(Resident sustained pressure injury while in care.)
(Staff not supervising resident resulting in fall(s).)
(Staff not seeking medical attention for resident.)
(Staff not keeping facility free from odor.)
(Facility is dirty.)
Based on review of medical documentation from Silverado Hospice Los Angeles, it was documented that R1 had a DTPI to the mid-back, left heel, right heel, right lateral foot, left lateral foot on 9/18/2020. R1 was not ambulatory and needed help with ADLs but was not bedridden. There is nothing in hospice notes that states that R1 needed to be repositioned every so often to prevent pressure injuries. It was first noted by the facility on 8/20/2020 that R1 had a red area on the right mid-back. The facility nurses addressed the wounds and had R1 admitted to Silverado Hospice Los Angeles on 9/18/2020.
According to interviews, the facility has enough staff coverage across different shifts and staff supervise residents at all times. The facility staff verbalized that they know and understand the protocol for when a resident falls in the facility. Residents have a call button for assistance. Some residents also have body alarms if they are residents who are confused and disoriented and attempting to get up. Staff indicated an awareness of when to seek medical attention for residents, one of the indicators being any change of condition. Staff also stated that they are trained to call 9-1-1 for any resident that needs immediate medical attention.
Residents and staff generally stated that the facility does not have an odor unless a resident is actively being changed. Residents generally stated that the facility is kept very well. Residents also stated that they have not seen the facility being dirty.
Based on the information obtained, per interviews, and record review, there was insufficient evidence that Silverado Senior Living - Beverly Place acted negligently. Silverado Hospice Los Angeles believes
that the facility complied with and maintained the care plan for R1. |
