F323J · Immediate jeopardy, isolated

A. Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' environment remained free of non-consensual sexual interactions between residents on a secured unit (Legacy Lane), which resulted in two cognitively impaired residents being involved in two sexual interactions (8/28/2014 and 9/2/2014) with each other. (Resident #C and Resident #D) The Immediate Jeopardy began on 8/28/2014 at 10:10 p.m., when Resident #D was observed with his hand up Resident #C's shirt and was grabbing her breast. The Executive Director, Director of Health Services, Assistant Director of Health Services and the Clinical Support Nurse were notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 9/24/2014 at 1:30 p.m. B. Based on interviews and record reviews the facility failed to provide supervision to prevent elopement on the secured dementia unit for 1 of 1 residents reviewed for elopement.

Staff did remove her from his room. (See nursing documentation) Also, added intervention for this res to utilize onsies outfits so she can't remove her own clothing/other residents would be unable to remove them either...." A facility form titled Clinically at Risk Individual Monitoring Sheet dated 9/4/2014, for Resident #D indicated, "Reason for discussion: Behavior/altercation 8/28/2014 and 9/2/2014... 8/28/2014 res (Resident #D) had another res (not identified) on his lap c (with) his hand up her shirt grabbing her breast. res (sic) were redirected c (with) success. 9/2/2014 increased Prozac (antidepressant medication) to 40 mg QD (daily) et (and) psych consult. 9/2/2014, another res (Resident #C) came into his rm (room) et (and) res were found in bed. 0 (No) injuries et (and) resident were conseal (consensual/sic).

Resident #C was examined by LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) #4. Resident #C's Nurses notes dated 9/2/2014, and signed by LPN #4 indicated, "... 8:15 a.m., Nurse exam res (resident). res. was resistant when removing pants. Noted discharge of yellow/thick const.

Review of Resident #C and Resident #D's Nurses Notes and the Skilled Nursing Assessment and Data Collection forms dated from 8/28/2014-9/23/2014, lacked documentation which indicated the residents were closely monitored. On 9/22/14 at 2:04 p.m., interview with Medical Records/LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) indicated, if sexual interaction were not consensual it is abuse. I would separate them, notify the nurse on duty, Executive Director, Director of Health Services, and physician. With Resident #C and Resident #D we had a little situation where her pants were off and he was fully undressed and she wandered into his room. I don't think anything happened. They're both confused and the Medical Director said she didn't think anything happened. The families were notified. On 9/22/14 at 2:16 p.m., interview with the DHS (Director of Health Services) indicated, "We consider it abuse if it was emotional distress and not consensual. If it is consensual and both parties consent we don't consider abuse. "We had an incident like that on Legacy Lane when a female went into a male room and he sleeps naked. She was found standing in the middle of his room. She had her bottoms off. We did a full assessment on her. There was no vaginal bleeding. This happened 4-6 weeks ago maybe. We did not report. It didn't appear to be any sexual assault." On 9/22/14 at 3:27 p.m., an interview with the Executive Director (ED) indicated, "We have a training program and corporate compliance hotline. We do abuse inservices once a year. We would have to determine if the parties were willing or not. Do an investigation, contact physician, and family. When asked if this would be a reportable to the state. It depends on if it were consensual. I just can't assume something happened." If two residents were not cognitively intact and found in a compromising situation is that a reportable? "It depends on the investigation. We would have to investigate." On 9/23/2014 at 3:15 p.m., an interview with LPN #4 indicated a specimen was obtained from Resident #C, but the physician did not order any test to be done on the specimen and it was disposed of. On 9/23/2014 at 10:44 a.m., an interview with the Medical Director/ personal physician (same person) for Resident #C indicated, being called about Resident #C having been found in room of a male resident. This nurse said she took some vaginal secretions. I had no intention of doing a rape kit. I didn't feel it was clinically indicated, so the specimen collected was disposed of. I think she entered a room and got into the bed and he probably woke up and saw her in his bed. I didn't examine the lady. I felt like it was inappropriate behavior on the residents part. She wanders around all the time. I understood she was sitting on the bed with her pants down and he was lying in the bed. On 9/23/2014 at 3:25 p.m., an interview with Housekeeper #1 indicated the Housekeeper found Resident #C in Resident #D's bed, both residents were awake. Resident #C was sideways on the bed and Resident #D was laying long ways on the bed. The Housekeeper informed the nurse and the CRCA of the event. He then indicated he filled out an incident report. On 9/23/2014 at 3:45 p.m., an interview with the DHS (Director of Health Services) indicated there was no incident report filled out by any staff concerning the event on 9/2/2014, in regard to Resident #C and Resident #D. The only reports related to this event were in the residents charts filled out by nursing. On 9/24/2014 at 2:00 p.m., an interview with Executive Director indicated, the female resident involved in the event on 8/28/2014 and 9/2/2014, was Resident #C.

An interview with the ADON on 9/28/2014 at 2:00 p.m., indicated Resident #C's room had been moved to the other end of the hall, and a plan was in place to separate the female residents rooms from the male residents room. At that time, an observation of Resident #C's room indicated, the resident had been moved to the other end of the hall. The immediate jeopardy that began on 8/28/2014, was removed on 9/26/2014, when the facility transferred Resident #D to a psychiatric hospital for treatment and evaluation, and Resident #C was provided one on one care and documentation of 15 minutes checks were provided, The Plan of Correction, dated 9/26/14, indicated, " ...All residents on Legacy Unit were assessed by Social Services ...to determine if any other residents were at risk for sexually acting out or were involved with the above residents in question ...
