accordance with State law through established
procedures.
§483.12(c)(4) Report the results of all
investigations to the administrator or his or her
designated representative and to other officials
in accordance with State law, including to the
State Survey Agency, within 5 working days of
the incident, and if the alleged violation is
verified appropriate corrective action must be
taken.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on interview and record review, the
facility failed to report within five working days,
the results of an allegation of sexual abuse for
one out of three sampled residents (Resident
1) to the Department of Public Health (DPH),
the ombudsman and law enforcement as
indicted in the facility's policy and procedure.
Resident 1, who had a history of anxiety
(excessive worry or fear), schizophrenia (a
chronic and severe mental disorder that affects
how a person thinks, feels, and behaves), and
dementia (loss of memory and other mental
abilities severe enough to interfere with daily
life) reported having her vagina touched
inappropriately and without gloves by Certified
Nursing Assistant 1 (CNA 1). The results of the
investigation were not reported to the DPH, the
ombudsman or law enforcement.
This deficient practice had the potential to
jeopardize the safety of Resident 1.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1's Record of Admission
indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on July 8, 2019. Resident 1's diagnoses
included anxiety and generalized muscle
