source and misappropriation of resident
property, are reported immediately, but not
later than 2 hours after the allegation is made,
if the events that cause the allegation involve
abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not
later than 24 hours if the events that cause the
allegation do not involve abuse and do not
result in serious bodily injury, to the
administrator of the facility and to other officials
(including to the State Survey Agency and adult
protective services where state law provides for
jurisdiction in long-term care facilities) in
accordance with State law through established
procedures.
§483.12(c)(4) Report the results of all
investigations to the administrator or his or her
designated representative and to other officials
in accordance with State law, including to the
State Survey Agency, within 5 working days of
the incident, and if the alleged violation is
verified appropriate corrective action must be
taken.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility staff failed to report a suspected
allegation of resident abuse in a timely manner
for one of three residents (Resident 1), when
housekeeping A (HK A) witnessed certified
nursing assistant B (CNA B) slapped Resident
1 on the left lower leg between 11/2/17 and
11/4/17 but did not report it until 11/17/17. This
failure had the potential to delay identification
and implementation of appropriate corrective
action and put the residents at risk for abuse.
Findings:
During an interview on 11/28/17 at 1:35 p.m.
with HK A (a non-English speaking staff), with
interpreter C (IPR C), she stated between

11/2/17 and 11/4/17 she witnessed Resident 1
take linen and washcloths from the linen cart.
CNA B went to retrieve them from Resident 1.
Resident 1 did not allow CNA B to do so and
CNA B slapped Resident 1 on her left lower
leg. HK A stated she did not report it to anyone
until 11/17/17, which was 13 to 15 days later,
when she told a CNA about it. That CNA told a
nurse, and the nurse reported it to the social
worker. During a telephone interview on
11/29/17 at 10:25 a. m. with IPR C, HK A
acknowledged she should have reported what
she had witnessed.
Review of HK A's orientation document
indicated HK A signed the facility's Reporting
Elder Abuse on 6/26/17 stating she read the
facility's Elder Abuse policy and procedure,
viewed "Your Legal Duty" video and took pre
and post video tests.
The Department received a faxed report from
the facility on 11/17/17 which indicated a
housekeeping personnel reported she saw a
CNA from the night shift slap Resident 1 on her
lower leg.
The facility's policy and procedure, "Elder

indicated "... all alleged violations and all
substantiated incidents involving abuse,
neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, ... will be
reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours
after the allegation is made, if the events that
cause the allegation involve abuse or result in
serious bodily injury, ... to the administrator of
the community and to other officials, including
to the State Survey Agency... in accordance
with State law."
