hours to the State (licensing agency), the Ombudsman (an advocate for residents of nursing homes, board
and care centers, and assisted living facilities), and law enforcement, and

reporting time frames and added, the facility ' s policy was to report abuse allegation within 24 hours if

timely could put the patient safety at risk and could put the resident at risk for feeling fearful and distrustful
of staff.
