observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an allegation of abuse was reported to
the State survey agency within two hours for two of five residents, (Residents 2 and 3).This failure had the
potential for a delay in the investigations and interventions to prevent further incidents of abuse.

allegation of physical abuse. A review of Resident 2's medical record indicated the resident was admitted

simultaneous malfunction of many peripheral nerves throughout the body), and depression, (a mood
disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest).A review of Resident 3's History
