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 P&P for
ensuring the reporting of a reasonable suspicion of a crime in accordance with section 1150B of the Act
when an allegation of abuse involving CNA 1 and one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was not
reported timely to the CDPH, L&C Program. This failure posed the risk of potential abuse to go unreported
and uninvestigated.
Findings:
Review of the facility's P&P titled Abuse Recognition/Reporting Elder/Dependent revised 2/2024 showed
any instance of alleged or suspected abuse involving a resident will be reported in accordance with Welfare
and Institutional Codes of the State of California, Federal Law, California Health and Safety Codes, and the
Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act. The facility is required to report all incidents of
alleged abuse or suspected abuse to the Department of Health Services within 24 hours.
Review of the SOC 341 Report of Suspected Dependent Adult/Elder Abuse dated 6/28/24, showed
Resident 1's family members accused CNA 1 of hitting Resident 1.
Medical record review for Resident 1 was initiated on 7/15/24. Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on
[DATE].
Review of Resident 1's H&P examination dated 3/14/24, showed Resident 1 was cognitively intact.
Review of Resident 1's Nursing Notes dated 6/22/24, showed Resident 1 sustained a scratch on the left
temple area.
On 7/15/24 at 0915 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 1. CNA 1 stated he had noted an
abrasion above Resident 1's left eye and reported it to the LVN. CNA 1 stated he was unsure how the injury
had occurred. CNA 1 stated Resident 1's family members approached him on 6/23/24, and accused him of
causing Resident 1's injury on the left temple area. CNA 1 further stated the charge nurse was in the
nursing station with him and overheard the situation. CNA 1 stated the abuse should be reported right away
to the charge nurse.
On 7/16/24 at 1015 hours, an interview was conducted with RT 1. RT 1 stated he heard Resident 1's family
members accusing CNA 1 of causing Resident 1's injury on the left temple area.
