The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to report an allegation of employee-to-resident sexual abuse to law enforcement within 24 hours of being notified of the allegation.”
A 24-hour Initial Report submitted by the facility to the State Agency on August 12, 2019, “revealed allegations of abuse and neglect were reported by [the resident].” The resident reported three days earlier on August 9, 2019, that “during patient care on August 6, 2019, during the third shift, she was inappropriately touched on her genitalia by a male nursing resident.”
The resident also stated that “she was not provided care in a timely manner, after pressing her call light for assistance.” The nursing home initially notified law enforcement “of the sexual abuse allegation by the resident’s family on August 12, 2019.” The resident stated that they had reported the inappropriate touching “three days after it occurred” to a therapist.
The Director of Rehabilitation notified the Administrator “about the allegation of the resident being inappropriately touched.” The Administrator “instructed the Nurse Supervisor on Duty to immediately ensure the resident had no male nursing assistants assigned to her for all shifts, indefinitely.”
The Administrator “acknowledged that on August 9, 2019, he did not instruct the facility to contact the police and notify them of the allegation of sexual abuse.” The Administrator also revealed that on August 12, 2019, “he was informed by the resident’s family member that the resident told her family of the sexual abuse allegation” three days earlier and that it was the family that contacted law enforcement on August 12, 2019.
Local law enforcement indicated that they had responded to a 911 call from the facility that was initiated by a resident’s family member. The Police Officer said that “he discussed the incident with his Supervisor and the decision was made to allow the facility to complete its investigation and follow up with the police.” The officer said that they would “allow Adult Protective Services to continue with their investigation.”
