    Based on interview, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from sexual abuse for three of six residents reviewed for abuse (Resident (R) 2, R3, and R6). Specifically, R1 displayed inappropriate sexual behaviors towards others on 6/20/2025 when she grabbed a male housekeeper's private area (groin) and buttocks. The resident's inappropriate sexual behavior towards staff members progressed to resident's on the South Pavillion unit sustaining sexual abuse. Even though the facility was aware of R1's inappropriate sexual behavior and her abuse of other residents, the facility failed to implement any interventions to protect the residents who resided on the unit.
