Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement effective policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. This deficiency was identified through surveyor observations and review of facility documentation, which revealed that the required safeguards and protocols were either not in place or not consistently followed. As a result, the facility did not ensure adequate protection of residents from potential harm related to abuse, neglect, or theft. Surveyors noted the absence of comprehensive preventive measures and a lack of staff adherence to existing procedures, contributing to the facility's inability to safeguard residents as required by regulations.
