This failure had the potential for Resident 5 to be vulnerable to further abuse and emotional distress. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Policy on Abuse Prevention and Mandated Reporting (undated) showed all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment including injuries of an unknown source and misappropriation of property will be reported by the facility Administrator or his/her designee to the State licensing/certification agency responsible for surveying/licensing the facility.

The facility failed to report the abuse allegation timely as per the facility's P&P.
