This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the Social Services Director (SSD) and the Business Office Manager (BOM) implemented facility policy and procedure related to reporting allegations or suspicions of abuse to the Administrator, involving two of three residents reviewed for abuse (Residents 1 and 2).

This also resulted in delaying the Department's ability to ensure a complete investigation was initiated timely, potentially exposing Residents 1 and 2 to additional abuse. Findings: On 9/6/19, an unannounced visit was conducted at the facility to investigate three facility reported incidents regarding possible financial abuse. 1. Resident 1 was re-admitted to the facility on 8/21/18, per the facility's Resident Face Sheet. On 9/6/19 at 12:20 P.M., an interview was conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated two to three weeks ago she learned from the BOM, Resident 1 received a large refund check from Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid health care program). The SSD stated certified nursing assistant (CNA 5) reported to the BOM she overheard Resident 1's grandson yelling at the resident about needing money. The SSD stated she did not document the reported incident. The SSD stated she did not investigate or report the incident to the facility's abuse coordinator. The SSD stated one to two days later, CNA 5 reported overhearing Resident 1 and her family talking about money, while sitting in the facility's patio area. CNA 5 told the SSD she overheard the resident with her daughter and grandson talking about going to the bank, so they could get money. The SSD stated she did not document what CNA 5 overheard between Resident 1 and her family members, nor did she inform the facility's abuse coordinator.

The SSD stated the resident appeared upset and was crying. The SSD stated Resident 1 did not want to talk about why she was crying, saying it was a family matter. The SSD stated she never reapproached the resident to inquire what CNA 5 witnessed with the family members or why the patient was crying. The SSD stated she did not inform the facility's abuse coordinator about these incidents, because she did not have proof of any financial abuse. On 9/6/19 at 12:57 P.M., an interview was conducted with the BOM. The BOM stated she gave Resident 1 a refund check on 8/13/19, which was for $36, 231.62.

The BOM stated she reported what the CNA overheard to the SSD, because it was concerning. On 9/6/19 at 1:04 P.M., an interview was conducted with the Administrator (ADM). The ADM stated Resident 1's family interactions did not come to his attention until 9/5/19, when he was informed during an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meeting. On 9/6/19 at 1:08 P.M., an interview was conducted with CNA 5. CNA 5 stated approximately two weeks ago, (exact date unknown) she was providing morning care to Resident 1's roommate.

The SSD stated she did not document what Resident 2 told her and she did not report this allegation to the facility's abuse coordinator. The SSD stated after the resident's statement, she and the BOM had several meetings with Resident 2's DPOA.

The SSD stated she had no actual proof the resident's funds were being diverted, so she did not report this to the facility's abuse coordinator. On 9/6/19 at 1:04 P.M., an interview was conducted with the ADM. The ADM stated he became aware of Resident 2's allegation involving his DPOA on 8/27/19, during an Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) meeting. On 11/21/19 at 12:19 P.M., a subsequent interview was conducted with the SSD. The SSD stated she realized later, she should have reported Resident 1 and 2's financial incidents to the ADM immediately. The SSD stated she also learned she did not need proof for an allegation of abuse, only a suspicion. On 11/21/19 at 12:26 P.M., an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the SSD should have reported both incidents immediately to the abuse coordinator or to her, so an investigation could have been initiated. Per the facility's policy, titled Abuse Investigation and Reporting, dated July 2017, "All reports of resident abuse, ...misappropriation of property ...shall be reported to local, state and federal agencies (as defined by current regulations) and thoroughly investigated by facility management ...
