(c) Abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In addition
to the freedom from abuse, neglect, and
exploitation requirements in § 483.12, facilities

review, the facility failed to follow their abuse
policy when an injury of unknown origin for one
of three residents (Resident 1) was not
reported to the immediate supervisor, to the
administrator, and to the appropriate agencies
in a timely manner. This failure had the
potential to affect the resident's safety and
protection from harm.
Findings:

8/9/17. Resident 1 had diagnoses of cerebral
infarction (stroke) and muscle weakness.
