their initial report. She would expect any allegation of abuse to be reported immediately and within two hours to the state.
In a follow-up interview on 08/22/2025 at 3:16 PM, the DON stated that the incident with Resident #71 and Resident #38 was reported to her late, so she informed the Administrator (ADM) that she would be unable to report the incident timely. The nurse who reported to her was educated after the fact about reporting. She reiterated that she expected staff to report immediately.
In an interview on 08/22/2025 at 2:18 PM, the ADM stated that once abuse was reported, the resident was protected first; they separated the residents, assessed them, and made sure they were safe. If abuse was reported to or witnessed by an aide, the aide would report it to the nurse, and the nurse would report it to a supervisor. It would then get reported to the ADM or the DON. After any allegation of abuse was reported,
the facility had two hours to submit the initial report to the state agency and five days to submit the final report. She stated she would expect every staff member to report any allegation of abuse immediately so
they could start their investigation.
In a follow-up interview on 08/22/2025 at 3:58 PM, the ADM stated that it did not meet expectations for an incident that occurred and was witnessed at 11:40 AM to be reported to the state agency at 3:49 PM the same day. She stated she was not sure why the allegation was reported late.
