authorities.

three sampled residents (Resident 1) was reported timely to California Department of Public Health
(CDPH-local stated agency) and local ombudsman (representatives assist residents in long-term care
facilities with issues related to day-to-day care, health, safety, and personal preferences). This failure had
the potential for Resident 1 not to be protected from further abuse and resulted in emotional distress.
