32 | During interviews with two staff (S2 and S5) and two residents (R1 and R2) it was learned that Resident 1 (R1), whom is a dependent adult, reported to S2, P1, S6 and P2, that they had been inappropriately touched by Staff 3 (S3) on 9/23/25. Record review and interviews confirm that S1- S7, P1, and P2 did not complete report the incident timely to community care licensing regional office via unusual/special report, phone call, nor an SOC 341 form. S1-S7 are mandated reporters, however they did not ensure timely reporting requirements were completed when the R1 reported they were inappropriately touched in a sexual manner to staff. Based on interviews and observations of the LPA and review of records the allegation that staff failed to report suspected sexual abuse of a resident, is substantiated. A civil penalty for repeat violation applies.
