Allegation: Staff did not prevent a resident from sexually abusing another resident
The details of the complaint alleged that (R#1) was sexually assaulted by (R#2).
On December 11, 2025, at approximately 12:00 p.m., during a review of records, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Iniguez observed Resident #1’s (R#1) Physician’s Report for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (LIC 602A), dated June 25, 2025. The report indicates that (R#1) has been diagnosed with a mental health condition that may influence their thought processes and belief system. Additionally, the LIC 602A form notes that (R#1) is confused and disoriented. LPA Iniguez also reviewed (R#1)’s current medication list, which includes a prescription for Haloperidol 50 mg to be administered every morning. This medication is associated with the management of (R#1)’s diagnosed mental health condition. Furthermore, LPA Iniguez reviewed (R#1)’s Appraisal/Needs and Services Plan (LIC 625), dated September 24, 2025, which states that the facility is responsible for monitoring R#1 throughout the day for any physical or mental changes.
On December 11, 2025, during an interview, the facility administrator (A#1) she stated that upon being notified of (R#1)’s allegation of sexual abuse by their mental health case manager, the facility took immediate action by assessing (R#1) and offering to relocate them to a different room once one becomes available. (A#1) also indicated that the Long-Term Care Ombudsman would be informed of the incident. To ensure (R#1)’s safety, the facility implemented a two-hour wellness check protocol, with staff monitoring (R#1) throughout the day and night for any physical or mental changes. In addition, (A#1) stated that in response to the allegation, the facility followed its internal abuse protocols by interviewing relevant parties, documenting the incident, and notifying Licensing, the Ombudsman, the mental health case manager, and (R#1)’s psychiatrist. The facility does not utilize in-room surveillance cameras due to resident privacy rights, which align with regulatory standards.
