Latest version.
- If, after review of the results of the investigation, the department determines that an individual used by such nursing facility or skilled nursing facility to provide services to vulnerable adults, has abandoned, abused, neglected, or financially exploited a vulnerable adult, or has misappropriated a vulnerable adult's property, the department will make a substantiated initial finding to that effect. However, a substantiated initial finding of neglect will not be made if the individual demonstrates that the neglect was caused by factors beyond their control.
