32 | Allegation: Staff are not scheduling resident's medical appointments.
It was alleged that facility staff failed to schedule Resident #1’s (R1) medical appointments, resulting in incomplete referrals and tests. To investigate this allegation, LPA conducted interviews with the Administrator, R1’s Case Manager, and four (4) out of six (6) residents who were available.
The Administrator stated that R1’s medical appointments and referrals are coordinated by the Case Manager and that the facility’s role is limited to assisting with communication and transportation. The Case Manager confirmed they are responsible for scheduling R1’s medical appointments and referrals and stated R1 has not missed any appointments. R1 confirmed that the Case Manager schedules all medical appointments and denied missing appointments or experiencing delays in care. Interviews with four (4) residents did not identify concerns regarding facility assistance with medical care.
Based on interviews, LPA was unable to obtain evidence that facility staff failed to schedule R1’s medical appointments or that R1’s care was affected due to facility actions. Therefore, the allegation is Unsubstantiated.
