32 | Allegation #1: Staff do not ensure that the client’s healthcare needs are met.
It was alleged that client #1 (C1) did not receive any medical or dental visits for seven months. Staff interview revealed that Staff #1 (S1) takes clients to their medical/ dental appointments or urgent care when needed. LPA attempted to interview clients, but they were non-verbal. LPA observed the clients to be healthy and well. A review of facility clients medical appointment records verified the information revealed from the interview.
Based on interviews and record review, there is insufficient information to support the allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Allegation #2: Staff falsified client records.
It was alleged that the facility licensee falsified clients’ records, including physician reports for C1 and client #2 (C2). Staff interviewed revealed that they would never falsify records of clients. LPA reviewed client's records, and it was observed that the client's physician reports (LIC 602 A) are stamped and signed by a licensed vendor physician from NLACRC. LPA observed and reviewed clients’ after-visit summary (AVS) from the hospital and/or emergency rooms. A review of facility records verified the information revealed from the interview.
Based on interviews and record reviews, there is no sufficient information to support the allegation. Therefore, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Allegation #3: Staff mismanaged client funds.
It was alleged that the facility staff are financially mismanaging clients' funds, including funds received from C1’s family. An interview with the licensee revealed that the facility does not receive full payment from NLACRC and that the C1 family had to pay the remaining balance from C1's Social Supplementals Income (SSI) managed by C1’s family. A review of C1’s admission agreement verified that C1’s cash resources, including their Personal and Incidental (P&I) funds are handled by their family. A telephonic interview with C1 family today at 12:24 PM revealed that they are the guardian for C1, and they have no financial issue with the facility.Based on observations, interviews, and record review, C1’s funds are not being mismanaged. Therefore, the allegation is deemed UNSUBSTANTIATED at this time.
