Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an allegation of abuse was reported promptly to facility administration, Adult Protective Services, and the State Licensing Agency. A resident who had been admitted in May 2025 and was exhibiting aggressive behaviors required staff intervention and an emergent hospital transfer. On 5/8/2025, a Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) witnessed another LNA hit the resident with a package of wipes during an incident where the resident was hitting the staff member and then lunged at her. However, the witnessing LNA did not report the incident until 5/22/2025, resulting in a delay in notifying the appropriate authorities about the suspected abuse.
