67 PROVIDENCE BENEDICTINE NURSING CENTER 385018 540 SOUTH MAIN STREET MOUNT ANGEL OR 97362 2018-12-19 609 F 1 1 NNTH11 **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** > Based on interview and record review it was determined the facility failed to ensure allegations of abuse or neglect were reported appropriately for 5 of 6 sampled residents (#s 7, 36, 42, 61 and 423) reviewed for abuse. This placed residents at increased risk for ongoing abuse. Findings include: The facility's policy on Abuse Reporting (undated) indicated anyone who suspects abuse should immediately notify his or her immediate supervisor, the Director of Nursing or the Administrator. After receipt of a report of potential abuse an investigation should be started immediately. Once the initial investigation is completed, it will be given to the resident care manager for a final investigation, then to nursing administration or the administrator for continued investigation or follow-up. Nursing administration/Administrator will report to Adult Protective Services as appropriate. Any incidents of alleged abuse involving serious bodily injury or sexual abuse will be reported to local law enforcement and survey agency immediately (or within 2 hours). The Administrator and DNS should be notified immediately whenever local law enforcement is notified of an incident occurring at the facility. 1.
