 THE FACILITY FAILED TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE IN A TIMELY MANNER AN ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL ABUSE

Level of harm – IMMEDIATE JEOPARDY

On 06-19-14 at 5:00 p.m., an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was determined to exist due to the facility’s failure to complete a thorough investigation for an allegation of sexual abuse and failure to ensure residents were protected until a thorough investigation was completed.

Continuing: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to: a. thoroughly investigate in a timely manner an allegation of sexual abuse for 1 (#1) of 3 sampled residents who were reviewed for abuse allegations. b. protect other residents in the facility during an investigation of an allegation of sexual abuse for 1 (#1) of 3 sampled residents who were reviewed for abuse allegations.

Continuing: The administrator was asked when she became aware of who the staff person was, did she suspend them. She stated no. The administrator stated she was placed on another care area and all males were instructed to not enter or care for resident #1 pending investigation. The administrator was asked why she waited 5 days to notify police of the investigation. She stated her initial investigation showed nothing inappropriate had happened and did not feel police involvement was necessary. The administrator was asked if she had interviewed other alert and oriented residents on the same hall as resident #1, and if they had observed anything suspicious or if they had experienced inappropriate touching. She stated no, only resident #1’s roommate. The administrator was asked if the physician had been notified and asked to examine resident #1. She stated no.
