A facility failed to prevent resident-to-resident sexual abuse when a resident with moderate cognitive impairment was found with their hand inside another resident's brief. Both residents had cognitive impairments, and the incident was discovered by CNAs who observed them in a potentially consensual act. The resident with moderate cognitive impairment had a history of a romantic relationship with a previous resident who had recently passed away, which may have contributed to the confusion. Psychiatric evaluations suggested the act was likely consensual, but the cognitive impairments made it difficult to determine consent.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Sexual Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent resident-to-resident sexual abuse involving two residents. The incident occurred when one resident was found with their hand inside another resident's brief. Both residents involved had cognitive impairments, with one resident having a history of wandering and moderate cognitive impairment, while the other had severe cognitive impairment and was new to the facility. The incident was discovered by CNAs who observed the residents in a potentially consensual act, as both residents did not exhibit signs of distress or discomfort at the time. The resident with moderate cognitive impairment had a history of a romantic relationship with a previous resident who had recently passed away. This resident was found in the room previously occupied by their deceased partner, which may have contributed to the confusion and mistaken identity during the incident. The resident with severe cognitive impairment was described as sociable and flirtatious, with no prior history of negative behaviors. Both residents were unable to recall the incident when questioned later, and neither showed signs of psychological or physical distress. Interviews with staff and psychiatric evaluations suggested that the act was likely consensual, although the cognitive impairments of both residents made it difficult to definitively determine consent. The facility's Director of Nursing acknowledged the cognitive impairments and the inability to confirm consent based solely on cognitive assessments. The incident highlighted the challenges in managing residents with cognitive impairments and ensuring their safety and well-being in a long-term care setting.
