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 ensure one out of three sampled residents (Resident 4) an
accusation of sexual abuse was reported within two hours.
This deficient practice of not reporting the accusation of sexual abuse by Resident 4 had the potential to
cause psychosocial harm (factors that could harm someone ' s mental health).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 4 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE]. Resident 4 diagnoses dementia (a
progressive state of decline in mental abilities), depressive disorder (a mental condition characterized by
persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and other symptoms that can significantly impair daily
functioning), and transient cerebral ischemic attack (a lack of blood flow to the brain).
During a review of Resident 4 ' s History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/4/2024, the H&P indicated Resident
4 did not have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 4 ' s Minimum Data Set ([MDS]- a resident assessment tool), dated 5/9/2025
the MDS indicated Resident 4 ' s cognition (ability to learn, reason, remember, understand, and make
decisions) had the ability to understand. The MDS indicated Resident 4 was dependent (helper does all of
the effort. Residents do none of the effort to complete the activity) on staff for showering, toileting hygiene,
and dressing.
During a review of facility ' s Social Services Notes, dated 5/16/2025, the Social Services Notes indicated
Centinela Hospital Social Worker called to notify that resident reported she had been sexually assaulted at
the facility.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/21/25 at 1:49 p.m. with Social Service Director (SSD),
Resident 4 ' s Social Services Notes were reviewed. The Social Services Notes indicated Centinela
Hospital Social Worker called to notify that resident reported she had been sexually assaulted at the facility.
The SSD stated the Social Worker from Centinela Hospital Social Worker had called and told her Resident
4 had stated she was sexually assaulted at the facility. The SSD stated when Resident 4 had returned on
5/20/2025 I had asked her was she sexually abused and she had said Yes,. The SSD stated accusation of
sexual assault is considered abuse. The SSD stated she was a mandated reporter when there was an
accusation of sexual abuse. The SSD stated she did not notify the Administrator when she had received the
