Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Nacole Patterson conducted an unannounced 10-day visit to initiate a complaint investigation and deliver findings regarding the above complaint allegation. LPA introduced themselves and disclosed the purpose of the visit to Memory Care Director David Pinto.

On 05/23/2025 it was alleged that staff did not prevent residents from engaging in inappropriate interactions. The Department’s investigation consisted of an unannounced facility visit, interviews with facility staff, outside sources, and records review. Staff interviews revealed that Resident 1 (R1) had known behaviors upon admission to the facility of becoming attached to certain people, specifically male residents. Staff interviews further revealed that R1 became attached to Resident 2 (R2), following them around the facility and stating that they were dating. Staff additionally informed that R1's family was made aware and a plan was agreed upon for the residents to be able to interact in common areas, but not privately in rooms.

(Continued from LIC9099 p.1)

Staff informed that R2 did not seek out R1 or initiate interaction with R1, but would accept the attention when given. Staff informed that the residents have never engaged in sexual intercourse, but acknowledged that residents maintain the personal right to do so.

Two outside sources were contacted regarding the allegation, both of whom were familiar with the situation and with direct observations regarding interactions between R1 and R2. The outside sources denied that the facility was lacking in supervision between the residents and informed that the residents had not engaged inappropriately or without consent to the interactions. Outside source staff observations were consistent with staff statements regarding R1 initiating interactions with R2 and seeking them around the facility. Outside source interviews did not corroborate the allegation.

Review of facility records were consistent with staff statements regarding resident behaviors and R1 becoming fixated on going into R2's room. The documents did not corroborate that staff improperly supervised the residents, or that inappropriate contact occurred between R1 or R2. R1's Physician's Report indicated that R1 exhibited inappropriate behaviors.

During an unannounced facility visit LPA conducted a health and safety check for R1 and R2. LPA did not observe the residents together and no health or safety issues were observed.

Based on interviews, direct LPA observations and records review, a preponderance of evidence does not exist to prove that the alleged violation occurred, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. An exit interview was conducted with Memory Care Director David Pinto, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 03/22) were provided.
