Certified nursing assistant (CNA) 1 responded to Resident 1's request for assistance with a raised voice, angry demeanor, and threatening and aggressive posturing on 1/6/26.2. Charge Nurse (CN) 1 and CNA 2 failed to report the incident between CNA 1 and Resident 1 as an allegation of abuse to the facility's administrator.4. The facility did not investigate and report the allegation of abuse to the state agency (California Department of Public Health, CDPH) for three days.5. The facility continued to assign CNA 1, with known behavioral issues, to provide care to 63 residents on Unit A and Unit B on 1/7/26 and 1/8/26 prior to beginning their investigation into the allegation of abuse on 1/9/26. As a result of these failures, Resident 1 expressed feeling scared, worried, and withdrawn from socialization due to her emotional distress. Furthermore, this failure to identify Resident 1's allegation as abuse posed an immediate jeopardy to the safety and well-being of the 63 other residents on Unit A and Unit B where CNA 1 had been assigned during the facility's three-day investigation and reporting delay.Findings: On 1/9/26, CDPH received a faxed SOC 341 (standardized abuse reporting form) from the facility dated 1/9/26.

Allegations or suspicions of abuse will continue to be reported promptly, according to the required regulatory timeline, and Form SOC 341will be submitted. Staff are educated that they are mandated reporters and they have the right and obligation to report abuse or suspicion of abuse, regardless of the opinions of others.

Staff in all departments will receive in-service education F600 Staff Training: Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Prevention on 2/25/26 and 2/26/26. Staff on scheduled days off, leave, or paid time off will complete the education on the date of their return and prior to providing patient care. This in-service describes the different types of abuse or neglect, risk factors, signs of abuse, protecting residents during an investigation, reporting requirements, and prevention practices. A thorough investigation of the allegations will continue to be conducted, including resident interviews, staff interviews, other witness interviews, employee personnel file review, resident record review, and other items as deemed necessary or that arise during the course of the investigation.

The facility did not identify, report, or investigate an allegation of abuse in a timely manner.2. The facility did not thoroughly investigate the allegation at the time of its report. 3. The facility did not assess the risk to other residents when CNA 1 was assigned to provide resident care for two days after an abuse allegation was made.4.
