The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued a Provider Information Notice (PIN) reminding Adult and Senior Care (ASC) licensees of their mandated reporting requirements under the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act. The PIN outlines requirements for abuse reporting, a signed employee acknowledgement of mandated reporter status, and information about required abuse training. ASC licensees and facility staff, including support and maintenance staff, are mandated reporters and play a crucial role in protecting the health, safety, and well-being of individuals in care. The notice specifies reporting requirements for different types of abuse and the corresponding agencies to report to. Non-compliance with these reporting requirements can result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Licensees and facility staff must undergo training within 60 days of their first day of employment, and the CDSS provides resources for online training.
