thought she had 24 hours to report after conferencing with her corporate nurse regarding the incident. She
said she originally thought it needed to be reported to the state within two hours and should have reported
it. She said she now realizes this was an allegation of resident-to-resident abuse and is required to be
reported to the state agency within two hours. She said she had been re-trained by the administrator and all
staff in serviced regarding abuse and neglect and reporting timeframes. She said the incident with Resident
#3 making a statement regarding a gun on 07/30/2025 was not originally reported as stated in the nurses
note, she said the reporting staff reported to her Resident #3 was watching a western and said he wanted a
gun like the cowboys, and also seemed restless, so she instructed the nurse to contact Psych services for
restlessness and to monitor Resident #3 every 15 minutes and if other behaviors noted to let her know. The
DON said she assessed Resident #3 after the reported incident and he was in no distress and when asked
about wanting a gun, he stated all cowboys have guns and I just wanted one. She said Resident # 3 denied
having any intentions of harming others or himself. She said upon reviewing Resident #3's medical records
after the reported incident she noticed RN D had not documented regarding the behavior, so he was
counselled, and a late entry was documented. She said the late entry documented on 07/31/2025 in
Resident #3's medical record was not the same verbiage that was originally reported on 07/30/2025 during
the onset of the incident. She said when reviewed the late entry on 08/01/2025 she and the facility psych
services reassessed Resident #3, and he denied suicidal or homicidal ideations and could not recall the
incident regarding wanting to be a cowboy with a gun. She said if she would have been notified of a suicidal
or homicidal ideation originally, she would have reported the allegation to the state agency within 2 hours.
She said Resident #3 was a new resident to the facility and she did not know if his allegation was a
behavior, experiencing sun downers, or the TV show triggered a post traumatic incident. She said she
expected staff to report all allegations of abuse accurately to the abuse coordinator or designee and all
allegations of abuse should be reported to the state agency within 2 hours of the allegations. During an
interview on 08/07/2025 at 2:20 p.m., the Administrator said she was out on vacation during the last 2
weeks of July 2025, and the DON and corporate nurse were the designated abuse coordinators. She said
reviewing back over the two incidents with Resident #3 she would have categorized the incidents as abuse
and reported the allegations to the state agency within 2 hours. She said she had re-trained the DON
regarding reporting abuse allegations and to utilize the long-term care regulatory provider letter issued in
August of 2024 for guidance. She said her expectations was for all allegations of abuse to be reported to
her/abuse coordinator immediately. She said allegations of abuse should be report within 2 hours to the
State Agency. Record review of facility policy titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation dated 07/2022
indicated: It is the policy of this facility to provide protections for the health, welfare and rights of each
resident by developing and implementing written policies and procedures that prohibit and prevent abuse,
neglect, exploitation and misappropriation of resident property. VII. Reporting/Response: A. The facility will
have written procedures that include: 1. Reporting of all alleged violations to the Administrator, state
agency, adult protective services and to all other required agencies (e.g., law enforcement when applicable)
within specified timeframes: a. 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 b. Not later than 24 hours
if the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury.
