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 and record review the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse (the willful infliction of injury,
unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment with resulting physical harm, pain or mental
anguish) on 8/4/2025 for one (1) of two (2) sampled residents (Residents 1) within two (2) hour timeframe
to the State Survey Agency (SA, where state law provides for jurisdiction in long-term care facilities), the
state ombudsman (advocates for residents of nursing homes, board and care homes and assisted living
facilities), and local law enforcement. This deficient practice had the potential to compromise or impede the
protection of Resident 1, which could affect the resident's emotional and mental wellbeing.Findings:During
a review of Resident 1's admission Record, the admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE]. Resident 1's diagnoses included right hip fracture (a partial or complete break in the
upper part of the thigh bone [femur] where it meets the pelvic bone), right hip hemiarthroplasty (a surgical
procedure that replaces the femoral head of the hip with metal component), history of falling, major
depressive disorder (a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest), and
insomnia (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep) During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set
(MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 7/26/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had intact cognitive
(mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The
MDS indicated Resident 1 required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or
touching/ steadying and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity) in toileting hygiene,
lower body dressing, putting on and taking off footwear, roll left and right, sit to lying, sit to stand, chair/
bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, walk 10, and 50 feet. During an observation and interview on 8/6/2025
at 6:42 AM, Resident 1 was observed sitting on her bed. Resident 1 stated someone came to her room,
came close to her and stared at her on Saturday (8/2/2025) at 6:30 AM. The curtain was surrounding her
bed, then one man came in and she was completely nude, and the man saw her nude. Resident 1 stated
she should have called the police. Resident 1 was very upset and clenched her fists while telling the story.
During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 6:54 AM, with Certified Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated
Resident 1 stated a man came into her room and looked at her while she was naked. We should report
abuse within 2 hours because we have to make sure that nothing happened to her or someone abused her.
We have to prove it to make things clear, because she can be psychologically affected by the incident.
During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 7:08 AM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse 2 (LVN2), LVN 2 stated, on
Monday night (8/4/2025) Resident 1 said somebody came inside her room and she was naked, and a man
looked at her. It was endorsed to me by the previous shift that night. If something was mentioned like that, it
should be reported right away to the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS) and to the Abuse coordinator. It
can be traumatizing to Resident 1. She can suffer and can affect her well-being. During an interview on
8/6/2025 at 7:19 AM, with LVN 2, LVN 2

stated, there was no abuse monitoring that was done on my shift. I did not report allegations of abuse.
Resident 1 can continue feeling scared, feeling not safe in the facility. I am not sure if the previous shift
reported abuse. I thought they did the report, because when they endorsed it to me, I thought it was being
handled. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 7:54 AM with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated, Resident
1 went to her appointment on Monday 8/4/2025. We received a call from the medical office. Resident 1 told
the Doctor that she does not want to go back to the facility because a man was staring at her in her room.
Resident 1 stating a man was staring at her while she was naked Saturday morning (8/2/2025). I did not
report it to the survey agency, police department and ombudsman. During a concurrent interview and
record review on 8/6/2025 at 8:08 with Administrator (ADM), the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled,
Elder/ Dependent Adult Abuse, revised 3/22/2024 was reviewed. The P&P indicated the facility will report
any reasonable suspicion of a crime against a resident and all alleged violations involving abuse. ADM
stated, we did not report it because there was no physical interaction with Resident 1. We did not report the
incident to the CDPH, police and Ombudsman. We should have reported it within 2 hours when we were
made aware on Monday (8/4/2025). During a concurrent interview and record review on 8/6/2025 at 8:17
AM with DON, the facility's P&P titled, Elder/ Dependent Adult Abuse, revised 3/22/2024 was reviewed. The
P&P indicated Report to the State Agency and one or more law enforcement entities for the political
subdivision in which the facility is located any reasonable suspicion of a crime against any individual who is
a resident of, or is receiving care from, the facility. DON stated, we did not report to the CDPH, police and
Ombudsman. During my interview with Resident 1, she was telling stories, and I cannot say which one is
real. we did not monitor Resident 1 for abuse allegation and no care plan for abuse allegation. During an
interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:38 AM with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated, Monday (8/4/2025) Resident 1 went to her
appointment. Resident 1 does not want to go back to the facility. There was a delay for her because they
had to wait for the police. There was an alleged abuse complaint. I am not sure when it happened but
Resident 1 stated that somebody went to her room and she was naked, the male staff went too close to
her. I informed RNS 1. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 10:45 AM with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated, Resident 1
was saying, she was naked, and somebody just walked in her room and stare at her. I will be embarrassed
if someone stares at me, will feel violated or abused. It can affect Resident 1 mentally or psychologically. It
is suspicion of abuse because we are not sure, but we should have reported it right away. We should
always report abuse to protect the Resident's rights. During an interview on 8/6/2025 at 11:50 AM with RNS
1, RNS 1 stated, I was aware of the abuse allegation from the appointment last Monday (8/4/2025).
Resident 1 refused to go back to the facility. Resident 1 told me she does not want any male staff in her
room. She wants to call the police, and she wants to go home at that time. During an interview on 8/6/2025
at 11:58 AM with RNS 1, RNS 1 stated, If suspected allegation of abuse was not reported, the Resident
might be neglected because the issue was not addressed. We should report to make sure we can protect
Resident's Rights. She will not be monitored for allegation of abuse. During a review of the facility's Policy
and Procedure (P&P) titled, Elder/ Dependent Adult Abuse, revised 3/22/2024, the P&P indicated the
facility will report any reasonable suspicion of a crime against a resident and all alleged violations involving
abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of
resident property. The P&P also indicated,5. The facility will annually notify covered individuals of their
obligations to comply with requirements to ensure reporting of crimes. Each covered individual will:a.
