This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an allegation of abuse was reported to the state agency California Department of Public Health (CDPH) immediately, but no later than two hours, for one resident (Resident 101).

The DON stated the allegation of abuse occured on September 16, 2018, at 11:30 a.m. (the allegation was reported 27 hours after the incident of the alleged abuse). On September 17, 2018, at 3:50 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) 1 was interviewed. RN 1 stated the alleged incident of abuse occured on September 16, 2018, at 11:30 a.m. RN 1 stated Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 allegedly had an attitude towards Resident 101. RN 1 stated CNA 1 allegedly took Resident 101's call light away. RN 1 stated CNA 1 was allowed to work until the end of the shift. RN 1 stated the nurse who was working on September 16, 2018, did not notify the DON regarding the allegation of abuse. On September 19, 2018, at 10:18 a.m., RN 3 was interviewed.

Resident 101 stated CNA 1 prepared to provide care to her, so CNA 1 pulled the drapes around Resident 101's bed, then moved her call light away, and removed the wash cloth from her hand. Resident 101 stated she wanted her wash cloth back, so she asked CNA 1 to return it. Resident 101 stated when CNA 1 returned the wash cloth to her, CNA 1 told her "Here." Resident 101 stated CNA 1 returned the wash cloth with an "attitude." Resident 101 stated she told CNA 1, "You do not have to yell." Resident 101 stated she was not able to answer CNA 1 right away when CNA 1 asked her if she wanted another CNA to take care of her because she was, "stunned." Resident 101 stated CNA 1 "stormed out of the room." Resident 101 stated CNA 1 did not provide her the care before she left her room, so she called for help after CNA 1 left the room and another staff went to help her. Resident 101 stated she was "scared" of CNA 1. The facility policy titled, "Abuse, Prohibition of; Training, Investigating and Reporting," dated April 2016, was reviewed.
