interview and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of resident- to resident abuse to local,
state and federal officials (including to the State Survey Agency and adult protective services where state
law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) within two (2) hours, for 2 of 2 sampled residents
(Residents 1 and 2) per facility policy. This resulted in a delay of an onsite inspection by the California
Department of Public Health (CAPD) to ensure the alleged abuse was investigated, to protect and prevent
further abuse of the residents in the facility.Findings:During a review of Resident 1's admission Record,
(undated), the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses that included but not limited to chronic respiratory failure (a condition that occurs when the lungs
cannot get enough oxygen into the blood or eliminate enough carbon dioxide from the body), unspecified
dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD - a slow
progressive narrowing of the blood flow to the arms and legs). During a review of Resident 1's History &
Physical (H&P), dated 6/9/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 1 did not have the capacity to understand and
make decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool),
dated 12/26/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had modified independent (some difficulty in new
situations only) cognitive skills (ability to understand and make decisions) for daily decision making. The
MDS also indicated Resident 1 needed setup or clean-up assistance (helper sets up or cleans up; resident
completes activity) with eating, oral and personal hygiene and supervision or touching assistance (helper
provides verbal cues and/or touching/steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes
activity) with toileting hygiene. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record, (undated), the admission
Record indicated Resident 2 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included
unspecified dementia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar
control and poor wound healing), and peripheral vascular disease. During a review of Resident 2's H&P,
dated 5/10/2025, the H&P indicated that Resident 2 did not have the capacity to understand and make
decisions. During a review of Resident 2's MDS, dated 12/12/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 with
severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicates Resident 2 was
dependent (helper does all of the effort) with oral, personal and toileting hygiene, shower/bathing self and
partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating. During an interview on
1/23/2026 at 3:21 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated on Wednesday 1/21/2026, she
and the Administrator were informed by the Director of Staffing (DSD) regarding an alleged incident
between Residents 1 and 2 on Sunday, 1/18/2026, where Resident 2 allegedly slapped Resident 1. The
