Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its abuse and change of condition
policy for two residents (Resident 1 and Resident 2) of four sampled residents when the facility staff did not:
Residents Affected - Few
Notify the residents' family representatives and physicians,
Document an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT- a multidisciplinary team who ensures a comprehensive and
coordinated approach to patient care) note, and
Initiate care plans to provide person-centered care for both residents for an allegation of
resident-to-resident abuse.
This failure decreased the facility's potential to prevent recurrence of abuse between Resident 1 and
Resident 2.

4/14/25 indicated, On 4/9/25, the [Resident 1] reported to the staff that her roommate [Resident 2], came to

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an allegation of abuse was reported
within the required timeframe for two residents (Resident 1 & Resident 2) of four sampled residents when
an allegation of resident-to-resident abuse was reported to the California Department of Public Health
(Department) five days later.
This failure of timely reporting had the potential to cause a delayed response by enforcement agencies to
ensure resident safety.
Findings:
A review of a facility document dated and received by the Department on 4/14/25, indicated an allegation of
suspected dependent adult/elder abuse had been made on 4/09/25 related to a resident-to-resident
altercation between Resident 1 and Resident 2.
During an interview on 4/25/25 at 11:28 a.m., the Administrator stated the facility had mistakenly sent the
five-day abuse investigation summary to the Department since the facility was not required to report abuse
at all when the residents involved had dementia (memory loss), and the incident had not resulted in serious
bodily injury. The Administrator confirmed the allegation on 4/9/25 had not been reported to the Department
until 4/14/25.
A review of the facility's policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation-Reporting and
Investigating, revised 9/22, indicated, All reports of resident abuse .are reported to local, state, and federal
agencies .If resident abuse .is suspected, the suspicion must be reported immediately to the administrator
and to other officials according to state law .'Immediately' is defined as .within two hours of an allegation
involving abuse.
