32 | Allegation 1 – Resident sustained injury while in care. R#1 states that they fell while taking a walk through the hallways. R#1 was using a walker and tripped on the carpet and fell. R#1 sustained bruising and swelling from the fall. When the incident occurred, R#1 got up and went straight to their room. They did not report the incident to the staff, R#1 just informed R#1 family member. Interviews with R#2 – R#6, stated that they have never had any injuries while at the facility. Interviews with Staff and executive Director stated that they did not receive any reports of residents getting injured while in care. LPA observed R#1 injury on their right knee, it was still a little bruised, it was already healing. Even though, R#1 did fall, R#1 is able to walk without care giver assistance, therefore, the facility could not have prevented the accidental fall. The interviews and observations did not concur with the above allegation.
Allegation 2 - Staff are not responding to resident's call buttons in a timely manner. Interviews with staff Executive director, they all agree that the call buttons are always answered right away. If they cannot answer the call button right away because they are busy taking care of another resident, they call another care giver for help. Resident interviews all agree that some staff do not respond in a timely manner they take about 20 to 30 mins to respond to the call button. LPA and Executive Director tested the call button on room 214, it took the care giver 10min. to answer the call button. Executive director stated that it should take a care giver 5min to 10min depending on what the care giver is doing at the time. The interviews and observations did not concur with the above allegation.
Allegation 3 - Staff did not administer resident's medication in a timely manner. Interview with R#1 stated that they asked for medication for headache and it never arrived. R#1 let her family member know and they texted care giver requesting medication. Medication was delivered about 25 min after text request and family member had to look for care giver. R#2, R#5, & R#6 agreed that staff is always late with their medication. R#3 & R#4, cannot recall if their medication is on time or not. Executive Director and S#2 – S#6, all agreed that they always give medication on time. LPA reviewed the Medication Procedures. Med 02 - Section, allows Medication technicians to give medication 1 hour before or 1 hour after the prescription time, unless actual time stated by doctor. The interviews and records reviewed did not concur with the above allegation.
