LPA conducted inspection with ED on 2/07/22. LPA interviewed the following: staff (ED, S1, S2, S4, S5, S6) on 2/07/22, 9/28/23, 9/05/24, 9/13/24 and 4/30/25; R1’s family member (FM1) on 9/13/24; residents (R2, R3, R4, R6, R7, R8) on 2/07/22, 9/28/23 and 4/30/25. LPA tried to reach staff (S3) and home health nurse (HH1), but they did not return LPA’s calls.
Allegation: Resident (R1) sustained pressure injuries while in care.
S1 stated she does not remember if R1 had pressure injury but thinks R1 had some redness which is usual when one is staying long on the chair and R1 was attended by home health. S2 stated she was not assigned to R1 but observed caregivers attended to R1. S4 stated she does not remember R1 because residents come and go but if she observes skin issue, she reports to the med-tech and she repositions resident every 2 hours. S5 and S6 stated R1 had pressure injury. S6 also stated that that was also the reason R1 was visited by home health which was also stated by FM1. S5 and S6 stated R1 was a difficult resident. S5 further stated when R1 was repositioned, R1 returned to her original position. R1 was provided wedge; however, R1 asked the staff remove it.
Review of home health records showed R1 was certified and re-certified for home health care from 2021 to 2022 and at some point, during these periods, R1 was visited by home health due to pressure injury. On 3/08/22 document indicated R1 was discharged from Home Health. It was noted on the document that R1 has no unhealed or stage 2 or higher pressure injury and had no stasis ulcer.
Based on interviews and records review, and LPA unable to obtain information from R1, S3 and HH1, the allegation is unsubstantiated.
Allegation: Resident's diapering needs are not being met.
It was reported that when HH1 asked R1 to stand up so HH1 can see R1’s buttock wound, R1 said, “Let me first pee in my diaper” and when R1 was done, HH1 helped remove the diaper and amount of urine was weighing 2-3x of urine episode and that was causing the stage 2 pressure injury in the buttock. ..............................continued on 9099C (page 3) |
