32 | Facility staff not meeting residents bathing needs
Resident is unable to bear weight and is on hospice. Chart notes show weekly bathing and according to Tanya Jackson, MCD she is given a sponge bath daily. Hospice notes do not indicate any concerns regarding resident hygiene. Resident requires assistance for all bathing and notes indicate sponge baths. Based on this, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Facility staff failing to meet resident's overall care needs
Chart notes indicate that the resident's needs - bathing, grooming, denture care, dressing, eating, diet, toileting, escorting, transfers appear to be addressed and notated / documented by on duty staff. No indication in hospice notes that resident's needs are not being met. Based on this, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
Facility staff failing to administer medication to resident as prescribed
MAR for February 2020 indicates that Rx medication is being prescribed as directed, OTC medication were periodically administered per resident's request and charted. Resident is able to communicate her needs. Based on this, this allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
As a result of this investigation, LPA finds the allegation that facility staff failing to provide adequate food service, facility staff not meeting residents bathing needs, facility staff failing to meet resident's overall care needs and facility staff failing to administer medication to resident as prescribed to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A finding that the complaint is unsubstantiated means that although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred. |
