13 | On 10/14/21 at 01:26 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) D Panlilio conducted an unannounced subsequent complaint visit to deliver the findings of above allegations. LPA explained the reason for the visit with administrator.
Allegation: Resident fell multiple times while in care
Investigation Finding: UNSUBSTANTIATED
During investigation, LPAs observed C1 walking around without the aid of the walker. C1 showed LPAs the healed cut on her left knee. C1 stated to LPAs that she has had multiple unwitnessed falls at the facility due to weakness in her left knee. On 09/22/21, she told LPAs she fell and hit her left knee on the metal railing at the front landing close to her bedroom and cut her knee. Staff immediately called 911. C1 was sent to the hospital for evaluation/ treatment, given pain medication and released the same day back with a walker back to the facility. C1 stated she only used the walker once after she came back from the hospital. Based on interviews and record reviews, C1 is ambulatory and does not require assistance with her activities of daily living (ADLs). Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation is unsubstantiated.
No deficiencies cited. Exit Interview conducted and a copy of this report provided
