Summary
The facility failed to submit the required five-day follow-up investigation results to the State Agency for one resident involved in an incident of suspected abuse, neglect, or theft. According to the facility's Abuse Prohibition policy, the Administrator or designee is responsible for reporting findings of all completed investigations within five working days using the state online reporting system. Record review and staff interviews confirmed that the five-day follow-up report for the incident was submitted late, as acknowledged by the DON, who provided the date and time of the delayed submission. The Administrator also confirmed the expectation that all five-day follow-up reports be submitted within the required timeframe.
