Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respect, had a safe and homelike environment, and were free from neglect and sexual abuse for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2). Resident 2 had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and was involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with an unsampled resident. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease and was unable to consent to multiple sexual interactions with another resident.


During the acuity interview on 06/24/24, Resident 2 was identified as being in an "romantic relationship" with another resident. When asked if it was a sexual relationship, Staff 4 (LPN) reported it was not. Surveyors asked if the resident had a diagnosis of dementia and, if so, had s/he been evaluated to determine his/her ability to consent to the relationship. Staff 4 stated the resident did have a dementia diagnosis, had been evaluated, and was determined to have the ability to consent to the relationship.


The resident's clinical record was reviewed, observations were made, and staff and the resident were interviewed.


In interviews with care staff on 06/24/24 and 06/25/24, the following was reported:


* The resident could become ". . . a little verbally aggressive if separated from [unsampled resident]."


* S/he had "memory issues" and had demonstrated "more confusion" recently.


* The resident had "confusion sometimes" when with the unsampled resident and became "upset when [the unsampled resident] didn't remember [him/her]."


* The ". . . majority of the time [s/he] knows who [the unsampled resident] is, but sometimes [s/he] doesn't."


* They have ". . . walked into [unsampled resident's] room and seen [him/her] sitting on the couch with [Resident 2] standing in front of [him/her] ready to take [his/her] shirt off."


Staff documented the following in the resident's progress notes:


* 05/05/24 - A MT went to the unsampled resident's room and saw the unsampled resident ". . . on [Resident 2] having sexual intimacy."


* 05/06/24 - Resident 2 was found on the bed with the unsampled resident in his/her locked bedroom, and both were naked.


* 05/09/24 - Staff 4 (LPN) completed a "Decisional Capacity Evaluation Summary." The checklist contained incomplete answers, and some questions were not answered. Staff 4 determined the resident had the capacity to consent to "intimate contact."


* 06/04/24 - A MT wrote she was unable to give Resident 2 his/her medication because s/he was, "Having sexual relations with [the unsampled] resident . . ."


* 06/11/24 - Resident 2 was angry with and afraid of the unsampled resident. After assurances from staff his/her apartment door would be locked so the unsampled resident could not enter, Resident 2 asked repeatedly if a staff member could spend the night in his/her room.


During the survey, between 06/24/24 and 06/28/24, Resident 2 was observed eating meals with the unsampled resident. On 06/25/24 the two residents were observed walking together in the hallway. They turned the corner and the surveyor started to follow them and heard a door close. When the surveyor turned the corner, the residents were no longer in the hallway. The unsampled resident's apartment was near the corner of the two hallways.


Resident 2 was interviewed on 06/26/24. The resident gave the surveyors a "tour" of her apartment twice and showed them the balcony off the living room three times within  a 10-minute period. The resident stated s/he ate meals with his/her spouse if s/he was "around." The resident's record revealed his/her spouse had moved out of the facility at the end of 05/2024. S/he stated s/he was not in an intimate relationship with the unsampled resident, wasn't sure s/he would be interested in such a relationship, and the unsampled resident had never expressed an interest in a sexual relationship.


The facility's failure to determine Resident 2's capacity to consent to a sexual relationship and failure to intervene in the sexual interactions between the two residents resulted in the loss of dignity and respect, created an unsafe environment, constituted neglect, and exposed Resident 2 to potential and ongoing sexual abuse. This resulted in a serious risk of harm to the resident.


On 06/26/24, at 3:51 pm , the survey team requested that the facility provide an immediate plan of correction. An acceptable plan of correction was received from the facility at on 06/26/24 at 5:53 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failures associated with the licensing violation.


The need to ensure the facility honored resident rights and protected residents from neglect and abuse was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.


Refer to C 231.

Plan of Correction

1. C200 - Resident #2, to ensure resident is treated with dignity and respect and has a safe homelike environment, we have worked with both families and have moved Resident #2's relationship friend to a foster home to ensure Resident #2 is safe.

2. We will continue to monitor Resident #2 and encourage she be active in the community but not in a physical relationship with another resident.

3. We will continue to monitor to ensure she remains safe.

4. ED and Clinical team will see that the corrections are monitored.

Details

Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure incidents of abuse or suspected abuse were immediately reported to the local Seniors & People with Disability (SPD) office, failed to promptly investigate incidents of abuse or suspected abuse, and failed to take measures to protect residents and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse for 1 of 1 sampled resident (#2). Resident 2 had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and was involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with an unsampled resident. Findings include, but are not limited to:


Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease.


The resident's current service plan, updated 05/10/24, progress notes dated 03/25/24 through 06/19/24, temporary service plans, incident reports, and a "Decisional Capacity Evaluation Summary" dated 05/09/24 were reviewed. Staff and the resident were interviewed.


a. During the acuity interview on 06/24/24, Resident 2 was identified as being in an "romantic relationship" with another resident. When asked if it was a sexual relationship, Staff 4 (LPN) reported it was not.


Staff documented the following in the resident's progress notes:


* 05/05/24 - Resident 2 was found in the unsampled resident's room. The two residents were kissing. MT attempted to redirect Resident 2 and found the residents " ...having sexual intimacy."


* 05/06/24 - Staff found Resident 2 and the unsampled resident naked on the bed in the unsampled resident's room.


* 06/04/24 - The MT wrote she was unable to give Resident 2 his/her medication because s/he was, "Having sexual relations with resident [room number]."


* 06/11/24 - Resident 2 was angry with the unsampled resident, stating if s/he ". . . comes in here I'm going to kill [him/her]." Resident 2 stated the other resident ". . . became obsessive . . ." and ". . . im [sic] scared [s/he] knows where i [sic] live, does [s/he] know where i [sic] live?" Staff assured Resident 2 his/her apartment door would be locked so the other resident could not enter. The resident then asked multiple times, "can one of you girls [sic] stay the night on the couch and I cam [sic] stay in my room."


In interviews with care staff on 06/24/24 and 06/25/24, the following was reported:


* The resident could become ". . . a little verbally aggressive if separated from [unsampled resident]."


* S/he had "memory issues" and had demonstrated "more confusion" recently.


* The resident had "confusion sometimes" when with the unsampled resident and became "upset when [the unsampled resident] didn't remember [him/her]."


* The ". . . majority of the time [s/he] knows who [the unsampled resident] is, but sometimes [s/he] doesn't."


* They had ". . . walked into [unsampled resident's] room and seen [him/her] sitting on the couch with [Resident 2] standing in front of [him/her] ready to take [his/her] shirt off."


Resident 2 was interviewed on 06/26/24. S/he stated s/he was not in an intimate relationship with the unsampled resident, wasn't sure s/he would be interested in such a relationship, and the unsampled resident had never expressed an interest in a sexual relationship.


There was no documented evidence the sexual incidents were reported to the local SPD office, investigated to rule out abuse, or that measures were taken to protect the resident and prevent the reoccurrence of abuse. Resident 2 continued to engage in a sexual relationship with the other resident.


The facility's failure to immediately report these incidents to the local SPD office, to promptly investigate the incidents, and to take measures to protect the resident and prevent further occurrences created a serious risk of harm to the resident.


On 06/26/24, at 3:51 pm, the survey team requested the facility provide an immediate plan of correction. An acceptable plan of correction was received from the facility on 06/26/24 at 5:53 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failures associated with the licensing violation.


The facility was requested to report the incidents to the local SPD office on 06/26/24. Confirmation of the reports was provided prior to survey exit.


The need to immediately report and promptly investigate all incidents of abuse or suspected abuse, and to protect the resident and prevent further occurrences, was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.


b. The resident's progress notes identified the following:


* 04/29/24 - The resident "attempted to throw [his/her] wine in [his/her spouse's] face" and stated, "I want a gun."


* 05/01/24 - The resident was "crying and shaky" and kept repeating "[S/he] didn't hit me but [s/he] pushed me . . ."


* 05/02/24 - Staff found broken glass on the floor of the resident's apartment, and the resident stated, "I broke it, I threw it at [him/her], I have a temper."


* 05/05/24 - The resident was outside his/her apartment crying and shaking and asked staff if they "could do more checks on [him/her] cause [s/he's] not okay." Staff documented the resident seemed "possibly frightened."


* 05/21/24 - The resident reported to staff that his/her spouse held a knife to his/her throat, and the resident's spouse confirmed this had occurred. The resident then laughed and said it was a joke. The caregiver was unable to locate a knife in the resident's apartment.


There was no documented evidence these incidents were immediately reported to the local SPD office or promptly investigated. The resident's record indicated his/her spouse had moved out of the facility the end of 05/2024.


The survey team requested that the facility report the incidents to the local SPD office. Confirmation of the reports was received prior to survey exit.


The facility's failure to immediately report and promptly investigate incidents of abuse or suspected abuse was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. As mandated reporters, the staff and the clinical team have been trained on how to report to APS in regards to any type of abuse or suspected abuse immediately as required self reporters.

2. Clincial team and ED review any and all incidents daily and report and incidents of abuse or suspected abuse to prevent any future reoccurances of abuse.

3. The deficient practice will be evaulated daily by the ED and clinical team to ensure compliance.

4. ED and Nurse and LPN's will monitor.

Details

Based on observation, interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure changes of condition were evaluated and referred to the RN when needed, interventions were determined, documented, communicated to staff, and implemented, and interventions were monitored for effectiveness for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) who experienced changes of condition. Resident 2 had an ongoing sexual relationship with an unsampled resident. Resident 1 experienced a fall resulting in a clavicle fracture following multiple falls without interventions or monitoring. Findings include, but are not limited to:


1. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease.


The resident's current service plan, updated 05/10/24, progress notes dated 03/25/24 through 06/19/24, temporary service plans, incident reports, and a "Decisional Capacity Evaluation Summary" dated 05/09/24 were reviewed. Staff and the resident were interviewed.


a. During the acuity interview on 06/24/24, Resident 2 was identified as being in an "romantic relationship" with another resident. When asked if it was a sexual relationship, Staff 4 (LPN) reported it was not.


Staff documented the following in the resident's progress notes:


* 05/05/24 - A MT went to the unsampled resident's room and saw the unsampled resident ". . . on [Resident 2] having sexual intimacy."


* 05/06/24 - Resident 2 was found on the bed with the unsampled resident in his/her locked bedroom, and both were naked.


* 05/09/24 Staff 4 (LPN) completed a "Decisional Capacity Evaluation Summary." The checklist required "yes" or "no" answers to eleven questions, with an area for "comments" after each question. The following questions were left blank:


- Cognitive score (MMSE) greater than 14?; and

- Does the resident have the capacity to avoid exploitation?


Multiple questions lacked narrative in the "comments" section, or had answers recorded from the resident interview that did not indicate consent. These included, but were not limited to:


- "How does the current behavior of the resident correlate with the residents [sic] past beliefs and actions (as known by residents or others)? was marked as "yes," with no further narrative.


- "Is the resident aware of the relationship?" was marked "yes," with the word "Acquaintance" in the comments section.


- "Is the resident's concept of who the relationship is with consistent with reality?" was marked "yes." Comments indicated the resident stated, "I will never do it again, my husband is with me."


Staff 4 determined the resident had the capacity to consent to "intimate contact," and documented in the "Comments regarding pivotal factors driving outcome of evaluation:" section: "Family notified of residents [sic] eval."


There was no further documented evidence of a complete evaluation to determine the resident's capacity to consent to a sexual relationship with another resident.


* 06/04/24 - A MT wrote she was unable to give Resident 2 his/her medication because s/he was, "Having sexual relations with [the unsampled] resident . . ."


* 06/11/24 - Staff documented Resident 2 was angry with and afraid of the unsampled resident. After assurances from staff his/her apartment door would be locked so the unsampled resident could not enter, Resident 2 asked repeatedly if a staff member could spend the night in his/her room.


During the survey, between 06/24/24 and 06/28/24, Resident 2 was observed eating meals with the unsampled resident. On 06/25/24 the two residents were observed walking together in the hallway. They turned the corner and the surveyor started to follow them and heard a door close. When the surveyor turned the corner, the residents were no longer in the hallway. The unsampled resident's apartment was near the corner of the two hallways.


Resident 2 was interviewed on 06/26/24. The resident gave the surveyors a "tour" of his/her apartment twice and showed them the balcony off the living room three times within  a 10-minute period. The resident stated s/he ate meals with his/her spouse if s/he was "around." The resident's record revealed his/her spouse had moved out of the facility at the end of 05/2024. S/he stated s/he was not in an intimate relationship with the unsampled resident, wasn't sure s/he would be interested in such a relationship, and the unsampled resident had never expressed an interest in a sexual relationship.


There was no documented evidence the facility completed a full evaluation to determine the resident's ability to consent, monitored the resident's change in behavior, or re-evaluated the resident when s/he expressed anger toward and fear of the unsampled resident. In addition, there was no documented evidence the facility developed interventions to ensure the resident had no further sexual contact with the unsampled resident after expressing fear of the unsampled resident.


The facility's failure to evaluate the sexual incidents between Resident 2 and the unsampled resident and to determine actions or interventions, document and communicate the actions or interventions with staff on all shifts, and to monitor interventions for effectiveness created a serious risk of harm to the resident.


On 06/26/24, at 3:51 pm, the facility was requested to provide an immediate plan of correction. An acceptable plan of correction was received from the facility on 06/26/24 at 5:53 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failures associated with the licensing violation.


The need to ensure changes in residents' behaviors were evaluated, actions or interventions were determined, documented, communicated to staff on all shifts, and implemented, and ensure interventions were monitored for effectiveness was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.


b. The resident's progress notes identified the following:


* 04/29/24 - The resident "attempted to throw [his/her] wine in [his/her spouse's] face" and stated, "I want a gun."


* 05/01/24 - The resident was "crying and shaky." The resident's spouse was packing, saying s/he was leaving. "Resident kept repeating "[S/he] didn't hit me but [s/he] pushed me . . ."


* 05/02/24 - Staff found broken glass on the floor of the resident's apartment, and the resident stated, "I broke it, I threw it at [him/her], I have a temper."


* 05/05/24 - The resident was outside his/her apartment crying and shaking and asked staff if they "could do more checks on [him/her] cause [s/he's] not okay." Staff documented the resident seemed "possible frightened."


* 05/21/24 - The resident reported to staff that his/her spouse held a knife to his/her throat, and the resident's spouse confirmed this had occurred. The resident then laughed and said it was a joke. The caregiver was unable to locate a knife in the resident's apartment.


There was no documented evidence these incidents were evaluated or that actions or interventions were determined, documented, communicated to staff on all shifts, and implemented.


The facility's failure to evaluate changes in the resident's behavior, determine actions or interventions, and monitor interventions for effectiveness was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.

2. Resident 1 moved into the facility in February 2024 with diagnoses including dementia and chronic ulcer of left foot.


The resident's service plan, Temporary Service Plans (TSPs), progress notes dated 03/26/24 through 06/24/24, and incident reports were reviewed during the survey.


Resident 1's 04/08/24 service plan indicated the resident was at risk for falls due to dementia diagnosis and was on safety checks every "2 to 3 hours."


* On 04/26/24 the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall in a common area, hitting his/her head, and was sent to the hospital.


On 05/01/24 the facility RN documented in a progress note that she went to the hospital to assess the resident; however, the resident was asleep during the visit. The RN also documented  "[Resident] is a stand-by-assist with mobility, transfers, and ADLs."


On 05/02/24 the resident returned to the facility. There was no evidence the facility investigated the root cause of the fall on 04/26/24 or developed interventions to help prevent future falls.


The resident's record indicated Resident 1 had subsequent falls on the following dates:


* On 05/21/24 the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall in his/her room, stating s/he hit his/her head and that his/her back hurt.


* On 05/25/24 the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall in his/her room, with bruising on his/her chin.


* On 06/11/24 the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall in his/her room with "welt on left side of [his/her] head" and was sent to the hospital.


There was no documented evidence the facility investigated the root cause of the falls, developed resident-specific interventions to help minimize future falls, reviewed previously service-planned interventions for effectiveness, or monitored the resident's condition after each fall.


The facility's failure to evaluate the resident after each fall, determine actions or interventions, communicate the interventions to staff, and monitor the interventions according to the needs of the resident, put the resident at risk for repeated falls and serious injury.


On 06/13/24 the resident returned to the facility with a diagnosis of a broken clavicle. There was no documented evidence the facility evaluated the resident, updated the service plan related to increased care needs as a result of the broken clavicle, or monitored the resident according to his/her evaluated needs.


During an interview on 06/28/24, Staff 3 (LPN) reported the interventions for the resident's falls were safety checks every 2-3 hours, physical therapy, and "we are talking about getting a chair alarm." She acknowledged the interventions were not being monitored to determine effectiveness.


During the survey, multiple caregivers indicated they were not sure how often Resident 1 required safety checks. On 6/28/24 a caregiver showed the surveyor the electronic task list for Resident 1 and safety checks were not listed.


Throughout the survey, staff were observed checking on the resident frequently and providing stand-by assist with all transfers, ambulation, and ADL care.


The need to ensure residents who experienced a change of condition were evaluated and resident-specific actions or interventions were developed, communicated to staff, and monitored through resolution was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

1. Resident #1 no longer resides in the community. Resident #2's change of condition has been evaluated by the RN, intervention was completed by moving her male companion out of the community. ED, and clinical team will continue to monitor Resident #2 to ensure she does not engage in another physical relationship.   Her service plan has been updated to reflect current needs.

2. RN has been trained and educated on completing change of condition and monitoring residents and making necessary change of conditions regarding falls, resident to resident altercations. Residents will be elevated to determine the ability to consent to sexual relationships for residents with dementia diagnosis.

3. Clinical review will take place weekly and added to our CQI process monthly.

4. Licensed clinical team and Executive Director.

2. Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 02/2024 with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease.


A review of the resident's clinical record, including progress notes dated 03/25/24 through 06/19/24 and weight records dated 03/03/24 through 06/01/24, was completed, and staff were interviewed. The following was identified:


* 04/01/24 - 111.4 pounds; and

* 05/02/24 - 105.2 pounds.


The resident experienced a weight loss of 6.2 pounds, or 5.6% of his/her total body weight, in one month. This was considered a severe weight loss and a significant change of condition.


There was no documented evidence an RN assessment was completed for the resident's weight loss.


Between 05/02/24 and 06/01/24, the resident's weight fluctuated between 103 and 109.2 pounds. On 05/20/24 the facility RN faxed the resident's physician to inform him of the weight loss. There was a physician order dated 05/22/24 for the resident to be weighed daily until his/her appointment with the physician on 05/29/24 and a physician order dated 05/29/24 for one Ensure (supplemental health shake) three times a day.


The facility RN was unavailable for interview during the survey.


On 06/25/24 Resident 2 was observed to eat less than 50% of his/her lunch and drank 100% of his/her health shake. On 06/26/24, Staff 15 (Server) reported the resident ate 25% of his/her breakfast and drank 100% of his/her health shake.


The surveyor requested the resident be weighed on 06/26/24. On 06/28/24 the facility provided weights taken on 06/27/24 and 06/28/24: 102 pounds and 103 pounds, respectively.


RN weight logs were reviewed on 06/27/24 with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services). Although there were multiple and highlighted entries, there was no indication Resident 2's weight was being monitored. Staff 2 was unable to determine the facility's process for monitoring weights and determining significant changes.


The need for an RN to complete an assessment of all significant changes of condition in a timely manner was discussed with Staff 2 (Regional Director of Clinical Services) and Staff 3 (LPN) on 06/28/24. They acknowledged the findings.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure an RN significant change of condition assessment was completed following significant changes of condition for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 2) whose records were reviewed.

a. On 06/11/24 the resident experienced a fall, hitting his/her head, and was sent to the hospital. The resident returned from the hospital on 06/13/24 with a diagnosis of a fractured clavicle.


An "RN Significant Change of Condition" document dated 06/13/24 stated: "[Resident] fell 6/11 and hit [his/her] head. [S/he] was transported to [hospital] and diagnosed with a clavicle fx. [Resident] has scheduled toileting every 2 hours and safety checks every 2-3 hours. Will continue to monitor weekly at this time."


During the survey, the resident was observed wearing a sling on his/her left arm. Staff reported the resident had been wearing this since his/her clavicle fracture.


There was no evidence the resident was assessed according to his/her needs after the clavicle fracture, including changes in ADL assistance, interventions developed based on the assessment, and the service plan updated.


b. Resident 1's weight records identified the following:


* 03/01/24 - 103.8 pounds;

* 04/03/24 - 97.2 pounds; and

* 06/07/24 - 94.0 pounds.


Between 03/01/24 and 04/03/24 the resident experienced a weight loss of 6.6 pounds, or 6.4% of his/her total body weight, in one month. This was considered a severe weight loss and a significant change of condition.


Between 03/01/24 and 06/07/24 the resident experienced a weight loss of 9.8 pounds, or 9.4% of his/her total body weight, in three months. This was considered a severe weight loss and a significant change of condition.
