Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement effective policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. This deficiency was identified through surveyor observations and review of facility documentation, which revealed that the required safeguards and protocols were not in place or not consistently followed. As a result, the facility did not ensure adequate protection of residents from potential harm related to abuse, neglect, or theft. Surveyors found that the absence of comprehensive and enforced policies contributed to an environment where residents were at risk, as staff were not provided with clear guidance or training on how to prevent, identify, and report such incidents.
