“MDH substantiated maltreatment or licensing violation finding”
Full inspector notes
Finding: Substantiated, individual responsibility S N O Nature of Investigation: C The Minnesota Department of Health investigated an allegation of maltreatment, in accordance E with the Minnesota Reporting of MRaltreatment of Vulnerable Adults Act, Minn. Stat. 626.557, and to evaluate compliance with applicable licensing standards for the provider type. R O F Initial Investigation Allegation(s): T The alleged perpetrator (AP), facility staff, abused a resident when the AP had sexual contact S with the resident. E U Q Investigative Findings and Conclusion: E The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) determined abuse was substantiated. The AP was R responsible for the maltreatment. The resident consistently reported a traumatic sexual encounter with the AP. The resident stated the AP sexually touched her vagina when she was laying naked on the bed. The investigator conducted interviews with facility staff members, including administrative staff, nursing staff, and unlicensed staff. The investigator contacted family and law enforcement. The investigation included review of the resident records, hospital records, facility internal investigation, facility incident reports, personnel files, staff schedules, law enforcement report, related facility policy and procedures. Also, the investigator observed location of the resident’s apartment in the memory care, staff, and resident interactions. The resident lived assisted living memory care unit due to diagnoses that included Alzheimer’s disease. The resident’s service plan indicated the resident independently completed hygiene, dressing, and toileting with minimal supervision, but staff administered medications. The resident’s assessment indicated the resident required some redirection when anxious and occasionally refused cares. The resident’s room was located at the farthest end of the unit, out of view of common areas. D E An incident report indicated the resident told an unlicensed staff the AP said sVexual things to I her, requested the resident stand naked in front of the AP, and made the resident E C uncomfortable by talking about doing things to her. E R During an interview, the unlicensed staff stated the resident told her of an uncomfortable N incident with a staff the resident identified as the AP. The unlicensed staff stated she followed O procedure and sent the resident to talk with a nurse. I T A R During an interview, the nurse stated the resident needed little supervision, and occasionally E forgot some family members, but had never reported anything of a sexual nature. The nurse D stated the resident told her the AP said nasty things to her. The nurse stated she asked the I S resident if the incident had to do with the AP assisting the resident with getting her pajamas on, N and the resident stated “No, this was diffOerent” and described how the AP made the resident lie C down naked and touched her sexually. The nurse stated a skin check revealed a bruise on the E resident’s arm. The nurse stated she reported the incident to an administrative staff and a R family member took the resident to the hospital for an exam. R O During an interview, a family member stated the resident had told her about an incident where F the AP “molested” the resident. The family member stated she had never made a similar T S accusation. The family member stated the resident said the AP scared her, made her lie down, E and touched her sexually. The family member stated the resident was examined at the hospital U and had a bruQise on her arm that looked fresh. The family member said the police had E contacted her and told her they were processing the sexual assault kit. R During an interview, the resident stated the AP was not in her room a lot, but the resident was uncomfortable when the AP was around her. The resident stated the AP behaved like he believed, “a female was less than a man.” The resident stated sometimes she forgot things unintentionally, but “if it was traumatic enough” she remembered, and now “doesn’t want to think about,” what happened with the AP. The resident stated she felt safer now that the facility fired the AP, and she knew police were involved. The resident said the police pressed charges against the AP. Hospital records indicated the resident told the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) that the AP engaged sexually with the resident more than once, and it mostly happened in the evening. During an examination with the SANE nurse, the resident stated the AP told the resident to disrobe and he would “do stuff with me”, giving a specific example. The resident told the SANE nurse that she could not forget the way the AP treated her “like a thing he could play with.” The resident said she was scared, and it was hard for her to talk about as it made her “all jittery.” The resident cooperated with evidence collection and received medication for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. D Law enforcement provided a portion of the requested information as the incident was in active E status. V I E C The AP declined an interview. E R In conclusion, the Minnesota Department of Health determined abuse was substantiated. N O Substantiated: Minnesota Statutes, section 626.5572, Subdivision 19.
