- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse, Physical Punishment, and Being Separated from Others – citation #F223 date August 30, 2016
The state investigators determined that “the facility failed to ensure two residents reviewed for abuse were free from physical, emotional, mental, or sexual abuse.” One resident “expressed fear of [another resident] who had grabbed her and kissed her on the cheek.”
The aggressive resident “allegedly struck [another resident] in the face with his fist and on another occasion, struck the resident multiple times with a metal object.” One resident “expressed fear of [the aggressive resident]. She said the mean man was dangerous and they (the facility) knew it.” The resident “said the facility should have done something sooner [and added] that he struck [another resident] several times with a metal object.”
The Director of Nursing identified the fearful resident was referring to [the aggressive resident]. The Director of Nursing stated that the aggressive resident thought that the female resident “was his daughter and would pet down her back and kiss her on the head. The Director said she did not know it was actually sexual behavior because the [sexually aggressive resident] had dementia.
In a second interview with the fearful female resident, surveyors asked again to describe the incident between yourself and [the sexually aggressive resident].” She said, “she was in the hallway and [the aggressive resident] grabbed her and kissed her on the cheek. She repeated that she did not know why [the aggressive resident] kissed her, but it scared her, and she told the nurse.” Apparently, the nurse “told her to stay away from him.”
The female resident stated that “she felt fearful and voiced she would not have been able to get away from [the aggressive resident] if he approached her and stated, ‘He was crazy.’” The female resident stated that “she has always been afraid of [the sexually aggressive resident], and again voiced he hit [another resident] with a metal object.”
The Administrator acknowledged “no evidence was present to indicate the facility actively sought a resolution to [the female resident’s] concern and that telling [the female resident] to stay away from the [sexually aggressive resident] was not an adequate intervention as she requires the use of a wheelchair and the [aggressive resident] was ambulatory.”
