Summary
The facility failed to maintain evidence that all allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment were thoroughly investigated. During an interview, the Administrator stated that there was no documentation of any investigations conducted since the beginning of the year because the previous Social Services Director took the Reportable Binder, which contained all investigation records, upon leaving the facility. As a result, there was a gap in documentation and evidence of investigations for several months, affecting the ability to demonstrate that allegations were properly addressed for all 62 residents in the facility during that period.
