Based on facility policy review, clinical record review, review of facility documentation, staff interview, and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from sexual abuse for one of six sampled residents (Resident 1) and on one of two nursing units (North Hall). This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation. Findings include: Review of the facility policy entitled, Abuse Prohibition, last reviewed September 23, 2025, revealed that sexual abuse was defined as non-consensual sexual contact of any type with a patient and included, but was not limited to, sexual harassment, sexual coercion, or sexual assault. The facility was to implement an abuse prohibition program through investigation of incidents and allegations and protection of residents during investigations. The facility was to assign a representative from social services to monitor the resident's feelings and involvement in the investigation. Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 had diagnoses that included muscle weakness. Review of the Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS, a periodic evaluation of resident care needs) dated January 5, 2026, revealed that the resident was interviewable and did not have cognitive impairment. Review of the care plan revealed that the resident was dependent on staff for activities of daily living (ADLs) which included personal hygiene. Review of facility documentation revealed that on January 21, 2026, the resident reported that on the evening shift of January 20, 2026, nurse aide (NA) 1 washed her in a circular motion during incontinence care and stated, Do you like that? twice and flicked his tongue at her. The resident yelled at him to not say anything like that again. Review of facility documentation dated January 21, 2026, revealed that NA 2 wrote a statement, which indicated that on January 21, 2026, at 6:30 a.m., Resident 1 reported that during evening care the previous night, January 20, 2026, NA 1 cleaned her perineal (area located between the thighs) area in a circular motion and asked if she liked that. When the resident asked him to repeat himself to ensure she understood, he stated, Do you like that? a second time and flicked his tongue at her. Review of nursing schedules revealed that on January 20, 2026, NA 1 was assigned to work on the South Hall nursing unit, where Resident 1 resided. Clinical record review revealed that on January 20, 2026, NA 1 provided ADL care to Resident 1. In an interview on January 29, 2026, at 11:30 a.m., Resident 1 reported that during incontinence care, NA 1 folded and balled up multiple cleansing wipes at the start of care and used them to rub her vagina in an area she referred to as the man in the boat, which she stated was the area below the pubic hair, where the lips begin, in a circular motion. NA 1 then asked, Do you like that? When the resident responded with What? NA 1, stated Do you like it?
