25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Misty Valencia conducted an unannounced case management visit and met with Holly Suiter, Administrator. Today’s visit is regarding an incident report (date of 7/11/22) submitted to licensing on 07/12/2022 where client (R1) choked on a piece of chicken in his own room.
An interview was conducted with Admin, who reported that the choking incident is common with a diagnosis of dysphagia. R1 was taken to ER for further assessment because R1 had breathing issues. R1 was evaluated and returned back to the facility that same day. Appointment with the primary physician (PP) on 08/02/22 had no changes in diet or medications. R1 is on constant alert charting especially during meal times.
It appears the facility acted within the doctor's orders, R1 was not on any food restrictions or special diets and no changes from the PP.
No deficiencies were cited during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of the report was emailed to Admin.
