Summary
The facility failed to submit the results of its investigation into a resident-to-resident altercation to the State Survey Agency within the required five working days. The incident involved two residents who swung at each other, and the initial documentation provided by the facility was undated and inaccurately stated that there was no physical contact. During interviews, both the DON and the Administrator were unable to confirm whether the 5-day follow-up investigation report had been sent to the appropriate authorities. The facility's own policy requires that findings of all completed investigations be reported within five working days, but this was not followed in this case.
