At 9:30 AM, S2 check on R1 and the caregiver reported to S2 that R1 walked to the living room without any difficulty. S2 observed the R1 eating her breakfast and decided to return to do a body check after the resident finished her meal.

She further explained that R1 can still ambulate without difficulty and had no pain. S2 assessed the resident in bed and resident complained of pain on left leg with pain 5 out of 10 in the groin area. She contacted 911 emergency at approximately 11:30 AM.

As such, there is insufficient evidence to corroborate whether the above allegation has occurred. Based on the information gathered during the investigation and review of all documents obtained, the allegation is deemed unsubstantiated. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur.
An exit teleconference was conducted with Haidy Andrawes, AD and LPA Chin discussed and read this report. A copy of this report will be provided via email along with the appeal rights. Haidy Andrawes agreed to review the report and return a signed copy.
