Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement effective policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. This deficiency was identified through review of facility documentation and staff interviews, which revealed that the required policies and procedures were either not in place or not consistently followed. The lack of clear guidance and enforcement contributed to an environment where incidents of abuse, neglect, or theft could occur without adequate prevention or timely intervention. Surveyors found that staff were not adequately trained or informed about the necessary steps to identify, report, and prevent such incidents, and there was insufficient oversight to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
