Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

The Minnesota Department of Health investigated a complaint that a staff member sexually abused a resident with dementia, but determined the allegation was not substantiated. Video surveillance showed the staff member entered the resident's room twice during routine care for brief periods with no audio evidence of inappropriate activity, and interviews with staff and a family member found no physical or behavioral signs of abuse. No further action was taken by the department.

Full inspector notes

Finding: Not Substantiated Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The alleged perpetrator (AP) abused the resident when he participated in sexual acts with the resident. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated. While the AP did enter the resident’s room twice during her scheduled care times on the overnight shift, the investigation did not find physical evidence of any inappropriate actions or sexual acts involving the resident. There was no witness to a sexual act made by the AP and staff reported the resident reporting she heard sexual noises was an unreliable reporter. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted a family member. The investigation included review of the resident records, facility internal investigation, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, and related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator observed staff assisting the resident with cares. The resident (resident 1) resided in an assisted living facility. The resident’s diagnoses included dementia. Resident 1’s service plan included assistance with repositioning, toileting, and safety checks. Resident 1’s assessment indicated she had limited ability to make requests and may not report abuse or neglect. Resident 1 used a Geri chair (medical wheeled recliner chair) which required staff assistance for mobility. One morning, a resident (resident 2) told staff she heard sex noises coming from the room next door the night before. Resident 2 stated the AP was having sex with the resident 1. Resident 2 was very adamant about what she heard and told several facility staff about the incident. During investigative interviews, multiple staff members stated resident 2 was not a reliable reporter due to her dementia. Multiple staff members stated there were no noted concerns or previous allegations of the AP. Multiple staff stated they had no concerns about how the AP treated residents. They also stated they did not note any emotional or physical signs of abuse to resident 1. During an interview, the registered nurse (RN) stated she reviewed video surveillance footage of the time frame of the allegation. The RN stated the AP entered the resident’s room twice during routine care times and was in the room for an insignificant amount of time each time. The RN stated there was no noises heard on the audio of the surveillance footage. During an interview, a family member stated she visited resident 1 three times a week and never noted any signs of abuse to resident 1. The family member stated she did not feel resident 2 was a reliable reporter due to the statements she heard resident 2 make when at the facility with resident 1. The family member stated she does not believe any abuse occurred to resident 1, and felt resident 1 was safe at the facility. Resident 1 was not able to complete an interview due to her dementia. Resident 2 was not able to complete an interview due to her dementia. R2 stated she did not recall ever reporting any abuse. The investigator was unable to contact the AP for an interview. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was not substantiated. “Not Substantiated” means: An investigatory conclusion indicating the preponderance of evidence shows that an act meeting the definition of maltreatment did not occur. Abuse: Minnesota Statutes section 626.5572, subdivision 2. "Abuse" means: (a) An act against a vulnerable adult that constitutes a violation of, an attempt to violate, or aiding and abetting a violation of: (4) criminal sexual conduct in the first through fifth degrees as defined in sections 609.342 to 609.3451. A violation includes any action that meets the elements of the crime, regardless of whether there is a criminal proceeding or conviction. (b) Conduct which is not an accident or therapeutic conduct as defined in this section, which produces or could reasonably be expected to produce physical pain or injury or emotional distress including, but not limited to, the following: (c) Any sexual contact or penetration as defined in section 609.341, between a facility staff person or a person providing services in the facility and a resident, patient, or client of that facility. Vulnerable Adult interviewed: No, not able to complete interview due to dementia. Family/Responsible Party interviewed: Yes. Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: No, unable to contact. the Action taken by facility: The facility reviewed camera security video when resident 2 reported allegations and interviewed staff. Action taken by the Minnesota Department of Health: No further action taken at this time. cc: The Office of Ombudsman for Long Term Care The Office of Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities PRINTED: 08/06/2024 FORM APPROVED STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION (X3) DATE SURVEY AND PLAN OF CORRECTION IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: COMPLETED A.

Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation found that wound care was not consistently provided according to a physician's orders for a resident's ankle pressure ulcer, and while the resident ultimately underwent a below-the-knee amputation, the Minnesota Department of Health determined there was insufficient evidence to prove the facility's actions or inactions directly caused the amputation. The resident had refused compression wraps and a protective boot on an almost daily basis over a three-month period, and the resident chose to proceed with amputation after meeting with her primary care provider due to ongoing pain and chronic bone infection. The facility was found in noncompliance and reeducated staff on proper wound care procedures.

Full inspector notes

Finding: Inconclusive Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The facility neglected the resident when staff failed to perform wound care and dressing changes as ordered to a pressure ulcer on the resident’s left ankle. The resident’s wound worsened, and it was recommended the resident have a below the knee amputation. The resident experienced ten out of ten pain due to the wound; however, staff failed to administer as-needed pain medication. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. Although wound care was not consistently provided in accordance with physician’s orders, there was not a preponderance of evidence the actions, or inactions of facility staff, led to the resident requiring to have a below-the-knee amputation. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted the resident’s case managers, home care agency staff, and the resident’s primary care provider. The investigation included review of the resident’s records, hospital records, facility incident reports, and related facility policies and procedures. At the time of the onsite visit, the investigator observed care and services at the facility. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included cellulitis (skin infection) of the left lower limb and type two diabetes with diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage). The resident’s service plan included assistance with twice daily wound care and weekly wound care supervision. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident admitted to the facility with an open area to her left foot and later developed a mid-foot ulcer. The resident’s record indicated three months prior to the left leg below-the-knee amputation (BKA), a physician’s order was written to have compression wraps applied to the resident’s left lower extremities during the day and removed at night. Documentation over that three-month period indicated the resident refused application of the compression wraps on an almost daily basis. The resident also had an order for a pressure-relieving boot to be worn on her left foot at all times. Documentation indicated over that same three-month period, the resident also refused to wear the boot on an almost daily basis. Two months before the BKA, the resident developed a new pressure ulcer on her left ankle. Following the development of the new pressure ulcer, the resident’s physician wrote orders for a pressure relieving mattress and application of a Rooke boot (a specialized vascular boot that helps prevent skin breakdown) to the resident’s left foot. However, the Rooke boot and mattress could not be supplied immediately and due to the delay in delivery, the boot was never applied to the resident’s foot and the pressure relieving mattress was not delivered until four days prior to the resident’s amputation. Clinic records indicated the resident met with her primary care provider (PCP) approximately three weeks after orders for the Rooke boot and air mattress were prescribed. The resident decided at this visit that she wanted to proceed with a BKA due to ongoing pain, chronic osteomyelitis (bone infection), and difficulties with wound healing over time. During an interview, nursing staff acknowledged there were delays in communication with the resident’s provider, and wound care was not consistently completed as ordered; however, nursing staff stated they re-educated staff on how to perform wound care and the amputation was completed per the resident’s choosing. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was inconclusive. Inconclusive: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 11. "Inconclusive" means there is less than a preponderance of evidence to show that maltreatment did or did not occur. Neglect: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, subdivision 17 Neglect means neglect by a caregiver or self-neglect. (a) "Caregiver neglect" means the failure or omission by a caregiver to supply a vulnerable adult with care or services, including but not limited to, food, clothing, shelter, health care, or supervision which is: (1) reasonable and necessary to obtain or maintain the vulnerable adult's physical or mental health or safety, considering the physical and mental capacity or dysfunction of the vulnerable adult; and (2) which is not the result of an accident or therapeutic conduct. Vulnerable Adult interviewed: Attempts to contact were unsuccessful. Family/Responsible Party interviewed: Attempts to contact were unsuccessful. Alleged Perpetrator interviewed: Not Applicable the Action taken by facility: The facility reeducated staff on proper wound care and dressing change orders. Action taken by the Minnesota Department of Health: The facility was found to be in noncompliance.

Complaint Investigation
No findings

Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation substantiated that the facility neglected a resident with dementia and elopement risk by failing to complete required hourly safety checks—the resident was not checked for over four hours—and by failing to provide adequate supervision, resulting in the resident leaving the building when a visitor opened a door; the resident wandered off-campus and was returned by an unrelated family member after approximately 45 minutes, and facility staff did not notice the resident was missing or report the elopement to the nurse. The facility's own service plan required hourly safety checks and behavior management assistance, and documentation showed multiple safety checks were falsely recorded as completed at times when they could not have been performed.

Full inspector notes

Finding: Substantiated, facility responsibility Nature of Investigation: The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance with the Minnesota Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. Initial Investigation Allegation(s): The facility neglected the resident when staff failed to provide adequate supervision to a resident who was at risk for elopement. The resident eloped after he followed someone out the door. Investigative Findings and Conclusion: The Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated. The facility was responsible for the maltreatment. The facility failed to provide adequate supervision in accordance with the resident’s service plan. Hourly safety checks were not completed as directed and the resident was not checked over a four-hour period of time. During that time, the resident eloped from the building when another resident’s family member opened the door. Facility staff failed to notice the resident was missing. An unrelated family member brought the resident back to the facility after they were unable to locate staff to help with the resident. Facility staff failed to report the elopement to the nurse. An equal opportunity employer. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator also contacted the case manager. The investigation included review of resident records including the service plan, assessments, progress notes, and documentation of services provided. At the time of the onsite visit, the investigator observed care and services provided in the facility. The resident resided in an assisted living memory care unit. The resident’s diagnoses included dementia, cognitive dysfunction, altered mental status, psychosis, and anxiety. The resident’s service plan included assistance with behavior management and directed staff to complete hourly safety checks. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident had a history of traumatic brain injury, had difficulty concentrating or paying attention, was easily disoriented, and had impaired judgment. The resident had a history of eloping and wandering. The assessment indicated the resident had "difficulty weighing advice, impaired judgment, and can be impulsive." The facility’s investigation summary was completed ten days after the resident’s elopement, as facility staff were unaware of the elopement until another resident’s family member reported it to them. The summary indicated the family of another resident had let the resident out of the door which re-set the alarm so staff were not aware the resident was out of the building. A different family member brought the resident back to the building. The investigation did not identify concerns with completion of hourly safety checks or other issues with the service plan not being followed at the time of the elopement. Timecards for the day the resident eloped indicated the maintenance employee was mowing the lawn from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and the unlicensed personnel (ULP) he reported the elopement to was working until 2:52 p.m. Two ULP were working at the time of the elopement but from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., only one ULP was working. Documentation of hourly safety checks completed on the day of the elopement indicated the resident was last checked on at 10:11 a.m. and was not checked on until four hours later, after he had eloped. The 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. safety checks were completed at 2:39 p.m., the 2:30 p.m. safety check was completed at 2:47 p.m., 17 minutes later. The resident was not checked on again until 7:27 p.m. Five safety checks from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. were all documented to have been completed at 7:27 p.m. During an interview, the family member who brought the resident back to the building stated he had been at the facility watching a football game with his relative at the facility. The family member stated he was in the dining room when he heard someone yell “there goes one!” The family member stated he tried to find staff but couldn’t locate anyone and no one was going after the resident, so he quickly ran after him. Since he did not have his cell phone on him, he just started walking with the resident and tried to convince him to go back inside. The family member stated the resident "took off towards the river, going through the woods, by the time I caught up with him he was already in the woods." The family member stated he walked about a quarter mile alongside the resident trying to get him to turn around. At one point, the resident got tired, so they sat down to take a rest and eventually turned back towards the facility. The family member stated, "it must have taken about 45 minutes" and they finally came across an employee who was outside mowing the lawn and flagged him down. The family member stated the employee helped get the resident back into the facility and he went back to visiting with his relative at the facility. During an interview, the maintenance employee who helped bring the resident back into the facility stated he was out mowing the lawn and saw the resident leave the building. He stated it wasn't uncommon for people to take him (the resident) out for a walk on nice days and since someone was with the resident, he wasn't too concerned. The staff member stated a little while later, he saw the resident and the individual again but this time the person with him was frantically waving his arms trying to get his attention. When the maintenance employee approached them, the individual asked him "did you lose someone?" The maintenance employee then told the family member he'd take the resident from there and brought the resident back to the building. The maintenance employee notified the ULP working that the resident had gotten out and another resident’s family member brought him back. The maintenance employee assumed since he reported the incident to someone working in nursing, they would handle the situation from there. During an interview, the licensed assisted living director (LALD) stated the resident got out of the facility when another resident’s family member opened the door and a different family member brought him back to the facility. The LALD stated the family member did not notify staff the resident had gotten out and just brought the resident back inside and left. During a later interview, the LALD stated she was aware the ULP working that day was notified the resident had eloped but failed to report it to the nurse. The LALD stated hourly safety checks should have been completed on time and staff usually knew of the resident’s location. The LALD stated they identified the issue of the elopement being related to a family member letting the resident out and everything had been done as it should. During an interview with the registered nurse (RN), she stated she was not aware a ULP working that day was aware the resident had left the building and failed to immediately report it to the nurse. During an interview, the clinical nurse supervisor (CNS) stated she didn’t know about the elopement until ten days after it happened because the family member who brought the resident back to the building didn’t tell staff about the incident. The CNS stated she did not interview the family member as part of their internal investigation because she did not have his phone number. The resident’s case manager stated the facility had not informed her of the resident’s elopement and she was not aware of any concerns related to the resident’s compliance with wearing a wander guard. The resident’s case manager stated she would have expected the facility to update her if the resident was able to get out of the secured facility. In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined neglect was substantiated. Substantiated: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 19. “Substantiated” means a preponderance of evidence shows that an act that meets the definition of maltreatment occurred. Neglect: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, subdivision 17 Neglect means neglect by a caregiver or self-neglect.
