32 | Allegation: Staff do not allow residents to participate in decision making regarding care provided.
Allegation: Staff did not communicate with responsible parties regarding residents' care.
The reporting party stated that the licensee had a doctor (DR) came to the facility on February 2026 and provided care to residents (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5) and that DR ordered physical therapy (PT) for the residents, however, the residents have their own physicians and the residents' responsible parties were not consulted prior to DR providing care.
The licensee stated she remembers about DR coming to the facility, because the residents' LIC602A Physician's Reports need to be updated in order to be in compliance and residents needing assessment due to falls. The licensee further stated that her understanding was Geraldine Tayo (IADM) and another staff had contacted the residents' family members.
Review of R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 records showed these residents have their primary care physician, not DR. One of the resident's responsible person, FM, stated not getting a call from the facility about a different doctor checking on the resident. R1 and R2 indicated being seen by a different doctor and that they were not given prior notice. Records also showed R1 and R2 are seen by PT.
IADM confirmed that DR came on the said date and an instruction were disseminate to the facility staff by staff (SS) night prior. Both IADM and S1 stated they were not able to call the residents' family members nor informed the residents that a different doctor is coming for assessment due to information was sent late night and that DR came the following day. Review of document confirmed both S1 and IADM's statements regarding the time the information was disseminated. Document also showed there was no instruction from SS to contact the residents' responsible persons nor inform the residents. Document also showed SS asking the staff for copies of LIC602 and insurance and to have them ready by 9:30 am on the day DR is coming.
