25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Lyman conducted an attempted unannounced visit via telephone to deliver findings on an investigation completed by the Department. LPA was unsuccessful contacting the Licensee. During the course of the investigation, the following deficiencies were observed and are being cited via this case management deficiency.
Resident 1 (R1) was admitted to the facility on July 14, 2023, and has a diagnosis of Dementia per Physician report dated July 14, 2023.
On August 15, 2024, at around 7 AM, R1 was found by Staff 1 (S1) slipping through their bedrail, with half their torso slipping down and their arms embracing the railing. Staff 2 (S2) who was on duty during the night reported checking on R1 around 4 AM and observing them sleeping soundly. An X-Ray was ordered by R1’s Hospice Doctor which confirmed R1 had an acute non displaced interarticular mid olecranon fracture due to fall. The facility is licensed for a total capacity of 15 of which are to be spread out over the two homes on the property. Per interviews conducted with caregivers, there is only one staff on duty during the hours of 1900 to 0700 hours for both houses on the property. The night of R1’s slip, S2 reported leaving the house in which R1 resides and going to the other house at around 5AM. Interviews with residents confirmed the facility has a call pendant to call caregivers for assistance; however, R1’s physician report indicates R1 is unable to communicate needs. Interviews with the facility house manager confirmed they did not think R1 would’ve been able to use the call pendant as R1 was not mentally capable of taking care or comprehending.
Interviews with the house manager reported R1’s spouse was in charge of giving R1 their medications and would often tell staff they would not give R1 their full medications in hopes it would help their condition. The facility Medication Administration Record (MAR) for R1 notes Staff 3 (S3) administered R1’s medications on August 14, 2023, however, S3 reported they were off and were in Las Vegas at the time. S3 reported they pre-pour resident’s medications for the week and R1’s spouse Administers R1’s medications. Per review of facility records, as of November 09, 2023, Administrator Arlene Mahinay and House Manager did not have their fingerprints associated to facility.
