Summary
The facility failed to submit a required Five-Day Follow-Up Investigation report to the appropriate agencies after an initial report of alleged abuse, neglect, or theft. During record review, it was found that fax confirmation sheets for the Five-Day Follow-Up Investigation, related to a previously reported incident, were missing. The Administrator confirmed the absence of these records and was unable to provide evidence that the follow-up report had been sent. Additionally, the state surveyor verified with the Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification (OHFLAC) that the follow-up investigation was not on file. No further documentation was provided to demonstrate compliance with the reporting requirement.
