Healthcare professionals are mandated to report suspected abuse, which typically includes Activity Directors and their staff.

Your answer also shows your leadership style and how you handle employee discipline.

Marcie's Feedback
Excellent. Would you first observe and gather information to ensure you weren't jumping the gun? Consider reminding the interviewer of how important the safety and well-being of the residents are to you at all times and how you'd move quickly to resolve this serious situation.
