What the official deficiency says

(a) Each licensee shall furnish to the licensing agency such reports as the Department may require, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) A written report shall be submitted to the licensing agency and to the person responsible for the resident within seven days of the occurrence of any of the events specified in (A) through (D) below. This report shall include the resident's name, age, sex and date of admission; date and nature of event; attending physician's name, findings, and treatment, if any; and disposition of the case. (D) Any incident which threatens the welfare, safety or health of any resident, such as psychological abuse of a resident by staff or other residents, or unexplained absence of any resident. This requirement is not met as evidenced by: Based on interviews and records review, the facility staff sent the LIC624 Unusual Incident Report to Licensing on 09/18/2025 for a physical altercation between Resident #1 (R1) and Resident #3 (R3) that occurred on 09/08/2025. LPA obtained facility Progress Notes which indicated that the staff had knowledge of the physical altercation between R1 and R3 on 09/08/2025. The facility failed to not report to licensing within seven days, per Title 22 reporting requirements. This poses a potential health and safety risk to persons in care.

Official plan of correction
