The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to immediately investigate and report to the State Agency an allegation of sexual abuse for [one resident] who alleged someone had raped him/her.”
The investigators reviewed the resident’s Nurse Note dated September 10, 2017, at 6:02 PM. The report indicated that at 7:00 AM, “[the resident] was outside unattended.” The record review shows “no documentation [the resident] was being monitored.”
A subsequent Nurse’s Note at 7:30 AM shows that “[the resident] was redirected out of a male/female’s room last night [and the resident] talked about how he/she was raped then ‘served to their boyfriends’ afterward.”
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) indicated that the resident had gone into another resident’s room. When asked why they were in the other resident’s room, the intruding resident stated, “because you invited me in here.” The other resident replied, “no, I did not.” The intruding resident started yelling, “you just do not want to have intercourse with me because I am not [age] years old!”
The other resident asked the intruder to leave his/her room because he/she “was a resident, and he/she had his/her own problems.” Another document indicated that on the night of September 9, 2017, the second resident had said that the intruding resident “was standing outside the bathroom in [their] room, waiting for [them].”
The intruding resident stated that the other resident “invited him/her back to his/her room. The facility did not provide any further documentation to show they investigated [the resident’s] statement of someone raping him/her.”
The investigators interviewed a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who said that they were “talking with [the resident] in his/her room when he/she said he/she was raped.” The LPN said that they “never thought to let the Director of Nursing know since he/she thought [the resident] was talking about the past.”
