32 | The investigation revealed the following:
Allegation - Resident sustained an injury while in care. It was alleged that Resident #1 (R-1) sustained a severe UTI as a result of being left in soiled diapers for extended periods of time. The Investigations Branch (IB) Investigator Brian Slatic conducted the investigation on this allegation. All the staff interviewed denied R-1 was left in a soiled diaper for extended periods of time. The facility policy requires the residents to be checked at least every 2 hours. In addition, Investigator Slatic obtained and reviewed hospital records for this investigation. Although R-1 did sustain an UTI, it cannot be conclusively shown that it was a result of lack of staff supervision or neglect. Based on interviews and records reviewed by the Investigator, there is not supportive evidence to concur with this allegation.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator. A copy of this report along with the appeal rights were provided. |
