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, record review, the facility failed to report an alleged violation of abuse/neglect immediately, but not later than 2 hours after the allegation is made, if the events that cause the allegation resulted in serious bodily injury, to officials in accordance with State law, including to the State Survey Agency for one (Resident #1) of 9 residents reviewed for abuse/neglect. The facility failed to report that Resident #1 alleged that she had been raped on 1-22-2025. The noncompliance was found to be Past Non-Compliance (PNC). The noncompliance began on 1-22-2024 and ended on 2-2-2024. The facility corrected the noncompliance before the investigation began. This failure could result in delayed identification of abuse or neglect and lack of timely follow-up on recommended interventions to prevent serious bodily harm, or lasting physical impairment.

from Resident #1's room.
