Visit Reason
This visit was conducted as an investigation of Complaint IN00452241 regarding allegations of abuse at StoryPoint Granger.
Complaint Details

The facility failed to implement their policy related to investigating and reporting allegations of abuse for one resident (Resident B). The investigation found that a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA 3) allegedly acted abusively toward Resident B, but the facility did not immediately report the allegation to the Director of Nursing, Administrator, or State Authorities, and did not suspend the CNA pending investigation.
