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 report an allegation of abuse timely for one of two
sampled residents, Resident 1, when Resident 1's allegation of harm was not reported to the Department
within two hours. This failure of timely reporting had the potential to cause a delayed response by
enforcement agencies to ensure resident safety.On 1/31/25 at 4:40 p.m., the Department received a
document titled Report of Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse (a critical document used by mandated
reporters to report allegations of abuse of elders; also called SOC 341) from the facility that indicated, On
1/31/25 at 2:45 pm during chart review Nurse Consultant identified a progress note written that a resident
felt that she was abused by the nurse who did her treatment on Sunday on 1/26/25 . The report further
indicated that Resident 1 was the resident who reported the abuse.During a record review on 12/23/25 at 4
p.m., Resident 1's face sheet indicated an admission date of 11/18/24, age of 81 years, and multiple
diagnoses including heart failure (heart is too weak to adequately pump blood and oxygen out to meet the
needs of the body) and venous insufficiency (failure of the veins to adequately circulate the blood,
especially from the lower extremities). Resident 1's nurse progress note written by Licensed Nurse (LN) A,
dated 1/30/25 at 5:14 p.m., indicated, This nurse was assisting the treatment nurse with treatments 1/29/25
at about 1130 AM. Resident brought up that someone had came [sic] by at about 10:30 at night to speak
with her about the incident that occurred on Sunday with the fill in treatment Nurse [staff named], who on
1/26/25 performed the wrong treatment, by using scissors to 'debride' [remove damaged tissue] the thick
dry skin on her legs, that the resident expressed muliple times for her to stop because she was having 9/10
pain screaming and gripping onto the bed, [staff named] refused to stop. After providing education the
resident stated what happened to her was abuse . This resident expressed she feels unsafe . This nurse
and [treatment] nurse immediately reported this to our administrator . both [treatment] nurse and this nurse
felt more needed to be done to protect our resident who expressed multiple times she doesn't feel safe, and
feels she was abused during this [treatment] error.During a phone interview on 12/30/25 at 9:24 a.m., LN A
stated she remembered speaking with Resident 1 and writing the progress note dated 1/30/25 about the
conversation. LN A stated she felt what Resident 1 told her on 1/29/25 about the painful treatment and
feeling abused was reportable to the Department. LN A stated Administrator was responsible for reporting
allegations of abuse and it needed to be reported to the Department within two hours.During a phone
interview on 1/13/26 at 3:14 p.m., Administrator stated allegations of abuse needed to be reported to the
Department within two hours.Review of facility policy Abuse Prevention and Management, last revised
