The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent accidents for [two residents]. A review of the facility’s policy revealed they would provide space that was safe for wandering residents.”
The record review and interview revealed that the facility utilized staff as a hall monitor “to ensure the safety of residents. On September 20, 2017, [one resident] was observed by facility staff to touch [a second resident’s] chest while the resident was partially unclothed, and there was no monitor on duty.” The investigation involved a cognitively impaired resident.
The resident’s Comprehensive Care Plan dated June 22, 2017, revealed “the resident wanders at times with goals to not intrude on other residents’ privacy and interventions to redirect when the resident wanders into other residents’ rooms.
The recent Care Plan dated June 18, 2017, revealed that “the resident displayed sexually inappropriate behavior at times with interventions to include redirection when wandering.” The facility Incident Report dated June 18, 2017, revealed that the resident “was observed by facility staff to be standing in front of a female resident and the female resident was partially undressed. Further review revealed interventions to place the resident on every fifteen-minute checks along with the utilization of the hall monitoring staff person to monitor residents closely.”
The female resident’s medical record “revealed the resident was cognitively impaired. On September 20, 2017, the investigation said the sexually inappropriate resident “was observed in the female resident’s room “at the resident’s bedside.” The female resident “was observed to have no garment covering [her] chest. The investigation stated that [the sexually aggressive resident “was observed sliding his/her hands from [the female resident’s middle-lower abdomen to the lower part of the chest.”
The facility Administrator stated “all monitors were used to provide additional supervision of wandering residents. However, a hall monitor was not in place at the time that the incident occurred.”
