facility must establish and maintain identical
policies and practices regarding transfer,
discharge, and the provision of services under
the State plan for all residents regardless of
payment source.
§483.10(b) Exercise of Rights.
The resident has the right to exercise his or her
rights as a resident of the facility and as a
citizen or resident of the United States.
§483.10(b)(1) The facility must ensure that the
resident can exercise his or her rights without
interference, coercion, discrimination, or
reprisal from the facility.
§483.10(b)(2) The resident has the right to be
free of interference, coercion, discrimination,
and reprisal from the facility in exercising his or
her rights and to be supported by the facility in
the exercise of his or her rights as required
under this subpart.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to treat two of 4
residents (1, 3), who spoke other languages
other than English, with dignity by ensuring the
staff understood the residents needs.
The deficient practice had the potential to
cause physical and psychosocial harm to
Resident 1, 3, and other residents who did not
speak the primary language of the facility and
their needs were not being met due to the
language barrier.

allegation of someone "touching" Resident 1's
groin that was reported on 9/23/2020 from a
local hospital. The ADON stated the police
officer informed her he was not able to provide
her with any details related to the abuse
allegation. The ADON stated that on

spoke with a SW who informed her that she

alleged physical abuse allegation. However,
the ADON stated she did not inform anyone
else. The ADON stated any abuse allegations
needed to be reported to the abuse
coordinator, the local police department, the
California Department of Public Health (CDPH),
and the ombudsman immediately within two
hours if there was bodily injury or within 24
hours if there was no bodily harm. The ADON
discussed the abuse allegation with the ADM,
DON, and facility SW who collectively
determined there was "no known allegation of
abuse" because the Resident 1 nor FM 1
reported it, and the hospital did not give details
related to the abuse allegation. The ADON
acknowledged and stated the facility did not
report an abuse allegation on 10/07/2020. The
ADON stated if there were any abuse
allegations an investigation had to be started
right away. The ADON stated "everyone" was a
mandated reporter but the DON or SW

interview with the ADM stated he was the
facility's abuse coordinator and was
responsible for ensuring all the residents were

being notified of any abuse allegations he
ensured the victim and abuser were separated
and were interview any persons involved
including any witnesses. The ADM stated
abuse allegations were immediately reported to
the local police, ombudsman, and CDPH, and
then an investigation of the abuse was initiated.
The ADM stated the timeframe for abuse
reporting was two hours and the facility had five
days to complete an investigative report, either
by himself or a designated person. The ADM
stated no one had informed him of any abuse
allegations for Resident 1. The ADM stated the
ADON had informed him when the local police
went to the facility to follow up on an abuse
allegation as reported by a local hospital but
was unable to recall when he was informed.
The ADM stated the ADON had spoken with
Resident 1 and FM 1 afterwards, who did not
have any complaints. The ADM stated the
ADON also called the local hospital and local
police department to gather information but
they did not have anything to report. The ADM
stated no abuse allegation was reported to
CDPH because the local police, local hospital,
Resident 1, and FM 1 had nothing to report.
The ADM stated he could not recall how soon
the ADON had informed him of the abuse
allegation after police visited the facility on
10/07/2020. The ADM again stated that he did
not get information from anyone.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure
titled "Resident Rights, Abuse: Prevention of
and Prohibition Against", not dated, indicated:
"All allegations of abuse, neglect,
misappropriation of resident property, and
exploitation will be promptly and thoroughly
investigated by the Administrator or his/her
designee."
