Upon arrival, the LPA was greeted by the Assisted Living Director (ALD), Joni Tsukimura. The LPA disclosed the purpose of the visit. The ALD informed the LPA that there were (30) residents in Assisted Living care and total facility census was 169.
On 01/27/2025, the resident (R1) reported an incident to staff member (S2). R1 stated that on 01/25/2025, around 9:00 PM, staff member (S1) assisted them with the shower. After that, S1 helped them to stand at the side of the shower so that R1 could hold onto the rails facing the wall, and S1 then proceeded to dry R1 with a towel. R1 stated that S1 brushed their hand with the towel against R1’s breast. R1 mentioned that it happened a second time and felt more deliberate, so they asked S1 to leave.
On 02/19/2025, at 1:13 PM, LPA interviewed ALD. ALD stated that R1 was not able to describe the person. When ALD initially talked to R1, ALD didn’t have the schedule with them as they were not sure who was working on the Saturday night. ALD stated that they asked R1 to describe the person who could have given them the shower, but R1 was still not able to identify the staff. ALD added that they didn’t go back with a picture to help R1 identify the staff. ALD confirmed that the facility notified the Los Altos Police Department. An officer called back and talked to R1 in the presence of R1’s family member (FMD). The police officer didn’t come to the facility, and no police report or complaint was made. R1 didn’t want to file a police complaint. R1’s family (FM1) was aware of this incident.
