Summary
The facility failed to report the results of an investigation into an allegation of resident-to-resident abuse to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) within the required five-day timeframe. According to the SOC 341 form, the facility became aware of the abuse allegation involving two residents and reported the initial incident to CDPH the following day. However, although the facility completed its investigative report, it did not submit the results to CDPH until ten days after the incident. The facility's own policy and procedures require that the state survey agent receive a copy of the investigative report within five days of the incident.
