25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Dawn Segura and Adrian Mangina conducted an unannounced case management visit. LPAs were granted entry into the facility and met with Donelle Williams, Executive Director, to whom LPA Segura disclosed the purpose of the visit.
This visit was initiated to cite for a deficiency that is being issued in response to a self-reported incident that occurred on June 24, 2021, and facility staff became aware of on June 25, 2021, in which Resident #1 (R1) [LIC 811 Confidential Names List was provided to identify the resident] was inappropriately touched in a sexual manner by Staff #1 (S1).
On June 25, 2021, it was reported to Community Care Licensing by a facility staff member who had authority to report on behalf of the licensee that, at approximately 4:30 PM on June 24, 2021, S1 had been observed standing beside R1 with S1’s arm around R1’s waist. S1 was observed moving his/her arm below R1’s waist and rubbing his/her hand on R1’s buttocks in a circular motion.
The investigation consisted of interviews of facility staff and outside sources and review of facility and outside source records. Evidence collected during the investigation revealed that R1 had a diagnosis of dementia and was not in a cognitive state to have the ability to consent to such interaction at the time that the incident occurred. The investigation also yielded that, while there were other incidents observed that did not rise to the level of a sexual nature, S1 interacted in an inappropriate manner with residents on other occasions.
Based upon the foregoing, a deficiency is being cited on the attached LIC 809-D in accordance with Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. This report was discussed with Donelle Williams, Executive Director, at the end of the visit. Copies of the report and Licensee/Appeal Rights were provided to the Executive Director at the conclusion of the visit. Her signature on this form acknowledges receipt of the rights and a copy of this report. |
