Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to report an incident of alleged resident financial
abuse to one of two sampled residents (Resident 1) to the California Department of Public Health (State
Agency) not later than two hours after the allegation was made.
This deficient practice may potentially resulted Resident 1 being subjected to additional financial abuse.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record indicated Resident 1 was admitted on [DATE], with
diagnoses that included heart failure (heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body ' s needs) and
hypertension (high blood pressure).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Physician Order Sheet indicated an order to admit the resident under
Hospice Care (a program that gives special care to people who are near the end of life and stopped
treatment to cure or control their disease) due to diagnosis of chronic systolic congestive heart failure ( a
specific type of heart failure that occurs in the heart ' s left ventricle).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (a standardized assessment and care planning tool)
dated 6/21/23, indicated the resident had short term memory recall problem and required limited assistance
(staff provide weight bearing support) in most levels of activities of daily living with one-person physical
assist.
During a concurrent observation and interview, on 7/21/23 at 2:10 p.m., Resident 1 was lying in bed alert
and coherent. Resident 1 stated, he notified Family Member 1, that Family Member 2 used his pin number
to get $300 to $500 from his debit card without his permission. Resident 1 stated, Family Member 1
reported to facility ' s Social Service staff about the unauthorized use of his debit card by Family Member 2.
During a concurrent interview and record review, on 7/21/23 at 3:21 p.m., with the Social Service Designee
(SSD), Resident 1's Interview Record dated 7/10/23, indicated the SSD received a phone call from Family
Member 1 at 9:09 a.m. on 7/10/23. Family Member 1 notified the SSD that Family Member 2 had previously
withdrawn a total amount of $3,000 from Resident 1 ' s bank account without the resident ' s consent.
Family Member 1 believes Family Member 2 was only visiting Resident 1 to ask for his debit card. Family
Member 1 informed the SSD that Family Member 2 had the pin number to Resident 1 ' s debit card and
would attempt to withdraw more money after visiting the resident on 7/10/23 or

7/11/23. The facility ' s fax transmittal verification report indicated the SSD sent the SOC 341 (report of
suspected dependent adult/elder abuse) to the State Agency on 7/11/23 at 9:11 a.m. (24 hours later) to
notify the State Agency of the alleged financial abuse to Resident 1. The SSD stated, the allegation of
financial abuse was not reported to the State Agency either by phone or fax within two hours after the
allegation was made because the Hospice Social Worker told her it was only an allegation; no proof and
facility have 24 hours to report to the State Agency. The SSD stated, she was instructed by the
Administrator to report the alleged resident financial abuse not later than two hours to the State Agency, but
she failed to do so.

to ensure that facility ' s policy of reporting the allegation of resident abuse not later than two hours to DPH
was followed.

12/19/2022, indicated reporting of alleged violations to State Agency immediately, but not later than two
