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.

If this involves an allegation of abuse by an employee, this will be accomplished by separating the employee accused of abuse from all residents.
