The investigation revealed: Regarding Allegation: Staff did not prevent a resident from inappropriately touching self in front of other residents in care. It is alleged that the resident was inappropriately exposing self in front of the other residents. LPA interviewed six (6) staff and four (4) of six (6) staff corroborated the allegation by stating to have observed R1 masturbating multiple times, Staff were aware of R1’s tendency to masturbate in R1’s room, and that R1 was placed on medication to assist with behavior. Due to cognitive skills, R1 and R2 were not able to be interviewed. Per documents reviewed, R1 was admitted to the facility on 12/23/2023. Progress notes show on the following dates R1 showed inappropriate sexual behaviors; 01/28/2024, 03/08/2024, 03/09/2024, 04/27/2024, 05/01/2024, 05/06/2024, 05/09/2024, 06/26/2024, 08/10/2024. On 07/14/2024, R1 made an inappropriate sexual comment towards R1’s roommate and their visitors. On 09/24/2024, Facility contacted R1’s physician and was provided with medication to assist with inappropriate sexual behaviors. On 2/18/2025 Facility staff observed R1 on top of their roommate, with R1’s pants down. At 8:33am, staff #4(S4) emailed the facility’s nurses and management team regarding R1’s inappropriate behavior towards roommate (R2).
Per records reviewed the facility Administrator was aware of R1’s behavior between January of 2024 to August of 2024. It wasn’t until 9/24/2025 that the facility staff contacted R1’s physician to seek assistance with behaviors. The facility staff did not protect the personal rights of the residents in care by providing assistance sooner and/or providing a private space for R1. Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to support this allegation.
Based on interviews conducted and record review, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore, the above allegation is found to be SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations, (Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8), are being cited on the attached LIC9099D.
An exit interview was conducted. A copy of this report, Plan of Correction, and Appeal Rights were provided.
