This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview, record review, and facility policy, the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1's sister reported an incident of alleged abuse to the facility. This failure placed Resident 1 at potential risk of further abuse and prevented a timely and independent investigation by the Department. Findings: Resident 1 was a long term resident of the facility with multiple diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a lung disease that blocks airflow and makes it difficult to breathe). According to the most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS-an assessment tool) dated 2/21/19, Resident 1 scored 13 out of 15 in a Brief Interview for Mental Status indicating he was cognitively intact. In an interview on 3/12/19, at 10:46 a.m., Resident 1 stated licensed nurse (LN) 1 threw an inhaler (delivers medication into the body via the lungs) on his chest and used profanity that made him uncomfortable. Resident 1 added, he informed his sister of the incident and his sister reported the incident to the facility a few weeks ago. Resident 1 confirmed LN 1 still provided care to him since the FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: 5TRR11 Facility ID: CA030000075 If continuation sheet 2 of 4 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.
