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
interview, medical record review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement their abuse P&P for
ensuring the reporting of a reasonable suspicion of a crime in accordance with section 1150B of the Act
when the facility failed to report in a timely manner an allegation of staff-to-resident abuse to the local State
and Federal agencies for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1). This failure had the potential for the
abuse allegation going unreported and uninvestigated.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation – Reporting and
Investigating dated 2001 showed all reports of resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, or
theft/misappropriation of resident property are reported to the local State, and Federal agencies (as
required by current regulations) and thoroughly investigated by the facility management. The suspicion of
abuse must be reported immediately to the administrator and to other officials according to state law. The
abuse must be reported within two hours of an allegation involving abuse or result in serious bodily injury;
or within 24 hours of an allegation that does not involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury. Upon
receiving any allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of resident property or injury of
unknown source, the administrator is responsible for determining what actions (if any) are needed for the
protection of residents.
Closed medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 2/11/25. Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE], and discharged on 1/21/25.
Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 1/4/25, showed Resident 1 could make needs known but
could not make medical decisions.
Review of Resident 1's Nurses Note on 11/17/24 at 0800 hours, showed Resident 1 had an unwitnessed
fall resulting in an injury. The note showed Resident 1 reported to the staff three different allegations as to
how she fell and got injured. Resident 1's allegations included a male CNA who went into her room and
attacked her.
Review of Resident 1's SSD Note dated 11/19/24 at 1741 hours, showed Resident 1 was evaluated by the
PET Team on 11/18/24. Resident 1 was accepted to the acute care hospital for the psychiatric evaluation
related to delusion that Resident 1 was beatenup by a staff which was the reason for her broken nose and
refusing to allow the staff to care for her.
Further review of the closed medical record showed no documented evidence the abuse allegation was
