authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure an alleged violation involving abuse, for one of four
sampled residents (Resident 1), was reported immediately but no later than 2 hours after the allegation was
made, to the facility's administrator (ADM) and other proper authorities as indicated in the facility's policy
and procedure (P&P), titled, Adult Abuse.
This deficient practice resulted in the delay of notification to the State Agency (CDPH, California
Department of Public Health) and the Ombudsman (an official, public advocate, helps to resolve issues
between parties through various types of informal mediation) and had the potential to result in
compromised safety to Resident 1 due to the facility's failure to take corrective actions to prevent further
potential abuse.
