Failure to Report Allegation of Neglect
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of neglect involving one resident, as required by regulation. A public complaint was sent to the State Agency alleging that the resident was left in soiled adult diapers for extended periods, developed open sores in the groin area, received incorrect treatment for skin impairments, and experienced symptoms such as left arm numbness, tingling, nausea, and vomiting, which were reportedly ignored by staff. The complaint was copied to the facility administrator via email. However, a review of the facility's incident report logs showed that the allegation was not logged or reported to the State Agency. During an interview, the administrator confirmed receipt of the complaint but acknowledged that the allegations were not reported to the State Agency.
