The department conducted an investigation regarding the allegation that staff failed to seek timely emergency medical care for resident #1. The investigation consisted of interview(s) with facility staff, review of resident #1 medical records, and interview(s) with medical staff. The investigation revealed that resident #1 was admitted to the hospital on 7/31/19 due to falling out of his bed, but returned to the facility on the same day. On 8/1/19, resident #1 was found on the floor at 6:30am, and was assessed by staff. Resident #1 was found to be alert during the assessment. Resident #1's family was notified on the same day. Resident #1 was later transported to the hospital. Resident #1 passed away on 8/4/19 at the hospital. Medical records and interviews with medical staff indicate that the primary cause of death was due to preexisting medical conditions. Medical records listed no suspected signs of abuse or neglect. The investigation did not reveal any evidence to support that staff failed to seek timely emergency medical care for resident #1. |
