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
interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse,
neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, including injuries of unknown source and misappropriation of resident
property, are reported immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the events that
cause the allegation involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury, or not later than 24 hours if the events
that cause the allegation do not involve abuse and do not result in serious bodily injury, to the administrator
of the facility and to other officials for 1 (Resident #1) of 4 residents reviewed for incidents.
The facility staff failed to inform the ADM of Resident #1's allegation of neglect from 10/19/24 until 10/22/24,
subsequently making the ADM's report late to the SA.
This failure could place residents at risk of neglect and receiving substandard quality of care.

room. The facility reported Resident #1's neglect allegation to the SA on 10/22/24 at 1:10pm. There were no
alleged perpetrators and witnesses. Resident #1 alleged a CNA hurt her arm and thumb during
repositioning for care on either 10/16/24 or 10/18/24. Resident #1 was assessed head to toe on 10/19/24 at
1:25 PM by LVN A. LVN A found bruising to Resident #1's right thumb down to her wrist. The facility initiated
safe surveys and skin checks for all residents on Resident #1's hall and found there were no other signs of
abuse/neglect. The facility also initiated education on abuse/neglect and proper methods of repositioning
during care. Resident #1 was unable to remember when the incident occurred and give a description of the
CNA that performed the care. Resident #1 was consistent that the CNA was providing service and used her

sore and some slight bruising. Resident #1 kept repeating the incident happened either on 10/16/24 or

Resident #1's lower wrist and thumb area. Resident #1 repeated during all her interviews that the incident
happened while a CNA was providing care and didn't feel that the action was done intentionally. The facility
interviewed all staff that were assigned to Resident #1's room on the alleged days except for an Agency

meeting about Resident #1's alleged neglect incident. The DON stated she initiated the neglect reporting
protocol because it wasn't suspected abuse and because Resident #1 didn't state that the incident was
abuse. The DON stated neglect was reported to the SA within 24 hours. The DON stated neglect was
reported to the SA within two hours if staff suspected abuse. The DON stated she knew it was important to
report abuse and neglect to the SA because staff can remove the alleged staff member from the resident,
ensure resident safety, ensure other residents were not harmed, and initiate an investigation. The DON
stated residents could be harmed if staff were not reporting within the required timeframes. The DON stated
as soon as she's notified of allegations or suspicions of abuse and neglect, she would report right away.

left. The WS didn't return the call before exit.
