During the course of the investigation, LPA toured the facility, interviewed staff and witnesses as well as reviewed and obtained pertinent documentation such as care plan and physician report.

R1 was evaluated at Mission Hospital and subsequently transferred to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) for rehabilitation. Prior to the last fall, R1 was re-assessed by facility nurse on 03/25/2021 and R1's family notified of increased level of care. Family was notified that a care companion would be needed upon return from the hospital due to increased falls. Facility states ongoing conversations with family regarding the need for increased care and/or admittance into memory care unit. All parties involved confirm the SNF has not contacted the facility for resident discharge CONTINUED ON LIC 9099C DATED 04/15/2021 |
