Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement effective policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. Surveyors identified that the facility did not have comprehensive or consistently enforced protocols in place to safeguard residents from these forms of mistreatment. This deficiency was observed through a review of facility documentation and staff interviews, which revealed gaps in staff training, inconsistent reporting mechanisms, and a lack of clear guidance on how to identify and respond to incidents of abuse, neglect, or theft. As a result, residents were left vulnerable due to the absence of adequate preventive measures.
