Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of abuse in a timely manner. Specifically, a resident informed an occupational therapist that a caregiver had been rough with them the previous evening, resulting in knee pain. Although this allegation was communicated to staff in the morning, the facility did not report the incident to the Office of Health Care Quality until later that afternoon, exceeding the required reporting timeframe. During an interview, the Nursing Home Administrator stated he was unaware of the requirement to report all abuse allegations within two hours.
