25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Trevor Byrne arrived to the facility at 09:05 AM to conduct an unannounced Case Management visit at the facility today. LPA met with Administrator Annie Osborne. The LPA advised the Administrator of the reason for the visit.
During an investigation into a complaint at the facility, LPA Byrne interviewed the facility Administrator. Interviews with the Administrator revealed that Resident #1 (R1) was admitted to the hospital on 10/18/2024 or 10/19/2024 and again on 10/24/2024 and the Administrator did not submit an Unusual Incident/Injury Report (UIR) or written report to the Department.
