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.

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.
