the allegation at the time of occurrence because the only other nurse in the building was LPN #205's (the alleged perpetratror's) spouse. Interview on 10/25/24 at 12:15 P.M. with the Administrator confirmed CNAs #163 and #166 did not report the allegation of abuse per LPN #205 towards Resident #9 in a timely manner. The Administrator further confirmed the facility SRI was not initiated in a timely manner with the SRI timed on 10/11/24 at 8:38 A.M. which was approximately four hours after the alleged incident. Telephone interview on 10/25/24 at 12:31 P.M. with the DON confirmed CNAs #163 and #166 should have reported the allegation of abuse per LPN #205 towards Resident #9 at the time of occurrence which was 10/11/24 between 4:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. The DON confirmed the CNAs stated they did not report the incident when it occurred due to fear of retaliation by LPN #205 and his spouse who were the only nurses working at the time of the incident. Review of the facility policy titled Residents Right to Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation Policy and Procedure undated revealed the facility staff should report allegations of abuse to administration immediately and the facility would report allegations of physical abuse to the state agency immediately. This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00158949.
