FLTCA Alignment: 28-Reporting certain matters to Director 

The following must be reported to the Director: improper or incompetent care of a resident resulting in harm or risk of harm to the resident, abuse of a resident by anyone, or neglect of a resident by staff, misuse or misappropriation of a resident’s money, or misuse or misappropriation of funding provided to a home. Knowingly providing false information in a report to the Director is an offense. Residents are allowed report under subsection 1 but are not required to. The following persons are guilty of an offense if they fail to report required by subsection 1: Licensees or managers of the long-term care home, an officer or director of the corporation (if the long-term care home is managed by a corporation), a member of the committee or board of management of the home (if the home is approved under Part IX), any staff member, any person who provides professional services to a resident or to the home in the areas of health, social work, or social services work. Every person mentioned in this section is guilty of an offense if the person discourages, coerces or intimidates a person not to make a required report, or authorizes permits or concurs in a contravention of the duty to make a report required in this section. Nothing in this section abrogates solicitor-client privilege.
