44 BURLINGTON HEALTH & REHAB 475014 300 PEARL STREET BURLINGTON VT 5401 2019-06-26 609 D 1 0 NSOU11 > Based on observations, record review, and interviews the facility failed to assure that a report of sexual abuse was made to the administrator of the facility and to other officials (including to the State Survey Agency and adult protective services where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in accordance with State law through established procedures for Residents #2 & #3. Findings include: Per observations conducted during the survey both Residents #2 & #3 were observed to be fully mobile. Resident #3 has a BIMS of 15 and is his/her own decision maker and Resident #2 has Dementia and his/her Daughter is the decision maker for this resident. The residents were observed by both surveyors (separately) to spend time together and they interact playfully. Per record review Resident #2 was the Alleged Perpetrator in the intake which initiated this investigation. The accusation is that Resident #2 slapped Resident #3 in the face. In a second incident Resident #2 became upset and grabbed R#3's upper arm causing bruising. The facility reported the incident and it was investigated during this visit. When reviewing the record a progress note was found dated 6/2/19. The note stated that the residents were found seated in the back sitting area and Resident #2 had his/her hand up the shirt of Resident #3. Both residents were laughing and they were separated. There is no evidence that this incident was reported to the State Survey Agency. Additionally the facility Executive Director and the Director of Nursing Services stated that they were unaware of the incident. 2020-09-01
