At approximately 10:30 am LPA conducted an interview with the administrator regarding the allegation. It is alleged that resident # 1(R1) was removed from hospice services and R1's disposable catheter bag was removed also.

Staff did not supply resident with a bed
It is alleged that the facility did not supply R1 with a bed after R1's hospital bed was taken by hospice agency without notice. LPA conducted interviews with the administrator and R1. Information from the interviews reveal that R1 was removed from hospice services without proper notice. Hospice agency showed up to the facility and gave R1 one hour notice before taking R1's bed. According to the facility they did not have any notice that R1 was being discharged from hospice and did not have an available hospital bed to give R1. R1 was instead given another bed that same day by facility staff. Based on the information obtained through interviews this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
