 and reported to the facility on [DATE] (eight days after collection) that R60 was positive for COVID. This same line listing documents R60 was not isolated for COVID until 1-13-22. The Local Health Department's Call Report/Notes dated 1-5-22 document the health department requested a comprehensive line listing of all facility associated cases since the outbreak testing response began from V1 (Administrator). The Local Health Departments Call Report/Notes dated 1-10-22 document the health department requested a line listing again from V1. The Local Health Departments Call Report/Notes dated 1-13-22 document the health department still had not received a line listing from V1, and a request was emailed to V1 to provide the health department with a line listing by Friday 1-14-22. The facility's CMS Resident Census and Conditions of Resident Form 672 dated 1-23-22 and signed by V2 (Infection Preventionist) documents 64 residents ambulate independently. The facility's Daily Census Log dated 1-23-22 documents 92 residents currently reside within the facility. On 1-23-22 at 10:25 AM V2 (Infection Control Preventionist) stated, The lab has not been getting us our COVID lab results for at least three to seven days after we obtain the test. I did not know the lab was having problems getting the labs processed until 1-7-22. The lab told me that one of their machines was broke down. At that point I only rapid tested residents and staff who had symptoms of COVID. I did not rapid test any other staff or residents and I did not try to get another lab to process COVID labs. I have never spoke to the health department to get guidance on what to do if we are not receiving our COVID-19 lab results within 48 hours. I had enough rapid tests (POC) to test everyone. I am only one person and did not have the time. I did not think about isolating the residents that the positive staff and positive residents would have had direct contact with. I did not isolate these residents until I received a positive COVID test result. On 1-24-21 at 11:00 AM V32 (Facility's Lab Account Representative) stated, The facility knew January second that one of the lab's machines broke down and the facility's COVID-19 results over the next several weeks would be delayed. On 1-25-22 at 10:00 AM V2 stated, I do not believe our facility policies or our lab contract includes policies on what to do if a COVID-19 lab report does not return within 48 hours. I did not know CMS S&C letters even existed regarding testing procedures. On 1-25-22 at 1:40 PM V2 stated V4, V8, V16, V17, V20, V21, V22, V23, V24, V25, and V28 were never quarantined or removed from work for COVID-19 positive results because their positive lab results were not received by the facility until five to six days later after taking their test and these same staff members could have worked all hallways with all resident's while being positive with COVID-19. On 1-25-22 at 10:10 AM V1 (Administrator) verified that the facility's infection control policies do not include policies on what to do if a COVID-19 lab report does not return within 48 hours and the facility does not have a contract with the laboratory including an arrangement to obtain rapid COVID-19 lab results. I did not know anything about the CMS S&C letter regarding testing procedures. On 1/24/2022 at 10:25 am V2 stated when COVID-19 first started a long time ago it took forever to get results. The facility normally gets test results in 3-7 days and that 7 days is too long and not acceptable to wait for COVID-19 test results. V2 stated the lab was having difficulties and she was unaware of the difficulties until 1/7/2022. On 1/25/2021 at 9:20 am V29 (Vice President of Operations) stated the labs for COVID-19 testing have always been seven days behind and are like that in all of his buildings. On 1-25-22 at 2:20 PM V33 (Local Health Department Representative) stated, The facility never did inform the health department that they were not receiving COVID-19 test results timely or ask for guidance on what to do since they were not receiving their test results timely. I did not receive a line listing from the facility that residents or staff were even positive for COVID-19 until 1-14-22 at 3:27 PM, which was way after the outbreak. If I would have known I would have told the facility to use a private lab or do rapid testing (POC) on everyone while waiting on the results. I have provided the facility with links and contacts to local labs and have sent all the guidance and S&C letters from CMS to the facility, so the facility should have been aware that lab results should be back within 48 hours. We (the health department) were trying to figure out why there was such a huge outbreak of COVID-19 within the facility, and now I know that it was because there was no follow-up with positive COVID-19 labs getting back timely and staff and residents were allowed to have contact with other residents and staff while being positive for COVID-19. I have never once heard from V2 regarding anything to do with the delay in lab results, or regarding anything with the facility's COVID-19 outbreak. An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 1-25-22 at 5:02 PM. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 1-1-22 when the first resident (R90's) PCR COVID-19 test results came back to the facility four days later (1-1-22) positive after being at the lab since 12-28-21. Once the facility was aware of R90's delayed lab results the facility failed follow up, on multiple future testing dates, staff and resident PCR COVID-19 lab test results within 48 hours, resulting in staff and residents who were COVID-19 positive having direct contact with the rest of the staff and residents within the building for five to eight days after their PCR COVID-19 test collection dates. During the period of waiting for the lab results, the facility failed to initiate alternative testing procedures (POC COVID-19 testing) or obtain alternate lab vendors to process PCR COVID-19 tests when experiencing the delay in obtaining lab reports to prevent the further [CONDITION(S)] transmission of COVID-19 to the rest of the residents and staff. On 1-26-22 at 9:40 AM V1 (Administrator) and V29 (Director of Operations) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy. The surveyor confirmed through observation, interview and record review that the facility took the following actions to remove the Immediate Jeopardy: 1. V2 continued to conduct POC (rapid point of care) COVID-19 testing of all residents and staff who have not had COVID in the last 90 days every three to seven days until there are no new cases for 14 days. 2. The QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) committee reviewed and revised the COVID-19 testing policy. 3. V35 (Registered Nurse/Chief Nursing Officer) completed in-service training on 1-26-22 with the Administrator, Director of Nursing, and Infection Preventionist regarding measures to initiate when COVID-19 Rt-PCR test results are not back to the facility within 48 hours and current CMS COVID-19 Long Term Care testing requirements. 4. The facility created a Quality Improvement auditing tool regarding compliance with COVID-19 testing that will be implemented every week for three months by the Director of Nursing. Completion Date 1-26-22.

All the actions the facility failed to do were required by the facility's Abuse Policy. This has the potential to affect all 102 residents residing in the facility. These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 03/06/14 at 6:10PM, the facility remains out of compliance at a severity level two as the facility continues to educate management and staff on the abuse reporting policies and procedures and continues to monitor residents for any complaints or signs of abuse. Findings include: A facility Abuse Policy dated 1-1-2012 documents, "Verbal abuse is defined as any use of oral, written or gestured language that willfully includes disparaging and derogatory terms to residents, or within hearing distance. Examples of verbal abuse include threats of harm or saying things to harm a resident. When a report is made of suspected abuse of a resident indicating an involvement of an employee, the employee should be suspended pending an investigation. It is the responsibility of all employees to report any incident of suspected or witnessed abuse immediately to the Administrator. It is the responsibility of the Administrator to immediately initiate an investigation of the allegations, and report any finding to the Illinois Department of Public Health." On 3-4-14 at 1:45 p.m., E5 (CNA) stated E5 knew something about E1, E3, and E42 being mean to R1, but could not remember specifics. E5 stated E5 reported the allegation to E2 (Director of Nursing/DON) around a month ago. On 3-4-14 at 1:50 p.m., R1 stated about a month and a half ago, E17 (CNA) notified E1 (Administrator) and E3 (Care Plan Coordinator) about verbal abuse that occurred from E42 towards R1. On 3-4-14 at 2:40 p.m., E17 (CNA) stated on either 1-23-14 or 1-24-14, E42 was verbally threatening to R1. E17 did not report the occurance to E2 (DON) and E3 (Care Plan Coordinator) until the next day. E17 stated E42 worked the rest of that night and another night, and then resigned. E17 stated E1 (Administrator) and E3 talked to R1 following the allegation against E42. On 3-4-14 at 2:25 p.m., E2 (DON) stated approximately one to two months ago, E2 was notified by E17 that R1 was afraid of E42. E2 stated R1 felt threatened by E42.

On 3-4-14 at 3:05 p.m., E1 stated E1 has never received any allegations of abuse involving E42 or R1. E1 stated E1 could not find any documentation regarding E17 and E42. E1 (Administrator) went through her desk drawer and filing cabinet and could not find or provide an abuse investigation or evidence of the state agency being notified of R1's alleged verbal abuse against E42. On 3-5-14 at 11:50 a.m., E5 (CNA) stated R1 reported to E5 that E1 (Administrator) and E3 (Care Plan Coordinator) went into R1's room last night (3-4-14) and were very rude. E5 stated R1 felt like E1 and E3 were nazis. E5 stated R1 states, "You would not believe how (E1 and E3) talked to me. E5 stated E5 does not know who to report this allegation to since E1 is who R1 made the allegation against, and E1 is the Abuse Coordinator. On 3-5-14 at 2:00 p.m., E5 stated R1 reported to E5 that E43 (Social Service Director) and E1 interviewed R1 regarding the verbal abuse allegations from E1 and E3. E5 states, "Isn't that confrontational that the accused abuser confronted the resident that accused them?" On 3-5-14 at 12:20 p.m., E1 (Administator) verified E1 and E3 talked to R1 last night about the allegations made against E42 yesterday.

F441L · Immediate jeopardy, widespread

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have in place and functioning a collaborative infection control program between nursing, housekeeping, and laundry services to prevent the spread of communicable infections to residents who are immuno-compromised and at risk for infection. Those failures include: failure to demonstrate knowledge of and implementation of isolation precautions to prevent cross contamination of communicable infections; failure to educate staff and visitors on current standards of infection control practices during and following the provision of care; failure to have infection control policies and procedures accessible to staff; failure to adequately monitor infections; and failure to effectively clean and disinfect environmental surfaces, laundry, and resident equipment. These failures resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. These failures have the potential to affect all 102 residents residing in the facility. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 3/5/14, the facility remains out of compliance at severity level two. Additional time is needed for the facility to complete staff infection control policies and procedures, monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of protocols, and for oversight visits. Findings include: 1. R1's wound culture dated 10-30-13, documents R1 has the following organisms in the coccyx wound: Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, and Staphyloccus aureus.

On 2-24-14 at 11:05 a.m., E5 (Certified Nursing Aide/CNA) stated R1 is to have "universal precautions" used when caring for R5. E5 stated only gloves are to be worn when caring for R5, because gown and masks are only used with residents that are in droplet isolation. E5 states, "I do not know what infections, or where, (R1's) infections are. I have worked medical records for six months and have not been working on the floor with the residents." On 2-24-14 at 11:15 a.m., E7 (Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN/R1's first shift nurse) states, "I am not sure what type of isolation (R1) is in or what type of organism (R1) has. I have not been working this hallway since recently." On 2-24-14 at 1:15 p.m., E5 applied gloves, washed wound drainage off of R1's bilateral buttock and back ( from R1's uncovered wound), removed R1's bed sheet and bedpad (soaked in wound drainage) from R1's bed, held the linens, soiled in drainage, against E5's clothing (without a gown on), and disposed of the drainage soaked linens in a red bag. E5 stated E5 did not need to wear an isolation gown because R1 was only in contact isolation. R1 then asked E5 to use the bedpan, so E5 applied a new pair of gloves and placed R1 on the bedpan. On 2-24-14 at 1:25 p.m., E5 removed R1 from the bedpan, washed feces from R1's buttock with washcloths, then, using the same soiled gloves, touched R1's catheter bag, right siderail, over the bed table, and R1's gown, before removing the soiled gloves. E5 then, using the same soiled gloves, took the bedpan ( filled with feces), emptied the feces into R1's toilet, washed the feces soiled bedpan in R1's sink, wiped the bedpan out with a paper towel, and placed the bedpan in a trash bag on the floor.

On 2-25-14 at 9:50 a.m., E25 (CNA) states, "We are never told why the residents are in isolation. I did not use a gown when caring for (R1) earlier because there were no gowns in (R1's) room to use. I emptied (R1's) bedpan in the hopper, then sprayed the bedpan and hopper down with a disinfectant spray. I did not use bleach." On 2-24-14 at 2:20 p.m., E18 (Registered Nurse/R1's 2nd shift nurse ) states, "I cannot tell you what type of isolation (R1) is in. I would have to ask the infectionist." On 2-25-14 at 10:05 a.m., E14 (LPN) states, "We do not have policy and procedure manuals to use. All policies are kept in the Administrator's office." On 2/25/14 at 9:40 a.m., E1 (Administrator) stated the facility does not have a policy on how to set up the different types of isolation rooms. E1 stated "you have to remember we are a new company and don't have all of our policies and procedures yet. E1 verified there were no policy and procedure manuals accessible to staff.

On 3/10/14 at 9:40 a.m., E3 (MDS/Care Plan Coordinator), stated "as long as the glucometer is sanitized with bleach wipes, it is ok to use with a hepatitis resident. I can't answer if it is ok to use alcohol pads or not I'm not sure. I would not use an alcohol pad between glucometer uses on different residents. Our policy calls for (bleach disinfectant) wipes to be used with each resident between glucometer checks." An undated maintaining the blood glucose meters policy documents the following: A blood glucose monitor should be cleaned and disinfected between each resident test with a pre-moistened wipe/towel of 1 ml (milliliter) or 5-6% bleach and 9 ml of water to achieve a 1:10 dilution; A glucose monitor should be allowed to air dry for a minimum of one minute at room temperature following cleaning of the monitor. 3.

On 2/24/14 at 2:00 p.m., E4 (Licensed Practical Nurse), stated "(R3) is on droplet precautions at this time. (R3) was on droplet isolation at admission because the hospital discharging (R3) had communicated that (R3) was on isolation but there were no reports of what (R3) was on isolation for and no cultures present. No cultures were done because (R3) was not symptomatic. We normally do not reculture residents unless they are symptomatic with the amount of highly resistant bugs around here. (R3) has had highly resistant wound cultures but droplet covers all of those In December of 2013 (R3) had positive cultures and they were treated but not recultured. I am unsure of what (R3) is currently on antibiotics for I was not aware of any current infections.

On 2/25/14 at 9:20, E12 (housekeeping/laundry), stated "when a resident is on droplet precautions we use gown, mask, and gloves. E12 is unaware of why (R3) is on isolation. We use Don-O-Mite CF foaming disinfectant deodorizing cleaner in all rooms to clean surfaces and DON Miro Spray heavy duty glass cleaner to clean glass and mirrors. There are not different cleaners for different organisms. Mop water and mop head are changed every two rooms but if in isolation I change mop water and mop head with each one. I work all the halls as a housekeeper and laundry." On 2/25/14 at 9:40 a.m. E1 (Administrator), stated "we do not have a written policy for specific organisms for isolation.

The mop heads are brought back to laundry in barrels. I put the setting on washing machine to towels because it provides bleach and soap. All mop heads regardless if they were in isolation come back in the the same bag and barrel you can't tell the difference. The mop heads go thru one washing cycle. All isolation red bag linens go thru two washing cycles on the isolation settings. If we wash items more than once we will put on our laundry load log the number of times washed. This log tells what we wash with each load." On 2/25/14 at 12:10 p.m., E13 (housekeeping/laundry supervisor), stated "the policy is to wash mop heads on isolation setting but the towels setting is ok because it has bleach in it.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to train staff in the use of emergency manual resuscitator bags to ventilate four of four residents (R3, R12, R16 and R17) in the sample of 21 and three residents (R49, R56 and R106) on the supplemental sample, all of whom are ventilator dependent. The facility also failed to train all staff in emergency preparedness evacuation for all residents. This failure had the potential to affect all 102 residents living at the facility and resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy. While the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on 3/7/13, the facility remains out of compliance at Severity Level Two. Additional time is needed for the facility to monitor the effectiveness of the inservices and implementation of the newly revised policies and procedures for emergency evacuation. Findings include: E29 (Respiratory Therapist) stated on 3/5/14 at 12:15 PM that E29 has worked at the facility for 12 to [AGE] years and, "There has never been a drill done for evacuating this Unit (C Hall Ventilator Unit.) I think we would use our generator policy for evacuation." E5 (Certified Nurse Aide (CNA)) stated on 3/5/14 at 12:05 PM, "It would take all of our staff to just get the C Hall residents out for evacuation. We have never had an inservice or drill on evacuation since I have worked here." The Nurse Aide Roster dated 3/4/14, which the facility completed for the survey, indicated that E5 was hired in May 2009. E11 (CNA) stated on 3/6/14 at 11:30 AM that E11 has worked at the facility since October 2013, normally working on the C Hall. E11 said that since E11 was hired, E11 has not received any training on using the manual resuscitator bag. E11 said that in order to work on C Hall, "it is a must to know how to use it." E11 said that E11 knows how to use the bag because E11 also worked at the facility about two years ago, and E11 received training on how to use it then. E11 stated, "Quite a few CNA's that work down on C Hall do not know how to use them." E11 also stated that, "Adequate training is not done for the whole building." E30 (CNA) stated on 3/6/14 at 10:05 AM, "I have not been trained to use a (manual resuscitator bag) on a ventilator patient. I have been here about one month and one week. I do not even know what that is." The Nurse Aide Roster dated 3/4/14, which the facility completed for the survey, indicated that E30 was hired on 2/11/14. E4 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated on 3/6/14 at 10:15 AM, "We have seven ventilator dependent residents on C Hall. I have worked here eight years , and we have never done a drill to evacuate the building. I have not seen a plan of the procedure to evacuate the residents. I think there would be an issue in having enough people to get out (evacuate) C Hall residents. We would have to call 911 because the ventilators would only have a 30 minute backup, then they (ventilator dependent residents) would need to be bagged. [MEDICAL CONDITION](resident with a [MEDICAL CONDITION]) has an emergency kit with a bag at the bedside." E29 (Respiratory Therapist) stated on 3/6/14 that the last staff inservice involving the use of manual resuscitator bags was on 11/1/13. E29 said that administrative staff have not been regularly notifying E29 when newly hired CNA's are to start working on C Hall. E29 stated that E29 thought that information on the use of the bags should be included in the staff "hire packet." E29 said, "I feel all CNA's and nurses in the building should be inserviced on using the (manual resuscitator bag.) E22 (Maintenance Supervisor) stated on 3/6/14 at 9:20 AM, " We have not had an evacuation drill in the facility in the last three years since I have been here. We have policies and procedures in place of how to get them (the residents) out and where to take them (the residents.) Ventilator patients would be bagged and taken out to the parking lot, then the hospital would provide ambulances for transportation." E1 (Administrator) stated on 3/6/14 at 1 PM that the facility has an evacuation policy/procedure, but that the policy does not delineate how often the procedure is to be practiced. E1 stated, "I would want to do it (evacuation drill) annually. I do not know when this was last done here (at the facility.) I came last May." E1 also stated that there was no specific evacuation policy/procedure for evacuation of ventilator patients. E1 said that Nurses and CNA's would be responsible for manually ventilating the ventilator dependent residents in an emergency if the back-up batteries in the mechanical ventilators failed. E1 said that CNA's are to receive manual resuscitator bag training annually and "as soon as possible for new hires." The facility's undated Emergency Disaster Manual addressed the issue of an emergency building evacuation on the third page of the document. The manual gave general instructions for evacuation, but provided no procedural instructions to staff for evacuation of the C hall ventilator unit nor any information as to how often building evacuation drills are to be done. A facility resident room roster dated 3/3/14 and provided by the facility indicated that the facility currently had seven ventilator dependent residents on C Hall (R3, R12, R16, R17, R49, R56 and R106) The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) form # 672 completed by the facility indicated that the resident census was currently 102. The Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 3/6/14 at 5:15 PM, when E1 and E46 (Corporate Nurse) were notified. The Immediate Jeopardy began on 2/11/14 when E30 (CNA) was hired, and the facility failed to train E30 on the emergency use of a manual resuscitator bag. The surveyor confirmed through interview and record review that the facility took the following actions to remove the Immediate Jeopardy: 1. Inservicing done by Respiratory Therapists on the use of a manual resuscitator bag on a ventilator resident began immediately on 3/6/14 and continued until all Nurses and CNA's coming to work on shifts at the facility were trained by 3/7/14. 2. On 3/7/14, the evacuation policy and procedure was reviewed and revised to include the emergency use of a manual resuscitator bag on a ventilator resident. 3. The facility will perform a simulated full evacuation of residents by 4/30/14.

On 3-1-14 from 5:30 a.m.- 7:00 a.m., R1's coccyx wound remained uncovered with large amount of drainage soaking R1's bedpads and sheets. On 3-1-14 at 8:30 a.m., E7 (LPN/R1's 1st shift nurse) stated E7 was notified of R1's wound being uncovered around 7:30 a.m., so E7 treated and covered the wound at that time.

To prove we have done the treatments we sign off the Treatment Administration record. I am unsure of why the Treatment Administration record has not been signed at all from 2/14/14, start of treatment, to present for treatment to right buttock. On 2/25/14 at 1:50 p.m., E11 (Certified Nursing Assistant), states yes the 15 minute visual check list states that R3 was on her right side starting at 10:00 a.m. today. Two hours later we turned her at 1:00 p.m. to float her on her back. On 2/25/14 at 2:45 p.m., E2 (Director of Nursing), states no weekly pressure ulcer logs are available for 11/19/18, 11/26/13, 12/19/13, 1/2/14, 1/16/14, and 1/30/14. If they're not there they weren't done. On 2/26/14 at 2:35 p.m., E2 (Director of Nursing), states patients on turning and repositioning program should be turned and repositioned every two hours there is no reason why a patient should go three hours without being repositioned. On 2/27/14 at 9:30 a.m., R3 lying on her left side. Record review of !5 minute visual checks dated 2/27/14 at 9:30 a.m., document no positioning or visual checks from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Record review of Repositioning and Turning policy (date unknown), documents Policy: It is the policy of the Nursing Department that residents, unable to reposition themselves, will be turned and positioned every one or two hours, in accordance with their needs, using a written care plan as determined by licensed staff. Record review of Treatment Admistration record dated 2/2014, documents patient has a treatment to her right buttock that was ordered on [DATE]. No documentation is present that this treatment has been completed since it was ordered with no nurse initials. On 2/27/14 at 9:45 a.m., Z4 (Registered Dietician), states I am aware that R3 is not getting the full 1440 milliliters/24 hour period I have discussed with the facility shutting R3's feeding off for two hours during the date and increasing the rate but staff was concerned of her tolerance. The decrease in calories from not getting the total 1440 milliliters may contribute to weight loss and worsened pressure ulcer but is not definite. She should receive 1728 calories/day from her current feeding and 180 calories from prostat. Her daily requirements are 1700-1995 calories/day. On 2/27/14 at 1:50 p.m., E5 (Certified Nursing Assistant), states R3 is up in wheelchair. We got R3 up at 10:45 a.m.and should lay back down around 2:30 p.m. R3 has two pillows on each side of R3 floating. R3 will be up almost four hours. We changed pillows at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. to reposition R3 but we don't document it we just do it. On 2/27/14 at 3:00 p.m., Z1 (Physician), states I was not aware that R3 was not receiving the total amount of feeding in the day like R3 was prescribed. That is not desirable. I certainly expect the staff to be turning and positioning R3 every two hours with her inability to reposition herself and with her pressure ulcers. It is not desirable for R3 to not be turned and positioned every two hours the more times she is not positioned the worse the pressure ulcers could get. Yes these factors could contribute to her worsening pressure ulcer .
