Summary
The facility failed to report allegations of abuse and injury of unknown origin within the required two-hour timeframe for two out of six residents reviewed. For one resident, an x-ray report indicating an acute hand fracture was received, but the injury of unknown origin was not reported to the State Agency until approximately three days later. In another case, an incident report documented an allegation of resident-to-resident abuse, but the facility reported the incident to the State Agency about four hours after the altercation. These delays in reporting were confirmed through record review and staff interview.
