This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to report an allegation of abuse made by one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) to the Department. This deficient practice had the potential to prevent a thorough investigation and to cause Resident 1 and other residents to experience abuse. Findings: On 3/13/18 at 1:49 p.m., the Department conducted a complaint investigation with multiple allegations regarding quality of care, resident's rights and social services. On 2/28/18 at 10:48 a.m., during a telephone interview with Family 1, she stated Family 2 was at the facility in December 2017 when Resident 1 stated about CNA 1, "He's mean to me and tried to get with me." Family 2 notified the Social Worker (SW) the same day. Family 1 stated the facility called Family 2 a week ago and said CNA 1 did not do anything and blamed Resident 1's illness. A review of Resident 1's clinical records indicated she was a 43 year old female, admitted to the facility on 3/7/17 with a FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: FYEQ11 Facility ID: CA930000611 If continuation sheet 2 of 5 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a standardized comprehensive assessment and care screening tood), dated 12/11/17, indicated Resident 1 had adequate hearing and vision and had unclear speech, but was able to understand others and make herself understood. Resident 1 required extensive assistance or was totally dependent on staff for dressing, eating, toileting, and personal hygiene. On 3/13/18 at 2:15 p.m., during an interview with Resident 1, she was observed sitting in the day room, watching television and interacting with staff. Resident 1 was responsive to name and able to answer simple questions, but denied any issues with staff or care at the facility. On 3/13/18 at 3:00 p.m., during an interview with Social Worker 1 (SW 1) and the Director of Nursing (DON), SW 1 stated Family 2 had told her Resident 1 had said CNA 1 "tried to get with me." When she talked to Resident 1, she denied it and was talking about past events. The DON stated she investigated the allegation and was unable to find any evidence of abuse. SW 1 and the DON did not know if the allegation was reported to the Department. A review of a document provided by DON, dated 12/14/17 at 5:12 p.m., indicated SW had advised her of the allegation of abuse and she FORM CMS-2567(02-99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: FYEQ11 Facility ID: CA930000611 If continuation sheet 3 of 5 PRINTED: 05/14/2026 FORM APPROVED DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CENTERS FOR MEDICARE & MEDICAID SERVICES STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION OMB NO. 0938-0391 (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X1) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION A.

He was instructed not to go into the room at all. On 3/28/18 at 3:11 p.m., during an interview with Director of Patient Outcomes (DPO), he stated that he was the person who would send allegations of abuse to the Department. He was out of the office when this incident happened and was not informed about the allegation when he returned. He stated there was no record that this allegation was reported to the Department. A review of the facility's policy and procedure, titled "Abuse with Seven Components: Suspected Crime Reporting - Child, Adult, Elder Abuse" and dated 2/2017, indicated: 1) The Abuse Coordinator for [the facility] will oversee the processes for reporting, investigating, interventions and corrective actions taking during abuse incidents. 2) An investigation will be initiated immediately and completed within 5 days. This will include interviewing all individuals involved, including the resident. 3) The Internal Complaint and/or Incident Investigation Form will be used by the person delegated to do the investigation. This form will be used to write the detailed report and will be reviewed by the Risk Management Department.
