32 | The complainant did not provide a specific incident nor a specific resident. This department pulled a sample of residents based on interviews with staff, to review.
During staff interviews, this department found staff are not ensuring residents are receiving medical care timely, this was confirmed by record review. Staff provided a name of resident (R1) who they observed had a change in condition. Staff stated the resident started throwing up and was not at resident’s baseline. Staff admitted to not summoning EMS at time of observation which was documented on 12/17/2021 at 3:02PM.
Upon further review of staff observations, provided to the department by Roseleaf Executive Director, in excel sheet format, this department noted that staff believed R1 had a UTI (urinary track infection) on 12/10/2021 at 8:14 PM. The next entry is listed as a “critical” observation on 12/11/21 at 7:30 PM stating R1 was in bed all day and refused all meals. On 12/11/21 at 10:28PM, staff notes R1 had no urine output. There are no observation notes until 12/12/21 at 8:57 PM which is listed as critical stating, R1 has large skin discoloration on the right side of R1’s head and R1 has no recollection of what happened. On 12/13/21 at 2:02 PM, Staff note R1 woke up at 8AM and had stayed in bed at an awkward angel since awakening. Staff attempted several times throughout breakfast to get R1 to join the others at breakfast but R1 declined. On 12/13/21/ at 10:25 PM, staff noted resident has a red and purple skin discoloration on her left knee. Its not documented until 12/18/21, R1 had been to the emergency room under staff observations. From 12/10/2021-12/18/2021, although staff notated “critical” observations to include change in condition and injuries to R1’s head and knee, R1 did not receive medical care. This department confirmed R1 was sent out on 12/17/2021 at the request of the responsible party after being contacted by the facility's med tech as directed by Executive Director Eric Perry, at which time R1 was hospitalized however this was not reported to CCLD. Staff interviews confirmed these observations and staff who observed changes in condition and bruising did not summon medical.
