Review of the facility policy Nursing Facility Abuse Prevention, Identification, Investigation and Reporting Policy, with a revision date of November 2024, documented it shall be the policy of this facility to implement written procedures that prohibit abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property.

These procedures shall include the screening and training of employees, protection of residents and the prevention, identification, investigation, and timely reporting of abuse, neglect, mistreatment, and misappropriation of property, without fear of recrimination or intimidation.

The facility will identify, through ongoing assessment, high-risk situations where abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of resident property may occur and provide appropriate intervention in such occasions.

Upon receiving a report of an allegation of resident abuse, neglect, exploitation or mistreatment, the facility shall immediately implement measures to prevent further potential abuse of residents from occurring while the facility investigation is in process. If this involves an allegation of abuse by an employee, this will be accomplished by separating the employee accused of abuse from all residents.
