During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 6/15/18 at 3:30 p.m., she stated the facility did not do an investigation regarding the bruising on 3/27/18 and did not report to the department (of Public Health).

A review of an undated facility policy titled "Resident Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation and Misappropriation of Property" indicated an injury of unknown source occurred when the source of the injury was not observed by any person or the source of injury could not be explained by the resident and the injury was suspicious because of the extent or location of the injury. The facility had procedures that included immediately reporting all alleged violations to the Administrator/ Director of Nursing, state agency, adult protective services and to all required agencies within specific time frames. The facility had procedures that included identifying staff responsible for investigation, identifying and interviewing all involved persons, including the alleged victim, alleged perpetrator, witnesses and others who may have had knowledge of the allegation and providing a complete and thorough documentation of the investigation.
