Alleged Perpetrator 3 (AP3) documented that it was a known behavior and would be added to AV's care plan. In the following days AV continued to show signs of significant anxiety and was noted to be crawling into bed with other residents. On or about September 10, 2019, AV reported to the facility that a facility staff of the opposite gender had physically abuse him/her and AV expressed significant fear. AV made multiple reports to facility staff that he/she had been sexually assaulted by facility staff and/or other residents. The facility was unable to provide any documentation that the AV's reports were investigated and AV's care plan did not give meaningful interventions and instruction to ensure AV's safety and to determine the validity of AV's statements each time AV reported abuse. The facility failed to care plan and investigate AV's reports, putting AV at risk for serious harm, which is a violation of resident rights, is neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
