On 10/12/2022, LPA made the following observations during a tour of the facility with Administrator Amber Farmer:
At 2:15 PM, LPA observed R2 to be in room #18 asleep on R3's bed unsupervised. R2 does not reside in R3's room. R3 was hesitant to go into R3's room due to R2 being in there. At 2:25 PM, LPA observed R4 to be in room #22 belonging to R5. In room #22 LPA observed Febreze. In Room #22 bathroom cabinet LPA observed a razor.
At 2:15PM, LPA observed R2 to have bandages around both forearms. Administrator stated R2 has had many unwitnessed falls which have resulted in injuries. R2 is currently on hospice (effective July 27, 2022).
At 2:27 PM, LPA observed R6 to be walking down the hall with bandaging on R6's right forearm which R6 was holding up with R6 left hand. R6 had yellowed colored bruising above right eye that covered half of R6's forehead and yellow bruising over R6 nose. R6 had dark blue and purple bruising below left eye and above eye brow. Skin tears were observed on left temple and left wrist. LPA observed R6's right sock to have holes that R6's toe stuck out of. Administrator states there were falls on 8/12/22, 9/22/22 and on 10/4/22. The falls on 8/12 and 9/22 were unwitnessed and resulted in a ER visit and bruising to the face. R6 was admitted to hospice on 10/11/22.
Currently there are 5 residents on hospice at the facility.
Administrator agreed with LPA that the acuity of residents is high at this time and there needs to be an increase of staff. The licensee has stipulated with the administrator that there has to be an increase in the number of residents to increase the number of staff. LPA discussed with Amber that if there are insufficient staff whether its due to number of staff or competence of staff, then it would be in the facility's best interest to stop admitting new residents until the facility can meet the needs of all residents in care. LPA went over 87411 CCR with Amber and discussed that there has to be sufficient staff to meet the needs of residents.
