Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an alleged violation involving neglect was reported to the State Agency in a timely manner. Specifically, a resident eloped from the facility, and the incident was not reported to the State Agency until over two months later. The facility was unable to determine how or when the resident left the building. Interviews with the resident's family and administrative staff confirmed the delay in reporting the elopement and the lack of clarity regarding the circumstances of the resident's departure and return.
