In addition, the facility is required to send Licensing a written report within seven days of the occurrence of any of the events indicated in Title 22 Regulation 87211(a)(1), (A) through (D). During the investigation, LPA was not given any proof of the facility reporting the incident between R1 and the private caregiver as required. Nevertheless, the facility failed to notify Licensing with 24 hours of the elder abuse and failed to provide Licensing a written report of the incident within 7 days.
