Summary
Facility staff failed to report an allegation of abuse to regulatory agencies and the Office of Health Care Quality (OHCQ) after a complaint was made regarding a resident sexually harassing a roommate. Medical record review revealed that an LPN documented multiple incidents where the resident exposed and touched their private parts, inviting the roommate to participate, and continued to display this behavior to anyone entering the room. Despite these documented observations, no investigation was initiated, and the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed he was unaware of the incidents and that no report or investigation had been conducted.
