Plain-language summary

A complaint investigation at Memory Haven Sumner on November 25, 2024 found that the facility failed to report an incident of physical abuse of a resident to law enforcement and the state hotline as required by law, and failed to post the state's toll-free abuse reporting number where staff, residents, and visitors could see it. Staff members notified the administrator, doctor, and family, but did not make the mandatory reports to law enforcement and the state Complaint Resolution Unit. The facility was cited for these violations, which the department determined placed all 38 residents at risk.

I don't have enough information in the document to write a meaningful summary for families. The inspection shows a complaint was investigated, but the narrative section is blank and the outcome fields don't clarify whether a violation was found or what the complaint concerned. To help families understand what was checked and what was found, I would need the actual details of the complaint and the inspection findings.
