Residents Affected - Few * CNA 11 witnessed CNA 10 in Resident 4's room. CNA 10's top scrub was lifted in front of Resident 4. This failure posed the risk for Resident 4 to not be protected against the alleged abuse and placed other vulnerable residents at risk for abuse. Findings: Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation dated 12/19/22, showed the facility will have written procedures that include reporting of all alleged violations to the Administrator, state agency, adult protective services, and to all other required agencies within specified time frame. The P&P further showed reporting of all alleged violations to the Administrator, state agency, adult protective services and to all other required agencies (e.g., law enforcement when applicable) within specified timeframes: a. Immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the events that cause the allegation involves abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or b. Not later than 24 hours if the events that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury. On 5/30/25, the CDPH, L&C program received a complaint alleging CNA 10 was topless and braless in Resident 4's room. The complaint further showed there was no police report, nor was the ombudsman notified. Additionally, there were two staff members who were present during the incident. Medical record review for Resident 4 was initiated on 6/2/25. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Review of Resident 4's H&P examination dated 2/4/25, showed the resident was not able to make decisions.
