13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Katie Brown contacted the Administrator, Paige Williamson via telephone to deliver the investigation findings due to COVID-19 and pre-cautionary measures.
The Department has investigated the complaint alleging: Staff failed to inform responsible party of change in resident's condition. Based on interview of FM1, Administrator, S1, S2 and S3 it was determined that the facility used the Lic. 601 Identification and Emergency Information form completed at R1’s admission to determine the Responsible Party. Per the facility policy “Change in Resident Status”, the designated facility staff will notify the family/Responsible person of a change in status/condition. FM1 is named on the Lic. 601 as Responsible Party. Power of Attorney (POA) documentation was not provided to the facility that would have changed the Responsible Party from FM1 to RP prior to R1’s death. Based on records review of R1’s admission paperwork, facility Progress Notes and the facility policy, it was determined that the facility did report changes in resident condition to the appropriate Responsible Party. We have determined that the complaint was UNFOUNDED, therefore we have dismissed the complaint.
