Resident 118 was admitted to the facility in 7/2020 with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease. She/he passed away in the facility in 9/2020. A 7/29/20 FRI revealed Resident 2 sat in her/his wheelchair in the family room on 7/29/20 at 4:20 PM. Resident 118 stood close to Resident 2. Resident 2 hit Resident 118 on the arm and grabbed her/his hand. The FRI revealed staff were interviewed and the incident was confirmed. The facility was asked to provide any information to demonstrate the incident was reviewed by QAPI. No documentation was provided. Resident 8 was admitted to the facility in 11/2019 with diagnoses including major depressive disorder and mild cognitive impairment. The facility's 11/21/20 FRI revealed Resident 8 and Resident 117 were in a shared room. On 11/21/20 at 4:00 AM Resident 117 was heard by staff yelling, You don't belong here! Get out! Resident 8 reported to the nurse Resident 117 hit her/him on the head several times hard. The FRI revealed both residents' beds were in close proximity to each other separated by a curtain and Resident 117 reached through the curtain to hit Resident 8. It was documented on the FRI Resident 117 had .severe dementia with delusional episodes, this instance also was delusional. The facility was asked to provide any information to demonstrate the incident was reviewed by QAPI. No documentation was provided. On 11/3/21 a FRI was received which indicated Staff 4 (CNA) observed Resident 67 standing next to Resident 68 in a common area. Staff 4 approached the residents and observed Resident 67 was fondling Resident 68's right breast with her/his right hand. Within two hours of the incident Resident 68 was placed on one-on-one care during the hours of 8:00 AM through 10:00 PM. On 7/1/22 a FRI was received which indicated Staff 5 (CNA) observed Resident 68 sitting in the dining room. Resident 67 entered the dining room pushing her/his spouse (Resident 167) in her/his wheelchair. Resident 67 stopped next to Resident 68, put her/his hand down Resident 68's shirt and fondled her/his breasts. No facility investigation was received. A Social Services Note dated 9/14/22 indicated Resident 67 was on the Larkspur unit (A Residential Care Facility located on the building's second floor) for an activity where he attempted to approach Resident 68 but staff intervened and prevented the resident from approaching Resident 68. The note indicated, had staff not been there to intervene, another incident might have occurred. On 2/10/22 at 9:44 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) was asked if the two incidents of sexual abuse involving Resident 67 and Resident 68 were reviewed by the QAPI committee. Staff 1 stated they were not reviewed at the committee level because it would have violated the residents' privacy to discuss it in that group. 12/15/21 QAPI Minutes regarding the 11/3/21 sexual abuse incident included the following: A. Incident Report i. One alleged sexual abuse between residents ii. Interventions included a 1:1 [on the victim Resident 68] iii. Did not report but was documented well iv. The sexual abuse is not of concern at this time On 2/13/23 at 10:35 AM Staff 2 (DNS) confirmed the 7/1/22 incident of sexual abuse was not reviewed at QAPI. On 2/13/23 at 11:02 AM Staff 1 (Administrator) stated the facility did not consistently review resident-to-resident incidents at QAPI. The facility's QAPI Committee's systemic failure to address incidents of resident abuse by tracking the incidents and putting corrective action in place put current and future residents at risk for abuse. There was no evidence the QAPI committee created a formal action plan to monitor, correct and prevent resident abuse. The facility failed to collect relevant data and monitor their system for resident abuse. This resulted in a lack of adequate action to correct the systemic high-risk issue which created a situation where residents were likely to experience abuse. Utilizing the reasonable person concept, Resident 68 would have suffered from agitation, depression and trauma from Resident 67's sexual abuse and continued targeting in her/his new facility where she/he was moved to keep her/him safe from Resident 67. On 2/13/23 at 2:25 PM the facility was notified of the immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation and an IJ removal plan was requested. On 2/13/23 at 2:25 PM an acceptable IJ removal plan was provided by the facility which included: - The QAPI would review a summary of all resident-to-resident incidents and allegations of abuse since the time of the last QAPI meeting. - Resident-to-resident incidents and allegations of abuse will be tracked and reviewed for trends, A performance improvement plan (PIP) will be created for any identified trends.

At 10:49 AM Staff 1 indicated via e-mail the facility did not complete investigations for the 7/1/22 sexual abuse incident. Utilizing the reasonable person concept Resident 68 would have likely suffered from agitation, depression and trauma from Resident 67's sexual abuse and continued targeting by Resident 67 in her/his new facility where she/he was moved to keep her/him safe from Resident 67. On 2/9/23 at 2:11 PM the facility was notified of the immediate jeopardy (IJ) situation and an IJ removal plan was requested.

F600J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to identify, assess and reassess ongoing resident sexual behaviors to ensure residents were free from sexual abuse for 2 of 3 sampled residents (#s 2 and 3) reviewed for abuse. This failure, Resident 1's sexual abuse of Resident 2 and Resident 3, was determined to be an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation. Findings include: Resident 1 admitted to the facility in (YEAR) with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Resident 2 and Resident 3 both admitted to the facility in (YEAR) with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. The 8/16/18 Comprehensive Care Plan indicated Resident 1 had behavioral expressions related to dementia with cognitive loss and verbalized sexual comments. On 11/9/18 interventions were revised to notify the nurse for verbal sexual comments during cares and showers. On 8/16/19 Resident 1 was assessed to have short term and long term memory problems, moderately impaired decision making skills, inattention, disorganized thinking and delusions. On 8/21/19 Physician order [REDACTED]. Review of Resident 1's medical record revealed from 8/28/19 through 10/2/19 Resident 1 displayed verbal and sexual behaviors with a focus on the female residents. Resident 1 followed them, touched their arms and shoulders, verbalized inappropriate sexual comments and attempted to place, her/his hand up a female residents shirt. The 10/11/19 Facility Investigation revealed on 10/8/19 Resident 1 rubbed Resident 2's shoulders and then moved her/his hands down Resident 2's chest and grabbed her/his breast. Staff 5 (CNA) intervened and removed Resident 1 from the immediate area. Resident 1 returned to the area and was observed again by Staff 5 to grab Resident 2's left breast. Resident 2 was escorted to her/his room and assessed for injury. The investigation indicated Resident 1 inappropriately touched Resident 2, had increased sexual verbalization and attention with a focus on female residents which coincided with the 8/21/19 antidepressant medication changes. The investigation concluded Resident 2 due to her/his cognitive loss, did not respond to Resident 1's sexual abuse. On 10/9/19 the Comprehensive Care plan was revised and instructed staff to keep Resident 1 away from Resident 2 and to inform Resident 1 no touching in public spaces if Resident 1 attempted to touch female residents. No revision to the plan of care was noted in (MONTH) or (MONTH) 2019. On 10/23/19 at 12:11 PM Staff 5 stated she was in the dining room on 10/8/19 providing 1:1 meal assistance to another resident when she looked over and observed Resident 1 grabbing Resident 2's breast. Staff 5 stated she called out Resident 1's name and she/he removed her/his hand from the breast. Staff 5 stated she went to Resident 1, moved her/him to the other side of the dining room as she could not leave the dining room and returned to the resident she was assisting. Staff 5 stated she looked over at Resident 2 and saw Resident 1 had returned to her/him and her/his hand was again on Resident 2's breast. Staff 5 stated another staff member entered the dining room and removed Resident 1. Progress Notes from 10/9/19 through 10/16/19 revealed Resident 1 received 1:1 supervision from 5:00 PM through 9:00 PM daily and continued to follow the female residents, verbalize sexual comments and required continued education concerning no touching and appropriate behaviors. The notes further revealed Resident 1 continued to verbalize sexual comments and require redirection from 10/17/19 through 10/22/19 throughout all three shifts. A 10/22/19 FRI indicated on 10/22/19 at 4:15 PM Staff 9 (RN) entered Resident 1 and Resident 3's room and observed Resident 1 with her/his hand on Resident 3's groin area. Resident 3 appeared to be asleep in her/his chair. Staff 9 proceeded to instruct Resident 1 to stop and removed Resident 1's hand from Resident 3's groin area. 1:1 supervision from 4:30 PM through 9:30 PM was initiated. The FRI indicated Resident 3 was unaware of Resident 1's physical touch to her/his groin area. On 10/23/19 at 5:15 PM Staff 9 stated she entered Resident 1 and Resident 3's room on 10/22/19 and observed Resident 1 had her/his left hand grabbed onto and rubbing Resident 3's groin area. Resident 3's eyes were closed. Staff 9 stated she intervened and immediately notified the DNS and 1:1 supervision was reinstated. Staff 9 stated she went back to assess Resident 3 and Resident 3 had no knowledge of the incident which occurred. The Comprehensive Care Plan was revised on 10/22/19 to instruct staff to keep Resident 1 away from Resident 3 and Resident 1 was to have a 1:1 caregiver from 4:30 PM through 9:30 PM. On 10/2319 at approximately 1:15 PM Staff 4 (LPN) stated after the CNA staff reported the 10/8/19 resident to resident incident to her Resident 1 was placed on alert, the staff were instructed to keep Resident 1 away from Resident 1 and 1:1 supervision was initiated. Staff 4 stated the 1:1 supervision was stopped after a few days because Resident 1 was doing well and Staff 1 (Administrator) did not feel the 1:1 supervision was required. On 10/23/19 at 8:55 AM and 1:30 PM Staff 7 (RNCM) and Staff 8 (RNCM) acknowledged the 10/8/19 resident to resident incident when Resident 1 grabbed Resident 2's breast twice. Staff 7 stated 1:1 supervision was initiated on 10/9/19 for four hours in the evening hours but was stopped after five or six days because staff did not observe continuing sexual behaviors. Staff 7 and Staff 8 acknowledged Resident 1's verbal sexual behaviors leading up to the 10/8/19 incident and stated the increase of physical sexual behaviors coincided with the antidepressant medication changes. Staff 7 stated she knew she needed to update Resident 1's plan of care but the information to ensure the female residents were safe from Resident 1's sexual behaviors was verbally passed from shift to shift instead. Staff 7 acknowledged the comprehensive care plan was not updated in (MONTH) or (MONTH) 2019 when Resident 1's verbal and physical sexual behaviors increased. Staff 7 verified the 10/22/19 resident to resident incident occurred at 4:15 PM when Resident 1 was observed with her/his hand on Resident 3's groin area. Staff 7 acknowledged 1:1 supervision was restarted from 4:30 PM through 9:30 PM. Staff 8 acknowledged Resident 1 displayed sexual behaviors on all shifts and not exclusively during the 4:30 PM through 9:30 PM time period. Staff 7 and Staff 8 acknowledged Residents 1 and 3 continued as roommates, a medication change was in process and the facility had revision ideas for the plan of care but nothing was put into place. On 10/23/19 at 4:32 PM the facility was informed of the identified Immediate Jeopardy for the failure to identify, assess and reassess ongoing resident sexual behaviors to ensure residents were free from sexual abuse. Some situations of abuse do not result in an observable physical injury or the psychosocial effects of abuse may not be immediately apparent. Other residents may not be able to speak due to a medical condition and/or cognitive impairment, cannot recall what has occurred, or may not express outward signs of physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. The sexual abuse by Resident 1 to Resident 2 and 3, using a reasonable person concept, was reasonable to assume Resident 2 and Resident 3 would have suffered from recurrent anxiety. Additionally, facility residents remained at risk. The facility failed to provide supervision and monitoring to ensure the safety of Resident 2 and other female residents after Resident 1's 8/28/19 initial and then ongoing sexual behavior. The facility failed to assess and reassess Resident 1's behavioral status and effects of the antidepressant medication changes. The facility failed to ensure the ongoing safety of Resident 3 and all facility residents after the 10/22/19 sexual abuse incident. These failures placed all facility residents at risk for sexual abuse. An IJ Abatement Plan was requested. On 10/23/19 at 7:13 PM the IJ Abatement Plan, was received and approved. The Plan included: Immediate Action: 1) Resident 1 was moved to a private room to create separation from other residents during sleeping hours. 2) 1:1 supervision was implemented 24 hours a day. 3) In consultation with Resident 1's physician, Resident 1 was prescribed [MEDICATION NAME] (antipsychotic medication) with the goal of addressing sexual aggression and to treat a possible underlying mental health condition. The medication was ordered and would start upon arrival to the facility. 4) Resident 1's family was contacted to update on the changes in care. 5) All interventions would be reviewed each business day by Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 7, Staff 8 and Staff 13 (Social Service Director) to determine effectiveness and make revisions as needed. 6) Resident 1 would be monitored for response to medication, including sedation. Education Content: Objective: Residents to be assessed, and care planned to ensure resident safety from sexual abuse. Education would be completed on 10/23/19 and 10/24/19 and would include: need to monitor, assess and reassess following antidepressant medication changes and related changes in behaviors with strong emphasis on sexually inappropriate behaviors. Behavior documentation. Documenting reassessments and revision of care plans for RNCMs. Licensed Nurses to inform RNCMs of indicated changes to care plan with strong emphasis on sexually inappropriate behaviors. Ensuring Interventions are appropriate and effective. Ongoing interventions included Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 7, Staff 8 and Staff 13 would review all new incident reports and implement needed interventions each business day. On 10/23/19 at 7:30 PM observation, interview and record review verified the IJ Abatement Plan immediate actions were in place. The facility was awaiting the arrival of Resident 1's newly ordered [MEDICATION NAME] and planned to administer it upon its arrival. On 10/24/19 at 11:40 AM the IJ Abatement Plan was reviewed for implementation. Observations, record reviews and staff interviews confirmed the Plan was completed.

F689G · Actual harm, isolated

Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to consistently ensure safety interventions were in place for 1 of 3 sampled residents (#1) who had a fall. As a result Resident 1 fell and sustained a scalp laceration. Findings include: Resident 1 was admitted to the facility in (MONTH) (YEAR) with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 11/4/17 a Fall Risk Assessment identified the resident was at high risk for falls related to a history of falls, medication use, memory issues, incontinence, gait impairment and drops in blood pressure. In (YEAR) Resident 1's care plan indicated the resident was at high risk for falls due to cognitive deficits with poor safety awareness, gait/balance problems, hallucinations and delusions, psychoactive drug use, vision/hearing problems, history of falls, incontinence, pain and occasional dizziness. The care plan interventions included to encourage the resident to wear non-skid footwear at all times, as much as she/he accepts, bed in lowest position and fall mat at bedside while unattended. On 12/4/17 a Fall incident report identified Resident 1 fell at 5:00 pm. Staff heard a crash and found Resident 1 lying on the floor with her/his head resting on the bottom bar of the room tray. The back of the resident's head was bleeding and it was cleansed and dressed to prevent further bleeding. Resident 1 was sent to the Emergency Department for stitches or staples for the laceration. The report identified Resident 1 was drowsy, had impaired memory and a gait imbalance when she/he ambulated without assistance to the bathroom and fell . The report identified the resident's fall mat was not in place at the bedside, she/he was not wearing non-skid socks, and while the bed was low, it was not in the lowest position. The facility determined the care plan was not followed as all interventions were not in place at the time of the fall. On 12/4/17 an Emergency Department procedure note indicated Resident 1 had a laceration repair on the scalp. There were no complications. In interview on 2/27/18 at 2:21 pm Staff 4 (LPN) reported Resident 1 was at high risk for falls and had frequent falls related to dementia with impulsiveness. On 12/4/17 she heard a crash and ran down the hall and into Resident 1's room and found her/him lying on the floor next to an over-bed tray table. It appeared the resident hit her/his head on the one of the table legs. There was a laceration to the back of the resident's head and she cleaned and dressed the wound, assessed the resident and sent her/him out to the hospital. The resident came back with staples but no [MEDICATION NAME] injury from the fall. Staff 4 reported she noticed at the time of the fall that the resident's fall mat was not in place but folded up and at the end of the bed. In interview on 3/2/18 at 9:21 am Staff 5 (CNA), who worked with Resident 1 on 12/4/17 during the day, stated it was a busy day with a lot of commotion between day and evening shifts. She reported that before the end of her shift she weighed the resident using a mechanical lift.
