Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an allegation of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment was reported immediately to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), as required by regulation. Specifically, an allegation of financial abuse by a family member involving a resident with major depressive disorder, psychotic features, dementia, and behavioral disturbances was not reported to the OSDH within the mandated two-hour timeframe. Documentation showed the incident was reported several days after the initial allegation. The administrator acknowledged that all allegations should be reported within two hours but was unable to explain the delay in this case.
