Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to report an alleged verbal abuse incident to the California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) State Survey Agency within two hours for one of three sampled
residents (Resident 1). Resident 1 alleged Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1 yelled at her and called her a
liar in front of everyone in the dining room. Resident 1 ' s allegation of verbal abuse was made on
11/28/2023 and the first report CDPH the State Survey Agency received from the facility was on 12/1/2023.
This failure had the potential to delay the investigation and affect the psychosocial well-being of Resident 1
and subject other residents to verbal abuse.
