Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to implement their policy to immediately report an
allegation of abuse, for one resident out of three sampled residents (Resident 1), when Resident 1 notified
staff of an allegation of abuse on 4/13/25 but was not reported to California Department of Public Health
(the Department) until 4/15/245.
This failure had the potential to leave Resident 1 vulnerable to further harm or abuse, delay the
investigation and corrective actions to address the allegation of abuse.
Findings:
On 4/15/25, the Department received a report from the facility which indicated Resident 1 accused Certified
Nursing Assistant A (CNA A) of sexually abusing her.
During an interview on 4/15/25, at 1:45 PM, the Administrator stated the incident was reported to him
sometime around 4 PM on 4/14/25.
During an interview on 4/15/25, at 3:10 PM, CNA A stated while he was taking care of Resident 1 with CNA
C on 4/13/25, Resident 1 accused him of raping her. CNA A stated he reported the incident to Licensed
Nurse B (LN B) but was not aware if LN B reported the allegation of abuse to anyone.
A review of staffing assignment indicated both CNA A and CNA C worked the afternoon shift on 4/13/25.
During a follow-up interview on 4/15/25, at 3:33 PM, CNA A on speaker phone and in the presence of the
Director of Nursing (DON) stated, on 4/13/25 Resident 1 had accused him of raping her. CNA A stated he
reported the incident to stated LN B who removed Resident 1 from his resident assignment.
During an interview on 4/15/25 at 3:54 PM, CNA C stated Resident 1 had a violent reaction to CNA A when
he joined her to care for Resident 1on 4/13/25. Resident 1 had told CNA C that he , indicating CNA A, had
raped her and was going to kill her. CNA C stated CNA A also heard Resident 1's allegation. CNA C added
she heard CNA A report the incident to LN B on 4/13/25 and LN B then removed Resident 1 from CNA A's
assignment.
During an interview on 4/15/25 at 4:01 PM, the DON confirmed, LN B was supposed to report to her or to
the Administrator immediately after the incident was reported to her but had not.
