32 | LPA reviewed the UIIR dated January 18, 2026, for R1. Per UIIR, on January 18, 2026, R1 was taken to the hospital due to having a fall while jumping up and down the stairs. The Department also reviewed the UCI Health Fountain Valley Medical Records dated January 18, 2026, for R1. Per Medical Records, R1 reported that he missed the last step while walking downstairs and sustained a femoral neck fracture. During the interviews with R1’s Physician’s Assistant (PA) it was reported that R1’s care plan had been established in 2021 and remains in place. Per PA, R1 was nonambulatory in 2021 but became ambulatory and independent after regaining mobility following a successful knee surgery in 2022. Per PA, R1 is not a fall risk. The PA reported that an assisted device was recommended; but not required. During the interviews with residents R1 stated that the fall was an accident and reported that he chose to use the stairs based on personal preference. R3 and R4 stated that the residents have not sustained a fracture due to lack of care and/or supervision from staff. During the interviews with staff, S1-S2 reported that R1 did not sustain a fracture due to lack of care and supervision.
Based on the information gathered during the investigation and review of documents obtained, LPA is unable to ascertain if the allegation occurred as reported due to insufficient evidence. Therefore, the allegation has been deemed to be UNSUBSTANTIATED.
LPA Ramirez conducted an exit interview with AD Osuna, and a copy of this report was provided to the facility. |
